OVERLAND NEWS,

THE cost of gasoline is one of the
'ess important items to the prospective
purchaser of an automobile whose aim
Is economy" This is the opinion Of
one 5of the most prominent manufactur
ers of automobiles in the world. He
Dases his argument on the declaration
tnat the modern car of today is so com
plete IN its equipment and SO reduced
III It's price that these features entirely
oHset any increase in gasoline cost
which has developed or may develop.
The automobile buyer would ease
his mind materially about gasoline
prices by taking into consideration other
features involved in the purchase of =
modern car, said John N. Willys. pres.
ldent OF the WHY'S Overland Company
recently. Every automobile owner ;s
getting more value for his money in
the automobile market today than ever
before. W.
from the standpoint Of economy in
purchase price and upkeep we can use
our Model IS as an excellent example
or .aseater value for less money than
any previous offering of it's kind in
automobile history. 1t is true that
gasoline costs few cents more this
year than last year, but comparison
o1 these FEW cents with the dollars saved
III purchase price makes the gasoline
question seem trivial.
In our Model rs we are today o;v
ing the public small light car, equipp.
ca as fully and extensively as the
heavier and more expensive machines.
at prlce within the reach of everyone
Just think Of the decrease in price of
completely equipped car during the
our Model IS, you can now buy a car
which would have been cheap at ten or
twelve hundred dollars but short time
ago. Here we have an automobile the
accessories of which alone would cost
quite sum of money, on the market at
a pllce so amazingly low that the say
ing in first purchase price would almost
cover the entire cost of gasoline dur;no
the hrst few years driving.
ANA this saving is more remarkable
Mheh you consider that Model Is is n
high quality automobile in every sense
:! the word. 1t is the highest attain
'neht IN the manufacture of automobiles
on quantity production basis. AS I
nave SAID before, this model has all the
equipment so attractive in the expen-
siVe cars, ranging from the electric
S'aftlhg ;. anu lighting system, full steam
'liie podv with sweeping curves and
crowned tenders of heavy sheet metal,
TWO plg, roomy seats and deep luxur-
ious cushions.
another point to be given serious
consideration is the fact that this small
i!sht car consumes so much less gaso-
iine III It's daily use that the cost per
miie Tor running is even less than if gas
were lower and consumption greater.
1t would take a long time to relate
an the features of this one model, with
out considering the other models, which
are practically just as revolutionary in
quahty and price. But with touring
car OF this description available at such
low hgure, do you wonder that we
smile little when someone savsp he
hesltates to buy just because gasoline
mas gone up in price? The increased
cost of gasoline is mare than Offset hv
the decreased price of the car and it's
upkeep." adv

COMPANY's
ANNUAL MEETING

! The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Utah-Idaho Sugar com
pany was held Monday afternoon in the
Vermont building. A large number Of
stockholders were present in person or
by proxy.
President S Report
Reports from the president, general
manager and secretary and treasurer
were read, President Smith IS statement
being as follows:
To the stockholders of the Utah Ida
ho Sugar company.
| | take pleasure in submitting here
with the annual reports of the com
pany's operations for the fiscal year
ending February 30, 1916. These re,
ports speak for themselves and are of a
nature which must give cause for mu-
tual congratulations to all interested
: in the company.
/ The steady growth of the sugar in
dustry in Utah and Idaho is a matte,
of deep qualification, and one in which
the community may justly feel a pride
as no industry, | am aware of surpasses
it in it's direct benefits to the people
at large, and especially to those in the
agricultural districts.
! 1t is also a pleasure to note that the
increased prosperity of the company
has enabled it to make advances from
time to time in the rates paid to beet
growers. For the past several years
the company has made increases in tbs
price of beets in various locations, and
during the last season, the sum of $685.
600 was distributed among the farmers
as a bonus over the contract prices
agreed upon. For the coming year, for
the first time, new scale will be
adopted in the payment of beets based
on their sugar contents, which will re-
suit in a substantial increase to the
growers.
This principle of sharing our pros
perity with the producers of the heets,
is one that the company recognizes as
just, and is one that the officers of
the company will take pleasure in ad-
vocating in the future, as business con
ditions may justify.
All must be aware that the sudden
change in the condition of the indus
try, from one of great depression.
to one of prosperity, has been due to
the war, and l feel sure the stock
holders will agree with the board of
directors in their policy of strength
enlng the company reserves and
projecting tseif at all points possible,
against recurrence of adverse con
dltions. Even now, the pending legisla
ton emphasizes the need of great care
and threatens to continue the uncer,
talnties in the past. Should the time
come, when the industry can rely on
settled and definite policy on the part
OF the government, it will Justify sugar
companies in extending still further
recognition to beet producers.
The detailed reports of our com.
pany's assets and liabilities, receipts
and expenses, and the outlook for the
coming season, are fully set forth in
the reports of the general manager.
and the secretary and treasurer, sub
mitted herewith.
Very Truly yours,
JOSEPH F. SMITH.

EDITOR EMBRACES ART.

Democratic editor, says he mas abandon

for more lucrative calling. He has
embraced the art line and will become
a vender of oil paintings of the Great
Masters, among whom no doubt will be
classed Nose and Woodrow. Jap seems
fiekie on everything we know of but pol
itics, but in this ungrateful and unprofit-
able calling he seems to be Democrat
bred, Democrat born, and Democrat
until he dies.
