GREAT AUTO GENIUS
NAY VISIT BOISE
Charles Nash, President Nash
Motor Car Company Expects
to Honor City With His Pres
ence for Day or Two.

Boise is expected to have the honor
Of entertaining shortly one of the pio-
neers in the automobile manufacturing
world, Charles Nash, president of the
Nash Motor Car company, kenosha.
Wis, who is due to arrive in Salt Lake
City the morning of March 80 on trip
embracing the principal cities of the
northwest.
Mr.. Nash entered the auto building
game when 1t was in it's infancy. He
saw the cars grow in popularity, and
introduced improvement after improve
ment of his own invention. He Witness
ed the tremendous growth of the bust
ness from few small buildings max
ing an uncertain quantity of cars to
acres of modern manufacturing plants
turning out hundreds of guaranteed au-
tomobiles daily. He was one of the
first to foresee the great future of the
auto when the first two-cylnder ma
chimes came on the market, and de-
spite the laughs of his incredulous
friends, predicted that the day was not
far distant when automobiles would be
nearly as staple as sugar.
And he was right-the business acu-
men that has characterized his meteor
like rise in the commercial world
grasped the future of automobiles
quicker than other minds, and today,
he stands as one of the most progress
sive and well known men in the auto
mobile world.
The great plant of the Jeffrey people
appealed to him. He saw within its
walls an opportunity Of a life time
he visualized, with the aid of refine
ments and improvements believed nee
essary to his way of thinking, one of
the worlds greatest cars. He took
over the plant. and the wonderful Nash
car that purrs smoothly over mountain
road or city pavement is the result.
Mr.. Nash will be entertained Sunday
and Monday by Utah dealers and rep
resentatives of the Pacific Nash Motor
Car company at a large banquet given
in his honor Monday night. He will
then depart for the coast and visit
Boise, if possible, on his return trip
east.
Today the Nash factory produces
more cars than ever before, there is
larger demand for the product Of the
Nash factories than was even antici-
pated and prospects in this territory
will be about double the order given by
A. E. Wilson, Boise dealer, for cars.
Mr.. Wilson saw n great opening in
the Boise field for the Nash car and
Immediately took over the agency He

SATURAT|ON POINT
SOON FADED AWAY

where are the wiseacres now who,
with fancied facts and masses of fig
ures, told the world that the automo-
bile industry had reached a point of
saturation and was about to have its
large production clothes made over in
to a smaller siZe?" asks G. f.. Cranston
local distributor of Studebaker cars. 81
haven't heard from one Of them lately
They are strangely silent, with a ST.
lence that is significant There's no
such thing as a 'saturation point in
this business. As long as there is work
to be done, as long as folks must get
from one place to another quickly, com
fortably and economically-and as long
as human beings continue to enjoy the
pleasures and healthful benefits Of life
out of doors-there'll be a market for
all the motor cars the factories can pro-
duce.
There's tremendous demand now
for all motor cars. Business never was
so good as it is now-and with the reg
ular selling season still to come. There
has been an increasing demand for au-
tomobles ever since the collapse of the
central powers last November. Since
the first of the year we have broken
all sales records. Selling cars has been
the least of our Misunderstanding them
from the factory in sufficient quantities
to fill the orders on our books has
caused us the only worry we may have
experienced
Although the great Studebaker fac
tories Were back on a peace basis, pro-
ducing the New Studebaker cars in
quantities, 60 days following the sign
ing of the armistice, they have been ut
terly unable to give their dealers
enough cars to meet the demands for
immediate deliveries. Production has
been materially increased each week
since the first of the year, but with
the wonderful national popularity of
the new Studebaker cars stimulating
buying activity, stacks of orders still
remain untitled to await their turn as
each days production is allotted to
dealers by factory officials.
This constantly increasing demand
for new Studebaker cars-for all good
cars-does not come from any one or
two particular localities. 1t is general
from one coast to the other. or
course l am not unmindful of the fact
that the unusually mild winter we are
enjoying is perhaps responsible for a
great many automobile sales now that
would have been made in the spring
anyway. The balmy weather of the
past two months has no doubt stimu-
lated interest in motoring anew and
considerably advanced the regular SELL
ing season. But the fact remains that
the big majority of the new cars sold

Death of Mrs. Frank L. Gench,

Mrs. Frank L. Gench died at her
home in this city Tuesday evening
December 24th, after a prolonged
illness. While her condition had
been serious for long time and her
death was not unexpected, it came as
shock to her many friends in this
city and Rich Hill, where she lived
prior to coming to Butleria few years
ago.
She was born in this county ~
years ago and when a young girl
united with the Methodist church in
the service of which she was always
active until i'll health forced her to
give up her labors. She lived an ear
nest christian life and her passing is
mourned by a host of friends who
knew her as a kind and considerate
and friend. She is survived
by her husband and daughter, Miss
Selma, both of whom were at her
bedside when the call came.
Funeral services were conducted
at the family home by Rev. A. ].

War Insurance Payable Regardless
Of Dependency.

Washington, D. C., Dec. 27.-Sec-
rotary Glass issued statement yes
terday to correct the misunderstand-
ing that seems to prevail among rel
atives and beneficiaries of men in
the military service as to their rights
under the War Risk insurance act.
Many mothers and fathers" he
says, named as beneficiaries of the
Government insurance applied for by
their sons, have gained the impress
sion that they must prove depend
ency in order to receive payments of
insurance. This is an entirely erron-
eous impression, probably due to a
confusion of the insurance and COM
pensation provisions of the act of
Congress October E, 1917, and to a
mistaken assumption that the term
insurance and compensation are
used Interchangeable, whereas they
represent two entirely separate and
distinct benefits. Insurance is pay
able regardless of any dependency.
" Compensation however which
is separate and apart from insurance
and takes the place of the pensions
provided under the old pension sys-
tenn, is payable only to a wife, child.
dependent mother or dependent faith
er of a man who is disabled or dies
as result of injury suffered or dis
east contracted in the line of duty
while employed in the active service.
Compensation may be payable in adj
dition to insurance"

Mrs. Louella Thomas Dead.

Mrs. Louella Thomas died at her
home few miles east of this city
December 81, 1918, after an illness OF
several weeks. While she had been
sick for some time her condition was
not considered serious until a few
hours before her death.
Louella Martin was born in
Kirksville,. this state, June 8, 1867,
and moved to this city when youn {
girl. In April 1883 she was united
in marriage to R. ]. Thomas, who

wages OF men per month with boar,
is SIS, without board $4s. Average
wages per day for harvest work with
board was Sass, and without boart
$40. The wage for other than har
vest labor was $I.oo with board and
$268 without board. In some coun-
ties the day wages and monthly hire
ran much higher than the state aver
age.
The apple crop upon farms was
very disappointing, and exceedingly
poor in quality, while that Of the
commercial orchards was much bet
ter and brought high prices. About
80 per cent was shipped out of the
county in which produced.
Due to the pressure to produce
grain crops, the hay lands of the
state are reduced nearly 10 per cent.
and blue grass pastures reduced 10
per cent. In the northern third of
the state the reduction is as high as
IS per cent, showing the great effort
to meet wartime demands in food.
Contrary to the movement to reduce
hay acreages, alfalfa shcws a decided
tendency to increase. The alfalfa
acreage this year is nearly 50 per
cent more than in 1910, and S per
cent more than 1917, the heaviest
grains in counties along the rivers
and nearby uplands.
General farming conditions are
good. Fall blowing on December
Ist, was "a per cent completed, and
in the northern half 90 per cent.
While labor and machinery have
been short. weather and soil condi
tons have been abnormally favor
able.
Corn gathering is two-thrds COM

three-fourths is cribbcd due to good
weather, hard work and prompt ma
turity Yields are not up to earlier
expectations. but the quality is well
above last year especially in our
northern sections.

ing kept in camp owing 70 the de-
partments policy Of first demobiIiz-
ing non-combatarit organizations.
An order issued before Christmas
stated that only in Urgent eases
should men in the division be dis
charged. That order, General March,
said, referred to the present only.
It was given with the idea in mind 81
preventing wholesale discharges dur
ing the holiday season. s
General Pershing has assigned to-
early convoy total Of 6,82I officers
and I6S,23o men, General March
stated. This number includes those
that already have reached these
shores. The number Of men as
signed for early discharge in the
United States, the chief of staff re- !
ported, is now $1,000, or an increase
of $4,000 over the number announced !
week ago. Thus the total, both !

over certain sectors that had been
held by the Americans in France

Questioned as to casualties in the

March said up to November Is, the
18th had asked for requirements for

ate the exact number of casualties
could be regarded as a good indi-
alton of the losses, General March

That the wheat sowed in Missouri
for the 1910 harvest is 4,245,ooo acres
or 80 per cent increase, the corn r,.p
1880 bushels, and wheat produ =
ton 52.2s8,oOo bushels, is the De-
cember report on final acreages and
yields announced here today by Field
agent T.. A. Logan and Secretary
Jewell Mayes of the U. S. Depart
ment and State Board of Agricul-
ture.
The wheat crop for Missouri for
1918 is 3.I2o,ooo acres, at II bushels
per acre. producing 52,2s8,ooo BUSH
els. Corn for 1918 finally shows to
be O.603,oo0 acres. at 20 bushels aver
age. totaling I33,86o,ooo bushels.
The wheat seeded this fall is A.
$4,000 acres against 2,o3s,ooo one
year ago. an increase of 1890 600
acres (36 per cent? over 1917, and
aearly double the 100000 acres
sown in 1916.
The Investigations on 27,4oo farms
(0r nearly 10 per cent of the state)
indicate large increase in the seed
ed wheat acreage in every county
possibly excepting St. Louis County
where increase was heavy in 1917.
Even in counties where wheat was
largely grown in past years, the acre
age exceeded the official quota asked
bv the federal government. Seed
ing has continued into the winter,
and fall blowing continued to the
middle Of December.
Condition of wheat at this time is

outlook. The weather has been
warm with plenty of moisture, and
the plant has made a wonderful
