People have come from all parts of the city to congratulate us on the kind of paper we are putting out. They are back of us 100 per cent they say, and offer their subscriptions without asking any premium at all. Nevertheless, the offer of a premium is still continued, and every new subscriber, or every person who renews his subscription may take his choice of ANY GIFT IN SEARS STORE in Provo, up to the value of $1, or of a FAMILY TICKET AT THE PROVO THEATER for any show there on Saturday or Sunday during July. Two reasons exist for these PREMIUM offers. First, it offers a wide variety of choice to our readers, who can select what they want more readily than if we purchased hundreds of dollars worth of one kind of premium. it keeps the business at home, and is part of the BOOST PROVO campaign sponsored by the Boosters Club of this city. We are back of this club 100 per cent, and offer the readers of this paper an opportunity to help build Provo by subscribing to this paper and at the same time benefit themselves with real bargains. One subscriber took both offers. His wife got the Sears deal, by paying $2 for the Utah Valley News for one year. At the same time the husband paid another $2 and got a family ticket to the Provo theater, and the whole family had a treat. He left by saying this: I would subscribe whether you had a premium or not. Your paper is doing a fine job, and if you need more money call on me. These choices of premiums are good during July. Dont delay however, as the theater ticket is good at any show during the month, or you can obtain your gift at SEARS any time during July. SUx-on- On our tours thus far we have had occasion to visit five of the fineet and largest valleys of central Mexico as well aa the West Coast ebuntry. Everywhere there la considerable agricultural activity and the crops are loklng well. Peace seems to reign In these high and luacioua valleys. We visited the country surrounding Gsudslajara, Pueblo, Taxco and Cuernavaeo, Tuluco, and Mexico. We have heard no notea of unrest sinee we left the train. Of course, Mexico la having financial troubles, but she Ie not alone in that. The artlaana oP the hinterland are eagerly at work preparing handicrafts for the towrtot trade. Many people feel that it waa regretable that American news paper made so much of the recent difflcultlee which really amounted to very little, if many reports I have heard here are tq be relied upon.

Possessed of a paat that la unusually Intriguing and of A strange yet courteous and kindly people, It is a nation with which we should become acquainted. Last evening we went to the national Theatre to see an exMexican travaganza depicting history. rThcugh we could not understand the words our eyes and ears were made to rejoice. ht Objectives and accomplishments of the L.

The play had many dances In It during the course of the evening. Each was beautifully staged anil costumed In a refined and pleasing manner. Our etay here la nearing Its conclusion. Each day has revealed new Interests and new beauties. Mexico haa many problems ahead but the people are preparing to meet problems. Their present president, of course, is not liked by everybody, but he la doing some most Interesting things. Aa a result the smiling face of his great country has been notably lifted since I was here In 1935. My hope la that a strong central government can keep the country continually on the up grade aa It la now.

Publicity Misinterpreted Flan Unfortunate publicity had been given from the otart regarding tha Church plana, declared Mr. Watklna, largely through a misunderstanding of what waa aald or through a failure on the part of tho speakers to Interpret tho movement correctly, tho report going out that tha Church would tako all members off tho government relief rolls. Aa a matter of fact, many thousands had bean KEPT off, but fow had bon taken off, tho lists actually growing during tho present recession. So far aa relief rolls were concerned, the objective wu to gtv an honest days work for a days par.
