I was quite happy as MORTGAGE DEBTS well as- surprised to hear from you because the occasions are very rare that I hear from any one from home besides my own family. There isnt very much that I can say at present. Althougtt I can say I Look part in the initial landing at Bmperess Augusts Bay on Bouga.uiville. You no doubt read about it in the papers and are more acquainted with some of the facts of the landing than I am. I receive .the paper occasionally. Just awhile back I received about ten copies gll at once. They had probably been held up some place. I enjoy reading the paper and like to hear about what some of my old friends are doing, and enjoy their letters in the paper. I quite agree with Fay Kennedy aoout the native women. I have seen quite a few different species in my travels and they are most all the same as far as I can see.. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the and Gleaners for the bo:; of candy they sent me for Christmas. J am sorry to say that it was spoiled when it got here, as many of the boys packages were, but that didn't make much difference, as long as we knew the people back home were thinking of us.' How is the situation around there? Pretty bad isnt it? How is old South Rich getting along with those this year in basketball? I would like to see a box score printed in 'the paper so I could see who was playing for both teams. Well I guess I had .better bring this to a close.

We had a wonderful time at Mesa, and just before we left there, picked a box of oranges from Tresas sisters orchard. On our way back we got into a storm, and they were slightly frozen, but were still plenty good any "way. They surely do have a wonderful orchard. We came back via Tuscon, El Paso and Carlsbad. While at Carlsbad, N. M., we decided to go through the caverns there and it surely was interesting. Tresa has been talking about them a lot, but I had no idea they were as colorful and as unusual as they were. An elevator shaft runs 750 feet down to the caverns from the surface of the earth, though they can be entered from another natural opening. The elevator saves about an hours walking, when time is a consideration. Thirty-fiv- e miles of underground rooms have been explored, but only seven miles of trails are now open to the public. The floodlighting of the different formations i3 a master piece of electrical illumination. None of the equipment is at any time, yet the lighting is done such a way as to show up the hundreds of stalagmites and stalactites to the best advantage. Some of them which have grown, together, and are called totem poles, are tinted in pinks and yellows. It is estimated by geolog sts that it has taken about sixty mill' on years for nature to carve the deep gorges and make the great deposits which are found there. In the lunch room which is two city blocks wide, three quarters of a mile long, and the ceiling three hundred feet high in places, 1500 people ones time.- And yet can.. be. served this group, would .seem lost in the open apEtces of the room.

Treasury does not recommend farmers pay all mortgage indebtedness before buying war bonds. This answers .the important question concerning how much Utah farmers can safely invest during the Fourth War Loan, according to Clyde C. Edmonds, state agricultural chairman, Utah War Finance Committee. Mr. Edmonds, whe nasked concerning a misunderstanding as to the position of the U. S. Treasury on the question of bond purchases by farm people, wird explaned Washington for a ation. The question arose concerning varying interpretations placed on the Utah Agricultural War Bond Committees consistent .policy that farm families should buy some war bonds even though urged to reduce debts to a safe basis. Some quarters have construed this to mean that debts should be paid off entirely, and that there is no obligation to buy war bonds until all mortgages or other indebtedness against farms and their propery are completely paid. Mr. Edmonds explained he was happy to announce the answer to his telegram definitely states that the Treasury Department does not recommend farm res paying all mortgage indebtedness before buying war bonds. The statement, reduce debts to a safe basis is clarified by the Treasury Department to mean that the payment of delinquencies, second mortgages; extensions, etc., should be cleared up, and the first mortgage should be reduced to a point where farm income, in normal times, would carry the interest and principal payments, said Mr. Edmonds. Rather than reduce indebtedness further than this, farmers should invest their funds in war bonds, as a protection against the exigencies of the future, Mr. Edmonds quoted from the U. S. Treasury telegram. - All of this is in harmony with the understanding which the State Agricultural Committee . has hadt, and letters (have been forwarded to all of the county war bond chairmen throughout the state, clarifying this important question, he added. V . This sticker in cent you have is fighting. Tough? Of course, its tough unless it is a sacrifice youre simply not doing your share ! Make the sacrifice now buy more than the extra $100 Bond your country counts on you for winning the war is worth any sacrifice you make. Besides, you . arent giving, youre lending to Amer ica.LYoull get back every dollar., you invest iii War Bonds, with interest. An extra $100 War Bond now is the minimum for everybody cant we count on you for more ? A PROCLAMATION your window means yeu have bought 4th War lean securities. MM BACK THE ATTACH !
