Pass Snow Banks.

Pass Snow Banks.
AS the car climbs higher summer is
left behind and even in July and Au-
gust one passes snow banks before
reaching the top. A restaurant has
been built at point on the road some
1000 feet above sea level, where the
motorist may rest and obtain food and
refreshment. Watering stations are
established at intervals.
Pixies Peak is in the Pike national
forest, and the road was built by
private company under permit from
the secretary of agriculture. A toll is
charged, the amount of which had to
meet the approval of the secretary
beforesa permit was issued. 1t is not
the policy of the government to sane
ton the construction of toll roads in
the national forests, but since neither
state nor government funds were
available for this much-needed devel-
opment of the Pike forests scenic re-
sources, an exception was made in this
particular case.
Many Acres of Land.
Besides the highway, tile Pike ma
tional forests holds in it's 1,323,000
acres Of mountain land unlimited. at
fractions for motorists and campers.
Roads built by the counties or by
the forest service carry one through
valleys bordered by snOw-capped
peaks, or through canyons with tower
ing walls of many-colored rock, to
shady camping places beside cool
mountain streams, where the lover of
nature, the fisherman, or the mountain
climber may find that form of reerea-
ton which he desires most. One of
the commonest sights today in the ma
tional forests in Colorado is motor
car with a tent and camping outfit
strapped to the footboard. Whole fam
lilies take this means of leaving be-
hind them the heat of city or plain
and the cares of everyday life.

SAVE 16,oo0,0oo BUSHELS OF WHEAT THAT FORMERLY
 WAS LOST IN THRESHING
Farmers, Urged by Food AdminIstra. ton, Provide Seven Extra Loaves
 of Bread for Every American.

By adopting cleaner threshing meth ods and by literally combing harvest fields to gather grain formerly vast ed, threshermen and farmers of the United States this year saved fully 16000,000 bushels of wheat, estimated as equivalent to about seven one-pound loaves of bread for every person in the country. This result, accompanied by corresponding savings of barley. oats, rye and other grains, Is shown by reports from 33 grain states to the U. 5. Food Administration. Other states, although not prepared to furnish defi- mite figures of conservation in the grain fields, report greatly reduced harvest losses.
 This rural food saving achievement, accomplished in scarcely six months time, was-in direct response to re- quests by the. Food Administration, which asked farmers and thresherlnen to reduce harvest losses from about 3H per cent.-the estimated average in normal times-to the lowest possi- ble minimum. Country grain thresh- ing committees carried into every grain growing community the official recommendations for accomplishing the results desired.
 In numerous instances drivers of racks with leaky bottoms were sent from the fields to repair their equip ment and frequently bad order thresh- ing machines were stopped until the cause of waste was removed. But in proportion to the number of persons engaged in gathering the nations grain crop, cases of compulsion were com paratively rare The Food Admins traitor freely attributes the success of the grain threshing campaign to pa triotic service by farmers, thresher- men and their crews. Incidentally grain growers of the United States are many millions of dollars "in pocket" as a result of the grain saved

That part of Arizona in the 18th Federal District got together and made the splendid total of $9, 526. $50. This shows a splendid spirit of cooperation and demonstrates very effectively that Arizona will always occupy a place in the lead.
 This note is to let you know just how we'll you, and other workers. succeeded. and to as- sure you that the officers for the State, the officials at San Fran cisco headquarters, and also the officials in Washington appre- ciate the efforts made by you and your friends. You, in turn, will thank those who made pos sible such a splendid showing.
 We are advised by Washing ton that at least one more loan will be necessary. The task will not be easy. but like every other undertaking. it will be accom- plished by the people of Arizona in such way as to again add credit to our record.
 The next Loan, a Victory Loan as we'll as being a Peace Loan will call for great effort both collectively and individually, and we know that you will, soon af- ter the advent of the new year, begin to plan those methods by which you will again attain the wonderful successes which have been secured before.
 I want you to write and tell me about the work in your Dis trict. Let me know how we can help you and your friends. Keep always in mind that the Liberty Bond provides every thing necessary to make the world a better place in which to live.
 This is. indeed, the greatest Christmas the world has eyer seen. May it be full of happi- ness for you and yours, and may the New Year be rich in all things that make life worth while. Yours very truly.
