Aid For Small Home Owners
The mortgage loans made by the
bank will be on terms similal to those
made by the Federal Land bank. That
is, the interest will be low and pro-
vision will be made whereby the loan
can be repaid, together with the in
terest, in regular payments. The Fed
eral Reserve Bank, for instance, will
loan $4,000 at five and one half per
cent interest for 35 years, and the
borrower pays both the interest ane
the principal in that time with semi
annual installments Of $162.5O. Tn,

would-be home owner, in the town as
we'll as to farmers. This feature, to-
gether with the shifting of taxes
from improvements to land values,
will soon make home owing cheaper
than home renting in North Dakota,
something which will not be true Of
any other state in the Union.

Letter From Son In France
Convalescent Camp, France.
Sunday, Nov. 24th.

This will be the first time I have
written to you since I came to France
because I knew it was no use ia
write to you as I didn't think you
would answer the letters yourself any
way so I have always addressed the
letters to mother as I knew she would
be the one that would answer them
but this one you will have to answer
yourself as it is Daddy's Christmas
letter and nobody else can answer it.
Well, I have been getting along
fairly we'll through this war s~d
have been very lucky and now when
it is over I have good hopes of being
home by spring and help put. in the
crop. sure would like to be home by
Christmas but there is no chance SO
I will spend it in France with the
French people,. ~
/ am now in convalescent camp,
that is camp twhere they keep the
soldiers for awhile after they have
been in the hospital, and have been
here now for a month, have tried to
get back to my company but am still
here. I am in Class A so may have
a chance to join my company and go
back with them when that time comes.
I have never been wounded and this
is the first time I have been in the
hospital since coming to France and
now feel as good as ever, did not get
enough gas to hurt me very much,
