V-MAIL USE URGED

The Army and Navy are asking
all civilians to make greater use of
V-Mail in writing to, service men
this year as a direct help in con-
serving critically needed transport
space and as means to providing
fighting men with more frequent
and faster communication from
home, Great stress is placed by
military officials on the value to
soldiers and sailors of frequent let
tiers, which is more possible by the
use of V-Mail. The fact that there
are more men overseas disalloWs of
the consistent sending of regular
mail by airplane and this type of
mail is frequently held up for lack
of space, the military authorities
say The V-mail filming process
assures correspondents of privacy
of contents, military postal officials
point out.

 A. Yes.

 A. You have to go out and inspect the land before maxim: application for the homestead. Each application must be accompanied by a sworn statement that the applicant has in- Spected the land sought, and is per- sonally familiar with its character iStics.
 o. Can you do anything you want, such as farming, mining, etc., on a
