About War Insurance

Any man or woman of any age in
the active military or naval service
of the United States can obtain Gov
eminent insurance. 1t has been ruled
that members of Officers Training
Camps are under the act and can OBJ
tain insurance. The cost for each
thousand dollars of insurance is from
sixty-five cents a month to persons at
the age of twenty-one to one dollar
and twenty cents month to those of
the age of fifty-one. The benefciaries
are limited to wife, husband, child,
grandchild brother or sister, STEP
brother or stepsister, adopted brother
or adopted sister of the insured, as
well as parent, grandparent, or STEP
parent either of the insured or of his
or her consort. The insurance is not
compulsory, but the cost is low and the
protection great, and not only are all
persons eligible afforded every oppor-
tunity to obtain this insurance with
out trouble or extra expense but they
are specially urged to do so. Gen.
Pershing and thousands of other of
ficers and tens of thousands of SOL
diers have already taken out insur-
ance aggregating $1,032, 93S, 900.

ted having taken $4,000 from the
state treasury.
In seeking Allen's release his coun-
sci are building their case upon an al
legged violation of section 1886 of the
revised codes. They claim that Judge
Bryan came from the Ninth judicial
district into the Third judicial district,
upon the invitation of John NJ. Haines,
who was then governor, to hear Allen
plead guilty and sentence him. They
assert that both judges of the Third
district were in Ada county at the
time, although neither was holding
court.
Section 1886 reads: "a district
judge may hold court in any county
in this state upon the request of the
judge of the district in which such
court is to be held; and when by rea-
son of sickness or absence from the
state, or from any other cause, court
cannot be held in any county in any
district by the judge thereof, certifi-
cate of that fact must be transmitted
by the clerk to the governor, who may
thereupon direct some other district
judge to hold such court"

ENDORSED AT HOME
Such Proof as This Should Convince
Any Emmett Citizen

The public endorsement of local
citizen is the best proof that can be
produced. None better, more stronger
can be had. When a man comes for
ward and testifies to his fellow-citi-
zens, addresses his friends and neigh
bors, you may be sure he is thorough
ly convinced or he would not do so.
Telling ones experience when it is for
the public good is an act of Kindness
that should be appreciated. The fol-
lowing statement given by a resident
of Emmett adds one more to the many
cases of Home Endorsement which

THURSTON MEET
TO BE Held IN
PUNAHOU TANK

Especial Star Bulletin CorresuOndsnesI
OAHU COLLEGE, March 10.--The
swimming meet for the Thurston
medals will be held in the Puma
hou tank during the third week OF
April. This meet is for both boys and
girls: II IS open to the students OF
both the Preparatory school and the
Academy.
Last year, through the kindness and
interest Of Mr.. Lorrin Thurston, eight
handsome medals were awarded the
Punahou swimmers. These medals are
the standard Punahou minor sports
medals, bearing on the front side the
seal and name OF the college, and on
the reverse the name OF the winner,
the name Of the event, and the record
made.
The swimmers are divided into two
classes-those who compete for the
open championship and those who
compete for the novice championship.
A novice is regarded as one who has
never taken part In an official swim
ming meet in school or out
For the open championship of both
boys and girls a silver medal is first
prize and a bronze medal is second.
For the novice championship, boys
and girls, the first prize is a large
bronze medal; the second prize is
small bronze medal Ribbons win be
awarded all point winners and the
contest win be conducted as an inter-
company affair.
The third week in April has been
chosen as the time because it is un.
derstood that the Yale interscholastic
swimming meet will be held during
the second week in April.
The events OF the Thurston meet are
as follows: 59yard swim, 10o-yard
swim, 50-yard back stroke, plunge for
distance, diving. Each boy will com.
pete in all five events.

But the scoring table has been
