CENSUS PLUM CAKE.

The 1920 Census Bill provides for
a staff of $4,000 employees to take

policy of the administration with re-
spect to partisan appointments they
will all be Democrats. This is added
evidence that the army will be re-
cruited from the ranks of the Repub-
licans. The party out of power and
spurned by the President is the party
which has made possible this draft
law and which is furnishing by far
the greater percentage of the fight

SOLDIERS OUGHT TO INSURE.


Congress has enacted what is know
as the War Insurance Law which pro-
vides, for small sum, a. war risk I'D
to limit of $4,000 and every soldier
and sailor should carry this insurance.
The cost is so small that it never
would be missed from the monthly
pay.
Under this law, every soldier now
in the services, commissioned, enlisted
or drafted, no matter what his age,
has the right between now and April
IL, 1918, to take out life and total
disability insurance up to $4,000 at
low cost, and, what is very important,
without medical examination. Those
hereafter enlisted or drafted may
take out War Risk Insurance within
120 days after enlistment.
In case of the soldiers death. each
$1,000 of War Risk Insurance will pay
his beneficiary 1915 per month for
twenty years. War Risk Insurance
holds good after the war.
This is great opportunity and all
friends and relatives of colored SOL
dlers should write and urge them to
insure now before it is too late.
