CENSUS PLUM CAKE.

The 1920 Census Bill provides for
a staff of $4,000 employees to take
the census. Conforming to the
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
ing force. Milton has a verse ION
His Blindness" which may be aptly
applied to both parties:
To the Republicans
thousands at his bidding speed,
And post DER land and ocean with
out rest
And as to Democrats
They also serve who only stand and
wait"
Except that the Republicans wait
for the ships, whilst the famished
Democrats wait at the political pic
counter. Safe for Democrats!

SOLDIERS OUGHT TO INSURE.

Congress has enacted what is know
as the War Insurance Law which pro-
Vldes, for a small sum, a war risk up
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 NAV
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 $5.75 per month for
twenty years. War Risk Insurance
holds good after the war.
This is a great opportunity and all
friends and relatives of colored SOL
