UNCLE SAM LIBERAL TO

Uncle Sam pays his soldiers better than any country in the world. But the government doesn't stop there. It provides for the dependents of soldiers on scale of generosity unknown in the history of the world In fact, Un- dependents so we'll that it is actually advantageous from financial point of view for men in certain circum- stances to join the army. This is shown by the matter of allowances. Take the case of man who has a wife and one child, dependant moth CT, father-in-law and grand mlother-in- law, but who is not a skilled worker and in private life probably does not earn more than $3 a day. or s72 a month.

THE ". U. AND ITS OPERATORS

The Western Union refused to sub init to the Jurisdiction of the war board which sought to compose the differences between the company and its operators, and now the operators threaten to go on strike. Both are wrong. The company seems to be try ing to enforce government control. If the government takes over the telegraph lines, it should take over all means of wire communication. And if it does. let's hope it will retain them after the war. Maybe, the heads of the Western Union will get more government control than they are playing for at this time.

WHOA! CRUDE OIL

The gentle art of 'boosting the price of crude oil has hit snag merely because the fuel administra- tion isn't inclined to let somebody or some concerns raid the pockets of the auto joyriders while they are not looking.
 Director Requia's letter to A. c. Bed ford, chairman of the petroleum war service committee, goes into the glst of the situation when it says that in many lines bidding ur the price will not produce single additional pound of material, Such price advances can not be permitted by the government if we are to eliminate profiteering and maintain fair and reasonable prices. The oil division. therefore, be- lieves there is no justification for an advance in the price of crude oil at this time and will expect the industry to cooperate with the oil division in an endeavor to maintain existing prices as maximum prices.
 The towns auto operators must like that fuel administration. even if the producers of the crude products don't ---W. s s.

The savings by purchasing for the soldiers family in the government commissary depends upon the prox- imity of his family to the commissary and the number of his immediate fam fly. It is not permissible for him to purchase for any person who does not eat at his own board.
 In addition to the above, the soldier may insure for any amount between $100000 and $10,0O0.OO in crements of $5O000 at cost of 64c per month for age 20; 66c per month for age 25; 69c per month for age 30; and 81c per month for age 40. In case of his death the insurance is paid in month, ly installments for 20 years at the rate of $5.75 per thousand dollars of insurance. In case of disability pay. ment is made montly at the same rate during the life of the insured. If he dies before 20 years expire payments for the balance of the 20 years go to his heirs. If he lives 50 years the payments continue until he is dead. Nc soldier can claim more than $50 per month in family allowance. Family allowance does not apply to officers.
