Uncle Sam May Absorb All

surance is sold on the peace-tlme risk
basis, the extra hazards Of war being
assumed by the goternment aud
charged up to war expense. The men
are not taxed for the war risk.
This insurance carries full payment
in case Of total disability as we'll as
death immunity from creditors, and
payment OF the insurance In monthly
installments with interest.
Tho insurance protection sold 20

founded with tho family allotments
nor the benefits paid 90 wounded OF
disabled men, nor the death payments
made to their families by the Govern
ment They get these whether they
take insurance or not They arc
equivalent Of the eld-fashloned pension

Tbs insurance is additional and is
granted on the theory that as the men
could have purchased il in private life
in peace time. the Government should
make up TO them this opportunity for

Several "a ago. Kelly, whose
home Vas in California, went to Okla
homa. While there he was struck
over the head, during a fight. a large
section of his skull being crushed.
After a long term in a hospital he
was released, a hopeless cripple and
sent to a county poor farm. There
Mrs. A. T.. Funk, an Oklahoma
philanthropist found hin and sent
him to- a local hospital. paying all his
expenses.
The crushed portion of Kelly's skull
was removed and a %celluloid plate in
serted. A second operation removed
the effects of the paralysis caused by
pressure on the brain.
Recently Kelly was released from
the hospital; and within a short time
expects to return to Oklahoma where
he will enter the employ Of Mrs.
Funk.
A search is being made for his rela-
tives. Kelly believes he has a wife
and daughter living. but his clearing

LEAD DOG ON TEAM
THAT BROUGHT>FAME
TO HARTMAN, DEAD

st. Paul, Mimi, Jan. 24-Sandy, the
big Leaf dog of Fred Hartman's team,
which furnished all the thrills in the
Winnipeg to st. Paul dog derby last
yea under the auspices Of the st.
Paul Outdoor Sports Carnival %associa-
ton. died recently as the result of a
jump from a baggage car while he
was being shipped from st. Paul to
clearwater.
Sandy's history before he sprang
into the limelight rs Hartman's lead
dog is not known. Until that time he
was only one of the many huskies in
the northland.
Hartman. an unknown entry in the
dog derby, not picked as a serious
contender against the more widely
known racers, me- with misfortune at
the outset of the race. Sandy had
been used as a lead dog the previous
winter, but Hartman put him back in
the team. h race had scarcely start
ed when under the lead of Sandy the
team attacked the lead dog and killed
him. Sandy was then placed in the
lead. -t'
1t was his work, according to Hart
mans statement after the race, which
made possible the. game fight of the
popular hero of the derby, who trav-
eled practically day and night, most
of h time with only four dogs, and
Sandy doing the lions share of the
work.
Hartman gave the dog to a friend
here but Sandy's disposition soured
in the city, and he was being shipped
to a farm when an open baggage car
door tempted him to try for his free
dom.
