WILSON TO JOIN IN PEACE PAR.
LEYS DEC. is.

London-F resident Wilson is ex-
pected to meet statesmen of the allied
countries for the first time at the pre-
liminary peace conference to be held
in Paris week after next, the delegates
assembling on or about Dec. 16.
Paris will certainly be the place of
the peace conference 1t is expected
that it will meet formally about the
end of January. The constitution OF
the conference presents obvious diff
ficulties. Composition of the British
delegation will, of course, be influence
ed by the result of the general cleo
ton. In any event the coalition del
egates will probably be Lloyd George
Bonar Law, Mr.. Balfour and George
Barnes, who will be accompanied by
panels of expert advisers on military
economic, transport and other ques-
tions relating to world reconstruction
which will all be examined.
AS to the new states in Europe
their formation, with the aid of the al
lies, was bound to raise at once a
problem calling for amicable solu-
ton.

RETURN OF PEACE MEANS
OLD CHRISTMAS CUSTOMS.


With the signing of peace terms,
the ban on Christmas shopping was
removed and all are allowed to buy
as much Merry Christmas" for
friends and family as the purse Will
permit. 1t was expected that Christ
mas shopping would be under real
war conditions and necessarily light
but now that the Hun has been con-
quered end peace is only a question
OF what the allies want to name,
many restrictions have been removed
and all will be allowed to spend their
earnings much as they see fit. For
this reason we recommend a return
as near as possible to old Yuletide
conditions. In Grant county there
never was a time more prosperous.
Prices of milk and other farm pro
ducts were never better and as the
calls for war work and war debts
will be fewer and less exacting. you
are in shape to crafty your wishes
to be liberal in your Christmas cheer.
Keep in touch with the advertisements
in the Herald. They are invitations
and hints to the liberal spender. The
man who advertises has the goods
and appreciates your patronage. He
is the man with whom you will find it
to your advantage to spend your
money.

CONTINUE INSURANCE
Government Urges Soldiers Not
to Drop Risk.
CAN BE CARRIED S YEARS.
Uncle Sam VIII continue Life Insur-
ance Department for Benefit
OF Boys.
CAN BE CARRIED 5 YEARS.

Washington-As soldiers are de-
modified effort will be made to i'm
press on them the desirability of their
continuing payments on their govern
ment voluntary life insurance which
can be maintained for five years af-
ter peace even though the soldier has
returned to civil life. This will be
done by insurance agencies in the
army, working together with the au-
thorities of the treasury's war risk
insurance bureau.
Secretary McAdoo in a statement
has urged soldiers to retain their in
surance to protect their families and
co retain the right to convert this in
to other forms to be provided by the
government. An additional reason,
it is, said, is the treasury's desire to
make of the soldiers and sailors in
surance demonstration that govern
ment life insurance is successful and
can be extended.
Il desire to remind all American
soldiers and sailors" said Mr. Nc
Adoo's statement, "that it is their OPP
portunity and their privilege to keep
up their insurance with the United
States government, after the war has
IAiCA0AAJ anu GNGA dLLCI
they have returned to civil life.
I'm its present form this insurance
is annual, renewable term insurance
at net peace rates, issued against
death and total permanent disability.
Under the provision of the war risk
Insurance act every person holding
this insurance may keep it up in this
form even after he leaves the service,
for period of five years All that is
necessary is the regular payment of
premiums.
Moreover, the law provides that
not later than five years after the ter
mination of the war, as declared by
presidential. proclamation, the term
insurance shall be converted, without
medical examination, into such form
or forms of insurance as may be pre-
scribed by regulations and as the in
sured may requests This insurance
will continue to be government insur-
ance.
1.-THE advantage of keeping this in
surance in force cannot be empha-
sized too strongly. The right to con
tinue it is valuable right given by
the government to our fighting men
as compensation for their services. If
this right is lost by allowing insur-
ance to lapse the holder cannot again
obtain insurance, except from private
companies at a considerable increase
in cost. Moreover, many of the men
may have become uninsurable as a
result of the war through physical
impairment, and if these allow their
insurance to lapse they will lose the
last opportunity for their family tc
have the protection of life insurance

HOW TO MAKE FLU MASK.
Sanitary Rules Must Be Observed in
Using Protectors.

Flu masks should be made as fol-
lows, or as nearly as possible oecord-
ing to requirements.
The mask is made from butter
cloth, cut nine inches on the selvidge
by one-half the width of the gauze.
Fold lengthwise three times, stitch
all to conform to the face and sew
four tapes, one on each corner. to tie
with.
Z The mask should be firmly fasten-
ed, the two top tapes tie above the
ears at the back of the head and the
two lower tapes tie at the back of the
neck.
Black thread should mark the out
side of the mask as well as at the top.
Extreme caution should be used not
to turn the mask inside out. IT
should always be worn in the same
position.
The mask should be boiled thor
oughly at least once day. IF butter
cloth cannot be obtained, a light
weight muslin, India linen, thorough
ly cleaned -four sacking or even
handkerchiefs may be substituted. if
they are sufficiently thick.
At least eight thicknesses OF coarse
mesh gauze should be used. but this
it not so satisfactory as other mater
ials. Any material should be suffi-a
GENTLY heavy that the breath cannot
be easily blown through it.

BOND ISSUE IN APRIL
People Will Again Be Called
Upon to Assist Uncle Sam.
FIVE BILLION REQUIRED.
War Is Now Costing the Government
About Two Million Dollars
A Month.
FIVE BILLION REQUIRED.

Washington-Notice that the coun-
try must prepare for another intens-
I've war loan campaign, probably in
the latter part of April, has been an
nounced by Secretary McAdoo in a
letter to bankers explaining the
treasury's program for floating GER
tificates of Indebtedness and bonds
during the next six months.
The secretary stated that plans for
continuous sale of government bonds,
recently discussed as strong pos
sibility, has been abandoned. and that
plans should be made for 'one more
great popular campaign" Previous
ly he had announced that the bonds
to be offered then would be of short
maturlty-less than ten years and
it has been indicated that the amount
would be around $5,000,O00,O00
Although Mr.. McAdoo did not state
the time OF the campaign, it was
learned the treasury plans tentative
ly to hold it the last three weeks in
April.
Blocks of treasury certificates of
Indebtedness ranging between $780,
100000 and $750,000,000 will be mar
keted every two weeks, beginning ON
December 9Th, to provide funds for
running the government until pay
ments from the fifth war loan begin
to come in, and these payments will
be used to pay off the certificates.
Every bank will be expected to sub
scribe per cent of its gross re-
sources monthly to these certificates.
The first issue of $60O,O0O,00O mini
mum announced may be subscribed
between December and December
10, will mature next May and will
bear interest at the rate of Az per
cent This rate is not considered as
offering any indication of the inter-
est to be borne by the fifth war loan
Mr.. McAdoo also disclosed that the
governments expense for November
will probably run to new high rec
ord of $4,000, 100000 and that "the
wise policy of prompt liquidation Of
contracts" may increase rather than
lower the governments outlays.
