SOLDIER AND SAILOR
INSURANCE

III HE business of insuring
VI our soldiers and sailors is
scarcely a year old, and
yet we have written more than
$50, 900, 100000 of insurance
'insuring approximately three
and a half million of soldiers
and sailors. This gigantic bus
mess, employing 10000 indi-
viduals and doing a greater
business than the largest insur-
ance company of the world,
has all been organized in less
than IL months. OF late the
bureau has been doing more
than a billion dollar a week
business; the total for the
month of August will approxi-
mate SIS, ,00O,O0O,00O in new in
surance. On one day 92,253
pieces of mail came to the bu-
reau.
1t is a great work, an intri-
cate work, a work that every
American approves of. More
than 80 per cent of the men,
bers of our military and naval
forces are insured, and this in
surance has strengthened the
morale of our fighting men and
brought comfort and courage
to their dependents at home.
In addition to the insurance
there are added soldiers and
sailor family allotments and
government allowances to de-
pendents, the disbursement of
allotments and allowances al
ready totaling more than $140,-
100000.

CharIea j, Fisk.

Judge Charles J. Fisk, candidate
for Judge of the supreme court, is en-
dorsed both by the Democrats and In
dependent Voters association. He
was born and reared on farm in
Whiteside county, ILL.,, and educated
in the common schools and Northern
Illinois college. He located at Lari-
more in the spring of 1886, where he
became associated with the late Will
liam H. Fellows in the practice Of
law. He removed to Grand Forks in
1889, where he became associated
with the late Judge John M. Coch-
rane, and later with Tracy R. and
George A. Bangs. He was elevated
to the district bench Of the First jul
dicial district where he served from
1897 to 1907, when he was elected as
a member Of the supreme bench. He
was again elected in 1910, and served
until January l, 1917. On his retire
ment from the bench, he, with the
late Henry J. Linde and Hon. Francis
Murphy, under the firm name of
Fisk, Murphy & Linde, opened Of
fees both at Bismarck and Minot. In
1917, he located at Minot where the
firm name Of Fisk & Murphy enjoys
an extensive law practice. 1t was
only through the earnest solicitation
Of many friends and citizens that he
consented to again become a candi-
date for reelection. His record on
the bench speaks for itself. While
Judge Fisk has always affiliated with
the Democratic party he has each
time he has been candidate, re-
ceived the loyal support of the cleo
torate Of, all parties regardless Of
party affiliations, which is sufficient
guaranty Of his superior quallfca-
tions for judicial office.
