SOLDIERS RETAIN YOUR LIFE
INSURANCE
To the Soldiers and Sailors of Amer

To the Soldiers and Sailors of Amer
lea:
Approximately four million officers
and men of the Army and Navy are
now insured with the United States
Government for a grand total OF al
most thirty-seven billion dollars.
You owe it to yourself and to your
family to hold on to Uncle Sans in
surance. 1t is the strongest, safest,
and cheapest life insurance ever writ
ten.
For your protection Uncle Sam has
established the greatest life insurance
company in the world-a company as
mighty, as generous, and as demo-
cratic as the United States Govern
ment itself. Just as Uncle Sam pro-
tected you and your loved ones during
the war, so he stands ready to con-
tinue this protection through the days
of readjustment and peace.
The privilege of continuing your
Government insurance is valuable
right given to you as part of the COM
pensation for your heroic and triumph
ant services. If you permit the in
surace to lapse, you lose that right,
and you will never be able to regain it..
But if you keep up your present in
surance-by the regular payment of
premiums-you will be able to change
it into a standard Government policy
without medical examination. Mean
time you can keep up your present in
surance at substantially the same low
rate. The government will write ordi-
nary life insurance, twenty-payment
life, endowment maturing at age 62,
and other usual forms of insurance.
This will be Government insurance =
at Government rates.
The United States Government
through the Bureau of War Risk In
surance of the Treasury Department
will safeguard you and your loved
ones with spirit and purpose of Re-
public grateful to it's gallant defend
ers. To avail yourself of this protec-
tion, you must keep up your present
insurance. Carry back with you to
civil life, as an aid and as asset. the
continued insurance protection of the
United States Government.
Hold on to Uncle Sans insurance.

He is at present engaged in going

1t is interesting to note that it was
Commander Orr's department in the
navy which manufactured, transported
and set up in France the giant 16-
inch guns with a range of 32 miles,
two miles farther than any other in
Europe except the Hun 70-mile gun;

We are willing to allow Tuscalc
county share of the credit which
Commander Orr is entitled to but will
have to claim the major part of it for
Shiawassee because of the fact that
Orr was a resident of this county
when appointed to the naval academy
by Congressman Fordney. We are
not going to be selfish about the mat.

BECOMES COMMANDER
In UNCLE SANS NAVY
Harry A. Orr Attsins High Rank in
U S. Service-He Visits Eng.
land and France.

Commander Harry A. Orr, United
States navy, spent Sunday in Caro-,
coming here to visit his mother, Mrs.
Martha Orr, and other relatives; a
fine figure in officers uniform of navy
blue.
Since declaration of war he has
been promoted from lieutenant COM
mander, and is now near the top,
there being only captain and admiral
of higher rank in the navy. Com
mander Orr is the highest ranking
officer in either army or navy to go
out from Tuscola county and has been
in the service longer than any other of
the home boys. He was Congressman
Fordney's first appointee to the naval
academy at Annapolis about 20 years
ago, since which time he has steadily
climbed up to his present responsible
and honored standing of which Tus-
cola county has just cause to be proud.
Like all officers of the navy, Com
mander Orr is reticent about his own
doings and the various phases of the
conduct of the war. Some interesting
facts are learned from other sources,
however.
At the naval academy he showed
aptitude for gunnery and after gradu-
alton was assigned to the ordnance de-
partment, later becoming government
inspector of optical instruments in a
factory in New York state, and was
engaged in the work of designing and
perfecting such instruments at the
time of our entry into the war. 1t
has since became known that it was
common knowledge in the navy two
or three years ago that we could not
possibly avoid getting into the con-
flict.
The manufacture and use of tele-
scopes, range finders and similar in
struments is an important part of
naval efficiency, and after large ex-
perience at home and with the fleet
in many parts of the world, Comman-
der Orr was sent overseas on obser-
walton duty. He found that we could
show the British some things and
that they could show us some things
in the line of offense and defense
which they had developed within the
last years years of warfare.
Commander Orr.reported to Admir-
al Sims and visited the various ships
of the British and American fleets, saw
many interesting things and was hap
py to be able to demonstrate greater
progress in some instruments than
he found over there. He also made
an inspection tip along the French
coast. The morale among the people
of England and France at that time
was low. They were tired of the hand
ships of war after years of fighting,
and the stimulation of Yankee pep
and Yankee millions of men and mo-
ney was needed to turn the tide, win
the war and made the world safe for
liberty-loving peoples.
81 always thought the United States
was fine place to live, but when I
got back from that trip l knew it,
and you will find all the boys coming
home will say the same thing. The
common people over there have a
standard. of living and a lack of op-
portunity for advancement which
would not satisfy an American, who

instruction in Farm
Engineering and Dairy
and Stock Feeding

so many requests have come in for
special course in Farm Engineering
and course in Dairy and Stock Feed
ing that the Northwest School of Agri-
culture, Crookston, has decided to Of
fer courses in these subjects beginning
the 18th of February and continuing
four weeks until March Is.
The course in Farm Engineering will
consist. of work with tractors, station
airy gas engines and automobiles. Ex-
perts will be on hand to devote their
entire time to this work. In addition
opportunity will be offered for the
study of the leading types of tractors,
engines, and automobiles The course
in Dairy and Stock Feeding will con-
sist of practical work in herd manage
ment, the stock at the station being
used for demonstration. Successful
herdsmen will tell of their methods of
feeding and caring for stock. MANY
special subjects such as care Of ewes
before lambing, the brood SOW, the
dairy or beef calf will be handled from
Vic pIdCtlCAl VIEWPOINT.
1t is felt that a large number of
farmers will avail themselves of this
opportunity to spend four weeks at the
school. The expense is small, and the
courses are being offered at a period
when farm work is slack, enabling
them to leave the farms for few days.
The courses offered are those of un-
usual interest to the farmers Of the
Valley and the time spent in the study
Of these subjects will mean dollars and
cents to all who will be in position to
enroll.
It is requested that all who are in
terested in these courses should inform
the school at the earliest possible date
in order that final arrangements may
be made. If additional information is
desired, the same may be obtained by
writing the Northwest School Of Agri-
culture, Crookston, Minnesota. A cir
cular will be sent giving the detailed
courses. The expenses include board
and room which may be secured either
at the school or in .Crookston and in
addition a very small fee covering ma

The country is especially interest
ed in the campaign of Lieut.. Col.
Theodore Roosevelt for the New York
Assembly because he is his fathers
son. But Roosevelt himself isn't
making the race on any such basis. He
was told he might have the congress
sional nomination. He refused it be-
cause it might have been construed AS
a favor. He took the nomination for
the assembly and is stamping his dis
trict just as any other man might. He
is making speeches for policies he be-
lieves in. If he is elected it will be
on his merits, not on his fathers.
The Middle West has recently heard
Roosevelt speaking for the American
Legion. A more modest, straight
forward, sensible young fellow it has
MT met in many a day. He stands on

been a ministerial student of Spokane
University and Bible College. Aside
from his evangelistic career he has
held three successful pastorates and
has been a popular preacher at each

Mr.. Nell began his life's work as a
preacher at the age of eighteen years
when he was director of music at the
Pacific Ave. Christian church of Spo-

Sunday school chorister of another
congregation. His success as song
