KEEPING UP THEIR INSURANCE

The Government, through the Bureau of War Risk Insurance, wrote approximately $4O,OOO,- GOO, ,O00 of insurance upon the lives of mere than 4, 800 .OO0 ser vice men and women. This is a larger volume of insurance than is in force in the old line insur- ance companies in the United States. Approximately 90 per cent of the men in active service during the war were protected by War Risk Insurance, and the average protection was $8, 700.
 While the men were in the service it was easy to collect the insurance premiums by deduct. ing the amount due each month from their pay. Now the men have to look after the payment of tbeir own premiums, and the situation is further complicated by reason of the fact that the addresses of hundreds of thous- ands of them are no longer known to the Bureau of War Risk Insurance. Colonel R. G. Jones, Director of the Bureau. does not consider it sur prising that so many former ser- vice men have not continued to make regular monthly payment of their War Risk Insurance pre- miums. He says:
 Tn the first place, very few of them realize that the Govern ment insurance, as we'll as com penSatiou and allotmentS and allowances, is said by the Treas ury Department through the Bureau of War Risk Insurance; neither do they realize that after their discharge from active ser vice their checks or money or ders for insurance premiums should be made payable to The Treasurer of the United States" and sent to Premium Receipt Section, Bureau of War Risk Washington, D. c. Again, it will take considerable time for the former service men to get on their feet and get their bearings, even though they are healthy and strong.
 Many have not yet decided into what business activity they will enter or even where they intend ultimately to live. Lots of boys from the farms will To- cate in cities and many city boys may move into the country. In the interim isn't it too much to expect that the matter of pay ment of their life insurance pre- miums should become pal amount in their minds?
 They must be given time to adjust themselves to new condi- tions; but we don't want them to give up their insurance, and un- der recent ruling every one of them who has been insured, and who is in as good health as at the time of his discharge, has months from the time of his discharge from the ser vice in which to reinstate his War Risk Insurance.
 The payment of only two premiums for re1nstat tement is now required one to cover the month of grace during which the man was protected, the other the premium for the current month of reinstatement. The man, however, must state in his that he is in as good health as when discharged or as he was when the grace period of his insurance expired, which ever is the later date"

Sheridan is Shivering.

The city of Sheridan, only a few
miles removed from extensive coal
mines, is in the grip of the fuel famine,
according to the following from a re-
cent issue of the Sheridan Post:
with the big storm sweeping over
the country, Sheridan yesterday for
the first time felt the grip of the coal
famine. During the entire day there
a constant stream of calls for coal
reaching the office of the fuel admin
istrator and not n ton was available.
Many families reported that they were
out of coal, and this report was con-
frmed by officers who investigated
each individual case. Early in the
morning there were a few loads of
coal available that had been brought
in the previous day, but as soon as
this coal was exhausted no more was
to be had, for there was not a load of
coal hauled during the entire day"

Last Week.

"A garden for every child; every
child in a garden"
That is the slogan OF the United
States School Garden Army, an or
ganization formed a year ago under
the IT, s. bureau OF education, and
represented in Michigan and Wiscon-
sin by X. l.. Nye, who was in Crystal
Falls the latter part of last week.
Mr.. Nye has been comforting with
Supt Hill and others regarding the
school garden work of the coming
season. The garden army work, Mr..
Nye explained, is aimed al the promo
tion and encouragement OF gardening
by school children under school SUI
pervision. One purpose, of course. is
TO increase the production OF garden
crops because OF the continued need
OF more food supplies. Another is
the value OF the education and train
ing arising from this work when
properly directed by the school.
The garden army organization Is
simple in form, group of children
being formed into company, each
company chooses a captain and two
or three lieutenants. and has an adult
supervisor. The soldiers" agree with
the parents consent TO do, faithfully
certain amount of garden work. pre-.
ferably on plots OF their own; other.
wise on the home plot Arrangement
Is made for adult inspection OF the
home work, in which the company of.
ficers are OF great assistance. Rec.
ords OF the visits are kept by the in
spectors and reported back to thu
school, where it will be duly recogniz
ed in school standings.
Mr. Nye was assured that tn,
schools of Crystal Falls will cooper
ate with the U. S. School Garder
Army this year
