Bureau of War Risk Insurance.

The farms of the country con-
tributed about one-fourth Of the man
power of the forces Of the United
States engaged In the War.
1t is estimated that 100000 men
who served in the Army, the Navy
and the Marine Corps were born
and reared on American farms.
A total of 4,539,04S men took
out War Risk Insurance, their ag-
gregate policies totalling nearly $40,-
900, zoo, 600, and each policy averag-
ing $500. OF this total insurance,
service men from the farming dis
tricts carried approximately $780,
42o,0O0,000, and by far the greater
percentage of this insurance was
made payable to wives, mothers,
fathers and other relatives who re-
side on farms.
The average age of the men who
fell in action, died of wounds or
from other causes during the war,
was 23 years, and because of their
youth, by far the greater percentage
were unmarried men. Which ex-
plains why AZ per cent of the po-
licies taken out named mothers as
benefciaries, 16 per cent named faith
ers and only z per cent named wives.
In the original War Risk Act pro-
vision was made for the policies writ
ten on service men during the war
to be continued as permanent Gov
eminent Insurance. To avail them
selves of the opportunity to convert
their War Risk Insurance into per-
manent United States Government
Insurance it is necessary that the
men discharged from the service con-
tinue to pay their monthly premiums,
and at some time during the five
years following the formal decla-
ration of peace that they convert
into a permanent policy.
From the record it appears that
only about twenty-five per cent of
the men who had insurance during
the War are continuing to keep up
their insurance. This is largely
due to the fact that the men were
unfamiliar with the provisions of
the Act, or that they have not felt
able to carry their in
surance at this time.
To guard against any man losing
his right to Government Insurance
because of his condition the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury recently issued
a ruling allowing every man eigh-
teen months in which he has the OPP
portunity to reinstate his insurance |
after he has allowed it to lapse be-
cause of nonpayment of premiums,

from $1,000 up to $4,000 in multi
pies of $500. Reductions may be
made in multiples of $500 to any
amount, but not les than $1,000.
Premiums are due on the first of the
month, although payments may be
made during the calendar month.

TIME TO BE GETTING BUSY

That the people of Beaver and
Beaver County, Oklahoma, are wax
ing up to the Importance of the pro-
posed Kansas and Oklahima Railroad
project is evidenced by the following
in the Beaver Herald:
While at Liberal, Kansas, recently
we met and talked with o. p Byers,
promoters of the Liberal-Forgan
Short Line, known in railway circles
as the Kansas-0klahoma Railroad,
and we learned from him and were
shown kilograms and communica-
tions which indicate that other sec
tions are anxious to secure this pro-
ject and art willing and eager for a
proposition. Hugoton, northwest of
Liberal, and Ochiltree, south of that
point, are both on tip-toe for
chance at the road. Mr.. Byers in
formed me that the proper interest
was not being shown by Beaver
county residents who would be most
benefited by the road and, that
while he preferred to build from Lib
eral to Forgan as proposed, that ne
cessarily the people along the way
would have to show the proper inter
est and back the very liberal PROPOSE
ton he had made by subscribing to
the bonus notes without further de-
lay, or he would be compelled to look
elsewhere. He is disposed to build
the road but must necessarily have
the assistance asked for and cannot
let the matter drag. The abundant
wheat crops and other promising con-
ditions justifies the property owners
along the way in contributing the
small bonus asked and they are max
ing a very great mistake if they let
this chance for a railroad at their
doors and a connection with two
trunk lines, slip through their fin
gtrs.
The building of the road, which
will ultimately connect up with Bea-
YER, also means something to this
town and it occurs to US that it is
high time that Beaver people get
busy on the proposition. Mr.. Byers
means business. Shall we sit and
idly hold our hands while this rail-
rod goes glimmering or will we wake
from our lethargy and go after it.
Beaver has the pep" if properly
aroused, to get anything she goes
after. That has been demonstrated
in the past. Let's go after the Kan
sas- Oklahoma road.-BeaverHer-

They hope, by bringing to its support

Considerable Encouragement will
