NJ 'ADOO URGES men TO
HOLD THEIR INSURANCE

Approximately four million Off
GERS and men of the army and navy
are now insured with the United
States government for a grand total
OF almost sS7, 900, 900, 900.
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
written.
For your protection Uncle Sam
has established the greatest life in
surance company in the world-a
company as mighty. as generous, and
as democratic as the United States
government itself. Just as Uncle
Sam protected you and your loved
ones during the war, so he stands
ready to continue this protection
through the days of readjustment
and peace.
The privilege of continuing your
government insurance is a valuable
right given to you as part OF the
compensation for your heroic and
triumphant services. If you permit
the insurance to lapse, you lose that
right. and you will never be able to
regain it, But IL you keep up your
present insurance-by the regular
payment of premiums-you will be
able to change 1t into standard
government policy without medical
examination. Meantime you car
keep up your present insurance a
substantially the same low rate. The
government will write ordinary lif,
! insurance, twenty-payment life, en-
, dowment maturing at age 62, ant
: other usual forms of insurance. Thi
: will be government insurance.

AT CHICAGO
HISS AMERICAN FLAG

Chicago, Jan. l7.-This was field
day for the extreme radicals at the
National Labor Congress, called to
consider a program for liberating
Thomas j. Mooney and Warren X.
Billings.
Practically every principle Of the
socialists and the |. w. w. was
urged for adoption In the flood Of
oratory which occupied both the
morning and the afternoon sessions.
Speakers demanded the organiza-
ton OF an American soviet, the press
and capitalist class we're denounced,
and the declaration was made that
a new day for labor Is at hand In
which the masses will rule the world.
The climax was reached when a
moving picture was shown OF the
Mooney case. One scene showed
soldiers carrying an American flag
in the San Francisco preparedness
day parade and there were Kisses
from some OF the radicals in the
crowd when this was flashed on the
screen.
A telegram was read from Eugene
| v. Debs, expressing regret at his in
ability to come to Chicago and ad
dress the convention because OF the
conditions imposed by Federal Judge
d. c. Destenhaver, of Cleveland
when the socialist leader was re
leased on bail after his conviction
for violation of the espionage law.
In the telegram Debs said amoni
other things:
Free speech prevails In Russia
but is dead in the United States sine
the world has been made safe TO
democracy. The conservative ele
ment has the unqualified approva
and support of the capitalist press
which can only mean that the con
servative element is true to the car
italist class and false to the workin
class. I am with and for the rad

SW|NDLERS REAP BIG
HARVEST AT Ell PASO

El Paso, Tex. Jan. 17.-Police
and detectives have started a cru
sade here against swindlers who i'm
pose on Mexican laborers returning
home after working on railroads and
in mines in the United States. The
worst offenders, the police say. are
the pawnbrokers who operate in the
Mexican quarter.
They swindle the ignorant Mexi-
can laborers of most OF the money
earned during a summer OF hard
work in the United States This is
done by means of ficticious pawn
tickets. alleged bargins in unclaimed
pawns and the sale of cheap. brass
watches for gold ones.
The Mexican consulate here has
complained repeatedly because Of
these systematic swindling schemes
conducted by local pawnbrokers op-
Grating in conjunction with Mexican
runners who bring the victims to
the pawn shops.

WILL DISCONTINUE 5
PER CENT WAR BONDS

London, Jan. 1.-THE issue OF
national war bonds at per cent will
be discontinued next month, by or
der of the treasury, 1t is from this
source that the government has been
deriving most of the money for
carrying on the war. The market is
wondering how and in what way the
authorities will obtain their funds
when that issue is taken off the
market.
In financial circles the view is ex-
pressed that there will be an issue
of per cent treasury bills running
IL months, and that in the course of
time all the short term obligations
Outstanding will be consolidated into
a long term loan at not more than
per cept interest.

REFERENDUM ON DRY VOTE

Salem, Jan. 17.-Commenting on
a statement issued by attorneys for
the distillers that the national pro-

the legislature must be submitted to
a vote Of the people in Oregon be-
fore it would be legal, Attorney Gen.

The ratification of the amend

all viewpoints and there is nothing
either in the federal or state consti-

In the years before 1915 the rail-
ways were our most favored private
investment, but in 1916 the indus
trials had risen above them. In 1917
the public utilities were above both
the railways and the industrials in
the esteem of investors. The utilI.
ties fell below the industrlals in 1917
and in 1919 will fall below even the
rails unless the present tendency Is
reversed. The factor common 10 both
rails and utilities. and absent from
the industrials, is regulation. No
