UNCLE SANS INSURANCE
To The Soldiers and Sailors Of
America:

Approximately four million officers
and men of the army and navy are now
insured with the United States govern
ment for a grand total of almost thirty
seven billion dollars.
You owe it to yourself and to your
family to hold On to Uncle Sans in
surance. It is the strongest, safest and
cheapest life insurance ever written.
For your protection Uncle Sam has
established the greatest life insurance
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 gov
ernment insurance is valuable right
given to you as part of the compensa-
ton 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. Bat if
you keep up your present insurance
by the regular payment of premiums-
you will be able to change it into a
standard government policy without
medical examination. Meantime you
can keep up yoar present insurance at
substantially the same low rate. The
government will write ordinary life in
surance, twenty payment life, endow-
ment maturing at age 62, and ether
usual forms of insurance. This will be
government insurance at government
rates.
The United States government
through the Bureau of War Risk Insur-
ance of the Treasury department-will
safeguard you and your loved ones with
the spirit and purpose of republic
grateful to its gallant defenders. To
avail yourself of this protection, you
must keep up your present insurance.
Garry back with you to civil life, as an
aid and an asset. the continued ins0r
ance protection of the United States
government.
Hold on to Uncle Sans insurance.

People of southwest Wisconsin, pardon few plain words

to it. Are you doing it? How you working out your
democracy for which the world has been made sae2 The

portan peace problems How about your representatives
the Assembly? Will their achievements in lawnaking be
in keeping with the achievements of your doughboys in
France? The Democrat would bring railing accusation
against the whom you have chosen by your ballots but
we cannot withhold expression of the thought that they
equal the present great emergency Nobody would
cotend that trainers revser Of statutes they the
salt of the earth They all good fellows but whole
