Government Insurance carried by you
is of utmost value Some seem to have
given out the impression that this Gov
ernment Insurance will be taken up by
the Old Lime Insurance Companies. Ii
that impression is being given out by
agents of the old line companies, or any
other sell ers of insurance, it Is being
used as an advertising medium. This
Government Insurance will be main
tanned by the government, just as it is,
on the payment of your premiums, for
a payment Of five years. During this
five years you viii have the privilege of
converting your insurance without fur
their medical examination, regardless
of your state of health The Govern
ment will write ordinary life insurance,
20 payment life, endowment maturing
at 81, and any other forms OF insur-
anbe; this will be GOVERNMENT
INSURANCE AT GOVERNMENT
RATES. The schedule Of rates for the
various policies have not been issued,
as yet, by the Government, so there
fore it is essential that you keep your
payment up and not let the policy lapse
and thus forfeit your rights. This gov
ernment insurance is only fer soldiers
and sailors, and those who have been
actually engaged In war work for the
government 1t is the cheapest and
! safest Insurance that can be bought
anywhere, and there are many II civil

to buy some of this protection. This

Think it Over hv the Waz-

In the stress of war, when our fac
tories, our farms, our munition plants,
our shipyards, our steel mills, our rail-
roads, our coal mines, our copper mines
and every other phase of industry were
crying for men to man them, and We
were short two million workers, We had
no thought Of the Wilson Tariff laws
that had palsisd the activities of the
country before the war. We lost sight
of idle hands, of want and distress eye
rywhere, and of the soup house lines of
hungry men and women.
We have the same Tariff laws on our
statute books today. They have not
been changed in any way. It is well for
US to take them into account IN
considering the reconstruction period
after the war and the problems now
pressing upon US for solution.
These Tariff laws did US no harm
during the war, when the entire ma
chinery Of the nation was pushed to ex-

To The Soldiers and Sailors of

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 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 valuable
right given to you as part of the COM
pensation for your heroic and tri-
: umphant services. If you permit the
insurance to lapse, you lose that right
and you will never be able to regain
it. But if you keep up your present
insurance the regular payment
of premiums will be able to
change it into a standard Government
policy without medical examination.
Meantime you can keep up your pres
ent insurance at substantially the
same low rate. The Government will
write ordinary life insurance, twenty
payment life, endowment maturing at
age 81, and other usual forms of in
surance. This will be Government in
surance-at Government rates.

A CITY IMPROVEMENT

At q joint meeting OF the City
Council and the Chamber of Com
merce, Wednesday night it was ar
ranged to use the vacant lots just
West of the Geo. Philip, Sr. residence

The lots are to be enclosed with a
woven wire fence, so that the straw
and other trash from wagons can not
tains viii be placed on the grounds
for the accommodation Of those wish
ing to water and feed their teams
while In town. We presume the un-
slightly hitching rack on East Juniata
and other places in the city viii now
be removed. The lots east of Sar-
gents Second hand store, from North
Main to Second Street have also been
designated for a feed lot and hitching
racks. A shelter viii also be built for

the council and opposed by some TO
tear down and remove that unsightly
old building by courtesy known as the
old City Hall. 1t is an eyesore and
should be removed at once.

- - TURKEYS SIN

At the outbreak of the war in l9l:. Turkey decided to accomplish an age long diSire. With the full knowledge of Germany she set about the extermina ton of her subject races. These con sisted of SyrianS, Greeks and Armen- ians- the last being most important both in numbers and influence. Check ed only by other occupations she car ried on her mad policy till the end of the war. having during those four and a half wears exterminated no less than two million defenSeleSS people
 Those that remain as survivors of this organized brutality are spoken ot as refugees and orphans And they ar" largely ArmenianS. Driven from their homes they sought refuge in the hills or seaports, or wherever their strength enabled them to go. The remnant to day numbers about million, all of whom are dependant today upon tho benefaction of the American people,
 It should be made clear that th'' task is not. nor ever has been, a part of the Red Cross work. ItiS quite dis. tinct problem, and was undertaken tw1 years before the Red Cross War Coun- cil was organized. And the Red CroS $ has deemed the need so great and the problem so unique that it decided to leave in the hands of The Relief Com mittee already at work the task ct succoring Armenians's need
 In this current year the American Armenian Relief Committee are spending thirty millions of dollars |, feeding and clothing four hundred thousand homeless children and three undred thousand refugee women an" old men.
 Rev. Jenkins is now in Seward ln connection with the work of raising funds for the Armenians and Syrians' victims of Turkeys sins.
