SERVICE men SHOULD
KEEP WAR INSURANCE

it is regrettable that so many form
er service men are not keeping III
their Government life insurance
issued through the Bureau Of Wat
Risk Insurance in Washington. The
fact seems to be due largely to wide
spread confusion and lack Of informa-
ton as to the right Of former SER
vice men to permanent life insurance,
and the process by which their insur-
ance may be retained.
The Rehabilitation Of our armed
forces was SO rapid and was attended
by suche uncertainty on the part Of
service men as to future civil occu-
pations and permanent places of abode
that it was not surprising that many
of the men gave little thought to the
matter of insurance Others doubtless
thought the original term insurance

they were denohilizad and did not
know it might be converted into any
one of the several forms of permanent
Government Insurance( Converted
insurance. Still others, Immediately
upon their return to civil life, felt
financially unable to continue their in
surance. They should now take adj
vantage of the liberal provisions for
reinstatement.
The Government is determined that
no former service man shall lose his
right to Government insurance by
lack of knowledge of conditions. To
this end, the bank, the pulpit, bankers,
physicians and other professional men,
and the great volunteer agencies of
social welfare like the Red Cross, the
Y. NJ c. A., the Knights of Column
bus, the Y. M. H. A., the Salvation
Army, the War Camp Community
Service, the Boy Scouts, an many
Others are now cooperating with the
Bureau Of War Risk Insurance in an
educational campaign designed to find
the former service man, wherever To-
Gated and tell them the Government
is now committed to the policy of
permanent life insurance for its sold
iers, sailors and marines.
Term Insurance (War Time Insur-
ance.) if it has lapsed, may be easily
reinstated within Is months from the
date of discharge. by stating in the
application that the applicant is in as
good health as at the date of dis

two months premiums on the amount
OF insurance to be reinstated. And

Central Driveway in Cellar

The storage cellar is usually pro-
vided with driveway entrance and
is considerably wider than the cellars
without driveways, which are often
only II to 80 feet wide, the entire
space being used for storage pur-
poses and the floor being either
dirt, wood or concrete. Some OF the
best storages have driveways through
the middle with bins on either side,
the driveway being an earthen one
with the storage bins having ventil-
ated wooden floors laid on joists
placed at right angles to the drive
way and thus furnishing an unre-
stricted passage or air beneath the
bin.

shape. 1t is inadvisable to store a
large bulk Of potatoes in one pit
The potatoes are stored over very
light layer Of straw on the floor while
the pile is insulatead against heat and
cold by covering the spuds with al
ternate layers of straw or hay and
soil. During the late fall, las the YEA
Their grows colder,more straw, as
we'll as more soil, should be added to
form protective Goa over the po-
tatoes. Each layer of straw, when
compacted, should be approximately
6 inches thick, while the final layer of
soil should be 6 to 8 inches, depend
ing on weather conditions. Ventila-
ton may be proved by means of
wooden flue, the lower end Of which
extends almost to the bottom of the
pit, while the upper end should ex-
tend well above the covering, the
valve being equipped with wooden
cap to prevent the entrance Of rain
and snow, and also in order that it
may be closed entirely during very
cold weather.
A pit of this sort when well made
will provide perfect protection for the
potatoes until spring, the only objec-
ton to it being that the potatoes are
not always accessible during the
winter.
In regions where rainfalls are very
slight, dugout potato cellars are COM
monty used, it not being necessary
to provide the buildings with water
tight roofs. Usually the pit or hog
back" as it is called, is placed on
short, narrow strip o. land which is
easy to approach and central drive
way into the pit at the grade line.
1t is necessary to brace such. pota-
toes by means of posts and plates in
order to prevent a cave-in. Some
of the pits are more expensive and
substantial, with the end and side
walls made of concrete. Generally it
is advisable to have the storage cellars
or pits equipped with some system of
artificial lighting.

Use Storage Adapted to Local Needs


In considering the type of storage
best suited to the needs the grower
should bear in mind the temperature
and rain likely to occur during the
storage period, the character and cost
of the material involved, the nature Of
the soil and drainage, and the length
of the storage period. Potatoes may
be successfully stored in pits provid-
ed with good drainage and given suf-
ficient covering to insulate them we'll
against heat and cold, well-drained
site being essential. It is usually not
advisable to excavate not more
than six inches, making the pit long
and narrow, rather than square in its
