The question Of loyalty and pat
riotism is asked many times. The
Indians are the truest of patriots.
Was this not their country first?
Why shouldn't they be loyal and
patriotic? Have not 10000 Of our
Indian manhood dearly offered their
lives for our country, America?
Eight thousand have been in active
service lover there" Many have

TO SOLDIERS, SAILORS, MARINES

Our representative, James G Mona
han, sends out from Washing on the
timely cry, Don't give mp your War
Risk Insurance Here are some of
the reasons why Mr. Monahan is urging
every soldier, sailor and marine to re-
tain this insurance
Probably you can never get insurance
again at so low a rate, or with SO many
favorable provisions for your benefit.
You can convert it into other forms of
permanent government insurance at
your convenience within five years, but
it is necessary that you have your war
time insurance in force at the time you
make application for one of the new
forms of insurance. You can do this
by making your present premium pay
ments promptly and not allowing your
policy to lapse.
1t is your duty, not only to yourself
but to your loved ones. to keep all of
your insurance if possible. If you can't
keep it all, keep at least part of it.
Even if you have no dependents. your
government policy is just as valuable
to you. 1t can be converted into
government endowment policy, which
will assure you comfort in later years.
The six forms of permanent insurance
offered by the government are
/. Ordinary life.
2. 20 payment life
3. 80 payment life.
a. 20-year endowment.
5. 30-year endowment.
6. Endowment maturing ataga of 81.
All of these policies contain q total
disability clause making Their ayable

manently disabled, regard,eee : your

CALLED HOME.

Mrs. William Paynter. one of the mob
lest characters and oldest settlers of
our city, who left here few weeks age
for a visit with her children in Iowa
and South Dakota, was summoned to
her eternal rest at the home of her son,
M. III. Paynter, in Pankington, S.
Oak, last Friday, July IL, 1919. after a
brief illness of only five hours. The re-
mains arrived in this city on Sunday
afternoon and rested at the home of her
son. Josiah Paynter, and from which
place funeral services were held on
Monday afternoon. Rev. A. II. Schoen-
field, her pastor, officiating. Burial was
made in Graceland.
Much of interest and value might be
recorded in the passing from our midst
of this sanity and useful life but space
foroids; yet we cannot refrain from
mentioning some of the things which
places the life of Mrs. Paynter among
the unusual. Jane Jacka was the twin
daughter of William and Margaret
Jacka, and was born on the 10th
of July, 1888, in Cornwall, England.
When five years of age she came to
Mineral Point, and this city with the
exception of four years, has been her
home ever since. On July %, 1853, she
was united in marriage with William
Paynter Twenty-one children blessed
thisNnion, ten dying in infancy. eleven
growing up into manhood and woman
hood and nine of this number are still
living. Mrs. paynter also leaves forty
nine grandchildren and thirty great
grandchildren.
In early girlhood Mrs. Paynter com
mitted her life into the keeping of the
Christ and for more than seventy years
being faithful and loyal member of
the same church, attending its service
to the very end. No one can accurately
estimate the influence for good of such
life as this. God, alone, can and will
do the reckoning.
The surviving children are - Mrs.
Simon Toay of Bingham, Iowa. Mrs. w.
C. Harris of Plankington, S. Oak, w.
f. Paynter of Hurley, Wis. Josiah
Paynter of Mineral Point, M. H. Payn-
ter of Plankington, s. Oak, I. j.
Payn.er of Dodgeville, c. M. Paynter
of Mineral Point. Mrs. Carl Lyons of
Plaiikington, S. OAK, Mrs. Sam Harris
of Mineral Point. Mrs. Ed. Treloar died
about six years ago and Mrs. Herman
Weiesen, the youngest of the family,
died last January. 1919. Mr.. Paynter
passed to the home beyond Is years
ago.
