KEEP YOUR WAR INSURANCE

Young men who took out war risk
insurance while in the State College
Students Army Training Corps are
urged by the college military depart
ment to keep their policies going.
There is no better nor cheaper insur-
ance in the world,-it is operated at
absolute cost. A SIC, 600 policy is
actually worth $13, 800, because the
beneficiary will receive $3.50 a month
for 20 years. Even though these
young men do not have dependencies
now, they will have them in the near
future and this protection will be
needed. The government has written
more than $3S,O OO, 900, 900 in %inusrance
its soldiers as a method of taking
care of the dependers of the nation.
Send insurance premiums TO the Blu
reau of War Risk Insurance, Treasury

temporary delay in issuing certificates
has been due to enormous quantity
of work, but this will soon be ovec-

1t will be the week OF the Tractor
Show at the Exposition building,
Minneapolis, from Feb. Is to %. The
Tractor Show will be staged this year
with the Northwestern Automotive
and Industrial Exposition but the iron
horse is ~prancing so spiritedly this
year that he threatens TO o~vershadow
the passenger cars and the electircs

All makes, styles and prices of trac'

ton building show week. There viii
be 80, 900 feet of space devoted ex-
clusively to them. Expert demonstra-
tors from all the factories in Ameri-

for more than blowing and seeding

they can be put will be demonstrated
in the great hall where the voices of
Calve, Patti, Nordica and other fam.
Gus operate stars of the last century
often thrilled vast audiences.
Trucks, light and heavy, will also
figure prominently in the displays on
the first floor. Trucks designed espec'
ially for the use of the truck gard

although the f%ive-tonners popular with
the big city firms will not be crowded
out.
Electric, gasolene and steam driven
ears will be well represented on the
second floor where the passenger cars
will be assembled. Every car that is
on the market will be there and there
will be motorcycles for good measure.
The accessory dealers to the num-
Der OF IS will be present on the same
! floor as the passenger car men and,
following their old custom, promise a
line of novelties that will detract the
other displays.
The industrial exhibits on the third
floor are being arranged by the bust
ness firms OF the Twin Cities in con-
junction with the Civic and Commerce
! association. At least $50 firms have
signifed their intention of being rep.
resented and advance reports indicate
that everything will be shown on that
floor from nutmeg to cream separa-
