KEEP WAR RISK INSURANCE

It is regrettable that so many for
mer service men r not keeping up
their Government life insurance is
sued through the Bureau of War Risk
Insurance in Washington. The fact
seems to be die largely to WIDESPREAD
confusion and lack Of information as
to the right of former service men
to permanent government life insur-
ance and the process by which this in
surance may be retained.
The rehabilitation of our armed
forces was so rapid and was attended
by such uncertainty on the part of
service men as to future civil occupa-
lions and permanent places Of abode
that it was not surprising that many
of the men gave little thought to the
matter Of insurance. Others doubt
less thought the original term insur-
ance WAR Time Insurance) ceased

not know it might be converted into

Immediately upon their return to civ

tinue the insurance. They should now

WHAT THE 1. V. AS STAND FOR

The "fighing squad" Of the l. V. A. is at
tempting to inflame the people of North Da-
kota against the Nonpartisan League by calling
it a Socialistic organization. They say it is so
c~ialistic because it's platform demands the pub
lie ownership of flour mills, elevators, a state
bank, hail insurance, other forms of insurance,
coal mines and other industries. They try then
to show that there is some mysterious connec-
ton between these economic reforms and athe-
ism, free love and anarchism and that if the
people accept the enonomic program they will
have to swallow the rest.
But these I. v. A. speakers have not a word
to say about their own economic program. Last
year the I. V. A., understanding with the cum
ming born politicians what the people want and
what they need attempted to outbid the League
by adopting the following platform:
Exemption of farm improvements from taxa
ton; state hail insurance, by means of an acre
age tax; state or federal aid, ownership or con-
troll of public utilities and such industries as
the people from time to time shall select by
vote.
Here we have from the I. V. A. platform
first hand evidence, that these gangsters are
atheists, free lovers and anarchists; for it pub
lie ownership makes these things of Leaguers,
it surely has the same effect on [. V. AS. Since
the I. v. AS claim that a belief in public ow-
nership has this demoralizing effect on indi-
viduals and they advocate extensive public ow-
nership in their platform we have a damaging
confession from their own lips of their moral
depravity.

take advantage Of the liberal provis-

The Government is determined
that no former service mar shall lose
his right to Government insurance
through lack Of knowledge of condi-
tions. To this end, the press, the pull
pit, bankers, physicians and other pro-
fessionalmen land the great volunteer
agencies of social welfare like the Red
Cross, the Y. M. c.. A., the Knights Of
Columbus, the Y. M. H. A., the Sal
walton Army, the War Camp Com
munity Service, the Boy Scouts, and
many others are now cooperating with
the Bureau of War Risk Insurance
in an educational campaign designed
to reach the former service men,
wherever located, and tell them the
Government is now committed to the
policy Of permanent life insurance for
it's soldiers, sailors and marines.
j.. Term insurance, if it has lapsed,
may be easily reinstated within eight
cen months from the date of dis
charge, by stating in the application
that the applicant is in as good health
as at date Of discharge, and by the
payment of. only two months prem
iums on the amount of insurance to be
reinstated. And this term insurance
may be converted into of several
forms Of Government policies. -.

MY TRIP TO THE STATE
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE

As I was one of the achievement
winners in the Boys and Girls Club
work, in company with my sisters EN-
ma and Esther Moe, I attended the
Tenth Annual Achievement Institute
held at the North Dakota Agricultur-
al College, December ninth to twelfth,
and had a very enjoyable trip.
Each day from 900 to 1920 a gen.
eral session was held in the Little
Country Theater in the Administra-
ton Building.
Addresses of welcome were given
Tuesday morning by Pres. Ladd and
Prof. Randlett of the Extension Di-
vision N. D. A. C. In the afternoon
the boys and girls attending the In
stitute were taken around the cam
pus. We were shown the large barns,
the cattle and other livestock. We then
went to the green house, the carpenter
and forge shops and to the Chemistry
building. We went from there to the
Science Hall where Prof. Miller gave
US a very interesting address on
Goods and Food Habits of Birds and
Animals" He had a very nice collec-
ton Of North Dakota birds and ami
mails. Later in the day at the Little
Country Theater the Edwin Booth

ed "Little Women" which was we'll
given and greatly appreciated by the
audience.
For two hours each day of Decem-
Der ten, eleven and twelve we attend
ed group meetings for instruction. On
Wednesday afternoon we were ad-
dressed by Pres. Ladd and DR.. Worst,
after which the members of the Insti-
tute were guests of the Garrick The
alter. This event was pleasing to the
boys and girls. In the evening at the
Little Country Theater we were CIV
en- an illustrated lecture on a "Trip
Down The Yukon" by Miss Jensen.
Thursday the State Club Leader an
nounced the State Winners, and the
Achievement stories were read by
those members. In the evening the
members of the Institute were guests
Of the Fargo Commercial Club at a
banquet given in the Auditorium
which will long be remembered by all
present.
Friday afternoon the committee
gave their reports and officers for the
next year were elected. Games vert
then played in the armory after which
we were permitted to visit the dairy
barn at milking and feeding time.
All together we had a very enjoy
able time and we hope the boys and
girls from u county will show more
interest in the coming year in the Club
work and that greater results will be
obtained.

FORD EMPLOYEES ATTEND j.,
FORD SCHOOL

The enrolment at the Ford Motor
Company's Americanization and Vo-
catioral school in Detroit has passed
the. 5000 mark. There are four cours-
es available to Ford men; the English
course, Trade school, Service course
AMI Toolmakers school. A four story
80 building is occupied almost
entierly by the educational activities
of the Ford Motor Company, .which
teaches it's service men the proper me
thod of repairing the Ford car that
makes toolmakers out of workmea
who show their desire to advance and
takes boys under sixteen whose a
ents can no. longer send them to school
and gives them a combination Of gen
eral schooling and toolmaking or 9th
err trade for which the boy shows a
liking. This latter part of the school
is known at the Henry Ford Trade
school and is regularly incorporated
under the Michigan laws as a private
school.
On entering the school the boys are
granted an annual scholarship Of four
hundred dollars which is paid. them IN
bi-monthlv installments and helps to
support them while learning a trade.
Provision is also made for increasing
this scholarship as the boys progress
and attain higher marks in class room
and shop practice.
Besides the four general courses are
a number of special courses, for fore
men, for men whose work requires
their, having a knwledge cf metals
and a teachers training school. AL
of the teachers in the Ford school are
Ford men-men who because Of some
esnecial fitness or because of their
ability counled with an understanding
of the "Help the Other Fellow spirit
have been called to the work of teach
ing other Ford men. In all there are
seventy-five teachers in the Ford
school. which is more than the ordin-
arv high school employs.
1t must not be inferred that those
men who are learning trades do all Of
their learning in the school. They do
not. Periodically, so many times =
week they attend the classes to learn

HIGH COST OF LIVING INVESTIGATED

A government agent investigating the high
cost of living, told a Fargo business woman re-
Gently the following story:
tie went to a prominent Fargo firm and pick
ed out a pair of shoes to buy. He inquired the
cost to this firm of these shoes and was told
that the company was not in the habit of telling
it's customers what it paid for goods. He then
showed his credentials and demanded to know
what the firm paid for the shoes. We was told.
This company was making a profit of $11.5O
on these shoes.
This government agent went next to a firm
that sells cloaks and furs. He selected a cloak
and was told the price was $3.50. When he used
his authority to find out the cost of the cloak
to the firm he found out it had only cost them
$3.50. He visited every clothing and shoe firm in
Fargo and discovered that all but one were en-
gaced in profiteering of the most outrageous
and increditable kind. One firm admitted that
it made enough in 1917, while it's country was
at war, to pay dividends for five years.
A madness of greed born out of the opportun-
tiles of the war has seized the business element
of this country and it is hurrying the whole ma
ton over the p~recipice of destruction. Like
crime this element is striking blindly right and
left against every movement and law that
stands in the way. Unless the people awaken
and establish themselves in government and in
dustry the republic cannot survive.
Inc Canadian government a lew Gays ago Is
sued a blanket pardon for all persons impris-
omen during the war for their political beliefs.
That leaves the United States as the only ma
ton that has not released it's political prison
ers.
LANCER is about as big a success as a treas
AIRY raider as he was q bank. raider. His checks
paying out thousands of dollars Of the taxpay-
ers' money to his political assistants for future
services were not IS good at the state bank as
the post-dated checks he declared worthless.
