GOVT. INSURANCE
FOR EX-SOLDIERS
Opportunity For Amy Man In
Good Health to Re-insure.-
Information Free

The home service section of the Rusk
county Red Cross is endeayOring to get
IN touch with all soldiers, sailors and
marines who entered the service from
Rusk county. Eight hundred and fifty
lucstiOnnaires have been sent out since
the first of February. and answers have
been received from all parts of the
country.
1t has been difficult to procure the
names of all Of these eX-service men,
and should there be some who have not
received questionnafres, and wish in
formation on the following Subjects
they may write or call at the office of
nome service section: Discharge cor
rected; fiye-cent travel pay; Liberty
bonds paid for in service and never re-
ceived back allotments; government
insurance; compensation paid disabled
cX-service men; vocational education
offered by the Federal board; govern
mcnt lands: Victory buttons; clothing
Iue each man on discharge.
The secretary of one Of the large
private insurance companies recently
said of government insurance
"Of course. a life insurance company
cannot grant insurance at less than
cost but the government offers inSur-
ance to soldiers and sailors at less than
cost because the government bears all
expense Of management, eliminating
-
overhead expenses. The government
is justified in his liberality in cOnsid-
Grafton Of the fact that these soldiers
and sailors have risked their lives, or
have been willing to risk their lives for
the benefit of the nation. All this be-
ing so. it is obviously eXpedient for sol
diers and sailors to take all the insur-
ancc offered by the government at the
low rate charged"
The company whose secretary made
The above statement has instructed all
its agents to refuse to take applica-
tions from soldiers and sailors until
hey have taken the full amount of the
new government insurance to which
they are entitled.
Correct information regarding gov
prnment insurance can be secured from
the home service section of the Amer
lean Red Cross. The local office has
lust received from national headquar-
ters a supply of insurance material in
which every service man who IS not
continuing his government insurance
will be Interested The Sweet bill has
made government insurance more at
fractiye and there is still opportunity
for any man in good health to rein
state.

HIGH PRICES
FOR POTATOES
All Records Broken In Market
For Spuds.-Crop
Estimates

The latest state Market Reporter has
the following interesting comment and
figures on market figures and esti-
mates:
The potato market has furnished a
sensation during the past two weeks,
for largely on account of light re-
ceipts and a good demand prices have
jumped $500 cWt, making price of
$9.50-$9.75 which is the highest price
ever paid. Wisconsin is still shipping
a few cars daily with total for the
season up to and including June 9th,
of II ,453 cars Farmers of the state
hold only small lots here and there and
a final cleanup is being made.
Grain
Government reports show the winter
wheat crop of the United States is eS-
timated to be about 22S million bushels
short of last year, while the spring
wheat crop is estimated at about 6S
million bushels more than the 1919
crop. The oats acreage is estimated at
|2h million acres less than last year
and the barley acreage about 700
thousand acres short of the 1919 fig
ure. The rye crop is expected to fall
about 5 million bushels short of last
years crop.
In Milwaukee the following prices
prevail: yellow corn $1.95-$1.96 bu.,
white oats $1.12-$1.14 bu., rye $2.15
50. 16 bu, barley $1.61-$1.GS bu., and
wheat $2.S5-$3.15 bu.
Pooling ON Increase
The wool market at present is in an
unsettled condition. This is largely
due to transportation and financial diff
ficulties. The demand for goods is also
erratic due to unsettled price of cOndi-
tions and the cut rate sales of clothing
now going on over the country. Many
orders are being cancelled and weav-
ers are more careful in their buying.
The financial condition however seems
to be the main reason for the uncertain
conditions. Speculation has been cut
down considerably and thus the move
ment of wool is reduced and prices are
coming down.
The work of organizing wool pools
in this state is rapidly going forward
and arrangements have been made to
handle the wool at various points in
the state. Farmers having any wool
for sale should investigate the matter
of pooling and it will mean money to
them if they will join either one of the
pooling organizations now operating
in the state.
