ASK RETENTION
VAR INSURANCE
BUREAU URGES THAT SERVICE
MEN HOLD POLICIES AND CON-
VERT TO PERMANENT FORM.

Director r. @. CholmeIey- Jones OF
the Bureau of War Risk Insurance an
nounced today that misleading and in
correct statements relative to the per-
manency of government insurance are
being circulated by individuals appar-
entity engaged in attempted twisting
Of insurance. A specific and typical
report received by the director was to
the effect that some Of these individ-
uals had boarded a naval vessel at
Philadelphia and had told the sailors
that government insurance would not
be good after five years.
Government life insurance for vet
Grams OF the great war IS a permanent
proposition" said Director ChoImeley-
Jones. Misleading statements have
been made to the effect that govern
n1ent insurance will cease at the end
OF five years after the war, or that it
viii be turned over to private com
panies. Such statements are absolute
~ false and without foundation. There
is, however, a requirement that the
temporary term insurance held during
the war which increased in cost from
year oyear, be changed or converted
into one OF the six permanent forms
Of government life insurance, Ordinary
life, 2O-payment life, 30-payment life,
Cougar endowment, 30-year endow-
ment, or endowment at age 62) within
five years after the formal declaration
Of peace by proclamation of the presi-
dent if the insured desires to continue
to be protected. This permanent in
surance does not increase in premium
cost as the insured grows older
Improper conduct by the individuals
/ have referred to is in direct OPPOSE
tian to the attitude of the great life
insurance companies, which Is en-
braced in q statement by the secretary
&c one of the large companies, who
recently said:
"Of course, a life insurance company
can not grant insurance at less than
cost. but the government offers in
i,1rance to soldiers and sailors at less
han It would cost the government to
Grant that insurance Cthat is because
the government bears all expenses of
nanagement etc.. The government
Is justified in this liberality in con-
sideration Of the fact that these sol
tliers have risked their lives or have
Teen willing to risk their lives, for
the benefit of the nation. All this be-
ing so. it is obviously expedient for
soldiers and sailors to take all the in
surance offered by the government at
the low rate charged.
The company whose secretary made |
the above statement has instructed ali !
its agents to refuse to take applica- /
tions from soldiers and sailors until |
they have taken the fun amount Of the !
new government insurance to which |
they are entitled"

tate SCHOOL
MAKES STRIDES

] Gonzalez, Jan. 30.-The James NJ.
Tate Agricultural School is one of
the most progressive schools of Es-
Gambia county. The improvements in
the school this year are many and easy
to note, for instance the school is Civ
ing three new courses this year.
courses that have never been taught
in the school before, besides these three
regular courses, the school is also
giving instrumental and vocal music
The people in the community have
organized a school Improvement assoc
| citation and through this association
the school secured a piano which is
being paid for by the association. Be
| lore this year the school has never
! had any kind Of music other than the
small time allotted to singing during
/ the hour for devotional exercises.
AT the beginning of the school year
the faculty conducted a series OF
Psychological Tests and other Stan
dard Tests by which they We're able
to locate the raw mental ability as
we'll as the percentage of facts the
pupils possessed regarding given
subjects. The examinations are lust
over and the records of the pupils for
this year to date shows a marked i'm
provement over the work of previous
years. BY the tests the school was
able to locate the weak points in the
pupils and could therefore stress the
more important problems and thus
make greater progress. 1t can be
said that the work of the school at
Gonzalez is better than ever before
and the people in the community are
well pleased with the conditions of the
school and the work that it is doing
this year.
The school children have taken up
on their shoulders the responsibility
Of starting a library for the school
and have purchased $500 worth Of
books for the school. In order to nav
for these books the Domestic Science
department serves refreshments every
Thursday night after the community
sing. From present indications the
children will be able to pay for the
books and also be able to secure other
needed articles for the improvement
of the school
The community sing which is held
every Thursday night under the di-
rection of Mrs. Been is proving to be
2 great success, some times a 5 many
as one hundred people are present at |
the sing and as the weather grows |
better the sing will also grow. BY |
the end of the year we hope to see
as many as $50 people attending the
community sing
From all present indications the
people are very much interested in the
school and are using every means to
support the school and help in the
onward progress of the present WORK
and the upbuilding Of the community
in general In order to have a good
community four things are necessary.
good churches, good schools. good
roads and permanent citizenship. If
a community has these four things
it is sure to have cooperation and
when the people begin to cooperate
one with another there is no chance to
prevent proper development You can
see the spirit Of cooperation develop
ing in the Gonzalez community faster
than ever before and If the people viii
continue as they have started nothing
but success will meet them in the
future not only in school matters but
in every thing that goes TO make life
worth living.

How to Keep Age-Lines
and Wrinkles Away

Don't forget that the woman who
smiles viii have skin more free from
wrinkles than the woman who frowns
When wrinkles begin to appear it IS a
good plan to battle the face once a day
for awhile in a harmless solution mads
bv dissolving an ounce of powdere Il
saxoIite in a half pint of witch hazel
This is remarkably effective in erasing
the hateful lines. not only because Of its
astringent action which tightens the
skin and thus irons out the lines, but
also because of a helpful tonic effect
which improves capillary circulation and
nerve tone. There is nothing better for
fIabby cheeks or chin. Be sure to ask
the druggist for the powdered saNolite.

up so with gas that I could not get
a long breath. My legs panied me
almost every minute of the day and
when hle weather was damp my arms
hurt me so much it was agony for me
to bend them. My kidneys were SO
badly out of order that I had pains
all through my back and at night l
was in such misery I could hardly
sleep at all. Every morning my back
was so stiff it was hard for me to
get out of bed and during the day
couldn't think Of doing my work.

half and piling up a THIRTEEN point

all the best of the first half, the score
being 30 to Z.
Both teams started fast and il was
fully two minutes before Uhrlaub reg

a field basket. Before the period
ended every member of the Jay
hawker team had connected for a
basket. Bunger scored all seven of
the Aggie points during the half on
three field goals. and a free throw.
At the opening of the second half
the Aggies came back strong and cut
the Kansas lead TO two points but two
goals by Uhrlaub and one by Miller
who had replaced Harms gave the
Jayhawkers a lead which the Farmers
could not overcome. The Aggie team
work was much better than that OF
Kansas during the half and all five of
the Farmers broke into the scoring.
Bunger was the high point man for
the Aggies with six goals and one free
throw for thirteen points and along
with l.. Cowell starred for the Farm
ers. Uhrlaub wasNeasily the Kansas
star. The JayhawKer center scored
sixteen of his teams points and out
played Jennings on the floor. The
game was remarkably clean until the
last few minutes of play when many
fouls were called on both teams. Las
lett. Of Kansas, went out on personal
fouls less than asminute before the
end Of the game. The victory for
Kansas put the two teams in tie for
third place in the valley race.
