Congressman G. E. Randall
Tells Kenosha Veterans
of Changes I'm War Risk
Insurance Act.
INCREASES ARE EXPLAINED
Disabled Men Receive Greater Tenn
porary Aid from This Government
While Conditions Surrounding In
surance Offer Wider Field.

How monthly benefits paid under the
war risk insurance act have been in
creased and the class Of benefciaries
enlarged by legislation recently enact
ed by congress, and known as the Sweet
bill, is explained by Representative
Clifford E. Randall.
Converted insurance may now be
paid in lump sum or in installments
for SO months or more, at the option
of the policy holder, while the policies
may be made payable to more than a
dozen types Of benefciaries.
Will Increase Payments.
The monthly compensation paid I'M
der the new law is more than double
almost treblez-than paid in the past.
The increase, which is permanent, will
add $80,000,000 a year to the amounts
paid by the government to the disabled
ex-service men and their families.
BY the retroactive provisions Of the
law all payments of compensation will
be increased to the new basis. Pay
ments now are being made by the war
risk bureau to make up the difference
between the old rate Of compensation
and the new one. This is an imme-
date and direct benefit to 241, 1922 vet
Grams, among whom $14,500,0O0 is be-
ing distributed. An unmarried soldier
who has been drawing $40 per month
for the past year viii receive 5000 at
once, the monthly compensation being
increased by $50 in his case
Increases are Explained.
Disabled ex-service men will receive
for total temporary disability compen
sation as follows:
To the unmarried veteran, $50 a
month, an increase from $50.
To the veteran with wife, 500
month, an increase from $45.
To the veteran with a wife and child,
sos month, an increase from $55.
To the veteran with wife and two
or more children, 800 month, an in
crease from $65.
To the veteran who has no wife, but
one child, 800 month with SIS for each
additional child, an increase from $40.
To the veteran with dependent par
ents, an extra allowance of SO per
month for each is also granted.
OF course all disabilities will not
come within the rating of total tenn
porary, and of course the new law pro-
vides that all disabilities shall be rated
by the bureau Of war risk insurance,
and for each rating the monthly com
pehsation shall be percentage of the
degree of reduction in earning capacity
resulting from this disability. The re-
dustion in earning capacity must be at

BOONE WINS CLOSE GAME.
Successful Long Shots Give Sohoo
Five Earned Victory.

Five Earned Victory
In a fast and sharply contested game
the Boone high school basketball five
defeated Marshalltown, Friday night,
on the Boone floor by the score Of "a
to 10. Successful long shots from the
field near the close OF the two play
Ing periods gave Boone the decision.
The winners were more at home on
tho ninety-foot floor than Hurds men,
who are accustomed to the shorter
field. Under the baskets, however,
Marshailtown was accurate as the
Boone five.
Boone's team, composed largely of
experienced players, was expected to
win, and the result was satisfactory.
The local five played hard. fast and
clean basketball thruout, and deserves
great credit for its showing. Shannon
ut-Jumped his tall opponent and
played brilliant game, caging four
of Marshalltown's six baskets. Ray
played great shifty game, the Boone
players finding it difficult to cover
tho local midget. Gelvin scored the
first basket for Marshalltown, making
brilliant throw from the friend.
Boone took an early lead, which was
maintained thruout the game. The
first quarter ended with the score IA
to s. Marshalltown came back strong
for the second period and scored three
points In the first few minutes. tho
score standing IA TO II for the first
five minutes OF the last half. Boone
Increased its lead at the finish by
long shots.

panied the team to Boone and the

How Best to Pay Off the Mortgage
Follow This Plan,


Suppose you had mortgage OF
$1,000 on your home and were anxious
to have it paid off how would you 20
about It? We know of only two ways,
both requiring patient persistent saw
ing. The one way is to put your saw
ings in a savings bank, and the other
way Is to put them into life insurance.
In either way YOU can get rid of your
| mortgage.
Say you make life insurance the
! liquidator Of that mortgage. If you
viii put 500 year into life insurance
it will extinguish that mortgage whom
ever you die, whether tomorrow, next
year or thirty years hence. You will
not have to worry about the mortgage
whenever the grip threatens you or
the flu tries to get you.
But try the other plan. IT. is a good
one II you live; it would be d much
better one If it were not for tho If"
You put 800 in the savings bank end
at the end of a year you die. At 4
per cent oil there is to pay off the
mortgage Is $104. Say you live five
years there Will be then s563.30 towards
paying the 5000 mortgage, scarcely
a Starter. Make 1t ten years, and the
mortgage redemption fund will have
grown to s1,246.S0 not quite one
quarter Of what will be needed to pay
of the mortgage.
Suppose your habits are good and
you survive twenty years. about 25
per cent Of most people do not live
that long. Your savings bank deposit
will have increased to sayo9s.a0, still
nearly 5000 short Of meeting the de-
mand Of that greedy mortgage Add
another i've years and there will be
s4,S312e, not enough for the mortgage
by nearly $780, 1t viii require nearly
three years more, or twenty eight in
all. to bring the savings fund deposit
and the mortgage into conjunction.
For 10000 days you will have the
uncertainty Of extinguishing that
mortgage haunting your waking and
sleeping hours.

SUNDAY FEED FOR
WORK HORSES

Monday sickness in work horses is
quite common, according to DR..
Schalk of the North Dakota Agricul-
tural College. He states that this
Monday sickness is azoturia and is
caused by lack of exercise accom-
panied with heavy feeding on Sun
day.
In the stables of most large trans
fer companies in cities the grain ra-
ton is lowered by Is to 1-2 on Sun
day simply to avoid the possibility
OF bringing on azoturia. Proper
handling on Sunday of the horses at
hard work should begin on Saturday
night with a bran mash or a feed of
boiled barley as the evening grain
ration. This has a cooling and mild
laxative effect on the digestive sys-
tenn of the horse and prepares him
for the proper digestion of. his Sun
day feed, wen tho he does not get
the usual week day exercise. The
use of the bran mash on Saturday
evening followed by a reduction of
the grain ration of Sunday by one
third the amount fed on week DAYS
will practically eliminate danger of
azoturia in horses at hard work and
will help to keep the horses in gener-
al good health.
