Government Insurance Benefits
II u II y u y y y u (

Government Insurance Benefits
Persons who were in the military or
naval service during the World War
may obtain death and disability In
surance from the Government up to
the amount they carried in the service,
maximum ten thousand dollars.
Some of the benefits of Government
insurance are:
1. War Term Insurance may be
converted into permanent standard
forms of Government assurances.
2. No change IS ma de in the prem
ium for total disability benefit in the
policy.
8. No limit is made as to age in
case of disability
No restrictions as to res; dence, tr
ell, occupation, military and naval ser
vice.
5. Dividends are accumulate
through excess interest earnings over
three and one half per cent plus any
mortality savings, and paid to all
those whose insurance has been in
force fore than one year.
In case of illness, premiums may
be waived by insured until recovered,
if proper application for same is
made.
No matter what mans disability
may be, or it's degree, provided it is
due to his military service and he
has not been declared permanent to-
tai, he will be accepted, on payment
of all back payments due from date of
lapse, plus five per cent interest, com
pounded annually on each premium
date.
8. After four years of premium
payments on a twenty year endow-
ment. the extended insurance value
would take care of all payments of
premiums for the remaining sixteen
years, but, by so doing, the insured
would draw only the face value of his
policy.
Soldiers Schools in tuberculosis
SanatOria
The U. S. Veterans Bureau, c.. D.
Hibbard, District Manager, maintains
three schools called Occupational
Therapy Centers, in tuberculosis san
atoria for the benefit of disabled SOL
diers who are undergoing treatment
The one at Nopeming, Minnesota is
typical. The men are taught English,
spelling, composition, arithmetic, COM
munity civics, basketry, weaving, knit
ting, and leather work. The object is
to occupy the mind, afford exercise
and assist in the recovery of health.
Incidentally, the work improves the
education of both hand and mind
This institution has erected a spec
ial building in which to carry on Thu
work. Recently the Red Cross donated
memorial fireplace for the soldiers
building. A splendid radio outfit is
soon to be installed. The school al
ready has monograph and fine
collection of records. The patients
publish newsy little weekly paper,
"The Ticker" They also have a
Community Club organized to carry on
welfare and recreational work for
the patients. Weekly discussion and
debate programs are held
There is no question but that this
Center is doing much towards the re-
Mobilization of the ex-service men
who are at the sanatorium for treat
ment.

PAVING TAKES ONLY
ONETENTH

Occasionally we hear the re.
mark that the State Highway
Department is spending most oi
its money on paved roads and
only small amount on the
gravelled roads of the system.
Official figures given out by the
Highway Department show that
for all money spent in 1921 and
for all appropriations made for
1922, only 1Oc out of every dol
lar OF road money spent by the
Highway Department is for
paved roads, while 90c out of
every dollar went for mainten-
ance, gravelling, bridges and
such other work on the gravelled
roads Of the state system. It is
well to keep these figures in
mind because they are official
and authentic. 1t is the policy
Of the State Commission Depart
ment to build up the roads Of
the state as q whole and do II
as quickly as possible. II is not
the policy to use up the money
on few miles Of paved roads
to the neglect Of the balance Of
the roads of the system. The
figures quoted above. which are
official, certainly show that the
policy Of the department Is be-
ng carried out Long Prairie
