ity clauses to ages sixty, sirty-two

provision that after twelve full

of each month and payable at any
time within thirty-one days includ-
ing that date.
(e) The policy is payable in 24O
monthly installments or in any less
number in multiples Of twelve if
selected by the insured. The insur-
ed may also elect Co have the insur-
ance payable in one sum. There is
a provision in the policy whereby the
insurance may be paid to the bene-
ficiary in monthly installments dur
ing his or her life-but if he or she
dies before receiving 240 INSTALL
ments would be payable in accord
ance with the terms of the contract.

freight train approaching, and his
horses were about to cross the track
when the train bore down upon them.
Mr.. Stefnski succeeded in getting
the horses across the track bur the
train struck the sleigh, knocking one
of the horses down, and carrying team

KEEPING THE
ROAD open
BAYFIELD, AND WASHBURN
PEOPLE JOIN IN WORK
Soon Had Road PassabIe for
Automobile Traffic Between
The Two Places. To Con-
tinue the Work.


The road between Bayfield, and
Washburn which was blocked by
snow, was cleant for automobile
traffic last Thursesy and traffic be-
tween the two places was resumed
Crews were sent out from both places
and soon the road was open. The
work was done by interested autoists
and business men of the two places
at their own expense and it is the
intention to keep the road open for
travel during the winter months
The road from bayfield, to Ash
land is a very important one so far
as automobile traffic is concesned ard
many trucks ply regularly between
the two places.
An effort was made at the annual
meeting of the county toard TO set
aside a small appropriation to keep
this road open, but because of lack
of information on the subject the ap-
preparation was voted down.
The time is rapidly coming when
roads will have to be kept open for
travel during the winter and several
counties are this Year keeping their
roads clear of snow. The undertak-
ing is not such big one, consider
ing the amount of traffic which is
Accommodated. 1t is likely that Bay
field county will be asked to main
tain several writer roads as soon as
the board members realize the amount
of travel which is accommodated.

A boy who whistles in the street,

not sulk.
A boy who is polite to ever man,
and respectful to every woman and

How to be a Gentleman
Let no boy think he can be made a

gentleman. He may wear an old
hat, cheap clothes, live in poor
house, and spend but little money.
But how? BY being true, manly and
honorable. BY keeping himself neat
and respectable. BY being civil and
courteous. By respecting himself
and others. BY doing the best he

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Regula-
tions of the United States Veter-
ans Bureau limising the time for re-
instatement of war risk insurance
for ex-service men to December 81
of this year have been amended, effec-
tive January q, 1872, so that men
who have allowed their policies to
lapse may reinstate them at any
time before March 4, 1926, according
to an announcement of Col. Charles
R. Forbes, director of the Bureau.
It has come to the attention of the
bureau that a great number of men
have allowed their insurance to lap
Sc because they do not realize their
rights both to reinstate and convert
their insurance into one of the perman
ent forms offered by the government.
Briefly, the requirements re-
instatement will be as follows:
/. If the ex-service mans insur-
ance has lapsed for less than three
months, and if he is in as good health
as at the due date of the premium
in default, he can reinstate by so
stating in his written application,
and by paying two months premiums
on the amount of insurance ne wishes
to reinstate.
2. If the insurance has lapsed
for more than three months, it will
be necessary for him to submit the
report of full medical examination
in addition to his statement testify
two months premiums on the amount
ing to his good health, and to pay
of insurance he wishes to reinstate.
8. Where a medical examination
is required for reinstatement of
lapsed insurance, such examination,
at the request of the applicant, may
be made by authorized medical officers
or examiners of the u. S. Veterans
Bureau or the u. S. Public Health
Service detailed othe us Veter-
ans Bureau, and shaall be made by
such officers when in the discretion of
the Director or District Manager
such procedure is deemed necessary
without expense to the applicant.
A. Notwithstanding the above
man who has allowed his policy to
lapse may reinstate his insurance at
stated requirements, an ex-service
any time prior to March 4, 1926, un-
der the followin regulations:
If the ex-service man is disabled
as result of any injury or disease
contracted in or aggravated by his
military or naval service during the
World War, but is not totally and
permanently disabled, he may REIN
state his lapsed or cancelled renew
able term insurance by submitting a
report of a complete medical exam
ination to show that he is not suff-
ering for any disability other than
that contracted in the service. He
also will be required to pay all past
due monthly premiums which would
have become payable if the insurance
had not lapsed, together with inter-
est at rate of five per cent per an
mum, compounded annually, on each
premium from the due date thereof.
Any ex-service man who Is Inter-

The pool table which was formerly
upstairs in the lobby has been taken
apart, repaired, recovered, and set
up in the pool room as billiard
table. All local disciples Of Willie
Hoppe please take notice.
We meant no offense to John Glib
son last week by our failure to make
note of his big smash on the Club AL
leys. We simply didn't get the
dope in time to print it. We there
fore hasten to state that John roll
ed up his sleeves one night lately,
and spilled the naples to the tune of
265; and nothing but little twist
in the luck, along about the middle
of the string; prevented him from
chalking up perfect score. John
is receiving congratulations from all
sides, and though he is modest about
his achievement, something in his
eye tells us that he's got his mind
set on that perfect score, and like the
kid with no Pears Soap, ''he won't
be happy till he gets it."
The results of the first months
operation of the building as the Du
Pont club are very encouraging. The
bills contracted under the Y admin
tration are beginning to be paid off,
ard with the added support which is
only reasonable to expect, the Club
should be completely on its feet be-
fore long.
The shining lights of the bowling
fraternity are cooking up bowl

town, some real scores are sure to

made up.

SOMETHING WRONG IN THE
FOREST.
byCar!ysle Il. nolcomb

Tinker Bob was interested in Mi.
Gorilla. and when he. saw a. dozen
coming out of the foresf- Hcs was more
interested Than ever. But something
was wrong. he sensed it LIN the way
Those fellows chartered as they came
Bounding out of the forest. They
screamed and parked and carried on
in a terrible manner. The leader who
seemed to be more interested in
last convinced that something had
gone WRONG in theF forest
What in the world.is the matter?"
as Tinker Bob. as, a big monkey came
up to the leader and began chatter
ing as fast as v Ire could.
Suddenly, the leader seemed to
grasp the meaning of what was said
by this chattering fellow and he
bounded into the forest as fast as he
could 80. The King and Silky look
ed at each other and then looked lat
Tim. the Elephant. as much as to say.
We'll, what >do you think Of that 2"
: Tinker knew that something exeit-
inE was happening. or going to hap
pen, and he too, went into the forest
as fast as he could go. Such chatter
There was not only a. dozen but sew
eral dozen Gorillas all talking at once
They paid no attention to Tinker Bob
for they were interested in some
thing mox exciting. IL 2
What is it all about. cried Tinker
and he followed them through the
forest. They did not answer. Now
they were away ahead Of the King for
they can travel some. There were
those who travelled Through the trees
and some wholtraveled on the ground.
