VETERANS
TO RE-INSTATE
THEIR POLICIES
Only Those Totally Disabled
Are Exempted From New
Order.

4 campaign was instituted Monday
hv the United States Veterans bureau
for the purpose of re~instating and
converting United States government
insurance policies of former service
men and women, according to informa-
ton received by the American Legion
in Great Falls, Monday.
The bureau desires to correct an
impression which it believes general
among e~x-service people that those
who have let their insurance lapse are
no longer entitled to carry a policy
with the government. This is not the
case, the bureau states. Government
insurance can be reinstated any time
up to March 8, 1926. regardless of
when the last payment was made. 1t
was announced.
The only exception to this rule is in
the case of those who are permanently
and totally disabled or are suffering
from a disability which is not ude to
their military service.
For the general information of the
many persons who have allowed their
government insurance to lapse and who
are unfamiliar with the offering made
by the government in the matter the
bureau offers the following statement:
'In addition to a yearly renewable
term insurance. the govrnment issues
six different plans Of permanent forms
of insurance. Ordinary life. 20 and 80
payment life. 20-year and 30-year en-
dowment and endowment at the age
of g.. These policies not only have
the disability feature incidental to the
yearly renewable term insurance. but
in addition have cash and loan values;
and extended and paid-up insurance at
the end of the first year is without
restrictions as to travel or occupation,
and is also free from taxation and Is
protected from claims Of creditors.
Communications relative to govern
ment insurance will receive immediate
attention If addressed to the Insurance
Section, United States Veterans
Bureau offices at Helena. Montana"

METAL EXPOSITION OPENS
today IN HOTEL RAINBOW
Copper and Brass Shown in Raw State Alongside
of Finished Products; Several Unique
Exhibits Arranged.

Metals fresh from the smelter in
iugo:s. rods, wires and tubes, will lie
beside articles that have been in daily
tise for a century or more, when the
Great Falls Copper and Brass exposi-
ton opens in the Palm room of Hotel
Rainbow at 3 o'clock this afternoon.
Arrangements for the show were
virtually complete for today's opening
Monday night and, in the case of the
smelter and brass mill exhibits, to be
labeled and cards placed TO show their
relationship in the metals process.
s. 3. Chase of the Anaconda Copper
Mining company, who has been named
by the Commercial club to have charge
of the exposition, has obtained the aid
of many of the technical experts of the
smelter to work in the exhibit room
in relays to explain the exhibit to the
visitors.
To Open at 9 O'clock A. NJ.
After today. the exhibit will open at
9 o'clock In the morning of the room
being turned over to the luncheon clubs
at Don and reopened by the CONNER
cial club at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

The chief example of the time-resist-
ing qualities of the metals will be in
a large p p kettle entered in the
exposition by A. c. Williams. 1920
Sixth avenue north. After daily and
almost constant use through genera
tons. the kettle still shines as brightly
as when purchased in days long before
the Civil war. Its only dressing up
when taken from the Williams cook
stove TO enter in an honored place in
the exposition was, perhaps. a little
extra securing. A few small dents and
a coating of lime on the inside are the
only indications that the kettle had but

Brass In Firearms
Another article that shows the abil-
ity of the metals to conquer time, is
a small pistol of Belgium manufacture
made entirely of bronze with the ex-
ception of the wood in the stock. 1t
is the first one of the first double
action pistols manufactured and shoots
a p~in-fire bullet. The only metal other
than brass is the spring in the trigger
and is the only part that does o work
perfectly. The pistol is from the col
of W. r. Wilcoxson. and other
guns from the same collection may be
entered. Brass was greatly used in
many parts of the early rifles where
corrosion is great, according to Mr..
Wilcoxson, and is one reason why

centuries with little depreciation in the

Brass played a large part In the
first repeating rifle, the ''old Henry"
later purchased and improved to become
the Winchester, and an example of
which is now owned by Mr.. Wilcoxson.
Tie pepper boxes of the Civil war,
then thought a high mark in the max
ing of rifles, also used brass extern
sively.
Automatic Phone Switchboard
A feature of the exposition is to be
an exposed unit of the working parts
of an automatic switchboard. A tele-
phone is attached and by using it, any
of the spectators may call any number
in the city and see the operation of the
switchboard in getting the number.
The switchboard is a part of the dis
play of the Mountain States Telephone
& Telegraph company in which the
copper. brass and bronze play a big
part. A map on exhibition Will show
Great Falls as the hub in telephone
lines of the state.
Although the exhibit had not been
completed last night, the Palm room
was the scene of several impromptu
parties viewing the displays.
Among the several departments 10

Spring Wheat Seeding
One-tenth Complete,
Says Reserve Agent

In Montana spring wheat seeding
is only about one-tenth complete ex~
cept in the northeast section, accord
ing to the monthly report from John
II. Rich, agent of the Ninth Federal
Reserve district. The report says:
ut was estimated that it will re-
quire from three weeks to % days
to complete wheat seeding In the
majority of the sections heard from.
The acreage sown to spring wheat this
year will be larger than the acreage
a year ago. Winter wheat in Mon
tana is in excellent condition. There
were practically no reports Of winter
kill and the grain is somewhat ahead
of last year, although the acreage
sown to winter wheat was less this
year than last. Reports state that
moisture and soil conditions are better
than at any time since 1918 which
was a bumper year for Montana"

Chicago Market
GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, May 1.-Settlement Of May
contracts for the delivery of wheat here
began Monday without any of the
spectacular Accomplishments which had
been talked about Of late as likely to
be seen. For at least the time being
no shortage of wheat supplies was APP
parent. Deliveries were on a liberal
scale. totaling 1,250.o0O bushels. very
near the amount which had been gen
orally expected. and were readily taken
by strong interests. Big export sales
helped to lift values. The market closed
unsettled INC to 2hc net higher, with
May $1.4119 n July $1.2sh to S1.28A.
Corn finished u to 1 cents higher,
oats unchanged to % cents up and pro-
visions varying from unchanged figures
to a rise of 20 cents.
II was a practical certainty before
the wheat market opened that there
would be no delay In rendering wheat
freely to houses which desired to pay
that there would be nc difficulty In
disposing OF the wheat SO offered.
Under such circumstances, and with a
month ahead for further settlement of
May dealings. the rank and file of
traders turned attention to July and
September business and TO factors other
than the immediate supply of wheat in
Chicago.
Signs of continued foreign demand for
wheat became the dominating influence.
and with bullish domestic crop esti-
mates current. tended to send prices
moderately higher. According to one
authority, the abandoned acreage of
winter wheat was 1I.6 per cent, and the
probable yield perhaps 100000 0 bushels
less than was harvested last year. Ex-
port sales today were figured at up
ward Of 1905 900 bushels. On the other
hand the United States visible SUNNY
showed only a small decrease, 212,000
bushels.
Corn and oats were firmer in SYM
pathy with wheat. Talk Of heavy use
Of corn for feeding on farms attracted
some notice. Furthermore there was a
decided falling off in the visible supply
both of corn and oats.
Scattered buying of ribs rallied the
provision market from a decline due to
lower quotations on hogs.
The prices of futures ranged as fol-
lows:
