A Historic Gavel
History has it that Daniel Boone,
being chased by bear, climbed a
pine tree in the Tennessee mountains,
from which he shot and killed bruin.

inscription "Dan Boone cilled bar,

"The Boone Tree. At the San Fran
cisco Legion National Convention, it
was a gavel made from the wood of
this tree that was used to call the
gathering to order, the Kings Noun
tain Legion Post of Tennessee having
presented the gavel to the convention
chairman just prior to the first ses-

Insurance for Ex-Service Men
When the United States entered the
World War, Congress provided sys-
tenn of government insurance for the
protection of the soldiers and their
families, assuming risks too gigantic
for any private insurance enterprise
to undertake.
Government insurance is now being
continued on permanent peacetime
basis for the benefit of all the ex-
service men, but it is especially val
liable for those who were discharged
so impaired in body or mind that they
could not pass the examinations re-
quired by the commercial insurance
companies.
The U. S. Veterans Bureau, c.
D.. Hubbard, District Manager, Mime
apolis, Minnesota, is charged with
the responsibility of administering the
laws governing this insurance and he
is anxious to have all ex-service men
avail themselves of the insurance
benefits which the government has
provided for them.
The law provides that any person
who was in the service may carry
government insurance now equal to
the amount he carried in the service.
II he has allowed his insurance to
lapse he can re-instate it simply by
paying two premiums if he is in as
good health as when it lapsed, other
wise he will have to pay all back
premiums with interest at per cent.
All ar Term Insurance can be
converted into standard policies, at
any time, and must be converted be-
fore March 8, 1926. All ex-service
men are urged to keep their insurance
in force because government insur-
ance is the bst and chapest they can
carry.
Every man needs insurance to pro-
tect his family in the event of his
death. When he carries an insurance
policy he knows he will leave cash
estate to pay expenses of final sick
mss and death, to clear up accumulat-
ed debts, and assure the widow of the
comfort the husband was always
pleased to give her when he was
alive,
Write the Veterans Bureau today
-.',d arrange to re-instate or convert
your government insurance. That is
the only safe and wise thing to do.
