DDS to be followed in the various
states and the advisabilty of extend

MUSIC REALM
William Tell Overture
1792.1S68

Part is a pastoral interlude fol
lowing the storm. Here we may hear
the call of the Alpine horn and the
tinkle of the cow bells. The call of
the Swiss herdboy is played upon the
English horn, then echoed on the
flute an octave higher, and later re-
sumed by the English horn. 1t will
be noticed that flute initiates the
chirping of the birds in staccato
notes, while the English horn plays
it's passage in legato style, the rest
of the wood winds and horns furnish
ing an appropriate background.
The finale begins with fanfare
of trumpets which leads to rapid STAG
cato to passage in March form. This
pictures the call to arms, and the
rapid gathering of the Swiss troops,
who hurriedly march against the
enemy. There is a sharp contrast
when the first theme in major key
drops into the minor key of the trio,
and works rapidly up to climax and
to return of the originayl theme.
The overture concludes with bril-
liant code (from the Latin word
cauda, a taiD this term being applied
to the special passage which ends any
musical composition.

U. s. GOVERNMENT INSURANCE
Change Of Plan of Insurance
(By S. A. Warren, U. S. Veterans
Bureau)

cit is now few days short of
years, Ed, since you and converted
our War Time Insurance to Govern
ment Life policies" 81 wish had
converted it to a 20-Payment Life
as you did instead of an Ordinary
Life" "Your policy has practically
twice the Guaranteed Value" mine
mas and yet we were both 80 years
of age when we converted" "For
instance, the Extended Insurance val
ue of my policy is 6 years 81 days as
against IL years 116 days for your
policy; my Paid-up Insurance value is
$136.50 per thousand while yours is
$252.22 per thousand; and the Cash
Surrender value is $50.58 per thous-
and-you can cash your policy for
$93.46 per thousand, and at that
your premium has not been anywhere
near twice mine. You have also re-
ceived larger annual cash dividends. ;"
at just goes to show-the one
with limited means is always the goat.
couldn't see my way clear at the
time of conversion to carry a 20-Pay
Life, so I'm the loser" Even if l
could change now to 20-Pay Life /
would have to pay higher rate and
pay it for 20 years more-you are
through paying in 15 years. 1t would
entail an additional cost of $143.40
per thousand to make the change"
"Well Fritz, you'll admit you
haven't had to pay as large a monthly
premium as You have had the use
of the monthly difference.
"True, Ed, but take it from me l
would gladly have paid the same
premiums as you have and now have
your values, could l have afforded
to.
Aw, cheer up Fritz, you're not the
unlucky dog you thought you were
you're luckier than 1. You have used
the monthly difference in premiums
and can now change without a medi-
cal examination to 20-Pay Life and
only have Is yaers more to pay
the same number Of years I have to
continue paying, and the best of it is
your monthly premium will be the
same as though you had taken 20
Pay Life to start with. -
"What you want to do is to send
your policy to the U. S. Veterans
Bureau with a check to cover the
first months premium on the 20-Pay
Life and the difference of the reserves
on the Ordinary Life and the rs
Pay Life, which will be $42.8S per
thousand and you will receive 20
Pay Life policy bearing same date
and based on same age as your Ordi.
nary Life policy and for the same
amount, and your fulfilled wish
every one of US have five years
from effective date Of original con.
verted policy in which to change the
plan of insurance provided our policy
has not matured." ''Fritz, I thought
you understood Government Insur-
ance. How about you DAM"

HIGHWAY EXPENSES

(From the Worthington Times)
It is becoming more and more clear
as the days pass by, that the last
legislature was shortsighted in not
passing the bill for the $4,000, 900
bond issue for the construction of
roads in the state.
According to Commissioner Bah
cocks recent report it cost the state
of Minnesota $5,000,O0O last year
for the construction of new roads
while it took S3,0OO,0O0 to keep old
ones in repair.
Doubtless our legislature was anx-
ious to keep down expenses and felt
reluctant to increase the bonded in
debtedness, and if this was the sole
or controlling purpose in defeating
the bond issue it may be said to have
been commendable, but it is becom-
ing more and more clear that hard
surfaced roads are the only kind that
will stand the heavy traffic to which
much of our highway mileage is sub
jected and if the bond issue had gone
through we could be paying for more
hard-surfaced roads than we now
have while we were using them.

Adjusted Compensation Meetings
A compilation of reports at De-
partment Headquarters, Old Capitol
Building, st. Paul, shows that more
than 100 mass meetings and rallies
were held in connection with Legion
Week activities, in Minnesota alone.
At each of these sessions arguments
for adjusted compensation were
voiced by Legion speakers, chiefly
those assigned by the Department
Headquarters office, but including
also post commanders and adjutants
throughout the state.
Legion Week enabled the speakers
not only to carry a message relative
to adjusted compensation to commun-
tiles and cities all over Minnesota, but
gave them an opportunity to tell of
other and more important phases of
the Legion program, such as immigra-
ton policies, educational work, and
help for the disabled. The latter &C
tivity most of the speakers class as
the first concern of Legionaires, af-
ter that of seeing that old Legion
memberships are renewed and as
many as possible new recruits are
enlisted.
Speakers who have been engaged
in the work include Department Com
mander Ludwig 1. Roe of Montevideo;
Stafford King, Department Adjutant;
Douglas K. Baldwin, Justice Royal A.
Stone of the state supreme court,
Gerhard Bundle, Mayor Arthur Mel
son, Councilman F. R. L. Ferguson,
