Every man who Is eligible FOR this

Sold Al Cost
While congress was very thought.
full in making every possible provi-
sion for the ex-zervice man IN an IN
surance ways even 70 the point q sell
ling It At net cost. one important fea-
ture was neglected. Congress did not
provide q fund with which to advertise
the privileges extended to men in this
connection. Hence. the lack Of infor-
nation with regard to government in
suranee IS appalling. Many ex-service
men are Of the opinion that they have
90 repay all back premiums in order
to renew this insurance, while others
are Of the opinion that the converted
insurance is handled by commercial
companies; while still larger group
do not know anything at all about
government insurance. This article,
therefore, is. written in an effort to
bring to the attention Of ex-service
men few facts about their privileges,
and who would undoubtedly benefit by
the information contained in this arti-

| Government Insurance is uesd to
serve many different purposes. The
provident ex-service man can take
out an insurance policy with the gov
eminent at this time in order to in
sure q favored child or children q col
lege education; while the improvident
ev-service man can deny his depend
ents a great many comforts by neg
lecting to take this insurance again.
THE farsighted farmer who is eligible
for this insurance may take it for the
purpose Of paying off . mortgage on
the old home. If he is taken away
from this world before he has lived
his allotted three score and the years,
his dear ones, instead of having to
struggle under the responsibility Of
paying off a mortgage and earning
their livlihood, viii have this taken
care Of BY the payment Of the gov
eminent insurance policy.

allotments, according to the policy
holders desires. The six different
forms Of government insurance poll
cies available are: ordinary life, 90

ment endowments; endowments at age

Men retaining their war risk term
insurance must convert same before
July 2, 1926. Altar that date no term
insurance can be secured through the

/ tits not necessary for me TO dwell
upon the hazards that many Of our
readers are continually facing and the
fact that they would have to pay ex-
ira premiums for insurance obtained
through commercial companies, be-
cause these men, more than anyone
else, realize all of this.
The writer has the assurance of
the United States Veterans Bureau
that anyone desiring additional in
formation with ragard to govern
ment insurance can obtain same by
communicating with the Insurance Di-
vision, u. s. Vetrans' Bureau, Wash
ington, D. c. Those who desire to talk
to someone about government insur-
ance win be gladly received by any
local office Of the United States Vet
erans' Bureau or officials Of the Amer
lean Legion in their respective local
