question deserves Commander Rand
asks posts and members to express

ton is taken NOW, the next five to

ONE MILLION DOLLARS in
INSURANCE

One million dollars worth of Gov
eminent Insurance was taken out by
Minnesota veterans of the World War
during the first six weeks in 1927
The dependents of these ex-service
men and the state are thus made
$1,OOO,0O0 richer than before this ac-
ton was taken.
Emil Christensen, commander of the
Askov post of American Legion, to-
gether with F. H. Tomlinson, adjutant,
indorse this insurance offered by the
government as the cheapest and best
available to service men. They are
urging all ex-service men to investi-
gate their rights to this insurance
and are advising them to take out
all of it they can conveniently carry.
The governments offer of insurance
to all former service men of the
World War will expire on July End of
this year. There is, therefore, reason
why every service man should in
vestigate the matter Immediately and
take such action as his Investigation
proves he should take.

for assistance or write to the u. S.
