continues after that, but it's paid up.
The 20-payment life policy is still
higher, for 20 years only.
Any of these will build up cash
values and will pay dividends.
Cash values are established at the
end of the first year and increase
with every premium we pay. After
that we'd be entitled to borrow I'D to
"a per cent of the cash value at S per
cent interest.
When the policy dividends are de-
clared, we can take them in cash or
let them accumulate to add to the
value of the policy. The dividends
will earn dividends.
Facts Explained.
About the cost of the permanent
policies. Let's consider Bill Downey.
ex-Marine, who used to have $3.50
deducted from his pay each month
to pay for $4,000 national service
life insurance.
After he got his discharge, he paid
that same amount each month to
the collection subdivision of the Vet
erans' Administration in Washing
ton, sending money orders made out
to the Treasurer of the United
States. Then he decided to see about
converting his insurance.
At his VA regional office he asked,
Suppose I convert to a 20-pay life
plan. That'd mean I'd pay pre-
miums for 20 years and then
wouldn't have to pay any more.
What would the premium be?"
You're how old now?" the repre-
sentative asked.
I'm 25."
"Well. that'd be 1912 q. thousand
per month. How much are you
carrying-$10,000?"
Bill said, Gee, that'd be $21.20 a
month for 10000
Convert to the ordinary life
plan," the representative suggested.
That's the most commonly used.
Costs less, too. For you it'd be
1870 month"
But that's twice as much as I pay
now"
Bill was overlooking = couple of
things.
First, he doesn't have to convert
to a $4,000 policy, just because he
carried $4,000 of term insurance.
He can reduce the amount he wants
in multiples of $500. down to q
minimum of $1,000.
About 95 per cent of the men in
the service bought national service
life term" insurance. The average
insurance per life was 5000. Yet
the average private life insurance
policy is around $4,000.
Bill should have considered that
maybe he ought to end his $4,000
term policy by converting to a ST.
500 permanent policy. That would
lower the premium.

Future
Prize Contribution
By Ben Walker. Is.

Mckinley High School
The year was four thousand and
thirty three Il
A distant year, but what's more,
All the flies were five feet three,
And the humans were two feet
four. 0
He sat on the edge of his prison
cot,
And solemnly wondered why
He had ever conceived the terrible
plot
To kill the gorgeous fly.
A white-whiskered fly made an awe
some Judge.
The prisoner sighed, "Shoo, fly"
But calmly taking piece of fudge,
The fly buzzed, You must die"
They took him, and the judge
droned. "Good-by."
But the brave man showed no
fear.
They stuck him to man-paper and
left him to die.
And thus ended the murderer S

Children Can Learn
Patience by Training
Dogs in Obedience
TFt1E y SONTSOubt0W
By Potrieio Pierson, IS
Mckinley High Seheel

| Back in 1887, my father bought a
black cocker spaniel. The pup was
about q year old and cute as a but
ton.
The same year my father bought
Smokey, he began to train him,
teaching him to walk at the left
heel, to come when called, to find
his rubber ball when it was hidden
and to bring the newspaper.
That same year, our local theater
held a dog show with prizes for the
dog with the longest hair and other
such crazy ideas. Dad entered him
| in q trick contest, taking second
prize
! At this show, my father talked
with some people who were asso-
ciated with a dog training club. He
entered the club to further Smokey's
training and to learn all he possibly
could about dogs He soon entered
dog show under American Ken
mel Club supervision and won his
first LEG" in obedience. There are
are three degrees to be obtained in
obedience:
i. c. D.. Companion Dog-The dog
must heel of and on leash. sit and
stay, lie down and stay, stand for
examination and come when called.
| 2. C. D. x. Companion Dog Ex-
cellent-The dog must have the c.
| D. degree and also retrieve dumb
bell on the nat and over broad and
high Jump.
3. U. D., Utility Dog-The dog
must have c. D. and c. d. X. degrees,
and also jump over 4 bar jump,
and separate a metal and wooden
object with his handlers scent on
it from a pile of metal and wooden
objects.
The dog gets three legs" on each
degree; one "leg" in each Of three
different dog shows approved by the
A. X. C. A qualifying score in c. D.
is IS or over. In c. D. and c. d. K.
qualifying score Is 1S5 out Of a
possible 220.
Smokey is now 10 years old and
has gotten the G. D. and c. D. K.
degrees, and is trying for the U. D.
He is getting to be an old man now,
but he is just as lovable as he ever
was.
This obedience training Is espe-
cially wonderful for childyen because
it teaches them to appreciate dogs,
and it also teaches self-control and
patience. There are several dog
shows coming up this spring, and I
know any one who has a love for
dogs will thoroughly enjoy watch-'
ing their favorite breeds at work.

Seventy of Conrad's fish are bril-
liant orange baby swordtails. He
breeds them himself to sell, and so
far has collected quite a profit.
Swordtails are one of the easiest
fish to breed. Conrad has had very
good luck with his pair Of adult
swordtails.
Prize Specimens.
Seven of the eight pairs of pearl
gouramies also are prize specimens
in Conrad's collection. These strik-
ing fish were given to him by a
neighbor as babies and he has raised
them to the size of an inch and
a half.
He also has a pair of gold wag-
tails. These are beautiful fish, re-
sembling the baby swordtails in that
they are bright orange, but on the
tips of the tail and fms they are
marked with dark black, making q
wondrous contrast.
Conrad has two aauariums, one a
5-eallon tank and the other a 10
gallon one. Each is equipped with
4 heater, glass covering, light and
thermometer, all the essentials of
a good aquarium. Many varieties
OF plants make the aquariums well
balanced.
Swift Swimmers.
Waynes collection includes a pair
Of fish which are striped with black,
thus deriving the name zebra. ~
These flsh are very swift swimmers
darting to and fro through the water
Of the aquarium.
Other fish in Wayne's collection
include pair Of moons, "a isrse
pair and a small pair ofasWordtails
BETA and a black molhe. Both
boys include in their collection many
guppies which are probably the COM
monest OF the tropical fish.
Wayne and Conrad keep records
of their purchases and sales in small
notebooks. Also recorded are the
dates of birth of new fish. Other
boys in their neighborhood also
have started tropical fish collections.
