The War Risk
Insurance Plan
The farms of the country contri-
buted about one-fourth of the man
power of the forces of the United
State* engaged during the war.
It is estimated that 1,200,000 men
who served in the army, the navy and
the Marine Corps were born and rear-
ed on American farms.
A total of 4.539,|48 men took out
War Risk Insurance, their aggregate
poHetee totaling nearly $40,000,000,
000, and each policy averaging $8,700.
Of this total insurance, service men
from the farming districts caried ap-
proximately 10,420,000,000, and by
far the greater percentage of this
insurance was made payable to wives
Bothers, fathers and other relatives
who reside on farms.
The average of the men who fell in
notion, died of wounds or from other
causes during the war, waj 23 years,
and banana* «* their youth, by far the
greater percentage were unmarried
ism. Which explains why 47 per
cent of the policies taken out named
mothers as beneficiaries, 16 per cent
named fathers and only* 7 per cent
named wives.
In the original War Risk Act pro-
vision was made for the policies writ-
'.*3 on service men during the war to
be continued as permanent govern-
ment insurance. To avail themsel-
ves of the opportunity to convert
their War Risk Insurance into perma
nent United States Government In-
surance it is necessary that the men
discharged from the service continue
to pay their monthly premiums, and at
tom* time during the five years fol
lowing the formal declaration of peace
that they convert into a permanent
tolfcy.
Prom the record it appears that on-
ly about twenty-five per cent of the
men who had insurance during the
continuing to keep up the in-

surance. This is largely due to the
fact that the men were unfamiliar
with the provisions of the Act, or that
they have not felt financially able to
carry their insurance at this time.
To guard aginst any man losing
hi3 right to government insurance be-
cause of this condition the Secretary
of the Treasury recently issued
ruling allowing every man eighteen
months in which he has an opportun-
ity to reinstate his insurance after
he has allowed it to lapse because of
non payment of premiums.
This reinstatement privilege should
be clearly understood. So long as a
man is not paying his premiums he is
not insured. His reinstatement priv-
ilege merely gives him the right to
again have Government Insurance
without undergoing physical exami-
nation, and upon the payment of two
months premium.
A nation wide campaign has been
inaugurated for direct personal con-
tact with former service men through
which thew may be informed of their
rights to permanent Government In-
surance, and in this campaign have
been enlisted the American Red Cross,
Y. M. C. A., Salvation Army, Boy
Scouts and numerous other National
social welfare organizations. In ad-
dition more than 50,000 life insur
ance agents have been enlisted. The
volunteer roll further includes bank-
ers, doctors, lawyers, manufacturers
other business men and representative
es of all associations which come in
contact with discharged service men
and other dependents.
The former service man who lives
on the farm will be reached to a large
extent through banks which have
volunteered to serve as clearing hous-
es for information on War Risk In-
surance.
There are six permanent •forms of
government insurance, as folows:
1. 20-Year Endowment.
2. 30-Year Endowment.
3. 20 Payment Life.
4. 80 Payment Life.
5. Endowment at age 62.
6. Ordinary Life.
Applications are being, received by
the Bureau of War Risk Insurance for
changing the present term insurance,
which was issued at the time of enter
ing the service, into the permanent
forms.
Ten features which prominently
stand out in the government policy
are as follows:
1. Ths total permanent disability
clause is granted without cost to the
insured and it is free from all re-
strictions.
X. Government insurance does not
charge it's policy holders any over-
ad expfes*.
3. It contain* an exttemely liberal
definition of disability.
4. It gives very substantial pay-
eat.
6. It contains no age restrictions.
4. It is unrestricted as to travel,
residence or orupation.
7. Pr—turns paid in advance are
ref—dsd down to the month, ia

The Mendenhall Bath House and
Sanitarium reports a good business,
and Mr. Mendenhall ia very apprecia-
tive of it. He has everything fixed
up nice for the convenience of the
patrons, and he is one who thinks that
nothing^ is to good for them.
The Sequoyah. Bath House has been
doing an excellent business all, sum-
mer and are still kept busy. From
early until late the attendants are
kept busy in both the iadies and gents
departments, waiting on the people
who are coming from all over the
country to try the baths.
Saturday was a big day in Clare-
more, the stores were filled all day
and it was difficult to wait on the
trade. The people come to Claremore
from miles around because of the larg-
er stocks to select from and because
of the enterprise of the merchants
who are reaching out after the trade
as never before.
Ralph Llkins, of the Springfield
Paper Company was in th* city last
Friday selling the trade. Mr. Lik-
ens has been selling paper to th*
editor for the past twelve years, aad
we learn from his trip this time that
paper i* going up again. Ths demand
is so much greater than th* supply
that it Is almost impossible to get an
trder from the mills.
Richard Morrison and Walter Ma-
tum were in the city Friday cteeteg
a deal whereby Mr. Msrrl*sn, ths
Chelsea druggist purchased
