SWARTWOOD-LANE HARDWARE COMPANY
SHOULD RETAIN INSURANCE.
Discharged sailors and soldiers who
have dropped their war risk insurance
are urged by Ensign E. P. Thornton,
Pap Corps District Insurance Officer,
New Oi leans, La., to take steps to
reinstate their insurance. His state-
ment la as follows:
"Uncle Sam went into the Insur-
ance business for the benefit of the
lads who stood like a stone wall be-
tween civilization and "Kultur." His
reason for this was to give his boys
gilt edge Insurance at the smallest
possible cost. With the Government
backing the company and bearing all
operating expenses, it can issue a
policy the value of which has never
before been equalled.
New Bureau Created.
"After wai ceased many of the
soldiers and sailors came back to
civil life, and, unfortunately, many
left the service in the rush of dis-
charges without being made to appre-
ciate and understand the value of their
Insurance and the method of keeping
it up. Hence, many have, because
of lack of Information, allowed their
term insurance to lapse, and many
more on the verge of doing so.
"So the Buieau of War Risk In-
surance created a Conservation Sec-
tion. A mighty campaign is being
conducted with the purpose of giving
every man with insuiance. and every
man who has unwisely dropped his
insurance. and every beneficiary who
is so vitally concerned, the cut and
dried facts. They are:

'.Why should the men keep up the
term insurance?
{ "Because it is piotection against
| both death and disability, can be car-
! ried for a premium within the reach
| of the flattest purse—(65 cents per
thousand per month at age twenty-
i one, for example)—and because
| those who carry it are going to have
! the privilege of converting It at any
' time within 5 years after the decla-
| ration of peace into the roundest.
most liberal and cheapest insurance
that was ever offered.
"It is a privilege confined abso-
lutely to Uncle Sam's uniform back-
ers, either In service or now dis-
charged. It is a reward for their
many sacrifices of time and vocation
and, sad to say, sometimes life
"Gas, exposure and combat have
taken their toll of health and many
of the boys will never get outside In-
surance. due to', their service, but
when the time comes for conversion
of Uncle Sam's. present term insur-
ance into permanent forms, if a man
still holds his term insurance, that's
all Uncle Sam wants to know about
his health. If be was physically sound
enough to get into uniform he is sound
enough to get in on Government pol-
icy.
Uncle 8am's Policies.
"Uncle Sara's policies will insure
against disability during the entire
lifetime of the Insured, a feature the
cost of which on the outside, would
be almost prohibitive. If a man be-
comes disabled to the extent that he
cannot engage in a substantially
gainful occupation, $5.75 per month
I per one thousand dollais of Insurance
is his for the remainder of his life,
no matter if he is disabled at age
| twenty-five and lives to be one hun-
dred. The Government gives this fea-
ture free, the premium charge being
based only upon the cost of death
and not disability.
"If a man reaches age sixty, he
stands one chance in two of becoming
disabled through disease, accident or
old age during the remaining years
of his expectancy of life, statistics
show, and if he reaches the age of
seventy, his chances of living the re-
mainder of his life without becoming
disabled are only one In four.
Privileges are Many.
"Some of the other privileges of
the policies are liberal cash and loan
values, paid up and extended Insur-
ance, lncontestibilijly from date of
issue, freedom from all restrictions
as to residence, travel or occupation,
! dividends from any gains and savings,
and proceeds of ail policies to be ex-
' empt from all taxation.
"Uncle Sam is going to issue six
| standard forms of policies—a policy
to meet the need of every average
: man. They are: Ordinary Life, 20-
Payment Life. 30-Payment Life, 20-
Year Endowment, 30-Year Endow-
ment naturlng at age sixty-two. His
premiums are going to be about 25
per cent lower than those of outside
j companies. Premiums will be payable
I monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or
annually.
| "If a man has dropped his term
insurance he should write immediate-
ly to the Bureau of War Risk Insur-
| ance, Washington. D. G, stating his
' full name and address, rank and or-
. sanitation at the time of applying for
I insurance, the date of his discharge
or separation from service, month
for which last premium was paid, and
ask them what to do. It is very prob-
able that he will be reinstated. If)
he has Just left the service he should
mail all failure premiums on the first
day of the month for which each pre-
mium is due to the Disbursing Clerk,
Bureau of War Risk Insurance, mak-
ing check or money order payable to
the Secretary of the Treasury. Navy

information and advice by calling upon

The war is won and we have peace
—what we fought for. We may have
made mistakes, but we were not alone
if we did. Other governments made
mistakes more serious than our own.
But qb less you can say yon could have
conducted the war without making
some mistakes you have not the right
to hinder the Victory Liberty Loan by
offering the excuse that "mistakes

Unless you could have ruTTHTTrldge

of airplanes and made tons and tons
of munitions, all of which did so much
to bring the coatly war to a close j
much sooner than expected and could
have done it better and more cheaply
than did the Government, you are not
consistent in allowing your criticism
to find voice as an argument against
your support of the Victory Liberty [

When the people of Washita county i
have stood solidly behind our soldiers ;

Of course, you want a Fordson
a^HE Fordson is an ideal
tractor for your farm. It is
built compactly, simply, yet
with abundant power. It pulls a
two bottom plow and will do a
proportionate amount of any other
farm power work.
The Fordson engine is unusual.
It is simple, easily cared for, and
so designed that the farmer can
give any attention required in ser-
vice. The entire head of the cylin-
ders, which are cast enbloc, can be
removed for grinding valves.
The air is cleaned with an im-
proved air washer. A special car-
buretor allows the use of kerosene
—without any of the trouble that
is commonly associated With this
fuel.
The Oliver No. 7 Plow wes built
for your Fordton
The Oliver No. 7 plow in addition to being specially
adapted to the Fordson tractor has all its well-known
Oliver features. It buries the weeds and trash; it is
operated from the driver's seat; the furrow is always
kept at the same depth by a special stop device; in fact,
it is an ideal tractor plow designed for that one purpose
only.

The impulse must be to ask what,
if this is all that Japan desites, there
'is to prevent a perfect argument'*'
Japan, according to the statement of
its chief representative in Paris, is'
ready to concede that the question ofi
Immigration is the domestic concern |
of every nation and in nowise con-1
ceins the League of Nations. Those:
who have objected to the proposed |
constitution on this score have asked •
no more; they have merely insisted
that the constitution be made to de-
dare what this gentleman says Ja-
pan is quite willing that It should
declare One should think, there-
fore. that It is a misunderstanding
rather than a disagicement that
holds the American and Japanese
representatives apart in this matter
But an act often gets Its signillcance
from its circumstances. .May it not
be that to de< lare that "the principle
of equity and justice is a fundamen-
tal tenet of the league would imply
that, although the United States is
within its sovetelgn right In exclud-
ing Japanese. It exercises that right
In a way which contravenes "the
principles of equity and justice?"
I Thus while the declaration which
Japan would have made would deny
| the Jurisdiction of the league of Na-
tions. it might be thought to express
I the mural condemnation of that or-
j sanitation of the treatment this
I country accotda to Japanese eini-
I grants. If this is so, the controversy
would remain one between the Unit-
1 ed States and Japan exclusively, but
it might acquire a new status which
would aid Japan in prosecuting it.
