Every father who has a son in the
army of the United Statea should in-

ance. It Is a magnificent opportunity
for the boys to buy Insurance at less-
than-cost rates, when they need It
more than ever. The time in which
most of the boys can buy insurance
will soon expire. If your boy cannot
curry the full amount of insurance he
wants, help him to tske it. And,
quick action is absolutely necessary.
