En dowment maturing at age 62. Will the nv*.es t>rr niv con verted policy be higher than the rates on my present policy, if so, why' Ans. They will be higher be cause you purchase a policy which has more privileges in it i.o. Cash value, loan value, paid-up, aud extended insurance rates. But these rates, namely, oil. converted policies, will be from 25 to_ 3i per cent lower than the rates for .similar poli- cies in-private companies’. The reason that the Government is able to sell you this insurance cheaper than the private com panies is that it bears the entire expenses of running the business and gives you the benefit of the net cost of the insurance. 9. What are (L) loan values, (2) cash values, (3) pwd-up, and (4) extended insurance rights? - L_ Ans. A loan value means that the insured-Ji as the right to secure from the government a loaii on the security of the pol icy. He may secure this loan at any time after his policy lias been iu force for oue year ; pro vided premiums have been paid up tq date. But the amount that lie borrows from the gov ernment bears interest at the rate of 6 per cent. The amount which lie can borrow is stated in the policy. (2) Cash value ' means that tiie insured has the right to sur render his policy to the govern ment and receive in- return a certain amount of niouey known as tl»e “C-sh value.’' . a policy for a lower amount but on which he will pay t\o more premiums. (4) Extended insurance means that if the insured pays his insurance after he hr scon- verted it, he will be insured for a certain specified period (or the full amouut of the insurance; and.if lie dies within that limi ted time the policy will be paya ble to bis beneficiary. TO W»I1 tlip converted |>oli- cies' be called “participating’’ po’icies on which dividends will be paid? Ans. Yea. Converted poli cies will participate in dividends “from the gains and savings as may be determined and appor tioned.”:* Such dividends “may be taken in cash or left on de posit to accumulate at present. ” jj Will it be possible to con tinue a part of a man’s insurance on the present form aqd convert the remainder? Ans. Yes. If you have not money enough to pay the con certed rates on the full amount of your policy, convert part of it and continue the rest on the present plan. Do npt lapse any (jwed tlut to j*our faiitii it- IHI* lop*} r 4*5 •at me ) Paid-up jk>li:y. means of it .under any circumstances. Keep full $10,00 protection if you possibly can.
