GOVERNMENT INSURANCE
Time for Reinstating: Lapsed Polici*
extended to Eighte*n Months
The farmers of the country cc
tributed about one-fourth of the ma
power of the forces of the Unite
States engaged in the war.
It is estimated that 1,200,000 me
who served in the army the navy ar
the marine corps were bom and rea
ed on American farms.
A total of 4,539,048 men took 01
war risk insurance, their aggregal
policies totalling nearly ?40,000,UUti
000, ana each policy avereging $1
700. Of this total insurance, servi<
men from the farming districts ca
ried approximately $10,420,000,00
and by far the greater percentage <
this insurance was made payable 1
wives, mothers fathers and other n
latives who reside on farms.
The average age of the man wl
fell in action, died of wounds or froi
other causes during the war was ?
years, and because of their youth, t
far the greater percentage were unn .
ried men. Which explains why 47 p<
cent of the policies taken out name
mothers as beneficiaries, 16 per cei
named fathers and only 7 per cei
named wives.
In the original war risk act prov
sion was made for the policies wri
ten on service men during the wart
be continued as permanent Goven
ment Insurance. To avail themselve
of the opportunity to convert the
war risk insurance into permanei
United States Government Insurant
it is ecessary that the men discharj
% - 4
ed Irom service continue w wit.
monthly premiums, and at some tim
during the five year's following th
formal declaration of peace that the
convert into a permanent policy.
Frori the record it appears thi
only about twenty-five per cent of tfc
men who had insurance during th
war are continuing to keep up the;
insurance. This is largely due to th
fact that the men were- unfamilia
with the provisions of ine Act, or thz
they have not felt financially able 1
carry their insurance at this time.
To guard against any man losin
his right to Government Insurant
because of this condition the Secretai
of the Treasury recently issued
ruling allowing every man eightee
months in which he has the opporti
nity tc reinstate his insurance aft<
he has allowed it to lapse because <
non-payment of premium. ,
This reinstatement privilege shoul
be clearly understood. So long as
man is not paying his premiums 1

is not insured. His reinstatement
privilege merely gives him the right
s to again have Government Insurance
without undergoing physical examiin
nation, and upon the payment of two
months premium.
[(l A nation wide campaign has been
inaugurated for direct personal con>n
tact with former service men through |
|(j which they may be informed of their;
r rights to permanent Government Insurance,
and in this campaign have'
u been enlisted the American Red Cross,
t the Y M. C. A., the Knights of Col-'
! _ umbus, the Salvation Army, the Y. j
^ M. C. A., the Boy Scouts, and num-:
erous other national social welfare!
te
organizations. In addition more than j
y 50.000 life insurance agents have been j
^ enlisted. The volunteer roll further j
, includes thousands of bankers, doc-!
I
^ tors. lawyers, m&nutacturers, otner
business men and representatives of
all associations which come in con10
|Ti tact with discharged service men and |
their dependents.
The former service man who lives j
l\
on the farm will be reached to a |
' large extent through banks which j
,' have volunteered to serve as clearing |
^ houses for information on war risk 1
^ ' insurance.
There are six permanent forms of!
j. government insurance, as follows: j
1. 20?Year Endowment.
0 2. 30?Year Endowment.

Mrs. Truluck Hurt
_________ ?
Mrs. Chalmers Truluck is seriously
injured as a result of an automobile
collision last Sunday while she and
her husband were returning to Olanta
after having spent the day with
her mother at Lake City. It seems
i that their machine was running about
30 miles an hour when they met R.
E. Tarte running at about 15 miles
per hour. Mr. Truluck held to the
left side of the road and Mr. Tarto
expecting that he would take the
right held to his right, it being impossible
for him to get out of the
road as there was a ditch on his side.
Both machines are badly damaged.
Mr. Tarte is greatly worried over the
accident, but he is generally held
blameless for it.
