AN-EARLY-CBANGE WAR IN SURANCE SEEMS ADVISABLE .Choice of Six i ypes Policies .Given Insured by Government. Rates Will Be Lower Than Those of Insurance Companies and Liberal Terms. The matter of conversion of the present War Risk Insurance is of ut most importance. The date for the beginning of conversion has not yet been set, but as soon as the President officially declares peace or Congress passes a special act authorizing con version, it will be possible for all per sons who are carrying Government In surance to convert it into the new types of policies. It is expected that the date for the beginning of conver sion will be about June 1st or perhaps earlier. In order to be able to convert the) War Risk Insurance, it is necessary to keep up payments on the present Insurance. These payments should be made each month by certified check or Money Order made payable to the Treasurer of the United States, or forwarded to the Disbursing Clerk, Bureau of War Risk Insurance, Wash ington, D. C. If the payments are not made within the month the Insur ance automatically lapses, but it may be re-instated upon payment of back premiums, provided the individual can show evidence of insurability. The certificates of any reputable physician will be accepted as evidence of insura bility. The Insurance may be re-in stated at any time within six months, but after that it is lost entirely. It is not necessary to convert the Insurance immediaely but it is ad visable to convert as quickly as prac ticable, in order to take advantage of the lowest possible premium. The in sured has five years in which to con vert, and he must not exceed that period of time if he wishes to retain his insurance. It is not necessary to convert the Insurance into any one particular policy. The insured may carry his Insurance in several differ ent types of policies if he wishes, and he may convert into these policies at different times, and in any amount from $1,000.00 on, in multiples of • $500.ih> the only requirement being that he must convert during the period of five years. If the insured elects to wait a year or two before converting his Insurance, he will simply continue to make the premium payments as he >3 at present until such time as he feels he can convert. \ The Government is going to con tinue to carry the Insurance after it is converted. The cost of carrying the Insurance will be borne by the Govern ment and for that reason the rates on these policies will be considerable lower than regular Life Insurance companies granting similar policies. The premiums on the new policies will always remain the same there being no increases from year to year as on the present form of Insurance. The Government is offering six types of policies: Ordinary life; 20 pay life; 30 pay life; 20 year endow ment; 30 year endowment; and an en dowment policy which matures at the age of 62. These policies are similar to policies of the same type issued by regular Life Insurance Companies. The premium on these policies may be paid monthly, quarterly, half year ly or yearly, as desired, and the in sured may change from one method of payment to another at any time he chooses to do so. If paid monthly, the premium will be due on the first of the month, but may be paid any time dur ing the month. Policies may be reduced at any time, but not increased. There will be no medical examina tion required when converting to the new forms of policies. There is no restrictions as to occu pation, residence or travel. The proceeds of all policies are non taxable. The Insurance is unassign able and free from the claims of creditors. Dividends will be paid on these policies annually. These dividends may be taken in cash or deducted from the premium, or may be left with the Government to accumulate at com pound interest. Cash values on these policies are provided and the full value may be ob tained at any time, after the end of the fiist year. Loans may also be made on the policies up to 94 per cent of the cash value. In the event the insured finds it necessary to lapse his policy, he may take paid-up Insurance, extended In surance or may receive the actual value of the policy in cash. However the disability clause is no longer ir force when the option of paid-up In surance or extended Insurance is taken. In case of death, all policies are payable to the beneficiary in 24C monthly installments. The endow ment policies are payable to the in sured in a lump sum, if he lives oul the period of the endowment. All policies contain a disability clause which provide for payments t< the assured in the event of total anc permanent disability. The insurec will receive during the peri'.d of total disability, $5.75 a month for each $1,000.00 of Insurance carried. If the insured lives less than 20 years, after disability, his beneficiary Will receive the remaining payments necessary to complete the 20 years. Anyone having questions which are not covered by the above letter, may communicate with the Navy Recruit ing Office, 500 Paxton Block, Omaha, Nebr., and any information will be freely given. ‘The Price of Peace” Film The great war educator, contains the pictorial record of the first American attack at Chateau Thierry, and the spectator sees the American soldiers drive back the Germans, when it seemed almost impossible to check their advance. ^ This picture also shows a spec tacular air battle in which the Ger man airplane is destroyed and this particular feature gives an opportunity to see a German aviator in action. A field piece and its crew are shown on the screen and a moment later it is completely wiped out by an exploding shell, by the enemy gun. At the end of the picture the American Soldier is “registered” keeping watch on the Rhine. Activi ties of the army, navy and airforces are shown in "The Price of Peace.” The American Soldier is seen from the time of enlistment in the service until he crosses the Rhine. It shows his'training preparatory to going to France, his embarkation, life on the transport, his debarkation and then he is shown in actual battle for peace. Because the men who really fall are dead, is why “The Price of Peace” is considered one of the greatest spe ctacles inthe history of motion pictures. This is a five-reel film to be shown in the Royal Theatre, Monday afternoon, May 5th, beginning at 1:30. Be sure to see the first of it. Also speaking by prominent men. This is free to the public. If you remember the time when Ben Harrison said, “A dollar a day is enough for a laboring man,” you will be interested in the following: New York.—Louis Wokal, laborer in the steam roller gang of the Flush ing street pavers is hauled to and from the scene of his daily toil in his own automobile by his own chauffeur, and has $100,000 in the bank. ■Ml 1 4J"J| .. .'I'lajj'wi COMING TO O’NEILL United Doctors’ Specialist Will be at the NEW GOLDEN HOTEL Honday, May 5th ONE DAY ONLY Hours 10 A.
