A REAL MAN
It is pretty hard to assert your independence
and defy the world when you have an empty
slomach and an empty pocket book. If your
bluff is called, (lien what?
The prudent man who has saved a little, who
has a reserve at the bank to tide him over a
month or two, isn't so afraid of sickness, nor
such a coward about being out of a job. A
bank account is a sVimulant to real manhood.
The larger the account the firmer the footing.
It breeds self-confidence, is proof of efficiency
and is an ever-present resource in time of
need. It's not what a man earns in a ear
that gives him a surplus at the bank, it's
what he saves.

School of Agriculture
Opens October 12
The great world war is expected to
interfere but little with the attendance
at the School of Agriculture at the
University Farm next fall. According
to Prof II. E. Bradford, prlnclnol.
most of the boys who attend this school
arc under 21 years of age and conse
quently are not subject to the selec
tive draft. It is thought that some of
these boys may till the places of older
men called to the colors but that the
decrease will not be marked. The
school opens October 12. Full infor
mation as to entrance requirements
will be sent upon application to the
School of Agriculture, Uuiversity
Farm, Lincoln.

The fifth and final payment, or thirty
per centum, on Liberty Loan Bonds
purchased on installments is due on

statement of terms and conditions of

by Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
at the time subset iption to the bonds
was invited the payments must be

Whether tho Liberty llonds were
purchased from the Treasury or from
the Federal Reserve Hanks or through
other banks or agencies it is import
ant that this installment be paid
promptly.

Draft Lads To Go Light
Washington, D. C, Aug. 21. Loving
mothers, sweethearts and kind friends
must not load drafted men with a lot
of clothes and comforts when they
tart to camp September fifth, Provost
Marshal General Crowder ruled today.
The 200,100 boys entraiuing for car
tonments will be allowed to take very
little. Trunks are absolutely taboo.
Suit cases and hand bags will be frowc
eu upon
The war department prefers that
each man bring only necessary toilet
articles and one change of linen and
underclothing, done up in a neat, small
bundle
This is because strict attention will
be given the military appearance of
the boyb from the moment they it-port
at headquarters of their local board.
The department wishes It understood,
however, that it is as necessary that
the boys bring the articles mentioned
as it is that they bring nothing more.
Membefa of each man's local board'
will inspect ills ktt just before he en
trains, rejecting every tiling that has
no place therein and returning the
surplus to his relatives.
"These men," said a draft otllclal
here today, "are not going on n vaca
tion trip. They ate going to study
the business of war. They will be sup
plied with all necessary clothiug and
equipment when they get to camp."
According to the regulations all a'iy
man can take is a tooth brush, a piece
of soap, collapsible drinking cup, a
towel, a few handkerchiefs, an extra
shirt, a suit of underwear and a pair
of socks.

Insuring Our Fighting Men.
The plan of Sccrctnry of the Treas
ury McAdoo for life nnd indemnity
insuianco for the soldiers and sailots
of the United Stutcs, after discussions
by icpresentativc insurance men and
report on by advisory committees, has
been put in definite form and sub
mitted to President Wilson.
The President's comment was as
follows:
"I have examined the enclosed
papers very carefully nnd take pleas
ure in letuming them with my cntiic
approval."
A bill has been inttoduced in con
giess along the lines suggested by
the Secietary of the Tteasury and
approved by the Piesident.
In essentials it is proposed that the
government furnish at cost to the
soldiers and sailors of the United
States life and indemnity insurance.
The main featuies of the Secre
tary's plan are that the government
shall bear all the cost of the adminis
tration of the insurance plan and that
no expense of any kind shall be a
charge on the funds cicated by the
payment of picmiums by the soldiers
and sailors. Relieved of over-head
charges, eight dollars a year for
every thousand dollars insurance will
be an adequate charge, under the
plan, and this figure will put the max
imum insurance of ten thousand dol
lars within the reach of piactically
every private soldier or sailor. In
surance in private companies would
cost many times this sum for men
actually engaged in warfare.
After the war the insurance may be
converted into other forms. The
insurance is to be payable in install
ments, is non-assignable and free
from the claims of creditors of the in
sured or of the beneficiary, and is
limited to the wife, children and other
specified kindrtcd.
If total disability lesults or disease
is conti acted in the course of service,
the compensation is to be based on
percentage of' pay, with a minimum,
however, of from forty to seventy
five dollars a month according to the
size of the family. Taitial disa
bilities are to be computed on a basis
of percentages of total disability.
Medical, surgical and hospital
treatments, supplies and appliances
arc to be given. Rehabilitation and
ic-cducation of the injured soldiers or
sailors, fitting them for lives of activ
ity and usefulness is a pait of tho
plan.
The plan also contemplates ftee
allowances to the families of soldiers
and sailors tho government supple
menting the sums set aside by the sol
diers and sailors out of their wages.
Tho insuiance is not to be a gift of
the government but is to be paid for
out of the pay of the insured men.
The government, however, is to take
upon itself the cost of collecting and
administering the funds and also the
extra hazaid caused by the war, the
late of eight dollars per thousand be
ing a noihinl late in peace time and
an entirely inadequate rate for war
risk.
The workmen's compensation laws
and the experiences of insurance com
panies in this country and the laws
and experiences of other countiies
have been studied and used in tho
picparation of this bill.
Secretary McAdoo emphasizes the
justice and rightfulness of such a
function of the government by citing
the fact that in this war we aie not
telying upon the volunteer system but
ate drafting American men and com
pelling them to undergo danger and,
if necessary, make the supreme sacri
fice for their country. A higher ob
ligation, he says, thetefore rests upon
tho government not only towards the
fighting men but towards those de
pendent upon them and a just, gen
eious and humane government should
see to it that so far as is practicable
they should be given this protection
'notMrik' a' matter of mercy or icHarity
hut as a matter of right. Aiid that
they should enter into the service of
their country with the certain know
ledge that if death or misfortune
comes to them they and their depend
ents are protected by insurance af-
foided them by their government as
pait of the compensation for the ser
vice they arc rendering their country.
In conclusion, Secretary McAdoo
points out that while this plan may
call for considerable expenditures at
ptesent, yet the eventual cost to the
government of this plan will be very
much less than that which would re
sult from the adherencet to the present
pension program of tho country, and,
fuither, that the pension system will
not provide tho same benefits nor
cover the subject in the same com
prehensive, humane and equitable
way.
There is no use to which the funds
derived from the sale of Liberty Loan
Bonds can be put which will be more
cordially approved by the people of
the country than to provide this just
and deserved protection to the men
who are braving all the dangers of
this war on land and sea in the ser
vice of their country.
