After conversion this insurance will he known as government life insurance. . -.. The forms of policies which may be h;id iu exrhaase for the mar-time term Insurance are: Ordinary life. 2ft payment life. SO payment life. 20-year endowment, UO-year endowment and endowment payable at age ti'J. The premium rates for these converted policies are lower than those charged by private insurance companies. The pol icies contain exceedingly liberal privileges, providing for cash and loan values, paid-up and extended insurance and further providing that the insured will be paid for life a monthly income in the event that he becomes totally and permanently disabled. All of these policies are incontestable from date of issue and are free from rehtrn'nou as to residence, travel or occupation. The holders of the policies will be eligible to share in and receive dividend from sains and savings, and the proceeds of the policies are exempt from all taxation. Premiums on the new forms of government life insurance are payable monthly, but may be paid annually, semi-annually or quarterly. The monthly premium, due the 1st of each month, may be paid at any time during the month. Secretary Glass expressed the opinion that ihe unusual values and liberal provisions of the new form of ffovernment life insurance policies should encourage all holders of war-time term insurance to convert as rapidly as their financial circumstances will permit, and in any event to continue without fail the largest possible proportion of the nresent insurance.

l5k sl& 4 -p f 83 f,. AS TRUE AS THE BIBLE. County Chairman F. R. Scnaaf. at the University club 5n Gary the other night, addressing a meeting of Victory

Loan w orkers hit the nail bang on the head when he j spoke as follows ;

You, gentlemen and ladies, who aiter all are the ones who must in your respective neighborhoods be directly responsible for the succes sof the loan, must make no mistake. The mau who refuses to work for this loan or buy bonds is just as dirloyal today as he would have been on any of the other loans. All our personal veil being, all the success of our enterprises, all the happiness of our homes, all the glory of our country depend entirely on the willingness of yourself and every other citizen to enter heart and soul into the success of the Victory Liberty Loan. The people of Lake county, regardless of age, sex. religion, nationality or anything else, should let that seep

into their systems. They must look ahead into the fu-J ture, realizing that their personal well-being really de-)

pends en the success of this fifth and last Liberty Loan. Uncle Sam is going to have that money from the people. It was their war. Three million of their boys went to crush the foe at the entire disregard of their future. The

person who turns down a request for work or assistance!

from the Lake county organization, or any part of it, turns down the government, and nobody else but the government. If the government doesn't get the money n one way it will in another, and that other way won't be desirable. The new bonds are as an attractive a proposition as a man could wish for and the man, woman or child 'who 5ays one word against them or puts the slightest stumbling block in the way of the person ho is givinsr his or her time to sell them, or cause them to be sold, is DISLOYAL. That's all there is to it.

RUN 'EM OUT OF TOWN. For an exhibition of the crass selfishness born of ignorance which characterizes most of those good souls opposed to the government's efforts to make a clean nation by eradicating the venereal diseases, one should turn to that mayor of a western city whose slogan is "Run 'em out of town." That sort of stupidity has marked, for years, the spasmodic efforts of pseudo reformers to think that by driving vice out of sight it ceases to exist. Everyone, reformer and scientific sanitarian alike, are agreed that the stronghold of venereal diseases, wmuji only now we are beginning to see are such a menace to the nation, is prostitution. But to fine the prostitute or to jail her does not make her less a prostitute nor less a source of infectious dange- to the community that harbors her. "Run m out of town!"' The same cry was raised when, not long ago, a leper escaped and sought a place of refuge. He was run out of towns with shotguns, but his leprosy still persists. To those short-sighted and fearsome seekers after peace for themselves at whatever cost to others and whose creed is summed up in the slogan, "Run 'em out of town," we commend the wise warning of Lecky about the professional prostitute: On that one degraded and ignoble form are concentrated the passions that mieh' have filled the world with shame. She remains while creeds and .civilisations ri and fall, th "ternal priestess of humanity, blasted for the sins of the people. No, a scientific campaign against prostitution may be cold-blooded and irfer science to sentiment, but it can have nothing to do with any fallacious "Run 'em out of town" remedy. The message the United States public health service has to deliver is not one of condemnation, but of hope; not hate, but helpfulness.

GOMPERS ON BOLSHEVISM. Samuel Goxnpers, president of the American Fed eration of Labor, vho has earned a high place amon the world's leaders of democracy, and who probably understand present labor conditions as well as any man living;, deserve a respectful hearing from all classes when he ays: "I am absolutely opposed to Bolshevism, cither in theory or in fact. In theory it is a mental impossibility ; in fact if put into operation it would mean the decadence and perversion of the civilization of nu" times. T am unwilling: that all the progress made t j he genius of the past should be thrown to the winds. But it win be well for us to see that our own house it kept in order. There Is another element in our life which needs scrutiny. Bolshevism is not the only danger: the stand-patter and the profiteer are equally a menace. The industrial autocrat who thinfcs he is the monarch of all he surveys is th incentive for hatred and dissatisfaction which breed trouble. The war has got rid of one kind of autocracy. Russian Bolshevism reveals another kind the autocracy of r single economic class, the "proletariat" or unskilled workers. Bolshevism is as bad as Kaiserism. And just as Tad as either of them is the third type, known only too well in this country in the past, the autocracy of capital, seeking; the absolute rule of its own limited class. Happily, this type Is less common than it was before the war. It must, disappear entirely, giving way to genuine democracy In industry, if our society is to escape the opposite peril of an autocracy of unskilled labor.

UNFAIR TO HAWAII. Hawaii i woefully misunderst-wd nnd grievously w-ransred. A resident of those sunny islands breaks forth in vehement protest against things now associated with Hawaii in the public mind. He indignantly repudiates the notion that Hawaii is "a sort of tropical Eden where society and busineas are maintained by bands of grasskirted houris armed with ukaleles and where the only diversions are hula-dancing- and pie-eatine; contests." Hawaiian women,, he insists, do not "dance jazz dances in abbreviated costumes." Neither do they smoke in public. Neither do they drink. Hawaii is dry. Neither do they do any of the spectacular immodest thingthat Americans, taking the name of Hawaii in vain, do with such fervor in our various centers of civilization. It is Interesting to learn all this, and it is only simple justice to give it w-ide publication. It may be doubted, though, whether this sort of publicity will do Hawaii any good, aside from clearing her reputation. If the Hawaiian islands are really so respectable as this resident represents them, we do not foresee any great press of tourist travel thither this year. Judging from present tendencies, the average American vacationist will hie him with all the more alacrity to the aforesaid centers of civilization. He wants to jazz.

DON'T LET YOUR INSURANCE LAPSE. The other day a returned Hammond soldier was killed. When he went away to war he took out rvemment life insurance. When he came back home he aTlowed it to lapse. His family have lost f 10,000. Rvery family that has a soldier boy here or over there, at home or abroad, should take the lesson to heart. Secretary Glass has approved the regulations governing the conTerslon to standard forms of life insurance policies of all war-time term insurance taken out by soldiers and sailers since the entrance of the United States into the war.

GOV. GOODRICH'S APPEAL. An appeal to show the world that American patriotIsm is an enduring characteristic of the people of this country, and that we can fight the battles of peace as well as those of war, has beea issued by Governor Good rich in lending his whole-hearted support to the Victory Liberty Loan. His statement follows: We used to hear a great deal in the early years of the world war about German efficiency and German thoroughness. These two qualities as applied to the Teutonic system became almost household words, and held the uninitiated somewhat in awe. Then it came America's turn and our boys in the field and our citizens back horn proved to the surprise of the world that Uncle Sam has an efficiency and thoroughness unequalled by anything in the world. For these two qualities in America do not depend entirely on machine-like training and narrowness of vision. They receive their inspiration from a spirit, born and bred In the new world, a spirit with which Europe is but little acquainted. ,Our boys In khaki finished the German army in France, but the job is not ouite complete so far as the nation is concerned. There remains one more task for the folk back home, the task of putting over the Fifth and Victory Liberty Loan to a successful conclusion. Tt was on the promise of this fifth great loan that the funds were raised which put the finishing touches on the Kaiser and his war machine, and I am sure that the American peonle are going to make good the nlerleo hv over-'ubscribine fh's final Lihertv Lo8n.
