The farms of the country contrib­
uted about one-fourth of the man
power of the forces of the United
States engaged in the war.
It is cstimuteuwhut 1,200,000 men
who served in the Army, the Navy
and the Marine Corps were Dorn and
reared on American farms.#
A total of 4,5:19,048 men took out
War Risk insurance, their aggregate
policies totalling nearly $40,000,-
000,000, and each policy averaging
$8,700. Of tills total insurance,
service men from the farming dis-
t riots carried approximately $10,-
420,OtlO,000, and by far the greater
percentage of this insurance was
made payable to wives, mothers,
fathers and other relatives who re­
side on farms.
The average age of the men who
fell in aetion, died of wounds or from
other causes during the war, was 211
years, and because of their youth, by
far the greater percentage were un­
married men. Which explains why
4 7 per cent of the policies taken out
named mothers as beneficiaries, It!
per cent named fathers and' only 7
per cent named wives.
In the original War l!mk Act pro­
vision was made for the policies writ­
ten on service men during the war
to be continued as permanent Gov-
ernnie’ * Insurance. IV» avail them­
selves of the opportunity to convert
their War Risk insurance into per­
manent United States Government,
insurance it is necessary that the
men discharged from service con­
tinue to pay their monthly premiums,
anti* at some time during tin* five
years following tlie formal declara­
tion of peace that they convert into
a permanent policy.
From the record it appears thnt
only about 25 per cent of the men
who had Insurance during the War
are continuing to keep up their in­
surance
Tills is largely due to the
faet that the men were unfamiliar
with the provisions of the Act, or

that they have not felt financially
able to caVry their insurance at tins
time.
To guard against any man losing
his right to 'Government insurance
because of this condition the Secre­
tary of the Treasury recently issue.d
a ruling allowing every man 18
months in which he has the oppor­
tunity to reinstate his insurance after
lie lias allowed it to lapse because of
nonpayment of premiums.
This reinstatement privilege should
be clearly understood. So long as a
man is not paying tiis premiums he is
not insured. His reinstatement priv
ilege merely gives him the right to
again have Government insurance
without undergoing physical exami­
nation, and upon the payment of two
months’ premiums.
A nation wide campaign lias been
inaugurated for direct personal con­
tact with former service men through
which they may be informed of their
rights to permanent Government in­
surance, and in this campaign have
been enlisted the American Red
Gross, the Y. M. l\ A., the Knights of
Uolumbus, the Salvation Army, the
V. M. H. A., the BOJ Scouts, and nu­
merous other National social welfare
organizations. In addition more than
50,000 life insurance agents have
been enlisted. The volunteer roll
further includes thousands of bank­
ers, doctors, lawyers, manufacturers,
other business men and representa­
tives of all associations which come
In contact with discharged service
i and their dependents
Tlic former service man who lives
on the farm will be reached to a
large extent through banks which
have volunteered to serve ns clearing
houses for information on War Risk
insurance.
There are six permanent forms of
gov eminent insurance, as follows:
1. 2d-Year Endowment.
2. 20-Year Kndowment.
2. 20-Payment Life.
4 20-Payment Life.
