u jfi i v Yellowstone Park For Your Vacation 90 Round Trip from Athena Avoid the Rush For War Risk Insurance Expiration For War Insur ance as Set is July 2. Urging World War veterans of this community, and state to avoid ine inevitable last-minute rush of war- risk- insurance re-instatement, Ken neth L. Cooper, Portland Kegionai Manager of the U. S. Veterans' Bur eau is giving last minute warning that July 2 of this year is the last day that government insurance will be available. He asks that those en titled to government policies, by rea son of having had war insurance, take action in this matter at the earliest i possible moment in order that every applicant may be taken care of. "The expiration date set by Con gress for reinstatement of war in surance is only about one week off," said Mr. Cooper. "There are hundreds of ex-service men in this state ho intend to take advantage of this government benefit before July 2, a3 shown by requests for blanks and forms. Action should not be delay ed until the last minute. -There is bound to be a rush of applicants dur ing the last two or three days. Therefore, it is urged that action on this matter be taken now. "The privilege of converting term insurance, now held by thousands of veterans throughout the country, in to the five-year level-premium or one of the permanent government policies is also limited to July 2. Six forms of endowment and life policies arc- available. The fact the private in surance companies highly endorse these policies show their value. Vet erans who are hesitating to re-instate because of financial reasons should consider the five-year policy which allows conversion to a permanent policy at a later date." Application blanks and instructions may be secured from the local Red Cross chapter, American Legion post or by letter from the Regional Office of the Veterans' Bureau, WoodLark Building, Portland, Oregon.

Where Husbands Need to Watch Their Step Another reason for not yielding to the temptation of living in a Serbian town called Velik Klkinda lias been produced In the Italhin press.

From across the frontier though which frontier the Italian paper does not say they procure strong poisons, which are unobtrusively slipped Into their husbands' food or drink. As soon as the existence of the secret society became public, many husbands and prospective husbands left town.
