Editor's Note Hanford McNid er, head of the American Legion, while voicing an appreciation of oar late distinguished visitor, Marshal Foch, also gives an outline of what the American Legion hopes for the future and most significant is the strong note expressing hope for an eternal peace, a hope by the men who above all others have the right and the knowledge to speak. "It is not the things 1 want to see, it is the men, women and children especially the children for there lies the future of America." This state ment characterized the Marshal's vis it to America, where he came to pay his respects to the men who served under him and to the great American nation, in which is mixed the blood of every country in the world. He wanted to see the American people times of peace and as a great soldier who hates war to promote a real and just peace which will make future wars impossible. The great Marshal represents to us not only his own country, but every allied coun try whose armies fought under his command. It was France, Great Britain, Bel gium, Italy and our allies who, fight ing for their very existence held back the enemy while we, unprepared, strove to build our armies that we too might do our duty to civilization, and forget that we did add the men and ships and material which inspired by the leadership of the great Marshal made victory possible. The very presence of this man who commanded the greatest armies in history, those of our own men among them, did more to inspire the Ameri can people and to bind together the great friendship of the Allies than PENNSYLVANIA GIRL POSTMISTRESS AT 21 uuiiiuunuiiniUHiuuuiHiuiHiHHiituiimuiHHimiiuiuiuiiiuiiiuuiiiiiiiiiirf (01 Ex-Service Men You are to get your Oregon State Bonus this month.

APPROPOS OF SPRING We've stood the howl of winter, an endured the dismal aays, wnen the pesky zero stung us an' the grippe was everywhar, and the wea ther man so reckless, piled it on us forty ways, as we coughed and sneez ed an' shivered every time we struck the air. We carried in the fuel, an' we set around the blaze, sorter won derin' what would happen if the win ter never emit, an our mind went back to summer with its glorious fish in' days, especially the Sundays when the biggest suckers bit. . . . Now at last we're on the threshold of another joyous spring, when the sun busts all the rivets that has helt the clouds together, an' she'll warm the laugh in' waters as they tinkle down the streams, sorter chordin' with the red bird as he sings about the weather. Then rally round the pancakes, an' the luscious maple sap a man could preach a sermon on the early mess of greens. The bluebells an' the butter-cups are wakin' from their nap it's time to dig the sassafras an' plant our kidney beans. SILENCE IS THE YELL OF THE I SCHOOL OF fff' EXPERIENCE-. ' N, V PjKe shall not forget. A Force For Good. Composed of men and women who know what war means and not as pacifists, but with open eyes and hard earned experience, we intend to do everything within our power to ce ment together the great allies who fought that war might not come again. There is no surer guarantee to the peoples of the world that our victory may indeed be victorious and bring security to those who come after us. Every man and woman in the American Legion has no other de sire than to build our organization into such a wonderful force for good and tie it so strongly into our nation al existence that it can accomplish these things. The strength of the Legion is in the individual post and the men who compose it. It is to do them honor that this great leader of men came to their communities. It has natur ally been our duty in fighting the bat tles for the disabled veteran and for all the ex-service men and women to ask things of the American people. We have now brought them some thin? that we hope and believe will be of the greatest inspiration toward their future welfare. The simple, wonderful character of this man whom we brought to you we believe has impressed itself upon America. He has looked into the faces of our people and found them cood. and he has taken back the mes sage he read there that the allies of vesterday are the allies of to-day and that they shall be the allies of tomorrow.

'Jj2j Life insurance in this country started commercially about eight)' years ago. From nothing, in eighty years it has grown to an insurance in force of fifty billion dollars and the reserve liabilities of the companies with the surplus held for contingen cies amounts to over seven billion dollars. The question arises why has it taken eighty years for the public to come to the realization of its value and necessity. The idea was just as good eighty years ago as it is now The performance was decidedly n- fenor. Starting with little insurance knowledge and a natural fear of the unknown, policies were hedged about with restrictions both as to residence travel and occupation and as to the privileges of surrender if payment ceased which while considered neces sary at the time and only abolished hy gradual changes, certainly must have interfered with its early popu arity Besides this gradual improvement in the conditions surrounding any and all policies, refinements have come in the plans of policies so that whereas, eighty years ago you were expected to buy a certain kind of pol icy whether it suited your particular ltuation or not, now the policies have been fitted to all conceivable situa tions, and the agents, from being a class of men who learned one story and told it agnin and again, have come to be a highly specialized line of experts, whose business it is to sell each man the policy which seems to be most fitted to his wants as they and he see them The Best Customer. The commonest demand for insur ance comes of course from the mar ried man who must protect his wife and children against the contingency of his untimely death. In the old days legally take and receive testamentary legacies, irrespective of a bnancial interest on the part of said corpora tion in the life of the person or per sons insured. As To Business. Insurance may also be used for numberless business purposes. A good man's credit is strengthened at the bank by the carrying of a sub stantial amount of life insurance. Corporations and firms insure the lives of their officers or partners for the benefit of the firm or corpoation, thus mitigating the loss which would be entailed by the death of an in dispensable officer or partner. Even the richest men can no long er plead that they have no need for insurance. Many states have lost heavily in their settlement because of disadvantageous sales of part of their estates, which had to be made in or der to pay inheritance taxes and other charges. A sufficient amount of in surance will obviate any loss and will enable the executors to settle up mat ters and not be obliged to make any forced sales. Companies have also of late years begun to issue what is known as group insurance whereby large bod ies of men, such as the employes of a single company, can all be insured at the esame time and cither for the same or varying amounts according to the length of service or the amount of salary. These men are alt accept ed, no matter what their condition, as the risk is looked at as a whole pnd it has become pretty well estab lished that any working force in reas onably healthy conditions will give about the same rate of mortality that a picked line of personal applicants will show. Behind the Promise. What now is behind all these prom ises. First, a body of men trained in the business, interested in the bus iness and in its usefulness and anx ious to serve; next, a gradually ac cumulated reserve liability, scientific ally calculated on the basis of the mortality table and compound inter est; and third, gradual expansion of eighty years and all the lessons learn ed by the way. No sort of business has shown so great safety as life in surance. Many companies have gone out of existence, either through amal gamation or reinsurance in their ear ly years, but few have gone out of existence after a successful career of twenty-five years. The influenza epi demic, a more severe test of thn;r strength than any that has heretofore cccurred left them w'll' diminished surplus but with increased regard from the public both as to their use fulness and strength. They are a safeguard to the state in that they encourage saving and distribute pro perty when and as most needed. A man with a life insurance policy is very rarely a destructive agency. By owning one he becomes a partner in great enterprises. He must not des troy these enterprises. A well insured community is safe morally, political ly, economically and financially.

Suppose we live for fifty years we have only 18,250 days to accomplish. If we start work in' at fifteen then we chop off 5,475 days an' we have 12,775 left. If we rest on Sundays but work on all the holidays and never get sick we have only 10,175 days; so you see if we want even a hundred thousand bucks when we're fifty, we have to save up about ten a day without a min ute's let up. No wonder some folks wonder what kind of work a fellow docs when he makes a million in a year or two. Anyhow we haven't got much time for scandal monging, have we? wife in the event of his death. This lump sum coming into her hands was frequently unwisely invested or squandered. The common way at pre sent is to leave an income to one's wife payable for twenty years cer tain, which should take pretty good care of the children during their minority, and as long thereafter as the beneficiary shall live. A Man's Old Age. Men may also provide for the com fort of their own old age as well as the comfort of their families in case of their death by buying a policy ma turing at, say, age sixty-five and pay able in instalments in the same man ner. If such a policy is taken out at an early age, the premium is not much greater than for the ordinary life. When to this policy is added a provision indemnifying for loss of time or more thah two weeks for any illness or accident, and in case of disability, the keeping of the policy in force without further payment of rremiums by the insured, a man's family and personal affairs are cov ered about as completely as possible.
