age, has the right, between now
and February 12, 1918, to take out
life and total-djffbihty insurance
up to #10,000 ,at " very low coat,
with the government without mod*
ical examination. This right is
purely optional. The soldiers and
skilors are not compelled to take
insurance, but if they desire to ex-
ercise the right. they must do so
before the 12th pf February, 1918.
The cost ranges from 65c monthly,
at the age of 21, to #1.20 monthly,
at the age of 51, for each #1,000 of
insurance. This is a small charge
a man’s pay—small in propor-
tion to the benefits it may bring.
The premiums will be deducted
from his pay, if he desires, thus
eliminating trouble on his part.
To provide adequate protection
until February 12, 1918, during
the period when the soldiers and
sailors are learning the details of
this law, the government automat-
ically insures each man and wom-
an, commisaioned or enlisted in
the milieary service of the United
States. It pays the man #25 a
, . month during total permanent dis-
half of his pay for their sw>- ability; if he dies within 20 ye^rs,

McCullough county is one of the
first counties along the proposed

itary Commission, which is bring
*n«d’v under the direction of the
legislative investigation committee
will not be completed until Tues-
day or Wednesday, according to
the statement Saturday night of
Representative Johnson, chairman
of the committee. An auditor,
who will examine'ihe books of the
commission, will arrive Monday
and Johnson and it would take
two or three days to complete the
audit of the books.
Hines' the investigation began,
members of the committee, em-
ployes of the United States Bu-
reau of animal industry and more
than a dozen inspectors of the (V
part men t from various parts of the
state have testified before the in-
vestigating committee. Represen-
tative Johnson said he was of the
opinion that the business of the
department was being conducted
on as efficient and economical basis
as was possible under the existing
conditions, and that he was favor-
ably impressed with the co-opera-
tio of the department. He said he
was pleased with the frank, hon-
est and open statement of the men
who had testified in the hearing.
He declared that the committee
had found absolute harmony and
co-operation existing between the
Live Htock Commission and the
United States Bureau of Animal
Industry.
Asked if the committee would
make any recommendations re-
garding the department, Chairman
Johnaou said as far as they had
gone they had found nothing that
indicated any recommendations
be made regarding this depart-
ment that would not apply to all
other edpartinents of the state. He
said he was of the opinion the com-
mittee would recommend that all
state departmnets be removed as
far as possible from the influence
of state polities, so that a reorgan-
ization of the departments would
not be necessary every two or four
years. He declared the Livestock
Commission was as free from par-
tisan politics ss it could be under
the present system and that it ap-
peared the men employed were
choeen for efficiency, as far as was
practical. 1
