War Risk Insurance. “Pm hanging to my war in surance’“ said, a returned sol dier in Atlanta the other day. “Two reasons— I can’t get any other for as little money and, as a matter of fact 1 can’t get any other at all. Can’t stand the physical examination now.’’ The soldier now discharged and back at his old work iix civ il life, showed plainly that he had tlie idea. War nsurance is good business,. It, s a good invest ment. It is the cheapest insur ance that ever was. And the dis charged soldier has five years in which to convert it into any one of a half dozen or more dif ferent types. There’s no hurry—just keep up the payments-, and consult the nearest Red Cross chapter or branch. There you can learn all about war risk insurance & its conversion into the best pos sible investment of civil life. Large Crowd Here. A crowd that nearly reached the number at the big June singing was in Cumming Satur day to pay their respects to the old and new soldiers. The principal speaker of the day was Hon. Clifford Walker of Atlanta, our Attorney-Gen eral, and they do say that Cliff made a hit with the people. Addresses were made by Col. Patterson C. L. Harris and others and a good time was enjoyed by all. There was plenty to eat for the soldiers and everybody, and people will get ready soon to have another reunion next year. Music was furnished by the Cumming Band the best in Georgia. Notice.
