Governor McKelvie urges a cooperative market reform using the slogan Work and Save. He backs public meetings, pamphlets on co operative laws, and voluntary consumer co operatives to buy and distribute staples like potatoes eggs butter and meat, aiming to reduce prices without state subsidies.
New orders from the director of the Bureau of War Risk Insurance, with Treasury approval, expand options to reinstate lapsed insurance. Reinstatement now allows two months' premium within three months of discharge without health statements, later requiring health confirmation. A blanket rule lets all ex servicemen reinstate by December 31, 1919, if in good health and paying two months' premium, with credits for excess prepaid premiums applied to future payments.
