FOI i NEA lt EAST S li FF FUE HS. Tho fourier is ashed hy Hie Eu ropean Relief Council, of which Her bert Hoover is chairman, to open a subscription column for the receipt and acknowledgment of funds to he sent lo tho Relief Council for theil great work in the Near East, where thousands of children are suffering hundreds dying, for the barest essen tials in food. Tlie estimate is that, il proper relief is not forwarded to Hu stricken people of the Near Fast promptly and regularly for some lime to come, 11,500,000 children have thc prospect of death from .starvation he fore tlie present winter shall have passed. We have had calls innumerable ir the past few years, and we have oui own troubles to face and needs tc meet. But what is our condition ir comparison to that of these starving millions? Can we not each find a leasi a small amount to contribute tc this worthy cause? Many might con tribute liberally from their abund ance; there is not one scarcely whe cannot contribute something from hi; or her abundance. Tho quostion ls "WILL WE DO IT? Don't stop to ask what your neigh bor can do, ought to do. or will do Do your part ns you feel able ant inclined. Are tho lives of three ant a half millions of innocent childrei worth your consideration? Are yoi willing to contribute of your mean ?to alleviate suffering among thesi unfortunate poople? The citizens of Coonee have dom nobly in their response to the variou; calls for aid that have come so oftei during the recent past. This call fo help for the Near East has been ro aponded to. But the call still ring! into our ears. Can we not do stil more? Wo bellevo that wo can-an< will. To start the list under the presen call, The Courier subscribes $5.00 t< the fund to help save tho lives of tin helpless children of tile Near East. Who will be next? 1?>?1 SAVINGS OPPORTUNITIES. We have always thought that on ?f the most attractive modes of sav ing-especially for the children am those of us of small moans-is tin government Thrift and Saving Stamps. The chief, attraction tha these stamps carry, as we seo it, ? the incentivo to save small amount that would otherwise be spent fool Ashly, or at host for things that ar* by no means essentials. For the nev year we aro, therefore, inclined t. commend most strongly tho govern mont's endeavor to make persisten sa'vings possible. The new 1921 government sav ?ngs securities may now he had a post offices and through hanks, li all, live opportunities are Offered For instance, there are the $1 Treas itry Savings Stamps and the %2 re asa ry Savings Certificates. Thoa ire in addition lo the regular sav Migs securities which have been ol forod by the Knited States Treasur Department for several years. Th 25-conl Thrift Stamp and tho $ War Savings Stamp and the $10 and $ I (uni Treasury Savings Cortil! .ates will bo issued as before. The $1 Treasury Savings Slam and tho 25-cont Thrift Stamp are no interest-bearing. They are issued t Siolp people save money in snial amounts, and when enough of tho? stamps have been bought, they ma Vie exchanged, in proper ratio, for $ ?Var Savings Stamps, which hear ir ?Unrest at tho rate of 4 per cont, com pounded quarterly, if held until mn .uri ty. During January of tho present yoa ttne $5 stamp may he had for $4.15 lt will increase in value ono cor ?each month. Tho January prico c tho $25 Treasury Savings Certificat will bo $20.60, tho prico incroasln ?al tho fixed rate of flvo cents month. Tho $100 Treasury Savings Certificates may bo bought during January for $82.40. Its'monthly in crease in valuo will bo 20 cents. It is the hope of the United StatcB Treasury, according to announce ment from Washington, that tho 10 2 1 savings securities will bo bought by oven moro Investors than took ad vantage of recent and current offer ings. The $1 issue will be especially for school children, and it is hoped that it will be bought In large quan tities by mombors of school savings societlos, many thousands of which havo boon organized in thc Kifth Federal Rosorvo District ,in which our county is included THF COBB-WATK1NS WEDDING.
