mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Watson, on
Third Ave. E. occurred the marriage of
Mr.. Raymond E. Coils of New York
City, and Miss Emma Lucille Watson.
Rev. J. A. Petit, pastor of the. Bsp-

presence of a few friends. After the
ceremony fine dinner was served.
Mr.. Coils is a young electrical en-
gineer who is graduate of the Teach

also has a degree from Ames, State
College. Miss Watson was one of our
best known and most highly respected
young ladies, who had college work at
Cornell college and for time taught
school, and this happy wedding ended
teaching romance. Her place in church
and best kind of social life will be hard
to fill. Many beautiful and useful
presents were given to the bride.
The happy young people left on the
9:24 train for New York City where
Mr.. Coils is employed in the electrical
engineering business. A side trip to
Niagara Falls was contemplated. They
are to live in East Orange, N. j., hav-

postoffice, in common with every
postoffice in the United States, COM
menced the task of assisting Uncle
Sam in disposing of Two Billion Dol
lars of War Savings Certificates dur
ing this month and the year 1918.
It is our understanding that the gov
ernment expects each county to alb
sorb a portion of this huge amount on
a per capita basis which gives How
ard county approximately $232,O0O to
raise by the sale of Thrift Stamps and
War Savings Certificate Stamps, the
former in the denomination of 25
cents, and the latter sold at valua-
ton in December and January next
of $4.12 each, with cost rising one
cent per month each succeeding
month. These latter stamps have a
maturity value of S. on Jan. I, 1928,
but may be redeemed at any time at
postoffices with an added value stated
upon the war savings certificates is
sued with each War Savings Certifi-
cate Stamp and based upon an inter-
est rate of 4 per cent compounded
semi-annually.
Thrift cards are provided which,
when 16 Thrift Stamps are affixed,
may be exchanged by the additional
payment of an amount ranging from
12 to % cents for War Savings Ger
tificate Stamp. The Thrift Stamps do
not earn interest.
- These ~sY AM Pass0f 0ff0EdzsA4hn man --of
small means method of assisting the
government to raise the huge amounts
necessary~to prosecute the war, and
also afforded children an excellent
opportunity to save their money and
do their bit toward helping the cOun-
try in it's time of need. For the man
of means they are most excellent
investment, the interest rate and
guaranteed value making them bet
ter investment than bonds. They are
so good an investment that the gov
ernment will not allow any person
to hold more than $1,000 of certifi-
Gates at one time.
The postoffice employees, city and
rural, are all. supplied with stamps
of both varieties, and will be pleased
to explain the matter to any one who
may wish stamps or information as
to the plan.
A S. War Savings Certificate would
make most sensible and acceptable
Christmas gift to any one.
