NEW ISSUE OF
 CERTIFICATES
 NOW PLANNED

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-Two en- tirely new United States government securities will be issued in 1921. They are $1 Treasury Savings Stamp and a $25 Treasury Savings Certificate The decision to issue these securities comes as ruling of the savings cam- paign carried on by the treasury de- partment during the present year in industrial plants throughout the coun- try. This campaign has demonstrated that workers like a $1 unit for saving and that they also are seeking an investment security of the $25 de- nomination.
 The new $1 saving stamp will be bright red in color imprinted on green tint and will bear the head of Alex ander Hamilton. This is the first time that the first secretary of the treas ury has been fittingly honored by hay ing his portrait on a government sav- ings security.
 The new s25 savings certificate will be similar in design and terms 1 to the treasury savings certificates of $1oO and s1,oO0 maturity value, al- though of different color. The 25-cent thrift stamp and the 1 S5 savings stamp have obtained so strong foothold in the schools of the nation that their issue will be con- tinued in 1921, not only to encourage saving and wise investment. but also to give American youth the oppor- tunity of becoming an active partner in the great business of his or her na- tional government. This should go far to create habits of financial strength and practical patriotism throughout the nation.
 The 1921 savings stamp of $5 ma turity value will be larger in size than the 1920 issue, will be orange in color and will bear the portrait head of Lin coin.
 The treasury savings certificates of | $100 and $1,000 maturity value also | will be continued in 1921. They are mcnts of small trusts and surplus funds or surpluses, as they are not subject to marketprice flHctuation, and are being extensively used for the investment of surplus funds of unions. fraternities and other organ ization, subject to the limitation to holdings of S1,O00 maturity value of any one series.
 Plans are actively under way 10 make the influence of the treasury savings movement felt in every branch of American life To this end the three functions of the savings or ganization, namely the development ket for all war issues of government securities; the sale of treasury saw , ings securities; the making perma- nent the habits of regular savings and investment in the United States gov. ernment securities will be intensified.
 Despite the comparatively small sales of savings securities in 1920, due to obvious conditions, the treas, ury department feels that the work done by the savings division in pro. noting habits of thrift and saving; P in keeping war savings securities in tho hands of investors and in ac, quainting the people with the desir ability of holding their liberty bonds and victory notes and purchasing ad ditional amounts at current market prices. has been one of the most important factors in the bettering of national financial conditions. The treasury department earnestly asks for the saving movement in 1921 the cooperation of all who be- lieve in national thrift and in the benefits of universal and wise invest ment.
