TWO NEW SECURITIES
 TO BE |SSUEDBYU US. :
 GOVERNMENT IN 1921

Washington, D. C., Dec. 10.-Two entirely new United States Govern ment securities will be issued in 1921. They are a $1 Treasury Savings Stamp and a $25 Treasury Savings Certificate. The decision to issue these securities comes as result of the savings campaign carried on by the Treasury Department during the present year in industrial plants throughout the country. This cam paign has demonstrated that workers like $1 unit for saving and that they also are seeking an investment security of the $25 denomination.
 The new $1 Savings Stamp will be bright red in color imprinted on green tint and will bear the head of Alexan- der Hamilton. This is the first time that the first Secretary of the Treas ury has been fittingly honored by having his portrait on a Government Savings security.
 The new $25 Savings Certificate will be similar in design and terms to the Treasury Savings Certificate of $1O0 and 5000 maturity value, al- though of different color.
 The 25-cent Thrift Stamp and the $5 Savings Stamp have obtained so strong foothold in the schools of the Nation that their issue will be continued in 1921, not only to en- courage saving and wise investment, but also to give American youth the opportunity of becoming an active partner ir the great business of his or her National Government. This should go far to create habits of fi- nancial strength and practical patrio- tism 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 Lincoln.
 The Treasury Savings Certificates of .$100 and 5000 maturity value also will be continued in 1921. They are peculiarly adaptable for the in- vestment of small trusts and surplus funds or surpluses, as they are not subject to market-price fluctuation, and are being extensively used for the investment of surplus funds of unions, fraternities and other organizations, subject to the limitation to holdings of 5000 maturity value of any one series.
 Plans are actively under way to make the influence of the Treasury Savings Movement felt in every branch of American life. To this end the three functions of the Savings Organization, namely, the develop ment and protection of the secondary market for all war issues of Govern ment securities; the sale of Treasury Savings securities; the making per manent the habits of regular savings and investment in 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; in keeping War Savings securities in the hands of investors and in ac- quainting the people with the desira- bility of holding their Liberty Bonds and Victory Notes and purchasing additional amounts at current market prices, has been one of the most inn portant factors in the bettering of national financial conditions.
 The Treasury Department earnest ly asks for the Savings Movement in 1921 the cooperation of all who be- lieve in national thrift and in the benefits of universal and wise invest ment.
 San. Francisco, Dec. 10.-Heads of Boy Scouts councils throughout the Twelfth Federal Reserve District are in receipt of letters from Theodore Hardee, Director of the Government Savings Organization for the Twelfth Federal Reserve District, thanking the Boy Scouts of the West for their work in furthering the cause of Thrift through sales of Thrift and War Say |ngs Stamps and Treasury Savings Certificates during and after the war. Director Hardee's letter fol- lows recognition directly from Pres ident Wilson to one Boy Scout in each state of the Twelfth District for his record sales of Government Thrift | Securities during the war.
 Replies from heads of Scout coun- ,ils assured Director Hardee that the !, Scouts will continue to spread the gospel of Thrift and aid the Govern nent during 1921 in the sale of Thrift md Savings Stamps and Treasury Savings Certificates.
