FOR NEAR EAST SUFFERERS.

The Courier is asked by the Eu-
ropean Relief Council. Of which Her
bert Hoover is chairman. to open a
subscription column for the receipt
and acknowledgment Of funds to be
sent to the Relief Council for their
great work in the Near East, where
thousands of children arc suffering.
hundreds dying, for the barest essen
tials in food The estimate is that, if
proper relief is not forwarded to the
stricken people Of the Near East
promptly and regularly for some time
to come, 3,50O.000 children have the
prospect Of death from starvation be-
fore the present winter shall have
passed.
We have had calls innumerable in
the past few years. and we have our
own troubles to face and needs to
meet. But what is our condition in
comparison to that Of these starving
millions? Can we not each find at
least Il small amount to contribute to
this worthy cause? Many might con-
tribute literally from their abund-
ance; there Is not one scarcely who
cannot contribute something from his
or her abundance. The question is,
WILL WE DO 1T?
Don't stop to ask what your neigh
bor can do, ought to do. or will do.
DO your part as you feel able and
inclined Are the lives Of three and
Il half millions Of innocent children
worth your consideration? Are you
willing to contribute Of your means
TO alleviate suffering among these
unfortunate people?
The citizens Of Oconee have done
nobly in their response to the various
calls for aid that have come so often
during the recent past. This call for
help for the Near East has been re-
sponded to. But the call still rings
into our ears. Can we not do still
more? We believe that we can-and
will.
To start the list under the present
call, The Courier subscribes $500 to
the fund to help save the lives Of the
helpless children Of the Near East.
Who will be next?

1921 SAVINGS OPPORTUNITIES.

We have always thought that one
OF the most attractive modes Of saw
ing-especially for the children and
those Of us OF small means-is the
government Thrift and Savings
Stamps. The chief. attraction that
these stamps carry, as we see 1t, is
the incentive to save small amounts
that would otherwise be spent fool
ishly, or at best for things that are
by no means essentials. For the new
year we are, therefore, inclined to
commend most strongly the govern
ments endcavor to make persistent
savings possible.
The new 1921 government say
tngs securities may now be had at
all, five opportunities are offered.
For instance. there are the 81 Treas
TIry Savings Stamps and the $23
= "nasury Savings Certificates. These
are in addition to the regular saw
tngs securities which have been Of

Department for several years. The
25-ccnt Thrift Stamp and the s.
War Savings Stamp and the 500
and $1,000 Treasury Savings Certih-
Gates will be issued as before.
The 81 Treasury Savings Stamp
and the 2J-cent Thrift Stamp are not
Understanding. They are issued to
hclp people save money in small
amounts, and when enough of these
stamps have been bought, they may

 The man who planted 100 acres of cotton and fed three-fourths of it to the boil weevil is in a bad way, no matter if he does sell the remainder at 30 cents q pound.
 There are uncertain clements in the foreign market. We do not know what Germany will do next year. We do not know whether that republic will survive or collapse. We do not know what will be the state of the French market. We do not know whether Europe will be in flames or in order. The future is exceedingly uncertain.
