E. Smyer. This does not r- clude war savings stamps redeemed by the postoffIces at Montgomery. efobie and the larger towns in the state. he stated Approximateley sil ,009Vo0 worth of war savings stamps were sold in the state Up to 1919, according to MT Smyer. while only about S3.0oOo00 worth of these stamps were sold during 1919 and ls2o.
 The decrease during the past two years is due to the fact that the war IS over and people do not feel that 1t IS a duty to invest in these stamps, sad Mr. Smyer. 'ln fact judging from the number redeemed in the state more than one-half the number of people have pre- fcrred to have the money rather than hold the stamps and secure the interest
 Tt is estimated that between %.09VV and $eO0f0O0 worth of rvar savings stamps have been redeemed, which IS ap- proximately one-half the sales

CHARLES RAY IN PEACEFUL VALLEY" AT THE TRIANON

It is difficult to even imagine Charles Kay. master of comedy drama, in a straight drama like Peaceful Valley" at the Trianon But Ray does apnear cast as Hosiah Howe, the country lad whose adored sister runs away to the city With an interruptions man of the world
 However, fans who see the picture are not called on to see their beloved come dian in straight drama. Ray gets by with a lot of real comedy in actual situations, and in innumerable manner isms for which he is famous. It is mas terful the way he carries all of those mannerisms, even though the most tense part of the drama. even when his sister is first missed from the home.
 But it is all done with the distinct soft ening of pathos, the queer little motions take on sadness that fits in attractively with the idea. Undoubtedly Ray is moro lovable in Peaceful Valley" than in any other production that has featured him.

The organization of committees and teams desired by Erskine Ramsay, , chairman of the Alabama division of aids cannot be completed within the time limit first designated In response to requests from many sections of tho state that more time be allowed for the completion of or ganization, Chairman Ramsay yester- day announced that instead of being launched January g. as formerly sched- uled. the official appeal for money to help save the lives of %500,0oo starving European children will not open until February 19 It will be in progress until March 6.
 During the additional time allowed for completing working organizations it is believed that these committees and teams can be completed down to the most minute detail and when the time comes for the official canvass can be depended upon to reach prac- ticaily every factory, store, office and home in Alabama, laying before the men and women the awful picture of millions of children dying for lack of the things that every day are thrown away in almost every Amer ican home.
 The organization, when completed, will embrace representatives of Prac- tically every church, educational, fra ternsl civic and women's association. society or club in the state and with this vast number of workers vitally interested in the success of the ap peal. no difficulty is anticipated in raising a big fund to help keep these helpless little children in the land of the living.
