NEW ISSUE TREASURY
SAVING CERTIFICATES.
Although the new issue o! the
Government'* registered Treasu-
ry Savings Certificates has been
available to the investing public
only since Saturday, December 1,
calls for these loss-proof Federal
Securities have been very heavy
locally and other Post masters in
the county report the same brisk
demand, according to Postmas-
t"r. <JJF Kltige.
"At their new prices "nnn witll
their new rate of compound in-
terest, these Securities make eve-
ry SO cents invested how produce
!.'0 cents interest in five years, re-
turning a total of $1 for every
SO cents," the Postmaster point-
ed out,
Features of the new issue Cer-
tificates were summarized as fol-
lows by Postmaster C. F. Kluge.
"There are three (maturity
value) denominations: $1,000,
$100, and $23. The $1,000 Cer-
tificates cost $800; the price of
the $100 Certificates is $80; while
the $25 Certificate sells for $20.
The difference between the "face"
and the cost of the Certificates is
interest profit at maturity. Al-
though these Securities matu-.u
five years from date of purchase,
.they can be cashed without loss
by The owner whenever he pleases.
Hold to maturity these Certifi-
cates yield 4^ per cent compound-
ed semiannually; cashed before
maturity they yield 3% per c. com-
pounded semiannually.
"They are registered against
e very form of loss and have val-
uable tax exempt features.
"Ownership is limited to $5000
^'maturity value) annually, bub
1/1 lis amount may be bought eve-
.* ■ year. Persons, minors, firms,
associations, bankp, corpora-
tions, trustees, administrators,
Judges, city governments, coun-
ty governments, school districts
«tc.', may buy and hold the $5000
fiuiit yearly. Every member of
a family may buy and hold the
limit annually.
"Invested now $4000 becomes
$5000 in five short years."
G. W. Fant, Chairman of the
[Executive Committee of the
Farm-Labor Uoion, is home to
spend the holidays. At their
"recent State convention, The
Farm-Labor Union reelected
all State Officers, and adopted a
resolution com mending them for
their work duriugtbe yeur.
Mr. Fant visited the Sun office
last Friday and extended his
subscription another year, also
th t of his daughter. He has
been a subscriber of the Su i 38
years aud always has something
good to say concerning it. We
appreciate his friendship.

WOfhcn who never before had found
It possible to attend the state fair
were present nt the West Texas Fair
r.t Abilene, Texas, this year, accord-
Its to reports received from that city
at the division headquarters of the

opportunity for resting when the sight-
seeing of the fair became too strenu-
ous.
"I never would have thought ofmona-
Ing to the fair," said one mother h ex-
pressing her appreciation of the enre
gtVen her baby at the Red Cross tent
during *one day, "If I had not known
that tho Red Cross would be here to
help me take care of my baby."
Gables of all sizes and ages were
cared for in this day nursery and dur-
ing the hour of the races there were
65 babies ilhder the charge cf the Red
Cross nurse and volunteer helpers
while their mothers cheered on the
running horses, sharing the pleasure
of their husbands in this "sport of
kings."
MIbs Mary Kennedy, Red Cross Ad-
visory Nurse for Texas, for the South-
western Division of the American Red
Cross, was present and In charge of
the tetit. The Red Cross t.nt and
First Aid station was set up by the
Abilene Clinpter and members of that
chnpter took turns In the management
and conduct of Its various depart-
ments.
The mothers who were able to enjoy
the outing of this fair were unstinted
in their praises of the courtesy, kind-
ness and Unfailing consideration of the
Rod Cross people who were In charge

NUTRITION CLASSES
BENEFIT CHILDBEN
Improvement In Health and^Dlsclpllne
and Reduction in Underftelgfu «
Result In 86hools.
Twelve hundred and sixty children
tti tho vicinity of Chteknshn, Okla-
homa, devoloped sturdy little bodies
and healthy ulert minds because of the
nutrition classes conducted under the
auspices of the Grady County Chapter
of the Red Cross last yeur. These
children were found to be underweight
d ie to malnutrition, and while in muny
cases the malnutrition was not due to
la«k of food but' to the wrong kind of
food, the results were the same.
Hot lunches of properly balanced
diet were put Into 17 Bcliools. The
t'.iildren were taught what to eat and
how to eat, that Is, how much and how
many times a day, and were encour-
aged. to eat fruit and vegetables, to
drink milk, and to eliminate coffee and
ten from their diet, and a health rule
contest by which the children were en-
couraged in the practice of outdoor ex-
ercise and personal hygiene and wol^
ventilated sleeping and living rooms
was inaugurated. Tills all made for
a general improvement In health and
Incidentally a decided Improvement in
the discipline In the school.
The percentage of underweight was
greatly reduced an<! the parents were
so much pleased with the Improvement
that they are demanding a continuance
of the program for another year.
The services at the Baptist
church last week were well at-
tended, and «ome uplendid tnes
snues were delivered by the fol-
lowing:
Bro. Fuller, of Atlanta, Mon-
day night; Bro. Duncan, Associ-
ational Missionary, Tuesday
night; Bro, Anderson, of Bloom-
burg, Wednesday night; and Bro.

who kindly took the place of Bro.

ter of the Red Cross with headquar-
ters at Okemah, Oklahoma, by several
full-blooded Creek Indluns, Miss
Beyer comes constantly in touch with'
the members of this tribe In her work
throughout the county.
It is not easy to establish Mendly
relations with the Indians for they are
suspicious. On one of her visfts to a
rural school, tte nurse discovered a
small boy of 11 who was not doing
well In school. Ills parents came to
the school to Interview the nurse. Tim'
father thought the boy had stoms.thr
trouble because he would not egt regu-
larly. A diet of ontmeal, eggs uudf
milk was outlined. The father, not
quite sure of the plan, said, "WheiV
Lee, he not want to eot breakfast,
make him." And the nurse replied
that that wos the proper thing to do.
"Hm-hm, 1 see," said the father. Now
