New Orleans An accidential but no less effective aid in the “Keep money at home” movement, is now benefitting this section in the fact that the postotfices will no longer accept money orders des tined to either Serbia or Greece. The postoffice’s only reason for this is that it cannot make the de livery owing to war conditiois. The practical results is to keep thousand of dollars monthly in Georgia which would otherwise be sent to the old country. In this state, and in surrounding states, there are thousand of in telligent hard-working Greeks and native ot other Balkan states, who are not only becoming prop erty owning citizens, but who at the same time are sending small money orders home regularly to relatives or familys in the old country, for a time at least they will have to keep all their surp lus money here. t OR SUPT.
