and some we're of real value. In a fifty the junk hunter rushed to Park Row
to his principal with the find, receiving SIS for three envelopes from Hawaii,
The stamp dealer who bought the three old covers for SIS tried in vain to
interest his customers in them. Month after month he held them at the fixed
price Of $40 each, but none made an offer, despite their apparent rarity.
Finally came a stamp auction for the benefit of the Red Cross, and the dealer,
wishing to do his bit, contributed one of the Hawaiian covers.
To the surprise of all it brought $3.50, the buyer being a Hawaiian
specialist in Syracuse. That worthy, much interested In his gem, traced the
principal Of the junk hunter-for veifcaton of its origin. Incidentally he
asked where there were any more. Now, knowing the value of his find, the
New Yorker promptly sent the other two envelopes to the Syracuse man with
a price Of $125 for the pair.
1t was a deal. The Syracusan took them and when he died soon after
and his estate was settled the three covers we're sold again at auction, this
time bringing a trme more than 5000. OF course the hunter got a liberal bonus
from the New York dealer and there cam. to the Red Cross another check
for $3.50.

their present unfortunate citizenship

Favorable action by congress in this

RECORD CORN CROP
FOR wayne COUNTY

With a favorable season for plant
ing, farmers of Wayne county have
practically planted all of their corn.
There is a field here and there in
tended for corn that has not been
planted as yet. but they are few and
far between.
Many of the fields already show a
good stand of corn, and some have
even been cultivated and plowed for
the second time. There has been
some replanting because of corn de-
stroyed by grub worms but not more
SO than in previous years.
There has not been a season in
years." J. c. Kline,> Wayne county
agriculture agent, said, where condi-
tons have given greater promise of
an excellent corn crop. Wednesday
nights rain was a mighty good thing
and l believe we may have record
this year if the same favorable condi-
tions continue through the season.
