SALE OF WAR STAMPS
 WILL BE CONTINUED

Commencing January l the new se- ries of war savings stamps, known as the 1919 series, will be on sale, and will mature January ]. 1924. The sale of the 1918 series ended on De- cember 31st, and postmaster and agents of the second class have re- ceived supplies of the new stamps and have them for sale. The January price of the new w. s. S. is $4.12 each, and this price will advance one cent each month. They will be blue instead of green, and are slightly smaller in size than the 1918 series, of which nearly $4,000,000 worth were sold in Arizona.
 New cards, on which the new stamps are to be stuck, have been pre- pared, and no 1919 stamps should be placed on a 1918 card. If 1918 war savings certificate has been only part ly filled, it is perfectly valid and each stamp will be redeemed for $500 at maturity.
 The treasury department has plans in progress for continuing the cam paign of thrift during the year, and these plans will be made known in due course. In the meantime, the government urges that the people continue to invest as much as they can of their savings in war savings stamps.

POTATO MARKETING
 IN COCONINO COUNTY

The marketing of the potato crop furnished a leading project this year for the farm bureau in Coconino coun- ty, Ariz. A marketing committee, with the assistance of the county agent, has established better repu- tation for the potatoes in this county and has graded all tubers to conform to the United States Mo- 1 grade. A year ago no attempt was made to grade potatoes, but meetings were held and the farmers were acquainted with grades that were necessary to bring a top price on the market. A business house was induced to handle the regulation sorter and grader, and many have been sold to the farmers. This fall 90 per cent of the farmers graded, which means a better pack and a conservation of labor. Grading was taken up with the buyers. Sam pie sacks were opened, and if too large a per cent passed through the screen, the rest were re-sorted at the farmers expense. In some cases this was a costly expe- rience, but a good reputation and a standardized produce, meaning a good are considered as recompense. u. s. Dept. Agriculture Bulletin.

While the report of the loss of cat tie in the Colter lake was true as far as given last week, it seems it did not go far enough. We have since learn ed that about 100 head out of herd of 250 crowded out on the ice and broke through. Forty-six of them be- came chilled and died where they went down, but cowboys pulled the rest out and later ten of those rescued died, making the total loss 56 head. From a financial standpoint this amounts to a small fortune. Senator Golfers hard luck is greatly deplored by his Apache county friends.-St. Johns Ob- serveer.

CIVIL SERVICE EMPLOYES
 WILL BE REINSTATED

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 15.-- Anticipating the time when men who left the Federal classified civil ser vice to take up arms in defense of the country would be mustered out and, therefore, seeking employment, the United States Civil Service Commis- sion recommended to the President that provisions be made for the rein statement in the civil service of such men. Accordingly, the President is- sued the following executive order dated July IS, 1918:
 "A person leaving the classified civil service to engage in the military or naval service of the government during the present war with Germany and who has been honorably discharg- ed, may be reinstated in the civil ser vice at any time within five years after his discharge, provided that at the time of reinstatement he has the required fitness to perform the du- ties of the position to which rein statement is sought"
 It will be noted that under the terms of the executive order, a man who was separated from the civil es- tablishment to take part in the war may be reinstated in civil service position within five years after his discharge from the military or naval service. It will be further noted that there is no restriction that the man must be reinstated in the particular position from which he was separated. Under the terms of the executive or der, he may be reinstated anywhere in the civil service provided that at the time of reinstatement he has the required fitness to perform the duties of the position to which reinstate- ment is sought.

(By Thomas Elwood, l639). O! that mine eyes might closed be To what concerns me not to see; That deafness might possess mine ca, To what concerns me not to hear; That truth my tongue might always
 tie From ever speaking foolishly; That no vain thing might ever rest Or be conceived within my breast; That by each deed and word and
 thought Glory may to my God be brought! But what are wishes? Lord, mine
 eye On Thee is fixed, to Thee cry; Wash, Lord, and purify my heart, And make it clean in every part, And where 'tis clean, Lord, keep it
 too, For that is more than I can do.

WOOL GROWERS PROTEST
 AGAINST U. s. WOOL PRICES

The recent government sales of wool at auction in Boston, was most dis appointing sale as viewed by the wool growers of the country who feel that they have been made the "goat" for the manufacturers by the government officials in charge.
 About the only commodity in the country that has shown lower price is wool; the cost of manufactured goods continue to raise.
 The National Wool Growers associ- ation is making a strong protest against this action and are comparing the prices paid with the same com modity in England. In a telegram to the U, s. Wool Administrator, the as- sociation says:

 Boston. Mass.

Boston, Mass.
 We are very much dissatisfied with the prices realized at the auction Jan uary 3rd. Domestic wool sold at this auction considerable below the British issue price and when one adds the cost of importation to that price it seems that our values were unreason- ably low. After the handsome profits made by the manufacturers during the war one would presume that they would be fair enough to pay at least a fair price for these wools. We pro- test against the sale of any more wool at these prices and suggest that if the American manufacturers have no use for wool we had better export it to London.
 . NATIONAL WOOL GROWERS
 ASSOCIATION.
 The following report was received from a representative of the associ- ation at Boston, relative to the sale:
 Prices realized at the second gov ernment sale of domestic wool held at Boston, Jan. 3rd, were on a lower basis than prevailed December 18th, Rather more lots were withdrawn, choice three-eighths bloos staple being particularly neglected and in many cases lots were passed without bid. The lowest price of the day was 35 cents paid for lot of original New Mexico fine clothing. Officials ex- pressed themselves as we'll pleased with the results of the day, but this could hardly have been due to the prices realized, which were low from any standpoint, whether in the grease on or the secured basis.

that King Edward came to tea Mrs.
Astor's house was crowded with the
most fashionable people in London.
The King had attended to that very
we'll. And as it was his purpose to
make Nanny Langhorne somebody in
British society he gave her a great
deal of his time. She was at her
best, and their conversational sallies
and repartee filled the part of the
room where they were.
The man who tells the story says:
"This did not suit the pleasure of
the ladies of the land. They decided
to break up the party of two. Bridge
was suggested. Nanny smiled and
said she did not know how to play
cards. The ladies insisted. Now,
Nanny honestly did not know how
to play bridge, but she did know how
to amuse the King, and she had no
intention of being bored when it
was so easy to avoid 1t. With her
most fascinating smile she declared
she could not tell one card from an
other, and added quickly: why, I
don't even know king from a
knave.' King Edward laughed
heartily. The ladies fled, and Nanny
was firmly established in the royal
good graces. After that she was
not long in winning her way into
the heart of the Kings England" "
Naturally, rumors soon began to
fly about of her engagement to
numerous men. The most persistent
ones connected her with Robert
Goelet and Lord Revelstoke, the
bachelor head Of the banking house
of Barring Brothers and one of the
host cst~hes IN E-rl~r1. -Rut in

ralness and simplicity Of speech that
has always been one of her greatest
charms. "Airs," or what the English
call "side" or "swank," she learned
to despise, as she dcspises any at
tempt to display a superior knowl-
edge.
Moreover, back of all her lightness
and gayety there was a deep sense
of responsibility that has led one of
her friends to say:
"The false impression is often
gained that Nanny Langhorne has
no depth, that she is specifically
clever and sparkling; that there is
nothing below the surface. That is
the impression that a good many
people of her type give. But it is
not true one. Nanny Langhorne
has fine mind, made the more at
tractive by the sparks Of fire of
which she is capable Her sincerity
and loyalty to principles and her fine
appreciation of human values are
rare indeed"
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-12-07

Another friend illustrated by a
tale of Nanny's youth.
cit was no unusual thing" she
sNd, "for Nanny Langhorne to act
as nursemaid when she thought the
situation demanded it. She would
go into a train, dressed as the Lang
horne girls knew how to dress, and
find a tired old mother YEARLY TAX
ing care Of half a dozen children.
Nanny would look at the woman,
then at the young tribe of unwashed
youngsters, and decide Immediately
that there was something she could
do in the way of evening up things
a bit. In spite Of the expostulat atoms
Of the embarrassed mother she
would bundle the children off into
another section Of the car and tell
the mother to take a nap. Nanny
took care Of the children. And she
loved it."
But by and by it came time for
the Langhorne girls to marry.
Elizabeth. the eldest daughter, was
the first to take a husband. She
married I. Moncure Perkins, of
Richmond, and died several years
ago. That was before the days when
1T had become fashionable for
daughters of the Confederacy to
marry men Of the North. But when
Nanny's turn came she went d.
rectly into the stronghold of the
Abolitionists.
She was married in 1897 to Rob-
ert Gould Shaw I'd, of Boston. a
Harvard man and representative of
an old New England family. The
wedding took place at Mirador, and
soon afterward the young couple
went to live in Boston. Shaw was
a famous polo player in his day
on the fields, and it was Nanny's
riding that first attracted him, after
which he soon fell a victim to her
wit and beauty. Nanny continued
her career on the hunting fields, be-
gun with the Albemarle, Deep Run
and Norfolk hunts in Virginia, and
she and her husband were soon
among the leaders at Myopia and
Meadow Brook. It was at the latter
place that she became the warm
friend Of Mrs Tchr Jacob Astcr. a
