HARDING MEMORIAL
STAMPS ON SALE AT
POSTOFFICE HERE
Are Sombre-hued With Pro-
file View of the Late
President.

Harding memorial stamps are now
on sale at the stamp window of the
San Antonio post office, shipment
of 100000 two-cent stamps from
Washington having been received
Thursday. approximately 10000
stamps had been sold by Friday
noon.
Since purchasers of stamps arc
given those Of the Harding memorial
issue unless the request is made for
the regular issue, post office officials
predict that the supply of memorial
stamps now on hand will be exhaust
ed within four or five days. On an
average the San Antonio post office
sells from $4,000 to 10000 two-cent
stamps daily.
One or two packages of the Hard
ing memorial stamps will be retained
at the post office after the bulk of
the supply is exhausted, post office
officials have announced. These
stamps will be held in reserve for
future demand and will be given out
only by request.
although SOM Jre-nueu, tne stamps
are Of neat design and make a good
appearance upon an envelope. In the
upper left hand corner is the date
of the late Presidents birth, 1865.
and in the upper right hand corner
is the year Of his death, 1928. For
the central design. there is n profile
portrait Of the late President Hard
ing.
One popularity of the stamp is
noted in that the denomination fig
urcs are not printed in red as is
customary upon all stamps.
A few purchasers of two-cent
stamps have refused to accept the
memorial stamps, j. W. Fuller, as
sistant postmaster said. on the
grounds that they did not want those
black stamps. They wanted the more
cheerful red ones.

one sad experience with high prices

bone? Without a scientifically deve.-
oped use of mineral products there
can be no civilization.
The people of Wyoming are not be.
hind those of other states in civlliza-
ton, but they have not developed the
minerals that have lain, for vast cen.
turtles, exposed to the elements. This
lack OF development is not due to
lack of discovery, but has pro-
crossed wonderfully. consider ng the
Immense handicap under which it mas
been held. Wyoming has wealth OF
minerals second 70 none of her sister
states and these great s~torehouses of
nature have been sadly neglected and
are annually wasting away.
Surrounded by the great mineral
producing states of Montana. on the
north. Idaho and Utah on the west,
Colorado to the. south and South Da-
kota to the east, one can not con-
ceive h a the Creator should have
caused there to have been a barren
ness of mineral wealth at the line of
d vision hat later would become the
exterior boundaries of Wyoming! All
of Mornings sister states have we'll
developed minera production, while
this great state is not even well pros
pected. There have been certain
small properties here that have been
developed to a certain stage and these
will be dealt with in later paragraphs.
But as a whole. Wyoming has not
even been prospected. Why?
There are several reasons. One is
the type of man who came here as a
pioneer and his object in coming. The
Rocky Mountain region is even today
sometimes still referred to as THE
Great American Desert" The early
pioneer came through this state on
his way to California in search for
gold and, could not help realizing that
the antelope. deer, elk. buffalo, anI
other wild game wintered here and
came out looking sleek in the spring.

for domestic stock? They are as
