All the thrills of unexpected
stamp finds are not reserved for
the dear dead days." however,
for on Nov. IS last at New York
auction a single l-cent stamp of
the 1922 series brought s1975. The
design is like the current green
1-cent stamp, but it is a rotary
press printing and perforated
eleven. 1t is considered the rarest
twentieth century United States
stamp and this is the first copy
unused to appear on the market.
1t was discovered by chance when
the owner offered his collection
for sale to a New York firm.
An error in the 2-cent value Of
the recent national park series of
stamps also has created a valu-
able stamp. 1t was iouno perfo-
rated vertically and imperiorste
horizontally, and, since pair
must be purchased to prove they
are imperforate. this little num-
Der will cost its owner 5000 at the

THE stamp collecting world al
Il ways is agog when Great
Britain issues a new stamp be-
cause of all prominent issuing
countries it is the most reserved.
The designs on the new l and
IL penny values shown at the
lower right in the picture above
are in no way startling. They
follow the perfect British tradi-
ton and use as the central figure
the inevitable bust portrait of
King George. Queen Victoria'S
likeness appeared upon more
stamps than that of any other
one person, but her grandson gives
promise of breaking her record.
The twenty-fifth anniversary of
King Georges succession to the
fhrOV1a Vrri1 LA nn1nLr0t tod tNnvt
year on May 6 and British phila-
telistS are urging a pictorial COM
memorative issue. This would be
particularly fitting as the king is
a stamp collector and stamps first
were issued in Great Britain.
According to Prescott H. Thorp'S
comprehensive treatise, Com
memorative Stamps of the World"
Great Britain has had but three
commemorative issues-in 1887
for Queen Victoria's diamond
jubilee; in 1924 for the British
Empire Exposition and in 1929
for the Postal Union Congress.
Two values of the latter are shown
at the lower left above.
On the first series a bust por-
trait of Victoria was used and on
the other two, bust portraits of
King George. The monotony of
the British design is plainly de-
picted by the stamps shown in
the lower row; the IL penny
value of the new issue being ex-
actly the same design as the is
sue it replaced. The coronation
issue picturing Queen Mary and
King George was issued in New
foundland.

Times Hobby Editor
THE ninety first edition of the
- standard Postage Stamp Cat
alog issued each year by the Scott
Stamp and Coin Company of New
Ycrk was greeted by collectors
upoc its appearance this fall with
particular interest because of the
changed monetary values in the
world.
Comparison of stamp prices
even between those in the present
edition and in that of last year is
very enllghtening but. as its num-
Der indicates. the catalog has
been issued for so many years,
that very old editions tell of ex-
traordinary advance in postage
stamp values.
Since stamps have been issued
but eighty-seven years the ques-
ton arose as to why this edition
was numbered ninety-one. To
this, Prescott H. Thorp, managing
editor of SCOTS Monthly Journal,
replies:
we do not know why the pres
ent edition of the catalog is No.
81 but assume that in the early
days of its publication it must
have been gotten out two or three
times year. numbering it a new
edition each time. One of the
earliest editions we have in the
library is No IS; it is a little bit
of pamphlet. From then on we
have them in sequence"
At recent meeting of the Indi-
ana Stamp Club, Harry Coburn,
veteran collector-dealer of this
city exhibited a SCOTS Catalog
for 1895. which also was a very
small book 1t gave some very
interesting examples of stamp
values of forty years ago. Mr..
COburn said that the local stamp
club at that time was called the
Lincoln-H Harrison Stamp Club and
met in the Arcade building.
Three of the members were
dealers. a Mr.. Wallace. whose
store was located in the old Sacks
building; Mr.. Pinkpank on Ala
bama-st. south of Washington,
and Fletcher Noe in the Cyclic
rama where the Traction Termi-
nal now stands.
At that time the fashion was to
place the stamps in frames and
hang them upon walls. Hugh
Niven has the complete Column
bian series preserved in this man.
ner from his stamp collecting boy
hood
According to Mr.. Coburn the
1869 issue was as popular then as
the commemorative are today. In
some respects that series was a
commemorative issue although
not so specified by the govern
ment. 1t is composed of eleven
stamps with central designs of
commemorative nature. The 2-cent
pictures pony express rider, the
Scent, the first locomotive, and
so on through the set.
q
MIR. COBURN said that in
u1 1895, he could buy any of the
higher values of this series for
from Is cents to s1.50. To buy
the 90-cent value according to
last years catalogue two more
ciphers should be added to that
price, or. in other words. it would
cost $3.50. This year it his adj
vanced S25 more.
This set had two famous errors.
The central design of the 24-cent
value was inverted on a few
stamps. These are worth today

BY ARTHUR MURRAY

written for NEA Service
TINE carioca, an outgroWth of
Il the Brazilian macheche, is
the most amusing dance that
we've had for many a season.
Not since the Charleston swept
the country have dancers been
more enthusiastic about steps
that are smart in the ballroom as
we'll as for exhibition p rposes.
Remember that exhibition steps
of any fantastic dance should not
be done on a crowded dance floor.
If you decide to learn the carioca,
make up your mind to master
first only the steps that are
graceful and which take up little
extra 3pace.
The same rules for Sn art dane
ing apply again. A man should
holds his arms fairly high and
should hold his partner firmly,
especially with the right hand.
If he places his hand too lightly
on her back, she will have no con-
fidence in his leading, and will be
apt to make an occasional mis-
take.
Do not curl your arm around
your partners. Fancy holds are
out of date.
ONE of the most novel features
~ of the car:oca is the FORE
head-to-forehead position. How
ever, that is one phase that isn't
recommended for crowded floor.
Another interesting note is the
heel-to-toe movement, described
in the diagram. Still another :
the dropping of the hands, as
pointed out in the photograph.
This diagram is particularly
easy to follow. After the third
step, while weight is on the left
foot, rapidly strike the heel and
then the toe on the floor.
Beginning with the right foot,
repeat the entire movement.
These movements must be per-
formed with the partners fore
heads touching and, of course,
must be / 2rformed SO smoothly
that the heads always remain in
contact; otherwise painful bumps
are likely to enSue.

urday night double-header church
basketball series. The second game
of the evening was played by the
Methodists VS.. Christians, who tied
at the close of the game with a score
of ] 5 to Is. At the first play-off, the
score was 1918 and the final score of
the evening was Methodists %, and
the Christians 20. This last was an
exciting and interesting game, with
all spectators off their seats and
cheering for the last fifteen or TWEEN
ty minutes. Next Saturday night the
Baptists will play the Christians and

fourth of the church series.

affected by present freight rates and
the tendency for the development of
abandoned areas about the cities of
the eastern, central and Atlantic sea-
board states. He felt that there was
nothing in the present tree fruit out
look which with present trends should
cause any alarm to orchardists of this
section. Mr.. Turner's talk was very
well received.
The soils and fertilizer problem was
presented by the county agent and he
emphasized the need of more atten-
tion to building of the organic ma
terial in our soils. Sesbania was en-
phasized as a crop, particularly for
the truck grower, that Offered much
promise for this problem. No new
recommendations were being made as
to fertilizers, nitrogen still being the
element most needed and recommend
ations being made as to its use on
various crops. On the older soils phos-
pilates are giving definite responses
and its use may be essential in the
establishing of cover crops in the or
chard under certain conditions.
Mr. Vincent in summarizing horti-
cultural work also brought out the
great need of cover crops in our or
chards. The need of tree spacing as
well as proper fertilization and proper
pruning. AS has been pointed out, but
the last couple years the system of
pruning must be changed for many
of our older orchard trees. This sys-
tenn will vary with the different var
ieties and kinds of fruit.
Growers attending these meetings
on the whole seem to be well satisfied
with the program as presented this
year with the requests of growers
coming to the county agent as thru
a survey made about month ago.

results. There are a number of fac
tors entering into this problem which
are too detailed to go into here.
The need of securing good stands
of orchard cover crops turnout the
county was stressed by III. p. Staple
ton, Superintendent of the Irrigation
Branch station The station has been
able to secure a good cover crop in
an orchard that is now some 10 years
old and in the other half of the ORCH
ard has been able to maintain an ex-
ceptional cover crop since it was put
in some five or six years ago. Mr..
Singleton outlined definite practices
which he felt were essential to secur-
ing good cover crop. One of these
that we felt should be particularly
stressed is the need of the proper
spacing of the orchard trees in order
to provide sufficient light and the
maximum development of the alfalfa
plant.
Mr.. Lane of the wire worm expert
ment station at Walla Walla outlined
in a splendid manner the history of
the development of the wire worm
and its life history and then discuss
ed chemical methods of control which
one hears discussed occasionally, but
which in his opinion are entirely too
expensive for average farm condi-
tions. Through his studies in the life
history of the wire worm he has de-
veloped a system which has enabled
him to get at vulnerable points in
volved in control by flooding during
the summer months Or use complete
drying out as possible during the
summer months. Mr.. Lane is prob
ably one of the foremost if not the
foremost authority on wire worm
life history and control in the entire
country and those who missed his dis
cussion missed splendid presenta-
ton.
R. M. Turner, Farm Economist in
