Postmaster General James A. Far
ley has authorized the Wisconsin
Tercentenary stamp, but no details
have been announced. 1t Is sup
posed, however, that the denomina-
ton will be cents. the color lavender
and the size like that of the Moth
ers day stamp. The design probably
will show E. w. Deming's celebrated
painting of the landing of Jean Nico-
let, French explorer, at Green Bay,
1884. First-day sales arrangements,
in consonance with recent policy,
probably will be restricted to Wash
ington. The stamp should be avail
able in July or August.

L. Ickes has authorized the following

ley's action in approving the national

collector, I thank the Postmaster
General"
