 IN STAMPS
Free Holland" Stamp Honors National Poet

THE stamp above is one of the A last issued by the Netherlands before it fell under Nazi occupa- ton. It is a semi-postal, part of a series that bore the portraits ot famous Dutch artists, writers and poets.
 Pictured on the stamp is Ever hardes Johannes Potgieter, famous Dutch poet and prose writer, founder of The Guide, which be- came Hollands most popular monthly magazine.
 Potgieter was born in 1908 and began his career in the office of an Antwerp merchant. He soon left business life, however, took a trip to Sweden and thereafter set- tied down in Amsterdam.
 With several other writers, he founded The Muses in 1884. This magazine lasted only two years, however. In 1887, he began issu- ing The Guide.
 Potgieter's literary style found popular favor among later poets and authors and was widely cop- jed by Dutch literary men. Tn fact, most of his imitators evolved a much clearer style than Pot- gieter himself used, largely be- cause the poets work was often suited and too highly pedantic.

 Sally hadn't told the truth. Ken wouldn't do that. He hadn't been spending his time with Janet like everyone was saying. He had been working extra so they would have time for their honeymoon. And Sal- ly thought Ann would spy on him would go and see. Wall, she wouldn't She didn't want to believe Sally.
 Ann parked the car and hurried down the street. She would buy something - new dress, a new hat, something to get her mind of of Ken and Janet
 All at once her breath caught in her throat. Sine couldn't think She looked at the man coming down the street toward her. He mustn't see her, Ken would never forgive her. And if she should be seen talking to him, all Farming ton would know her secret She had to get out of sight.
 She had been so busy worrying about Ken and Janet she had for gotten this was the night Jim Coon was coming to town. And Jim Coon was coming down the street toward her.

 T guess Ken Richards is tired of his quiet little lady-like girl He and Janet have been having din- ner together a lot lately"
 Ken ard Janet. Everywhere Ann heard their names spoken together, and conversations stopped abruptly when she came near. But she went on her way, smiling as if she had not heard-as If 1t did not matter as if she were sure of Ken and his love.
 She might have gone on trying to pretend until Janet had finished her visit, If Sally hadn't heard about it. But Sally heard and she came home that afternoon, breathless and painting in her an- ger, her voice sharp and high.
 "Ken Richards is double-cross- ing you Ann. just heard to- day at the beauty shop. One of the girls told me 7"
 T don't believe it. Ann spoke emphatlcally. Sally mustn't know that she had cried at night until there were no tears left; that she had faced her friends with her head high to keep people from knowing what Ken Richards was doing to her to keep them from knowing that she knew. 1T won't listen to you talk about Ken"
 She swung away from where she stood by the window, staring out at the drizzly June afternoon through mocking eyes, biting her lips to stop their trembling, her heart pounding so hard that she knew Sally could hear 1t.
 You're going to listen to me, Ann, and you're going to hear what I've got to say about your beloved. Ken. I don't like him I never have, not since he came to New York and separated you and Jerry.
 "Jerry loved you. You were meant for each other, but Ken rushed in. Another girl ditched him, and you took his fancy be- cause you were different But he didn't want you different. He wanted to mold you to his pat tern.
 Well, he's done 1t and just about ruined you, He's turned you from dashing lovely success in- to a namby-pamby nothing, with no pride. And you've let the girl who threw him over in the first
 "She didn't throw him over,
 They just didn't agree"
 That's what he tells you You're like 0 piece of wax in his hands"
 T am not" Ann turned swift ly, tears smarting in her eyes. I'm doing the thing I want to do. I'm perfectly happy doing 1t, and don't see why you pick on Ken"
 Because he's not good enough for you, that's why. Because he's double crossing you, telling you he has to work at night. He's been here twice in the last two weeks, pretening to be working while he's dining and driving with Janet. Your divorce is final with in a week and you ought to be planning your marriage next week. He used to have you meet him downtown in the afternoon, but he hasn't lately, has he? He's too busy having cocktails with Janet"

Ken and Janet. Ann tried to dis tniss the thought of them, tried to pretend that everything was all right with her and Ken And 1t probably would have been If Jim Coon hadn't come with his New York orchestra for a nights en- Eagement at the Strathmore Hotel,
 "Jim coon is going to be here" Ann told Ken that night, her eyes glowing with eager anticipa- ton. "Jerry and were dancing with his orchestra the night I met you. I want you to take me down there for dinner Monday night"
 T will not" Ken answered shortly. Wed ruin everything. Jim Coon would recognize you, and ev- erybody would know that you aren't what you've been pretending to be, My mother would never forgive you or me for disgracing her. I don't care If you are a Marshall, she'd say you were just like your mother, and she would act just as the Mar shalls did. wouldn't think of talk ing you there"
 But, Ken" She was pleading, tears misting her eyes.

 She couldn't argue with Ken when he was like that, cold and dis pleased, drawn away from her, inak- ing her feel every inch what she was, an outsider, who had been | permitted for little while to en- ter the life he had to offer her. 1, T don't want to humiliate you
 It didn't matter about going to hear Jim Coon If Ken didn't want her to, but sometimes she was so lonely for the sight of a familiar face--for Jerry and the old crowd. Sometimes she wanted to dance madly, wildly, and laugh with an abandon that Ken or Ken's group knew nothing about. She had left ali that behind. She was being Ken's kind of a woman now, and she must foret the old life.
 "Tt's just that I'm homesick, guess and Jim Coon Is Q person I've known long time. But it's quite all right. l wont quarrel with you" She was clinging to him. "Tell me you love me, and I'll try to forget tt. ! wouldn't want to go if you felt like that about it."
 But she couldn't forget, with posters of Jim Coon meeting her eyes ct every turn, with all the young people she knew talking about his coming. A great New York dance orchestra was an event in Farmington. Everybody was excited.
 She faced it. she wouldn't be dancing to the rhythm of Jim Co0n's band. It didn't really matter. All ct once that became of no im- pcrtance. Only Ken mattered,

CHICAGO, Sept. 4.-Wheat prices
moved upward another cent a bushel
today, reaching levels equals to Gov
ernment loan rates for the first
time this season. Prices were the
highest since 1887.
Contracts calling for delivery this
month sold up to 116, a cent over
| the basic loan rate for No. 2 grades
in this market, and prices in the
spot market also were fractionally
above loan levels. May, 1912, de-
liveries we're priced as high as 1.24.
Traders attributed the advance to
continued hesitancy of sellers be-
cause of Government predictions Of
higher prices due to the loan pro-
gram. Some flour buying was re-
f1ected in purchases of wheat in the
pit. There was no evidence of any
increase in producers sales despite
the fact that loan rates have been
reached or exceeded at numerous
terminal markets in the hard and
soft winter wheat areas. In the
spring wheat belt, where prices are
still below loan rates, terminal re-
ceipts were unusually light for this
time of year.
