three little forks fur eating
pears." At about tliat time, al.so,
u mlnntrel made a song about tin
Dear in which he railed it "the
ixentlo pear, tho poaii of the

ways as highly honored as It is
today.

About Stamps
By Elza Martin, Well Known
Htamp Authority
James A. Parley, postmaster gen-
eral, has announced that the Mother's
Day stamp will be the size of the
current special delivery stamp and
the Initial order calls for two hun
dred million stamps. Color Is not yet
decided. Center subject Is portrait
by Whistler called "My Mother" and
in lower left a vase of carnations.
Across the top of the stamp will be
tho words "U. S. Postage" and under
them a lino reading "In memory and
In honor of the Mothers of America."
Below this appears the words "Three
Cent.!."
A special NRA 3-cent stamp was
Issued by the postoffice department
to direct attention and to arouse the
support of tho nation In the National
Recovery Act. The stamp Is purple
in color and of the same size as the
regular Issue, Is arranged horizontally.
The principal design, contains figures
representing a farmer, a business
maa. an Industrial worker, and a
woman employee. Near the upper left
corner In dark gothlc letters are
words "Throe Oentsf arranged Jn
two lines, and below In dark gothlc
letters Is tho abbreviation "NRA". In
a horizontal line near the bottom of
the stamp are the words "In a com
mon determination." The NRA
stamp was first placed on sale August
15, 1933 at the postoffice. Washing
ton, D. C. The first Issue of the NRA
stamp was 400.000, later there was
more Issued, bringing the number
near a billion. This stamp has re
ceived much criticism from the pub
lic, some claiming that the business
man Is out of step with the other
three people. There Is no truth In
the rumor that some of these stamps
have been rocalled and that the ones
with the business man with one limb
missing are worth more; as there
was but the one variety issued.
Our government has Issued Just
four exhlbtion sheets of stamps. The
first one being the Battle of White
Plains In sheets of 25 staiups In
compliment of the "International
Philatelic Exhibition. October 16. to

THE WILL
JUDITH Dale dried lior eyos on a
wulsp of a bandltorchlef after
reading tlio first linos written her
by hor former frlond and employer,
and then she looked about tho
room.
It was a queer drama, this In
which alio was playing an unwilling
loading role. Mrs. Bovlns and Ma
thile, In heavy mourning, sat on
one side and close boslde them was
Norman Dale, hor husband, repre
senting Ills friends' Interests against
those of his wife.
Judge Morgan, to whom Big Tom
had turned whon he found Morton
Lumpers not trustworthy, motioned
Judith to continue reading, and alio
bont her head again, above the let
ter.
Your reading this note, said tho
Ink scrawled letter, will mean

Judith, I have thought of all of

going on with the writing of tills

you will have tho vision to seo my

You aro a daughter of Emll

during which your character was

When they press you hard,

for their hopes to miilerlallze.
Remember you nro only o girl,

And now to your trial, tloil bless

Carry on, Judy-girl,
BIO TOM.
Judith looked up. Tho room was
silent as though thoso thorn had felt
tho presence of tho otlior man, and
Judith, eyos wldo with sadness as
she realized what lay ahead, spoke
to tho Judge.
"I havo finished reading tho In
structions my formor employer left
for me, Judgo Morgan. 1. am ready
now to boar bis will."
'T'HE document was lengthy ond
filled with legal phrases which
meant nothing to Judith. Filled with
grief and forebodings, she looked
out of the window. There were
bushy oaks clustering tho lino of
the bayou, and beyond were tho
book-like, roofs of tho llttlo homes

Norman. Tlptllted bindings of red
and green and tan covering their
simple stories.
Judith envied the womon who
lived beneath thorn. Sho envied the
ones In their postage-stamp yards,
hanging out billowing sheets, the
ones In the match box houses bond
ing over hot ovons, testing fragront
loaves with expert fl--?ers.
That night their husbands would
corns In. soiling trim ginghams with
hand grimed bear-hugs, but Judith
would willingly have had tho golden
tissue tea gown of the previous
night ruined, had Norman wanted
to give her moro than a frigid kiss
of greeting.
Only half comprehending, she
caught through tho more of legnl
phraseology words which meant
that she had been bequeathed
"stocks, bonds and other assets
listed herewith and aggregating the
sum of flvo million dollars, to be
liquidated as needed."
And. "fiftyono percent of the
stock of the Bevins Construction
Company, heretofore held In my

Mr, Leale in the future will specialize

Mrs. Ilovins asked certain clausos

felt rollovod to loam her formor
employer's wife would receive the
rentals from tho Bovlns Building,
averaging ono thousand dollars a
month, and the property on which
tho family home was located.
Mathile, roceived a like allowance,
from other sources, both Mrs. Bev

controlled and held to one thousand
dollars a month each by Judge
Morgan.
Tho will and the various docu

bad anuouncod that was all, and
bad arisen as though expecting the
others to loave, whon .Morton Lam

"A word with Mrs. Dale, ploaso.
Mrs. Dale you havo heard the read

JUDITH'S volco was clear as Bho

her husband, rather than the man

hoped ho would understand.
"I'm afraid wo'vo pressed you a
