: Buried Treasure Emerald Green Tulip Vases Bring High Price in Pairs The first tulip vase I ever saw was about 20 years ago when I noted a pair of them on a mantelpiece in an Ohio farmhouse. They were amethystine in color, a rather dark amethyst. I should also add that I was helped to remember them by the owner's assertion that she believed them to be Sandwich glass, made in the famous fac tory of that name in Massa ' chusetts. Recently I came across one Z LESS THAN VALUE PRICE STILL BRINGS IN PROFIT Ted looked broodingly at his Z inventory sheets. Z "If you'd like to buy a 1904 Lewis and Clark commemora Z tive gold dollar. Pink, I'll let J you have it for 10 per cent off 5 the wholesale price 12 per 2 cent if you'll take two." Z I didn't want the coin, even Z at such an offer as that, but I did want to know why Ted would make it. 1 - ' "Are they genuine?" I asked . suspiciously. CURRIER fc IVES PAINTING Nat. a retired bus driver who at one time had been a brake man on the Canadian-Pacific, had heard that some Currier & Ives prints were valuable. "My father used to have one." he said. "It hung in the front hall. But when my wife and I inherited the place, she got rid of it." I knew his wife. Sadie, and doubted very much that with her saving ways she would have thrown it out. "It wasn't a very pretty one," he said. "Just a railroad scene." That was enough for me. I urged him to have his wife look for it that very night and let me know about it right away if they turned up anything. Title of the print, which mea sured about 15x21 inches, was "Night Scene of an American Railway Junction." Additional data in the caption said that TOO IAU TO CLASSIFY Rf-MMAGE SALE Thurs .

Wort toftw or roes moNtr next I WrKCSSOM PVODOCT pentral Drug - Main & Central in a secondhand store, a vase almost identical with those seen years before. Instead of amethyst, however, it was almost emerald green. Or so I thought it would be after I got the sand and cisa rett buts out of it. I paid the proprietor and checked on the buy. Was it a good one? I found out that it was. Tulip vases of emerald green bring to S200 a pair. As for my single one which still is single it is apparently worth from $35 to SI 00. That was the first thing I thought of, too," Ted replied. "No, they're good as gold which they are and the man who sold me 43 of them at $45 each stands behind them 100 per cent. He put it in writing, and I've known him for years." I asked Ted what he would do with his gold dollars. "Do with them," he said. "I'll sell 'em. The latest catalogue price is $87.50, so I'll use em as a loss leader at S65. Don't worry about me." REHUNG IN PLACE OF HONOR the trains "Lightning Express," Flying Mail" and "Owl" were "on time" at Parsons & At water, Del. Date of publication was 1876. Old as the scene looked, like something from an age incred ibly remote and gone forever. I nonetheless got the feeling of bustle and urgency about it that is part and parcel of busy rail road stations and junctions. A full moon in the picture threw the urgency into contrast., "How much is it worth? Nat asked when he thought I had looked at it long enough. I showed him a couple of catalogues (which listed it at $500 and $1000. "It's nice to know," he said after a pause. "But Sadie and I are going to keep it for a while. We've got it back in the front hall where it used to be." (Released by McClure News paper Syndicate) TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY HARI.EY DAVIDSON motorcycle. 1945 tw in, model 45 New tires, buddy seat.

Queensland's dusty little sheep ! Smaller men, who could not towns, once placid, now rival afford flock losses, decided to Australia's early gold mining j pay the old (and higher) rates, camps for violence. i The award-rate side boycotted The nine-month-old shearing Tstores and people who helped strike brought the wave of law lesness that has split the West into two camps the "'award rate camp" and "the old-rate camp." The lawlessness began when the Queensland Industrial Court reduced the award rate for shearers from $18 per 100 sheep to S15, and the Australian Work ers' Union instructed men to re fuse to shear at the new award rate. Some obeyed th instructions. Some didn't. Shearers, shed hands, graziers, shopkeepers and townspeople back each side and nobody remains neutral. Towns people greet strangers to the towns with: "You're new here, mate. What do you do?" It s a common sight to see men brawling in pubs and mobs fight ing in the streets. Threats and bashings are common-place and even arson is thrown in for va riety. The AWU action drew graziers into the dispute. Men with large holdings and big bank balances refused to pay more than award rates for shearing, no matter are mounted in glass - enclosed cases, which he has made, and each specimen bears a label con taining data classifying it as to chemical composition, crystal line structure, and physical properties. The intensive study, and research required in the pursuit of his hobby has given Acosta a vast knowledge of minerology. Among the "rock-hounds"' of southern California, he is re spected as an authority on the subject, and is often called upon to lecture to various groups. "Jack Frost," always a handy man with a paint brush, dipped into his box of colors for the first time this season last week end, and began his annual task of transforming a dry, dusty, drab world into a thing of blaz ing beauty. Repeated visits each night since have intensified the colors, until once more a huge Persian carpet is spread out in the Siskiyous. Even the lowliest of weeds and vines have taken on a beauty of their own. Visitors atvlhe home of Mrs. Maude Spearin last week were two sons and their families, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Spearin and two daughters, from Fumsey. Calif., and Mr. and Mrs. Lester Spearin and sons Lester Jr. and Mike, of San Mateo. Calif. Mr and Mrs. Howard Morrin, parents of Mrs. Carl Spearin, were also here. Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Davis and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Arlang and children Gary and Barbara, all of Fortuna, Calif., were dinner guests at the L. C. Walsh home Monday. The Davises are the parents of "Bud" Davis, who, with his wife, Carmen, and small son, made their home here several years ago. Mrs. S. A. Cooper and her mother, Mrs. Mary Griffin, of Ashland, were Sunday visitors at the home of Mrs. Florence Greive and son. Charles. For Action, Use Tribune Want Ads Just Call 2-6141 POISON OAK?

Day by day bitterness grew and the strike dragged on. In desperation graziers formed vol untary shearing teams with their sons and station hands and they began shearing at district prop erties at award rates. Meanwhile, wool firms enlisted .shearers from southern states and New Zealand in an effort to break the strike. More and more old-rate men found bank balances dwindling and credit tight, and this caused many of them to revise their principles and start shearing at the new award rate. The award-rate side seemed to have a winning hand. Then Railways Department employees declared "black" the wool shorn at award rates and refused to carry it. The Queens land government feared a gen eral strike and did not force the issue. Violence Frequent Graziers enlisted private en terprise and road transports brought their wool to Brisbane. However, their move was stale mated by wharf laborers and storemen and packers who re fused to handle the wool. Woolbrokers, too, have been drawn into the dispute. They cancelled Brisbane's $16,000,000 September wool sale, but, with the backing of both the state and federal governments, they will hold the October sales. Union officials and the graz iers meet frequently to discuss the dispute but their talks al I insurance 1 EVERYONE READS AND USES WANT ADS THE LOW COST WAY TO ACTION and PROFIT Phone 2-611 41 ways end in deadlock. Meanwhile, frequent violence flares in the western towns Winton, Charlesville, Longreach, Hughenden, Goondiwindi. Graziers who shear at the new rates carry loaded rifles in their cars as they believe strikers might attempt violence on the lonely roads back to their prop erties. Pub brawls and mob fights happen regularly. Winton had the biggest and most savage. About 60 men fought in a free-for-all which started in the bar and ended up in the street. The lone policeman could not stop it. Women, once good" friends, don't speak because their hus bands view the dispute from dif ferent angles. One business girl had to leave her rooming house because her brothers were shear ing at the award rate. Even children side in the dis pute. They shout "scab" at each other in the school playgrounds, and fights always follow the jeering. Graziers and union officials say the bitterness will not dis appear for a generation.
