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

. 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

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."

Australia's Sheep Towns
Rival Early-Day Violence
Sydney (U.R) Western what losses they might suffer.
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.

the old-rate side. Then old-rate
men declared "black" the people
who helped the award-rate side.
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

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.
