"Neither my wife or I were stamp collectors, but we happen ed to be standing in front of the Exposition post office while a couple of collectors were talking shop. Certainly they were en thusiasts, if not actually collec tors. "One of them said that if he were a young man again, he would make it a poit to buy a block of four or more of every stamp that came out- And he went on to point nut how much values had already risen then, back there In 1915, from what they had been some 30 years before. "The other fellow was a neg ative type. He disagreed. Accord ing to hing, postage stamps were CURRIER PRINT OF OLD PRESIDENT LOW-PRICED It was a srrajil print, about 8 hv 10 inches, but Charles seem ed to he fascinated by it. "Millard Fillmore." the cap tion read. "Thirteenth President of the United States and Nation al Candidate for the Fifteenth President of the United States." The date on it was 1856. The name of the maker was Nathan- ipl Currier, founder of the firm that was later to make history under the name of Currier and Ives. The print was mounted in a neat, black frame that gave plen- ty of margin for the mat. Here and there across the face of the century-old picture were the marks of time. On the whole, however, it seemed to be in tru- ly excellent condition. "You know." said Charles, "I've been thinking for some time that I would like to make a collection of portraits of the Presidents pictures, rather especially of the older ones. Those in the last century. And Airport Revenue During May Totaled $3,193.45 Ttal revenue from Medford's municipal airport during May was S3. 193. 45. according to the monthly report of municipal ac tivities.

But between two of the groov es was an engraving absolutely unique in my experience with shotguns. It was of a naval engagement- Furthermore, the ves sels involved were galleys, not sailing ships. The marking on the cylinder read "Patent Arms Man y Pat terson, N.J. Colt's Patents." The gun had a walnut stock and pistol grip. I asked Jerry how much he had paid for it. He showed me a receipt for S300. "I would have gone to S400." he paid. "And actually I think I might have gone even higher, maybe to $500. The gun is cer tainly worth it." 1915 NOW WORTH $300 just a passing fad that had al ready seen their peak. The mar ket was swamped and the only way it could go now was down. "My wife and I listened to them and finally we decided to put the matter to an actual test. We didn't have much money at the time, but we felt that we could risk 40 cents on a block of four 10-cent orange stamps that had been put out special for the Exposition." As he spoke, Mr. Hatworth produced an envelope from his coat pocket and shook out the block of four stamps. "They're the very ones we put in the envelope," he said. "She just came across them again the other day. How much are they worth:1" Paul opened his Scott's Cata logue to the proper page. Mr. Hatworth looked incred ulously at the encircled figure. "Three hundred dollars.", he ex claimed. "Three hundred dollars for 40 cents and 42 years " I think that this would be a good time and place to begin." I said nothing for a moment; instead, I concentrated on a small tag in the corner of the picture. It was inconspicuous, but presently I became aware that it was a price tag and that it read S75. "But why begin with Fill more," I said. "After all, he's not exactly one of our better-known Presidents." Charles nodded. "Quite right. But a picture of Fillmore at this stage of his career, in 1856. when the Know Nothing Party nomin- ated him, at a time when he was out of the country, is a pretty rare picture. I think I'll buy it." "That's all right," he said. "A picture like this is usually cata- logued at S100, but that's a bit too low. Twice in the past I've tried to get copies of this print and both times I've been asked to pay over S125 for them." (Released by McClure Newspaper Syndicate) pump time was one hour.

M. J. VVERSHOW Los Angeles WEbster 3-8561 Sunday. June 33, 19J7 Grange Notes Enterprise Grange Members of Enterprise Grange held a regular meeting recently with their master Gladys Boulter, in th chair. Rogue valley flood control rep resentative, Chester Jensen, re ported that Porter had presented his bill on flood control. Jensen stated that not all of the officers and members were in favor of presenting a bill at this time. As dairy chairman, Jensen re minded Grangers that June was dairy month, and that extensive surveys were being carried out at Corvallis on strip pasture feeding.- Changing pastures every day or two gives pasture a chance to grow and tends to in crease production with out rais ing cost. Also in Jensen's report, he stated that Idaho was ship ping milk into Oregon as Ore eon was paying more for milk. The dairymen in Idaho said it was cheaper to produce milk in Idaho. Ways and means chairman. Jane Moorman, reported that S 1 2 .75 was taken in at the card party. The July 4 barbecue was tabled for some time in the fu ture, as most of the people were vacationing or very busy in hay fields. Alice Wales was appointed to arrange the next lecture hour program for the next meeting. Hosts for the evening were Mr. and Mrs. Jimmie King and Mr. and Mrs- George Barrie.

Gertrude Lewin, Publicity Chairman Two Overcome In Blaze at Mill Ashland A night watchman and an Ashland fireman were overcome by fumes from a fire at the Mistletoe Mill on High way 99 south, early Friday morning. The watchman, William C Chappelle, 61, and the fireman L. D. Trenton, 27, both of Ash land, were overcome while fighting the fire, which was re ported at 5:15 a.m. The fire, which had been burning for some time, got out of control. Firemen found Chappelle un conscious in the pit and took him to Ashland General hos pital. Trenton lost consciousness when oxygen in his mask gave out. A resuscitator was used to revive both victims en route to the hospital. They were report ed in good condition. Mill officials said the fire was confined to the fuel within the wells of the fire-proof concrete fuel house. They explained the fuel fire was hot and caused a gaseous condition. Two Ashland fire department trucks respond ed to the call. Mill fire fighting equipment was in use, but rein forcement was needed, it was reported. SEQUENCE Murfreesboro, Tenn. IP Deputy Sheriff J. B. Gilmore and his partner spotted two autos passing through here min utes apart. The license of one was 1-11446 and the second was 1-11447. Sixth Truman Article What would happen if a Presi dent became incapacitated and unable to perform his duties? We're naturally reluctant to face up to such a grim question But the Founding Fathers did not give us an answer, and Presi dent Eisenhower's illnesses have served as a reminder that presi dential disability could seriously damage the American Govern ment in both domestic and for eign affairs. In another article on current events, former President Harry S. Turman urges the problem to be faced now. and proposes a plan of succession in time of presidential disability. The need for such a plan in tensifies, he warns, as the mental and physical demands of the Penneys STORE 9:30 I. r i ONE-PIECE POPLIN PLAYSUIT 98 3-6x Zips across summer and lead a sturdy rough and tumble life!
