Postmaster Ramsey Presents History
Of United States In Postage Stamps
The new ttamps commemorating the
bi-centennial ot George Washington
went on sale throughout the country
on January, .?. . Becognixing the
historical figtiifiramw of' these
stamps, Postmaster J. K. Ramsey
and started a little research in post
office records. As the result ha
compiled the following interesting
information on stamps that have
been issued by the Poet Office De-
partment of the United States:
•‘A chronological history of America
portrayed in pictures of striking or
outstanding events in ths nation’s
past, is envisag'd in pictorial post-
age stamps iasusd by the Post Of.
fiee Department from time to time
in commemoration of these events.
Beginning^ with the landing of Co-
lumbus, thus pictorial commemo-
rative stamps tell in sequence the
story of America's progress from the
howling wilderness found by the
famous Genoan, to its highly deve-
loped state of today.
“Aside from tbs commemorative
stamps, the history of the ordinary
United States postage stamp Is. in
itself; an interesting one, marking

Some moat interesting facts con-
cerning freakish accidsnta ars re-
lated by Arthur Grahams in TSpolar
Science Monthly, illustrating Vol-
taire’s saying that "it is the danger
least expected that soonest comas to
us.” Amoi* others hs relates the
foilopring:
P. Wiggins, Kansas aviator waa
bitten by a rattlesnake that had soma-
how gotten into his plane, while fly-
ing at an altitude of about -a- mils,
but landed and obtained treatment
in time to save his Ufa. *

Some yean ago Genera) TilUano,
a Nicarauguan revolutionist, was
struck by a falling meteor while
sitting ta his tent one sight and waa
kiUed. His superstitious soldiers
believed that the Almighty had thus
shown disapproval of their cause, so
they abondoned the revolution.
Mathematicians have figured that
an American will be struck by a
meteor about once every 9,300 years
on an average. They will also
calculate that a person living to tin
age of 70 has one chance in .7800
of being struck by lightning.
About LOOO persons are injured
in bathtubs to everyone hurt in ralL
road accidents. About 30,000 Ameri-
cans are killed every year by acci-
dents in anf "about their homes, al-
most as many ap are killed by auto-
mobiles.
Most ironical of ths accidents, enu-
meratsd by Mr. Grahams
in which a man was painfully injured
by ths falling of a horseshoe hs

I ware asked to choose just
one thing that 1 have done during
my married life which'has benefited
my home and family most, I would
say, ‘my entering the" 4-H pantry
contest’. Some would aay, “Why I
cannot see how that Would bo so.
beneficial’' Maybe not, buf if they
could only realise the importance of
the. right kind of food to the family,
"they could easily see the importance
of my great step.
"Of course, before entering the
contest, 1. canned food for winter
use, and usually had canned stuff
when the fresh vegetables came onto
the spring.. But that did'Hot mean
my family had ths food they need-
ed, and that the food was preserved
in the most convenient and economi-
cal manner. ... , .
"I had a peice of a celler which
leaked when it rained or snowed, and
kept the food In .* damp atmosphere
all of, the time. “ r
the house on shelves which Mr. Bar-
nett had built for that purpoe*. I
had a curtain stretched across it,
but it did not hide the Witidyneja
and ugliness of such a clutter in a'
bedroom. I wanted a place where
relish; tomatoes; canned! fruit; pre-
serves; jelly and jama; Under
these big headings you will find the
different -varieties of the media, ve-
getables, and fruits. There are 712
containers in different siste, includ-
ing No. 2 and No. 3 in cans and the
glass Jar* are pints, quarts, and half
gallons. T also havo fresh food in-
cluding sweet and Irish potatoes,
onions, pumpkins, kershaws, dried. ““lly improvident and a
peas and beans, fresh lettuce and
greens. I have cheese and my own
press, which Mr. Barrett mad*.
“The building of the pantry has
taken time and work, but it is well
worth it, and I appreciate the co-
operation spd information that
been given nie from tbe agent, Miss
Grimes. It Kas been "a large factor
in- making my pantry a success.’
IS YOUR CREDIT
GOOD?
One of the most valuable assets
any man can havs-ie-U» credit. If
you have been- delinquent in thg j
taking care of your bills, if you hart
repudiated bills which your creditor
has no way of collecting, aad Which
he permitted you to run through

murdered .your credit and will have

fourteen years of her life had been
spent in Graham, the family Spring
moved here in 1918... Besides her
husband she . la larri'
foods for a menu.
“What a relief I felt when Mr.
Barret said: “Lets build a pantry”.
In bewilderment I asked, ‘Where T’
■Why net an underground one?’ he1 vive? by two sistjua* Mrs. Mary
asked. S cannot express my Joy to
certificste No. $71 by All that tract, ^n.ing last I waa going to have
_ ‘sure enough pantry’. Then to
make the thing a Mg success I en-
tered the contest, and by this 1 have
learned how to place the fuMl In the
pantry aa well as in the cans.
"The building of the pantry was
a Job within itaelf. Mr. Barrett
has credit for it, with the help he
haiLib have, and this was only labor
for one day. TheTe are seven con-
crete steps leading into the entry.
A screen door is at thq bottom te
prevent flies and rtttferent Wnd. of
pasta from entering. The walls
are of concrete and1, white washed,
making a beautiful wall of white
that refleete more light than a dar-
ker one would. Tfce sheWee are
seven high, each - one a foot wide,
makiiig room for the containers to
.be placed four deep. The small
cans can be pitted on top of each
other. This make, large roomy
shelves. And te think I have beqn
depriving myself of such a pantry
for years, never realising It would
coat only $82,001 The material waa
$80.00 and one day of hired labor
$2.00, making ths above total.
“All ths above mentioned ia nie#
but the most convenient thing of all
1a the arrangement. Unfly in ar-
rangement. One can enter a 4-H
pantry in the dark end easily secure
the food for which they ere search-
tag, without any tremble. This may
be strange, with 66 varieties of feeds
