FIRST VICTORY STAMP
The United States is the first of the
allied nations to issue a special post
age stamp commemorative of victory.
It has just been put on sale in the j
j various Post Offices, and as it Is not
likely to remain in use for any great,
! length of time, it may (Ultimately be- ]
come one of the rare issues for collect
i crs. The stamp is of the three-cent
variety, lavender in color, similar tO’
the regular three-cent stamp and of
the same size, but the design is ob
long in shape.
It has been ten years since the Post
Office Department has issued a spe-,
cial memorial stamp. In 1909 there
were three issues of that kind, the
first being the Lincoln stamp com
,re \ : rating the centennial annivers
ary of Abraharr Lincoln's birth on
Feb. 12, 1809. This was soon follow-;
ed by the Alaska-Yukon commemora-;
tive stamp and later appeared the
Hudson-Fulton stamp in honor of the
celebration of Robert Fulton’s success
ful steamboat trip up the Hudson Riv
er in 1807. These were all two cent
stamps and were used for only a short
time.
The first memorial stamps issued uy
the United States were the Columbus
i stamps, which came out in 1893*
marking tne four-nundredth anniver
sary of the discovery of America.
There were sixteen varieties ranging
: in value from 1 cent to $5, each stamp
; depicting a different scene in the life
of Columbus. Dealers date the stamp
collecting fever which has grown
enormously in later years to the ap
pearance of these stamps. Thousands
of schoolboys started collecting by buy
ing the lower values of the Columbus
samps, and dealers, anticipating high
values in future years, laid in large
stocks: in fact, such large stocks that
the market value of the stamps, even
including the high dollar values, have
shown but little advance today.
In 1898 the trans-Mississippi memor
ial issue came out. it embraced
nine stamps, from 1 cent to $2. The 31
• and $2 values of this issue are much
scarcer than tne corresponding val
ues of the Columbus stamps. The cen
tenary of the purchase of the terri
tory of Louisana was commemorated
in 1904 by five special stamps—1, 2, ,
and 5 cents—and for the Jamestown
Exposition in 1907, celebrating the
three hundredth anniversary of the
settlement there, the first English set
j tlement in the United States, a spe
cial issue of three stamps appeared.
The 1-cent value had a portrait of
Captain John Smith, the 2-cent one a
view of Jamestown, and 5-cent stamp
a portrait of Pocahontas. Then came
the three single issue of 1909.
The 4-cent stamp issued last year
when the aerial postal service was es
tablished between this city, Philadel
phia, and Washington, might be termed
a commemorative issue. It only re
mained in use a short time, as the
postage was reduced to 12 cents and
again reduced tc 6 cents, which is the
present rat. The design of the stamp
! has not been changed, but the 6-cent
aerial postal stamp is orange in color,
• while the 24-cent variety was red and
black. Good used specimens of the
latter are now worth much more than
it orifinally cost at face value.
MANY DRINKS FOR DRY TIME j
The realization that in a short time
prohibition will be in effect has brot
to light many old-time recipes for:
naking light wines and beverages as
•veil as talk of new experiments. Thos.
i. Farrell, assistant manager of the
Waldorf, who has heard many inter
esting discussions relative to these old
time recipes, said yesterday that it
i was surprising to learn with what
! ease liquors, beer, ale and wines could
be made with home-grown ingredients
and how widespread the custom must
j have been among our forefathers.
“Almost every hour brings me new
: knowledg of the subject," he said,
‘for after a conversation with a man
from the South a few days ago I
; found his ideas so interesting that I
started a list of the drinks that could
i be made, and several other guests of
the hotel on hearing of my interest in
the matter are now dropping into the
; office with new information.”
Mr. Farrell aid that the simplest of
all to make, and one that he predicted
would become very popular, was the
■‘Hum-Dinger,” made simply by stick
ing a red-hot poker into a glass of
hard cider, after the manner of mull
ed ale.
"Near beer,” he said, ” with four
aisins added to each bottle, and al
lowed to stand for twelve hour*, adds
a zest.
“Hessian rum is made with prunes,
: -.is and water. Oat meal will do, and
! he quantities must be learned by the
j xperimenter. Again, a wait of two
1■ veeks is necessary before imbibing,
j “From the Middle West I gleaned
I this one: Sweet cider put through m
ordinary cream separator—with no
thought of consequences to the sepa
rator, for it will gum up badly—results
in something unusual to -say the least
but called ‘Jersey Lightning.'
“Grape juice, yeast and water—and
time, just a few brief days, is one of
the most often mentioned recipes, and
although I have yet to meet it face to
face, I doubt not that it is good.
•,Frozen cider, as almost everyone
knows, makes a splendid champagne;
that is, the part which does not freezs.
The frozen party is really sherbet. |
"Then there remains the chance of:
experimenting with rye, barley, rice,
tne oreaktast foods, and cottonseed.
And it is certain that with the addition
of raisins, prunes, yeast, and such,
will give more or less satisfactory re-’
suits."—New York Times.
CANNERY NEWS
The Alaska-Pacific plant at Big
Port Walter is one of the most import
ant salt herring stations in Alaska,;
having put up last year 10,600 bbls..!
the largest pack made at any one es
tablishment in addition to 20,500 cas-'
?s of canned herring and nearly 18,
C00 cases of salmon.
——o-■
The Southern Alaska Canning com
pany of Seattle has acquired the entire
capital stock of the Alaska-Pacific
Herring company, consolidating thart
company's herring and salmon can
nery at Big Port Walter, Alaska, with
its own properties, and the Alaska-Pa
cific Herring company has been discon
tinued as a separate concern. The of
ficers of the Southern Alaska cmpany
are: Einar Beyer, president and manag
er: Eigil Euschmann, vice-president
and general superintendent: and H. B.
Grung, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Byeer
has been actively engaged in the Alas
ka salmon canning industry for sever
al years, having taken a leading part
in the organization cf both companies
referred to, as well as the Pacific
Mildcure company: and Mr- Busch
mann is one of the most thorough
going cannerymen on the Coast, hav
ing been in touch with the business
since early youth, when his father took
a prominent part in the development
of the Southeast Alaska fishery.
One of the most notable additions to
the salmon canning capacity of South
eastern Alaska is tne Port Walter
plant of the Alaska Herring & Sar
dine company, now owned by the Wil
son nsneries company, which was
completely rebuilt last summer, too
late fo rthe canning season, and is j
practically a new plant. The main |
building is 80 feet, by 368 feet, two i
full stories and loft, and the equip-1
ment includes five lines of salmon can
ning machinery and three lines tor!
herring, with two complete lines of A
merican C311 company can-making,
machinery. The plant also includes1
a by-products outfit made by the Cal-:
forma Press Manufacturing company.,
A new can-making line has also been:
installed in the Wi'scn Fisheries com- i
oany’s Ketchikan cannery. Each plant j
is being outfitted for about 100,000:
cases.
Equal wages for women are now
demanded. But after sizing up the
pay envelope of the average man in
comparison with their own. are they
sure they really want it.
