THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE WEDNESDAY, OCT. 13, 1937 BIG DEMAND FOR quests on First Mail— Expects Thousands Indication, that sale of the new ska stamp which will be avail- e at the local postoffice Novem- 12 will run into large figures reflected in the ‘first “bunch. of requests for ahe stamps received by Postmaster Albert Wile. Last night's mail brought more than 300 re- quests to the Postmaster's office and this is only a forerunner of what may be expected, he antici- pates. The requests are from all parts of the world. The Postmaster has ordered 400,000 of the new stamps and he expects to sell around 30,000 the first day. The stamps will go on sale here a day eariler than anywhere else | The Alaska stamp Is .84 by 144 inches in dimensions, arranged hor- | izontally. It will be purple in color‘ and printed in sheets of 50 by the rotary process. The central sub- | ject of the stamp is a reproduction of Mount McKinley in the distance, while in the foreground are de- picted views symbolizzing present- day developments in the Territory. In a narrow panel with dark ground across the top of the stamp is the inscription: ‘“United States| Postage—Three Cents" in white go- thic. The numeral “3" appears in| a square panel with dark ground in each lower corner of the stamp. In a narrow panel with dark ground at the center of the lower edge of the stamp Is the name “Alaska” in white roman For the guidance of stamp col- lectors, the Postoffice Department has issued the following statement: “Stamp collectors desiring first- day cancellations of the new stamp on November 12 may send a lim- ited number of addressed covers, not in excess of 10, to the Postmas- ter at Juneau with a cash or postal money order remittance to cover only the cost of the stamps required for aftixing. Postage stamps will positively not be accepted in pay- ment. Each cover should bear a pencil endorsement in the upper right corner to show the number of stamps to be attached thereto, which will obviate the necessity of sending a letter of instructions with the covers. Envelopes for covers should not be smaller than 3 by 6 inches, and space allowance must Le made for the larger Size of the stamp. Compliance cannot be made with unusual requests, such as for the affixing of plate number blocks, etc., and all covers must be fully addressed.” | ., — Maine sells about 35000 fishing licenses annually to persons from other states.

Cupid has stolen top biiling from OI' Man Divorce in this one time “prairie Reno” But oldtimers recall with relish anecdotes of the discontented wives and husbands who flocked here from nearly every state, from Eu- rope, and even the Hawailan and Philippine Islands between 1890 and 1907. South Dakota’s liberal laws of that day brought them, and attorneys, commonly referred to the city as “Sue Falls.” Files of the cases for that era dis- play threads of humor in the tap- estries of marital tragedy. A bride left her husband after two weeks “because he was insane- ly jealous of the milkman” A Wis- consin, buttermaker ‘complained his wife had only taken two baths since their marriage. An Englishman came here to free himself from a wife “who put her cold feet on me in bed.” Today due to Iowa and Minne- laws which require a 5-day waiting period before marriages, Sioux Falls is the mecca of hun- dreds of brides and groom each year s “Shot in Arm” Give to Plants, Too, Now WASHINGTON, Oct. 13—Govern- {ment scientists are trying “shots” in the arm” to make plants im- {mune to disease.

Plant scientists until recently be- lfeved breeding was the only way |to produce disease resistance in plants. e MINE OWNER OUTSIDE Mr. and Mrs. L. H.
