values on those which have increased or
decreased. Upon your death these
stamps, either in partial lots, if the col-
lection is large, or in one lot, if it is
small, could be placed in the hands of the
committee whose duty it would be to sell
the stamps at the price they are marked.
They could then deduct commission of
about 122 or 15 per cent for their work.
These stamps could be circulated among
the members of the Texas Philatelic As-
sociation very much like we are now cir-
culating sales books. All the stamps, of
'course, would not be sold the first time
or the first year, but those upon which
the prices were right and those stamps
for which their was a demand would be
sold. After the stamps have 'been circu-
lated one time, deduction in the price
could be agreed upon between the rela-
tives and the Society and finally theyv
would be disuosed of very much like thev
would at an auction only that the stamp:;
would be reduced after each circulation
instead of starting from the bottom an,'
gnoIn up.
If this plan would be adopted by all
members of the Texas Philatelic Asso-
ciation the members could arrange their
collections with this idea in mind and it
would also enable them to make such no-
tations under particular stamps which
would be of help to the sales committee,
who sold the stamps, as well as to the
relatives. I, personally, feel that unless
we devise a way to take care of the
stamps of departed members, the big aim
of the Society will remain unfilled. Of
course, if you have your collection only
o r your personal pleasure and your
ranily can well do without this financial
assistance upon your death, or if you
have no desire to see that your collecting
ronerly taken care of or properly sold,
"' ; nT 1 do as we are all now doing,
ju-st collect and upon death let your ac-
cumulations be scattered to the fjir
winds, to the one who comes first or the
one who can talk the smoothest.
Our resignation as Examiner for the A.
S. P. was presented to the Society at their
last convention, so most any minute I may
hear of some one else's appointment. I
hope my successor will find as much en-
joyment in this work as I had. This will
give me a little more time to devote to my
own stamps and also to the Texas Phila-
telic.AN UNCATALOGUED VARIETY
