 Resolved by Che Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America ln Congress as- omblod.

 laimant for more than dve claims was discussed In tc senate as to the interpretation or eh words "one -laImaut" Senator Poindoxtor's opin- lon was chat Che Senate would in- torprot it to mean that if corpo- ration owned five claims. or more than dyo claims. that particular cor uoratlon could not have thc bonit 0f thls resolution for more than five claims Also. if @ partnership or am individual owned five or moro claims hat particular partnership or that particular individual could not have thc benefit of ths resolution for moro than five claims
 During 1917 and 1918 assess ment work was required on oil placer cIuIms but In the present rcs- 1uu0n a0octiug assessment work for 1919 no mention is made Of oii placer claims; and it would seem therefore that no assessment work would be required during 1919 for  0l claims

MILLION DOLLARS

A Washington dispatch to Che Sc atuc Times of a recent date says.
 By % chain of peculiar and some what intricate legislative cIrcum. stances. Alaska tbh summer lost flr 100000 Delegate George B. Gr.ss by. for several weeks previous Go hi. departurc for Che West Go take ur matters In connection with his clcc- uou contest made determined efforts to recover tha amount from tho treasury. and hcro is some prob ability that Che cGort win be crown ed with success
 Tho uIc of mis lost million has to do with naval appropriations. the Alaskan coat doids. thc passage oi three lI1crcnt biHs and Ono fact nat One Navy Department has for several months past been having a busy ume m transporting troops from Europe and iu organizing Che Pacific ueot
 On July f last year, there was passed @ naval appropriation bin of sf5u0OUOO for iucl aui supplies This appropriation included au Itom of sl.o0o.o00 Go bc used m making au investigation Of Che Alaska coal. u opening up a coal mine in thPt section. building bunkeu and doing such work 1s was found necessary to furnish Alaskan luol to Che Pacific ucct
 The navy at thc umc bad num- bcr of other very important matters m hand. Il was late iu the soason before an officer was available. and 10 was probably thought best Co put Che work oT uu thh summer. Last February another low wes passed. lt provided chat all of Che mcXpoudcd funds u thc hands of che Navy be recouycrtcl to Che Treasury On July II. this year. another naval ap- nr.auon was made The Alaska tom was Included. and Che measure provided Chat Che money should bc furnished from Che uueXponded funds appropriated in Che bin iuat year The fact lhat thcso moucys had been paid back Into Che trcas- ury was entirely overlooked.
 This icavcs thc Navy Department under instructions Of Congress Go spend s1.oo0.oo0 in opening coal muo and building bunkcrs in Alas ka. but Che necessary money for Che work Us ma Che Treasury and there is no way of getting it out again without a special net ot Congress

 EucIent work can not bc come mencoJ m Che snow leaves Che ground next spring. but it is a fairly safe bet that when tho appropr.a- uou Is made again navy officials win sec Go it chat some Of the money Ia expended in contracting for supplies or otherwise before any body gets chance to put over an- other bul rcvcrt'ng unoXponded

CITY MISSION TAKING ON
RENEWED ACTIVITIES
Officers of City Mission Elected and
Experienced Worker Is Procured
as Acting Superintendent
Play Thursday VIII Bring
In Funds.

The Maysville City Mission, which
in the past has accomplished much
good in the community by relieving
suffering among the poor, is expected
to take on new life and go forward in
its good work with renewed energy.
A new corps of officers was elected
at meeting of the executive board
held Tuesday at the Mission rooms in
the Caproni building. The election re-
suited as follows:
President-Mrs. T. NJ. Russell.
Vice President-Mrs. James B. Ross.
Treasurer-Mrs. r. B. Lowell.
Secretary-Miss Minerva Stockton.
These women are all very much in
terested in the work being carried on
by the City Mission. They are all wo-
men who believe in seeing anything
go forward to which they are attach
ed and it is safe to predict that the
City Mission will do great things for
the poor of Maysville and vicinity dur
ing the coming winter.
Mrs. Matte Fountain, an expert
enced worker, has agreed to undertake
the work as Superintendent temper
arily and will begin her services i'm
mediately.

TOBACCO MARKET WILL
OPEN TUESDAY, DEC. 9
Maysyllle Tobacco Association Fixes
Date For Opening Of Local Market
at Time Predicted u Few
Weeks Ago.

There was a very interesting meet
ing of the Maysville Tobacco Associa-
ton held at the Chamber of Commerce
building Tuesday evening when plans
for the 1920 tobacco season were
discussed thoroughly by the ware
housemen and buyers and the date for
the formal opening of the market was
fixed Tuesday, December 8, just one
week after the opening of the LeXing-
ton market.
This is the date usually fixed by the
local tobacco men but last season the
market was not opened until after the
first of the year. This arrangement
was not at all satisfactory to the
growers and to the majority of the
warehousemen.
Although there will be no extra
floor space on the local market this
year above the floor space Of last year,
1t is certain that the local houses can
handle the crop grown in this section
we'll. The warehouses this year will
be organized as never before and 1t Is
certain that the tobacco sold over the
Maysville market will bring as good
price as If sold any other place in the
state.

WOMEN AT WORK

During the war, millions of women
have been at work in vocations into
which they have never before been
called,-in Munition Factories, Chem
ical Works, Metal Works, Steel Rail-
ways, and as Ambulance Drives, Bar
bers, and Elevator Girls. Undoubted-
ly thousands of others have longed to
serve in this way, but because of fe-
male ailments, which had fastened up
on them, were not able to do so. Wo-
men in this condition should give
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound trial and find health and
strength, as thousands of others have
so done.

:"THE SMARTER SET"

Another movement that is describ-

Egyptian dancing is called the mum

Howell, with "The Smarter Set" bet
ter known as "The Smart Set, headed
by the foremost comedians Salem Tut
Whitney and ]. Homer Tut, who will
present their latest musical creation
entitled 1.-THE Children of the Sun" at
the Washington on Saturday night.
THE Smarter Set" is not new or
ganization, but one that has stood the
test years before the now popular jazz
had gained fame, these folks were
travelling about the county with their
musicar shows, under the title of THE
Smart Set" and have prospered, while
their present musical comedy "The
Children of the Sun" is conceded to
be exceedingly original and full of
