has announced that he will claim the
land for the State Of Maine and a naval
officer at banquet, supposed to be
speaking for Secretary Wilbur, is
quoted as having asserted the Navy
would back up such claim.
These statements are not taken
ernment, which let's It be known that
discussion of the subject in advance
serves no useful purpose.
The Macmillan expedition has de-
parted on its northward voyage and
for the time being at least the prob
lem of who owns the unexplored area
Is not going to trouble officials here

madam government will not be per
turbed about it.
Comdr. Byrd Comes to Fore
Incidentally. the failure Of Amund-
sen to reach the pole by airplane
has stirred up considerable interest in
the exact orders given Comdr. Byrd
with respect to Che flying he does in
the Arctic. Technically. he is under
orders from the Navy Department and
ranks co-ordinately with Macmillan.
Comdr. Byrd Is to be the judge of
where the planes shall go because he
alone knows flying conditions. Mac
Millan's objective has never been the
pole. but the unexplored area. New
ertheless, with the pole SO close to the
region that has never been explored,
Comdr. Byrd is anxious to accom-
plish for the United States Navy the

Weeks Resignation to Cut Wealth

ernment has a very sound investment.
The Mellon fortune was made in vari-
Gus ways. in railroads, banking and
Oil, as we'll as steel. 1t has many
ramif1cations.
Hoover Ranked Next.
Secretary Hoover generally is rated
as the second richest man in the
cabinet, but here again nothing like
a precise estimate has been made.
Washington believes the Secretary of
Commerce to be worth anywhere from
IS, ,000, 900 to SO, ,000, 900, possibly much
more. Mr.. Hoover made his money
in mining and other investment. He
has had mining interests all over the
world.
Secretary Kellogg is what might be
called a very quiet and unobtrusive
millionaire. Few of his old colleagues
in the Senate realized how much he
was worth. Today his fortune has
been estimated at $5,000.000, most of
it accumulated in a very lucrative
practice Of the law. When Mr.. kel-
logg left the Senate he probably was
the richest Tame duck of recent
'excusing" Col. T. Coleman
du Pont. who lost to Democrat in
1922, but who has now come back
In triumph from the little State of
Delaware.
Secretary Weeks fortune was made
as a banker and a broker. when he
was a member of the Boston firm of
Hornblower & Weeks.
Davis Began Poor.
Secretary Davis, the richest man
ever to hold the Labor portfolio in
a cabinet, began life in this country
as an iron puddler. He became a mil
lionaire through his work in organ
izing the Loyal Order Of Moose and
as banker in Mr.. Melons home
town Of Pittsburgh.
Secretary Work. probably the lean
est" of the cabinet millionaires, ac-
cumulated his fortune through prac-
tice Of medicine, through careful in
sanatorium.
Secretaries Wilbur and Jardine,
Postmaster Gen. New and Attorney
General Sargent have Journeyed
through life without feeling the
thrill of great riches or the impulse
to get them.
When Secretary Weeks resigns, as
it is understood his family is now
trying to induce him to do at an
early date, there will be much specu-
lation as to the flnancia standing of
his successor.
Once the Senate was known as the
Mtllionaires' Club. Today the cabinet
has won the sobriquet.

BANS FILING CLAIM
TO UNKNOWN AREA
Lands Macmillan May Dis
cover Future Issue, State
Department Says.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

The Department of State would be
just as happy If the discussion over
who shall claim the land the MacMil-
Ian expedition may discover would
cease.
This in effect is the answer which
Macmillan himself received from the
Government here just before his de-
parture for the North.
Washington officials realize that the
reiterated predictions of the American
expedition that land would be found
and claimed for the United States have
not been any too we'll received in Can
ada and that every time the subject
has been raised 1t has added an irri-
tation which in the end may prove to
have been wholly superfluous.
Question Still Undetermined.
In the first place, nobody is certain
there is land in the unexplored area.
Hence the Department OF State re-
fuses to enter into a hypothetical
controversy with SO good a neighbor
as Canada. When land is discovered
ana its location definitely known
and perhaps its value, too-there will
be time enough, in the opinion of off,
clals here, to take the subject up with
Canada and reach an amicable under
standing g to the future status Of the
territory.
AS it is now the claims of the past
are very vague and permit of plenty
OF controversy. But the Washington
Government sees no profit in arguing
about it. The Canadian government
has not made formal protest to the
United States. contenting itself with
informal conversations on the subject
with the Navy Department here, which
is sending the flyers to the North.
Secretary Wilbur referred the matter
to the Department of state in re-
spouse to the inquiries Of Macmillan,
too, but the State Department pur-
sued a discreet silence.
Macmillan Claims for Maine.
When Macmillan asked the status
Of the case, he was told there was

the North Pole than the point in
SpitZbergen from which Amundsen
hoped of, and also within easy cruls-
ing range of the North Pole
The great achievement Of the ex-
pedition will be to put an airplane
base farther north than ever before.
When this is accomplished there is
no telling what remarkable things may
be done by the American flyers and
explorers.

that the first work of the Macmillan.

left. and the planes are in good con-

attempted.

War Prices Show Shrinkage i'm Fred
erick Farms-Three Sold

Three of the farms involved in the
recent assignment of R. j. and R. H.
Lantz to Judge E. D. Newman, Judge
F. S. Tavenner and ]. NJ. Bauserman.
Trustees, for the benefit of their
creditors, were sold by the trustees
on. Monday in Frederick County.
The sale indicated the shrinkage
in value of farming lands acquired
under war conditions, for the prices
offered for the properties were con-
siderably less than the sale values in
the war period.
The Booth farm, at Marlboro, con-
sisting of la acres. was sold for
$4,000 to Ed Everly, which was
$500 less than the original price. :
The farm at Middletown in which
an equity was sold for the benefit
of creditors, brought s10.50O. The
purchaser, Joseph Brumback. paid
5000 for the equity and assumed a
lien held by the Farm Loan Bank
for $500. The farm was valued at
$4,000 and consists of 223 acres.
The Jackson farm, upon which
there are no buildings. and which
adjoins the Booth farm, was sold
subject to lien of $4,000 in favor
of the Valley Joint Stock Land Bank
of Staunton, and the equity brought
$50. The shrinkage in price is in
dicated by the fact that the loan was
carried at far less than the appraisal
value and the farm brought only
$50 more than the lien for the loan.

THAW TOUCHES
HIGH SPOTS
New Virginia Citizen Where Bright
Lights Dazzle

Two New York papers Tuesday
said that Harry X. Thaw had ap-
peared on Broadway again lavishing
tips in cabaret.
Somewhere, says the New York
American, he had found champagne
and had shared several bottles of il
with man companion and with
pretty little Fawn Gray, dancer,
who graced his table"
The New York World says the
male companion was a former po-
liceman who now acts as Thaw's
secretary.
Texas Guinan's new club in the
Roaring Forties is given as the
scene of Thaw's appearance for the
first time since the quashing of kid
mapping indictments removed an OBJ
stacle to his visiting New York. Re-
Gently he has been a gentleman farm
er at Winchester, Va, having been
released from an asylum in Pennsyl-
vania after a series of sensational
legal battles that began when he
killed Stanford White in Madison
Square Garden, 10 years ago.
Every pretty woman received
costly corsage bouquet at the club
late last Sunday night, the stories
relate. A $500 tip went to the or
chestra. Tens, twenties, fifties and
even hundreds went to walters. The
cost of his evening is estimated as
at least $500, and invitations to
future entertainments are said to
have been extended. He is said to
have marveled at changes in the
style of chorus raiment.
Thaw danced every dance with
Fawn Gray and once gave an ex-
of the Charleston, it is set
forth. When Monday morning was
well under way he disappeared in
taxicab. Inquiry at the hotel where
he is staying ELECTED no information.
He is said to have used the name of
Eliot.

PLANS FOR 4 FIVE
COUNTY LEAGUE

The subject of having baseball
teams in the Valley has again bean
brought before the ball fans. Usual
Iy this subject is discussed and then
allowed to die down by most of the
people. A few fans organize a half
hearted aggregation and let it sion
at that. Soon after losing a game
or two, the team breaks up. becansa
no one will practice or there are no
spectators out at the contests.
Several summers ago the Valley
had a fine league, composed of a
great number of paid players. Wood
stock had dandy club, but it cost
her too much money to support it
Right now certain individuals in the
town are paying up old baseball
notes. From this previous exneri-
ence it can be plainly seen that the
towns of the Valley are not able to
support a team financially. There
is no doubt whatever, that it takes 4
good club to bring out the peonle
as no person wants to see a moor
team play. One can easily realize
the difference by comparing the club
of last summer with that of the sum
mer before.
Recently new idea about Valley
baseball has been brought before the
fans, an idea which properly carried
out will afford them real pleasure
through a real team and with no
financial difficulties. The idea is TO
have five-county league, being com
posed of Shenandoah, Rockingham.
Warren, Frederick and Page conn
ties. One team is TO be picked from
each county and each is to go under
the name of the county seat town.
For instance, one from Shenandoah
would be called the Woodstock club
Each town and community in the
county would organize the ball play
ers represented there and pick out
the talent Then from these men
would be picked the best players to
form the team representing the
county. If this idea is carried
through we are bound to have a good
team. Think of all the good play
ers in the county. Shenandoah Coun-
ty has some good ball players. For
instance. Woodstock has Bunny
Watt Hazlett and several
others; Strasburg has Andy" Ten
ant and Doc" Mitchell; Mt. Jackson.
'Peachy" Maloney; Edinburg. Stone
burner. Coffman and three or four
more; New Market has four or five
good ball players. This is just count
ing the fellows at home. Remember
The boys out of town and at school.

and numerous others, Columbia Fur

could be selected from such bunch
If ball players.
Bunny" Laughlin is calling
meeting of the delegates from the
Tarious county towns. The subject
will be discussed a@dsthen taken be-
ore the delegates from the five coun-
les. If We want a ball club, now is
he time to talk it up. and if we
want to get going, now is the time
o start, as the season is right on
land. Get behind the idea and boost
t. and all of us will enjoy some
good, fast baseball this season.

Wonderful Little Corn Waters Re-
move Corns Without Pain in
Remarkably Little While

Any man or woman who may be
troubled with corns should by all
means try O-Joy Corn Waters, the
wonderful little corn remedy that re-
lieves the pain almost instantly and
removes the corn overnight in most
cases. se
o-Joy Corn Waters are nothing but
4 round wafer, thin as paper, that
fits right over the sore and aching
corn. No thick, doughnut-shaped
pad to add to the pressure of the
lhoe. or any offensive liquid to dope
he toe. which often gives but tenn
porary relief through deadening the
nerves.
Simply place the little wafer right
on the corn and forget it. 1t sticks
fast, and in a day or two the corr
comes right out after soaking the toe
in little warm water. No bother
no discomfort, no Inconvenience.
O-Joy Corn Waters cost but tel
cents for a package of six waters; us,
them as directed, and if they fail t.
do the work your money will b,
cheerfully refunded.
