HARVEY HUNGRY-HE ATE

When Mr.. Pal Peer put the family
luncheon in the tent of the Interna-
tional Harvester Company, on the
fair grounds Thursday, he thought
it would be safe. The tent was in
charge of Harvey McInturff an ell
derby Woodstock citizen, employed as
Waterman by the Shenandoah Farm
ers' Union.
1t is alleged that when the Peer
family felt the pangs of hunger they
sought the food-ladened basket in
the Harvey guarded tent However.
when they got there the basket was
empty and Harvey was full, and this
is the reason for his fullness: Ac-
cording to an inventory he had eaten
two fried chickens, II ham sand
witches, two dozen devilled eggs, one
box cake, two pies and a quantity
of raw tomatoes. Special officer Blu
! ford Hoover placed the well-flled
Waterman under arrest, but he was
! later released, as the Peers did not
care to prosecute.

OFFERED $780, 900 PROFIT

Paul l.. James. Elkton, and New
York associates refused an advance
of $4,000 on their purchase of the
"Grottoes of the Shenandoah it was
announced by Mr. Frank L. Littell
of Grottoes, Nh. James and his as
sociates paid $3.50. 900 f6r the cav
erns week ago. buying it from the
Perkey Brothers.
The new bidders were a group of
capitalists from a Virginia city, who
believe with the development of the
Blue Ridge mountains as a National
Park, the caverns will constitute one
of the biggest money makers in the
Valley. Their names were not an
nounced by Mr.. Littell.
The Grottoes of the Shenandoah
are ideally located from the Nation
al Park. They are virtually on the
edge of the proposed park site and
near the entrance that would be con
structed via Browns Gap.
1t is understood that outside capt
talists have made bid to Charles d.
Shank for the Massanutten Caverns,
which he recently purchased and is
now developing

DROUGHT STILL ON

Other sections of Virginia have
been blessed with heavy rains. Some
parts of the Valley have had saving
showers. Even sections of Shenan-
doah County have had copious rains,
but locally the aridness continues, al
though intermittent showers during
the week have fallen. The water sit
uation has lost none of its acuteness.
The reservoir is still low and the flow
at the intake is just enough to meet
the domestic demands when the sup
ply is sparingly used. There should
be no necessity of warning water con-
sumers to use just as little as pos
sible until relief is had from the un-
precedented drought in this area.
Every town in the Valley is affected.
Indeed the water supply of all south
ern towns has been either at a low
ebb or cut off entirely One consola-
ton, it will be different next year.
Woodstock will then have plenty of
water.

VISIT CAVERNS
Caravan From Washington Spend
Night at Shenandoah Caverns
Delighted With Trip

Sponsored by Westcott Post, Amer
lean Legion of Washington, caravan
of legionaires from the District of
Columbia, motored to Shenandoah
Caverns on Saturday, and the party
of eighty were the guests of Mr..
Hunter B. Chapman. president of the
Caverns Company.
Members of the Woodstock post
met the caravan at Strasburg, where
luncheon was served and welcoming
addresses made. The legionaires
were entertained by Robert T. Bar
ton Post in Winchester and the en-
tire journey from the District to the
caverns was thoroughly enjoyed
Arriving at the caverns late Satur-
day evening, the party was taken
through the fairyland and there was
unanimity of wonderment at the
massiveness of the caverns and ex-
pressions of amazement at the many
and varied beautiful formations
therein.
In the party were some who had
visited other eaverns and these had
no hesitation in saying that the Dia-
mond Cascade, Rainbow Lake and
other outstanding features were the
most beautiful which they had ever
seen.
After spending the night at the
Caverns Hotel the legionaires left for
making part of the jour
ney through a terrific electrical storm
but as many of them had faced the
storm of shot and shell on the Meuse
and Argonne they faced the lightning
play without a qualm.

says:
