The dreadnoughts that arrived yesterday were but a part of the. fleet already stationed here. Permission to visit the ships was granted and thousands thronged aboard today. A number of destroyers, which also have teen on overseas duty, are now on the way to this port but the exact time of their arrival has not been made known.

SELECTING

) By J. C. Kline. The state of Indiana has been di - vided into five different sections. Each section according to its location are required to Bhow corn of a standard length. In Wayne county which is in section 3, the ears must be 10 inches loos. A cut of one point for each inch short is made. Many corn men are finding some difficulty in finding ears of the proper length since the corn is much shorter than it was when husked. Even though the ears are somewhat short don't fail to exhibit on that account since all exhibitors are having the same trouble. Make up this deficiency by having extra good kernels, good butts and good tips or any of the points on the score card. 4. Tips of Ears 5 points. It seems to be the hobby of some inexperienced exhibitors to put too much emphasis on one or two points of the score card. For Instance they will pay more attention to the selection of the tips and butts of the ear than they do in the selection of the kernel and shape of the ear. If you don't have a good shaped ear and a good deep, well formed kernel but have found a fine tip on the ear don't use that ear because the shape and kernel are worth 20 points and the tip is worth 5 points. The tip should not Officers Elected for Grace Sunday Sckool The following officers were elected at a meeting of the Grace M. E. Sunday School recently: C. H. Kramer, supt; O. F.

High Explosive Material is Dumped Into Sea (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Dec . 27. By order of the railroad administration, some hundreds of thousands of pounds of high explosive material including T. N. T. and picric acid, the property of the French and Italian governments, is being towed out to sea from South Amboy, N. J., and dumped overboard 35 miles from the Scotland Neck lightship. This plan has been adopted as the only practical and immediate method of getting rid of 228 car loads of the material which has been parked outside of Wilmington, Del., for some time awaiting transportation. There are now only a few cars left, but the owning governments have saved some of the material in the past few days by having it loaded aboard ships. Some of the material is worth more than a dollar a pound, but practically none of it can be utilized for any other shells. The dumping of the explosives from South Amboy will not be finished until Monday.
