Preparations have been completed for
the third annual State Corn Exhibition

Der of inquiries received, it is safe to
predict unusual interest in the event this

than $500 will be offered in premiums.
There will be five classes this year, four
for individual exhibitors, and one for
Oranges.
A special feature aside from the above
classes, will be an exhibit made by Della
ware boys who registered in the Corn
Growing Contest last spring These boys
exhibited ten sample stalks Of their corn
at the New Castle County Fair, where
they attracted much attention. Three
classes are open to boys, one from each
county to which four prizes will be
awarded. Thirty-two boys are registered
in this contest.
A special class OF the regular exhibition
is offered for the ten ears of corn of any
variety or color shelling the greatest nun.
ber of ounces of grain.
There will also be contest between
the Oranges of each county for the best
exhibit of ten ear samples grown by
six individual members OF Grange. A
first and a second prize will be given in
each county and silver cup as sweep
stakes.
The Corn Show is held earlier this year
in order that the State Board of Agricul-
ture may have the opportunity to select
samples of corn to send to the National

Elected Grand Chancellor
Marshallton entertained about 140
guests Thursday at the annual meeting
of the Grand Lodge OF Delaware,
Knights Of Pytbias, and it was probably
the biggest day the lodge in that place
ever experienced. At the afternoon ses-
sion the grand officers were elected, as
followe:G Gfand ChanceIor,- II. S. BeAstelI.
Damon Lodge, No. IL, Of MiddletoWn;
Grand Vice-Chancellor, G. A. Short,

Grand Master OF the Exchequer, Lemuel

Atwell, Delta Lodge, No. "a, Laurel;
Grand Inner Guard, James ]. Cohen,
Calanthia Lodge, No. %, Wilmington;
Grand Outer Guard, Charles HilIegas,
Lafayette Lodge, No. 2, Wilmington,
and Supreme Representative Joseph c.
Jolls, Middletown. The latter position
was heatiIy contested for as it means to
represent the Grand Lodge of Delaware
at the Supreme Lodge meeting to be held
in Milwaukee next August.
Little business other than the election
OF these officers and swearing them into
their position was done than OF a routine
nature, which was not made public. A
letter from the Great Council of Delaware,
Improved Order OF Red Men, inviting the
Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias, to at
tend the dedication Of the Red Mems
Fraternal Home at Newark, was read.
The morning session was not as active
as the afternoon, owing to the fact that
only the annual reports were read and a
few minor business matters transacted.
The annual address of the grand cham
celor, Max Ephraim, of Wilmington,
was one of the most interesting the grand
lodge has ever heard. He reviewed the
work of the year and gave considerable
valuable advice to the members in their
future course.
