TEN YEAR OLD BOY
ENTERS THE CONTEST
FOR BIG CORN Prize
BERNARD MONTGOMERY, Or WA.
TER VALLEY, FIRST 70 BE
ENROLLED.
MUCH INTEREST IS MANIFESTED
CT x <sx..A,...
Secretary Has Received . Number Of
Inquiries From Boys Over the coun-
Unexpected Entries viii Come In
Fast From Now Until April I.

Interest In the corn contest for
boys under eighteen years conducted
by the Board of Trade Ii increasing
rapidly. A number have already call
ed at the Office of the Secretary and
have requested the entrance blanks,
while many inquiries have been re-
ceived over the phone. It is expect
ed that before the time for the con-
test entries to close, on April l, there
will be between fifty and one hundred
contestants.
To Bernard Montgomery, of Water
Valley, belongs the distinction OF be-
ing the first boy In the county to en-
ter the contest. He Is only ten years
old but writes the secretary that he
is going after the 500 in gold In dead
earnest He says in his letter. which
is in his own handwriting showing
the chirography of the boy, that he Is
ten years old, that he has never
plowed, but he Is going to plant an
acre of clover land In corn and cul-
tivate it. This boy has the metal In
him that pre:ages success.
When 1t Is remembered that last
year In eleven Southern States there
were more than $4,000 members of
boys corn clubs, that of this number
more than 100 raised over 100 bushels
to the acre, or an average Of 1876
bushels to the acre, some idea OF the
revival of interest In corn culture in
this section can be obtained. One boy
in West Tennessee, Norman Smith,
of Covington, raised 1851 bushels on
one acre and received handsomely
engraved diploma from the Secretary
of Agriculture.
Not only are the boys interested in
the corn contest but 30 are the mer-
chants 81 the city. A prominent mer-
chant stated to the Secretary OF the
Board of Trade that he was going to
give nice present to the boy who
won the prize in addition to the 800
in gold that he would secure.

TEXAS MANEUVERs USED
TO FORM MILITARY UNIT
So Says Gen. Carter---FirSt
Time Since Civil War-Re-
adjustments Demanded
(By Associated Prsss.)


WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-The real pur-
pose Of the recent great assemblage of
troops in Texas, aside from international
consideration. was the creation of one
tremendous military unit; and that was
successfully accomplished for the first
time since the civil war. in the opinion
of Major General Carter, the command
er-in-chief of the maneuver division.
Five times the cost of this operation
would not measure the value to the
country of the experiment, declared Gen.
eral Carter. II was the first opportunity
that the modern army had to get to-
gether all branches of the service, the
infantry. the cavalry, the artillery, the
transportation and subsistence depart
ments, and to make thorough test of
what had been purely theoretical esti-
mates of the proper balance between
them. AS might have been expected. 1t
was soon found that there was need
for considerable readjustment of the
relative numerical strength of the vari-
Gus branches to make one perfect whole.
This problem was worked out by the
test of actual practice, and General Car
ter feels that when he left Texas there
had been brought into being the perfect
military unit which had been so long de-
sired by army strategists.
Future plans of the department con-
template the creation OF a number OF
such units in the different military di-
visions which. in skeleton form, will
represent the entire mobile strength of
the United States army on war foot

Fifty years ago today active operations
on the Potomac. so long to be their
scene, began, when a small flotilla OF
federal steamers bombarded Confederate
batteries at Acquia creek situated on
the Virginia bank of the river about 80
miles below Washington.
No engagement could have been less
productive of results. The bombardment
lasted over three days and some hun
dreds of shot and shell were fired, yet
the total casualties were a scratch or
two and a wounded finger, the steamers
were not severely damaged and the bat
teries still remained.
The affair. however, was no discredit
to either side. On the second day or
the bombardment the federal comman-
der, fleet officer James H. Ward, took
his three little unarmored vessels with
their total of six guns well within the
range of the battery. where the poorest
gun was better than his best.
The Confederates showed no less cour-
age when on the following day the war
steamer Pawnee was added to the flo
tilla, and from her heavier guns began
to rain shot and shell on the batteries.
Through it all w f. Lynch. the COM
manding officer, held his post, glass in
hand, O. the ramparts, target for all
shots, watching the vessels and direct
ing the fire o. his guns against them.
On both sides the men and even the
officers, with the exception of the COM
manders, we're unframed volunteers.
AcQUIA CREEKS IMPORTANCE
In 1861 the railroad north from Fred
ericksburg. on the Rappahannock ended
at Acquia Creek, which flows into the
Potomac from the west just where the
river makes a wide sweep to the east.
