NO CHURCH CHOIRS
 AT TREE THIS YEAR
Christmas Plans Slightly CurtaiIed - Legion
 Memorial Tomorrow

Decorations have been completed on the community Christmas tree and it will shine in Central park tonight in all it's glory. The Phil harmonic band will furnish Christ mas music and will play carols Tuesday and Wednesday evening of next week.
 Contrary to the usual custom the Christmas tree committee of the Chamber of Commerce at meeting yesterday afternoon decided not to ask church choirs to hold services at the tree during the week. The committee has no objections to these services If any local organization desires to volunteer, but feels that the interest shown by the public last year does not warrant an official re- quest from the committee.
 There will be bugle calls at the three by buglers from drum corps from 11:30 ?. m. to midnight on the two nights preceding Christmas
 Contributions are flowing in stead fly at the chamber office to dcfray the expense of the tree, but Miss Helen NJ. Hurley, acting secretary; reports that more money is needed.
 Tomorrow afternoon the veterans of the World war will have their annual Christmas memorial exer- cises at the Court of Honor in Wal nut Hin park. The exercise will be participated in by all ex-seryice men, who will meet at the Amer ican Legion rooms at o'clock and will march 10 Main street, to West Main, to the park entrance, headed by the Boy Scout drum corps.
 Al the park wreaths will be hung on the pillars in the Court of Honor. remarks will be made by Harry F. scheuy, commander of the Eddy-Glover post, and taps will be blown by the post bugler.

eating continuously into the CONT
nents and islands.
AS a result OF these processes
great beds OF sediment are being
continuously deposited In the ocean.
When rocks are broken into rather
coarse pieces, the resulting debris
is known as gravel. When the de-
bris, consists of fine grains it is
known as sand. Sun finer particles
are known as dust when dry and
mud when wet.
The coarser sediment Is dropped
near shore. while the finer particles
are carried further out into the
ocean. This can DO seen along
many coasts where the shore-line Is
gravel. gradually changing to sand
and then mud as tho distance from
the shore increases.
In addition TO separating the sedi-
ment according to Its size, the water
also causes chemical changes In GER
tain types of sediment, Thus a
sediment OF feldspar is broken down
into simpler products, turning in
time into clay.
But in time the water also has
another very important effect upon
these layers OF sediment
1t makes new rocks out OF them.
Just as men mix sand and lime
to make mortar. the water in time
cements the loose Cediment into
solid rock.
1t will be remembered that the
water contains many minerals in
solution. Some of these minerals
are precipitated or deposited out OF
the water. sinking into the layers
of sediment and cementing them to-
gether into solid rock.
These rocks are called sedl-
mentary rocks.
When gravel is cemented into
solid rock. the resulting rock is
known as conglomerate or breccia.
Sand becomes sandstone by this
process and mud becomes shale.
There is also a class Of sedi-
mentary rocks which consists en-.
tirely Of mineral matter precipated
out OF the water.
third class OF rocks results from
the fact that the ocean is full Of

mails and plants-which have hard
shells. These shells are composed
OF calcium carbonate. When they
die, their shells sink 10 the bottom,
