Without dissenting vote the fol-
lowing officers were elected: E. j.

Mr.. Morse, speaking for the board,
said that action had been delayed on
the new building awaiting fall in
prices. At last winter costs the school
Lancaster wants would cost $275,OOO.
The bond issue is for $175,000. How

Withdrawal of Allied
Troops From Silesia

LONDON, June 7-(By. the Asso-

the inter-allied commission to with
draw the allied troops from the
towns in the industrial region of
upper Silesia. unless a withdrawal
of the German defense force begins
forthwith, is grave breach of the
peace treaty.
The note declared the threat of
the inter-allied commission was
population of upper Silesia at the

made the unloosing of civil war in

for the German government to bring

note says that if the industrial re-

Farmers of Berrien
BUSY With Tobacco

NASHVILLE. Ga. June Der
rien county farmers are now pussy
harvesting this years tobacco CROP
many of the most forward fields be-
ing gathered and placed in curing
barns, and within a very short Tune
wagon and truckloads of the product
may be seen en- route to Nashville
for market. 1t is expected that the
crop will bring a high price TINS
year. A quantity was sold in
kentucky town last week at a price
breaking all records. The crop IN
this county this year, while not as
large in acreage as last year, is said
to be of much better quality, and
therefore it is hoped that the money
returns for the county this year Will
be fully as good as last years crop
The other crops of the county are
in fairly good condition, having been
greatly improved by recent rains. AS
a matter of fact, no crops this sea-
son, so far, have greatly suffered for
the want of rain. The melon crop
is said to be of far less acreage
this year than common, as owing TO
the high cost of transportation the
farmers were skeptical at the time
of planting, and for this reason many
acres of melons were at the last
moment placed in some other farm
product.
There is probably more land in
corn this year in Berrien county
than ever before in it's history, and
the crop is looking 1attering just at
this time.
