TWO BOYS HELD ON
 BURGLARY CHARGES

Meridian. Miss. October 27.-(Spe- cial)-Two small white boys, Frank
 McKinnon and Rowland Eatman, each
 about IA years old, the latter with
 pistol in his pocket, have been ar-
 rested by the police and charges of
 burglary and larceny docketed
 against themein connection with en-
 trance into the office of the filling
 station of the Standard Oil company
 here. According to the police, both
 youngsters have admitted their guilt. In their confession. the police say, the lads claim that one of them, Frank McKinnon, remained on the outside to watch while the other, Rowland Eatman. entered the office, and that when the police were noti- fled that someone was in the office. and while they were making an ex- l animation. the McKinnon boy ap- preached and was held up to the | transom by one of the officers to l look on the inside for the supposed
 burglar. He reported that he could l see no one. Then he was sent across
 the street to police headquarters for flashlight. The door of the office 1 being locked the police came to the | conclusion that it was false alarm | and they left Next morning it was :, found that the office really had been ] robbed and that while the McKinnon ] boy was looking over the transom
 his pal was on the inside, and later
 made his getaway, only to be cap 1 tured later. Bloodhounds placed on the track trailed about the city hall l and police headquarters, thence out | to near the home of one of the boys ! where the track was lost when it
 was evident the burglars had climbed l to the top of fence which they
 walked to prevent the hounds from l tracking them.

 25,OOO BALES EXPECTED

Huntsville, october 27.-(Special.) Cotton experts who have been figur- ing on the probable yield of cotton in Madison county believe that this years crop will be not less than 25,- 900 bales. and most of 1t is already picked and ginned. The continued fair weather during October permit ted the picking without interruption, and all of the cotton gotten out was of good grade and brought top prices. It is estimated that about half of the crop is being placed in warehouses to await higher prices. The cotton planters are in excellent flnancia condition and the average small far mer this season has found himself able to pay his debts of last yeaI and his expenses of this year and stil have some money ,eft over.

The Upper Silesian question is but

have been made to it. We hope the

THE UPPER SlLESIAN QUESTION

11PPER Silesia is about the size of the |
State of Connecticut. The Yer
sailles Treaty provided, that there should
be a plebiscite of the inhabitants to de-
termine whether they wished to remain
a part of Germany or become part Of
the new Republic of Poland. The Ger
mans knew of the approaching vote and
rushed as many of their nationals into
the country as they could. The vote
was taken, and, in spite of the efforts
of the Germans to influence the result
in their favor. the Poles registered a
great victory, and under the terms of

entitled to the territory Of Upper ST.

Great Britain has sent troops to see
