lowing officers we're nominated; for

dent, Mr.. Schofield; for treasurer, Cod
frey Schmidheiser; for secretary,
George Scott. These officers are at
present in Office and all are nomi-
mated for another term of n year,
which will begin pm January LIST 1922.
There were no other nominations so it
is a fairly safe bet that they will be
elected on August 18th, when the cleo
ton takes place.
The following nominations were
made for the Board of Trustees to
serve a three-year term: Pagan, Bas-
tian, Evleth and DR.. Yoder. Two of
