Germany to Pay Preparation
 To Allies in Merchandise

BRUSSELS, Dec. 28.-(By the As sociated Press. .)-The approximate amount Germany will have to pay in reparation seems likely to be devel- oped at the present conference here btween the Allied and German dele gates. It appears to be agreed that the reparation must be accepted chiefly in goods
 The conversations between the Allied and German experts are pro ceeding so satisfactorily that it is generally believed that the delega- tions will be able at no distant date to tell their governments with some degree of definiteness what Germany is willing to do and also give to them the highest figure which they believe can be obtained from Germany with out too great a depletion of the countrys resources.

NO WIRELESS TO BE
 GIVEN HANCOCK NOW

It is improbable that there will he any early action taken on the petition of the residents of Haycock, in the Koyuk river coun- try, Second Division, for the cstab- lisAment of radio station by the Signal Corps, according to a state ment made by Gov Thomas Riggs this morning. The petition of the citizens of Haycock was forwarded by Gov Rigas to the War Depart nent sometime ago.
 A communication was received today at the Governors office from the Chiee Signal Officer saying that the petition was received too late for inclusion in the estimates for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1921 but would be given considers .ion and if found practicable and advisable would be included in the estimates for the next fiscal year.
 Haycock people will be inform ed by Gov Riggs of his action in the matter and the result.

DOUBT EXISTS
 AS TO MURDER
Aux Bay Natives May Have Come to Their Deaths
 Through Natural Causes.

There is a possibility that no mur- der was committed in the case of Mir. and Mrs. Aux Bay Jimmie whose bodies were brought to Juneau late Friday and upon which an autopsy was performed late yesterday after noon by Dr. w. s. Stein. At the com pletion of the autopsy it was reported to U. s. Commissioner N. l.. Burton and the coroners jury that the bruise on the mans head was very likely an old one and that those found on the woman may have oc- cured during her last illness. There was found to be no serious concus- sion and no fractures that would necessarily cause death.
 The coroner's jury examined the bodies this morning at the undertak- ing parlors and were scheduled to hear testimony in the ctse.
 At a late hour Deputy Marshals N. o. Hrdy and w. R. Garster had not yet returned from Aux Bay wheer they had gone to make inquir ies and to get witnesses, but Com missioner Burton said today that the inquest would be held whether or not the marshals had returned at the hour set.
 The one suspicious circumstance about the two deaths, i is said is the fact that the body of Mrs Aux 1. T days before it was reported to the proper officials and that her hus band succumber so soon after her.

PUTTING IT UP TO FATHER
As Jerry Said, What Could Be Expect
ed of Boy Whose Dad
Would Do That?

High schools of the state, along
with grade schools, are trying to
promote community interest by or
ganizing parent-teacher clubs. But
some of the boys who are not anx-
ious for the "close relation to exist
between their parents and teachers
for reasons of their own, too-are
looking on these organizations with
scorn.
Jerry's Latin teacher sent an in
vitation to his parents to attend a
meeting. He was sure that it would
be refused, but it was accepted. More
than that, his father was elected
president of the organization. Then
Jerry's indignation knew no bounds.
A few days later his mother, indig-
nant over some lack of courage he
had displayed, scolded him for being
Sissy" He spoke in his own de-
Tense:
"Well, mother, what can you ex-
pect of fellow whose father goes
and gets elected president of a moth
ers' club like dad did ?"-Indianapo-

Look Out for Hoppers,

1t is generally figured that the
grasshopper pest ives pretty well
eliminated in Lewis county last
summer by the effective cam
paign waged against them by
County Agent Wade and the
farmers, but in the spring plow-
ing thus far done hereabouts quite
a sprinkling Of eggs have been
discovered. These, it is presumed,
were deposited by the swarm
which came to this section in the
late summer from Camas prairie.
While blowing on his place at
the southwestern edge of town
last Monday, VIM. .Poteet turned
over what at first looked to him
like a hat full Of wheat, but on
closer observation found the sup
posed grains Of wheat to be hop
per eggs, which are the color and
about half the size of this cereal.
."Billie" brought a liberal SAM
pie Of his find to town to ascer-
tain if they were fertile, and show
his friends that his old home state
(Kansas) had nothing on this
prairie even in grasshoppers.
County Agent Wade pronounced
the eggs very much alive, but
stated that so far as he had been
informed the deposits here this
spring are not numerous, but says
it is we'll to be ready for them.
