COBLENZ, Germany. February B.
French troops threatened with bay
onets and used the butt ends Of their
guns at noon today to break up a
crowd Of 1000 persons noisily pro-
testing before the Rhineland high
commission building against the de-
portations of officials.
The two latest deportations were in
the cases OF Johannes Fuchs, ober-
president OF the Rhine province, and
DR.. Russell. oberburgomaster OF Co
blenz. whom the French took into un-
occupied Germany last night. ober-
president Fuchs was arrested and ex-
PEELED for melting German function
aries to disobedience Of the commits
sion's orders.
DUSSELDORF, February 3.-The
temper of the population in the oc-
cupied area appears to be undergo
ing a change, although the indus
trialis.s and the important magnates
are as unalterably opposed as ever
to any cooperation with the French
and Belgisns.

still Have Long Fight.
In Witten. where the restaurant
and hotel keepers have been refusing
to serve food or drinks to French
offioers and soldiers. the situation
has completely changed. No disre-
spect Is now shown toward the forces
Of occupation. The improvement in
the relations between the foreigners
and the population. however, is con-
fined to the working classes and to
the small tradesnen and shopk eepers.
The French authorities believe that
they have d long and bitter fight to
wage. but hope to bring Berlin to
terms and force the surrender OF the
maguates.
In Position to Feed Civilians.
Gen. Payot. who is operating sew
eral Of the important railway lines
for the French. says he is in a po-
sition to feed the civilian population
and will soon be able to transport
coal to France. Food trains are
already moving into districts where
the railway strike is still effective.
Speaking Of the shortage of empty
coal cars. Gen. Payot said
"The Ruhr district, even in normal
times, is the gulf into which 'empties'
must continuously be poured. When
the reparation coal deliveries were
effected according to schedule by the
Germans 10 per cent of the 'empties'
needed had to be supplied by France
and Belgium"

PLYMOUTH. England, February g.
An act Of gross folly. and the wrong
way to approach the reparations prob

The only crops in which there were
substantial decreases in value were
hops. sugar heets and potatoes. Prob
.bly due to prohibition and the shut
ing of of beer brewing the hop crop
slumped roupdly 20 per cent. Senator
Frederick IIale's constituents in
Maine. along with othe. potatorais-
ers, dug UP total crop of about 3S
per cent below their 1921 yield.
While the farmer has been getting
kteadily better prices for his produce
price Improvement has very little
more than KEEP; pace with rising
prices of manufactured products
These conditions, however. occurred il
Il year of heavy production. The eff
feet has been to bring materially
more money into the main sgricu'-
tural regions than last year
Perhaps the most notable improve
ment in any given region has taken
place In the south. Although cotton
was q light crop last season. never
theless the south stands to receive
from 100000, 900 to $500, 100000 more
actual cash than Il year ago. More
over, the south's income represents a
real influx OF money and not merely
trading between farmers or groups
within a territory. The average price
of cotton per pound on farms was
23.s cents on December /. 1922. as
compared with 1862 cents on Deem
her l, 1921.
south's Condition Improved.
This has brought the south into a
position of consid erable importance
In the country's business. Not only Is
IT providing a greatly improved mar
ket for manufa ctured products. but
there is little doubt that Increased
consumption by the cotton belt OF
pork products has played a very ma
terial part in the sustained price OF
hogs and corn. The south has been n
continual buyer OF northern farm
products.
The aggregate value Of the prirtci-
pal crops in 1922 is placed at about
$1,000. 900. 900. In 1921 the value OF
the same crops aggregated s5.631 ,000.-
900. 1t Is. OF course. true that farm
ers them selves absorb Il considerable
part Of the crops. and 1t is also true
that about one-third Of the crops are
fed to live stock, much of which will
be marketed in months or years yet

considerably more money in the pock-
cts of farmers than year ago.

NOME CITY COUNCIL MEETS
 IN REGULAR SESSION

The Nome City Common Council met in regular session Monday evening. May 2Sth. All members except Henry Burgh answered to the roll call. Minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. A petition. signed by Miss Saville, Miss Walthall and Dr. Curtis Welch was read asking that in the absence of all night telephone service it was highly essential that a fire alarm box be placed in the immediate vii cinity of the hospital and Mission. The matter was referred to the fire committee for action.
 J. J. keenan proposed to supply the City Fire House with steam heat for S35.0O per month during the months of June. July, August and September. The summer rate was. upon roll call accepted.
 Fire Chief Howald reported on the Fire House equipment and the general condition of the water mains and alarm boxes. A list of new and spare parts for the hydr- ants was read and the matter of purchasing needed supplies and stars for the policemen was referred to the Fire Committee with power to purchase same.
 Chief Howald expects to turn water into the mains next week and at that time subject the fire hose to a pressure test. The city owns lot of fire hose that may need be replaced for the reason that it has been unused for so long that it has probably deteriorated. Old hose hose will be discarded and new hose ordered to make up the number Of feet required to meet conditions.
 The question of moving alarm boy No. 42 from Lanes Way to the Hos pital was acted upon by ordering that the change be made ipmediate- ly and that one or more new boxes be ordered by the Fire Committee. to be sent for on the first boat. As soon as new equipment arrives new box will be installed on Lan's Way, to replace the one moved to the hospital.
 At this meeting it was decided that the City ordinance requiring property owners to clean up their premises. will be enforced. This year the City will not haul away the accumulation at it's own expense; property owners will be required to provide their own scavanger service. A penalty amounting to the cost of removal will be taxed against the
