INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS

German reparations and complica-
tions resulting from the failure TO pay
them occupied much of the attention
of European diplomats. Early in JAN
uary the allied premiers held futile
conference in Paris, and France pre-
pared for separate action to collect
from Germany. About the same time
Secretary Hughes announced the Unit
ed States would not consider Berlin's
proposal for a four-power European
peace pact and also informally ad-
eised France not to occupy the Ruhr-
France, however, was determined, and
the reparations commission gave her
the opening by declaring Germany in
willful default in coal deliveries. Ger
many formally protesting and Great
Britain not approving. the French on
January IL began the occupation of
the Ruhr. seizing its most Important
cities one after another. President
Harding expressed his disapproyal by
recalling the American troops from
Germany. Chancellor Cuno, with the
support OF the reichstag, declared a
moral war" OF passive resistance and
ordered all state employees not 10 obey
the French. The mine owners and
later the industrial magnafes fell IN
with this program and for months the
French were baked 10 their Efforts

rushed the ships mascot, dog

THE FARM OUTLOOK FOR
VARIOUS CROPS IN 1924

The labor situation prohibits
much expansion in production.
2, The corn crop is likely to re-
suit in an over-production this year.
3. The wheat situation is be-
coming more favorable with re-
duced acreage.
a. Hogs are moving fast at low
prices. Breeding is likely to decline
heavily.
5. The interest in chickens is
still going strong with a record
production.
6. Tobacco growers are plan
ming for about the same acreage
as last year. Cigarette tobaccos are
in demand and acreage expansion
is likely in those types.
7. The south is planning Tor a
considerable increase in peanuts.
The peanut stocks on hand and IN
creased imports should torewarn
growers.
8. There are prospects for the
largest sweet potato crop on rec
ord. The largest expansion OF pea
nuts and potatoes IS in the boil
weevil area.

the negroes rifed his cash register,
and stayed in the ice box an extra
FIVE minutes to make certain that the
robbers had departed Then he found
that he had only a half dollar left, and
this wouldn't work the prepay tele-

This road is to be rebuilt from
