 TRAIL AMERICA.
CONFERENCE CONFIDENTIAL
The State Department Character. ized the Conference as
 Informal.

Nashington.-The United States has decided to ask the cooperation of South and Central America in the next step to restore peace to Mexico. The ambassadors from Argentina, Brazil and Chile and the ministers from Be- liyia, Uruguay and Guatemala have been asked to confer with Secretary Lansing

Those taking part will be the ambassadors from Brazil, Argentina and Chile, and the three ranking ministers of the Latin-American republics, Bolivia, Urli- quay and Guatemala. The conference will be entirely confidential"
 While the State Department charac- terized the conference as informal. sentiment has been growing among American officials that the next step in the Mexican situation should be one which would meet the approval of the world and should be taken in concert with the nations of Central and South America
 Some of the closest observers of the Mexican situation last March profess ed to see the presidents plan for Pan American cooperation when he de livered an address on the Argentine ho o,J
 "I feel that I am speaking the sen- timents of my fellow countrymen when l say that there is a growing warmth of affection as well as understanding for the other countries of the great American hemisphere which we are coming to understand better and which are. I hope. daily coming to un derstand us better. and to which We are drawn by feeling as well as in terest-by the desire to be comrades in some common understanding foi humanity as well as neighbors I want to express my feeling as president of the United States that we are rapidly approaching a day when the Americas will draw together as they never have drawn together before. and that it will be union not of political ties. but of understanding and of mutual help fitness"
 It is believed the president was thinking of Pan-Americsn joint ac- tion with regard to Mexico, even to joint military operations. if neces- sary
 At this stage. however. it is not be- lieyed that military operations are being contemplated as a next step.

 Penitentiary officials will not confer with the Linn-Auburn levee district board relative to the levee controyer- sy existing between the two bodies until the penitentiary commission gets an expert engineers survey of the State convict farm at Cummins and plans sustaining its contentious that a levee built near the Arkansas River will be sufficient to protect the dis rict from any future overtiows of the stream. That announcement was made by Capt John T. Burkett of the peni- tentiary commission. As yet the com mission has retained no engineer.
 "W. L. Moose, attorney general. told us that to present our conten tions to the levee board that it would be necessary to have an engineers sur Vey of the district and an engineer s plan sustaining our view" said Cap tain Burkett.
 Plans of the levee board are to erect a levee that would throw 5000 acres LII lHe pest 1dlu Ol the cOHNlcl IdI Ill between it and the river. The land's value would be sacrificed under this plan. The penitentiary commission holds that a levee erected nearer the river would afford the same protec- tion.
 Bids for the levee proposed by the levee board are due to be let probably at Dumas. The penitentiary commis- sion has threatened to file an injunc- tion suit to prevent continuance of the plans of the levee board unless a settlement is reached.

! Adolph Lafond, Jr., one of the
representative stockmen and farm
ers Of this locality residing about
six miles southwest Of Malta, is
erecting a large barn on his farm.
Nothing so significant about build
ing a barn, but when the dimensions
are considered and it is learned
that the barn will be used principal
/ ly and chiefly for the storing Of alfal-
ia, the building is a forcible
demonstration of the transformation
going on in the county and puts Mr..
Lafond in the lead as being the first
to put up a large building solely for
this purpose. The storehouse, 40x
/ SO feet, IA feet high with a hip roof
is so large and attractive that MT.
Lafond has been asked if it is not
the court house for the new county
seat. The many tons of succulent
hay it will shelter will serve to pre-
pare dainty morsels for the eastern
market, for over fifty hogs are being
wintered on the Lafond premises.
This progressive farmer had quite
