Secretary Lansing Would
Give Meeting a Most
Informal Tone.
EXCHANGE OF IDEAS
If Agreement Is Reached
1t Must Be Ratified by
Two Countries.

NEW LONDON. Conn, Sept. s.
Members of the Mexican Joint
commission arrived here late today
from New York aboard the presiden-
ual yacht Mayflower prepared to
enter tomorrow on the conference
from which the Washington admin
istration hopes will come a mutual
understanding upon which future re-
lauons between the two governments
can be founled.
Luis Cabrera, Mexican minister of
finance and head of the commission
named by General Carranza, will pre-
side at the first meeting tomorrow
morning Secretary Lane, heading the
american commission, Will conduct
the following session and the two will
alternate as presiding officers there
after.
Informal In Tone.
The American commissioners arc
anxious to give the conference as in
formal n character as possible. Sec
retary Lane believes that more can
be accomplished through a free eX-
change of ideas among the six men
than could be hope for from a formal
presentation by each side of its de-
sires.
In accordance with General Car
ranzas preferences the question of
border military conditions Will be first
discussed. 1t seems likely that the
withdrawal of General Pershing's
troops from Mexico, the main object
which the Mexican commissioners
have been instructed to press. and the
terms of the protocol to cover future
campaigns against bandits will be
coupled together.
If an agreement is reached by the
mmissioners 1t must be ratified both
in Washington and Mexico City before
1t can become effective and ii is i'm
probable that the terms OF any such
agreement will be disclosed until 1t
has been approved.

A PLEASANT TRIP

Last Saturday evening w. v. Crit
fifth and John w. Baughman, with
Lloyd Davenport and E. D. Cooper
from the Office force, loaded them
selves into dependable Ford and
headed toward Elkhart where they
stayed over night and the following
day drove over a good portion of
Baca county, Colorado, taking dinner
on the extreme top rock of Two
Buttes, where the great government
reservoir for the Two Buttes Irriga-
tion District could be viewed over its
entire length.
Seldom is trip of this distance
made without participating in or OBJ
serving something of a serious ma
tire. In that instance it was sister
Ford about five miles east of Elkhart
where evidently from too fast driving
and an attempt to clear the track for
faster speeding car had come into
mesh with some freshly listed rows
and with one front wheel burrowing
deeper into the deep furrow the car
turned complete summersoult, lay
quietly resting on its side, the occu-
pants narrowly escaping death ana
not without some severe bruises.
On their way home the party Wis
tied the inland towns of Stonington,
Villas, Two Buttes and Konantz, all
prosperous little burgs in a prosper
GUS country with an exceptionally
promising future. Messrs. Griffith
and Baughman own tract of land
near Villas which they had purchased
without seeing and which they found
OIL examination to be a fine level
tract with excellent soil and exceed
ing in every particular their expecta-
tons.
Aside from the beautiful, level and
rapidly developing country and the
scenic Two Buttes. the party reports
the we'll built road through the sand
hills between Elkhart and the Gin
arron river to be the most interest
ing. This road is now a well kept
highway built part Of the way by
dragging the loose sand out about
twenty, feet on each side of the road,
leaving hard smooth surface, and
the remainder of the course by apply
ing gyp to the roadway some sixteen
feet in width. The Cimarron river
is spanned by low water bridge sim
liar to our bridges in this county ex-
cept that same is more substantially
built of concrete. This means to Elk
hart what similar road north of
Liberal would mean to Liberal and 1t
can be built. Mr.. Booster of of the
Booster Club, boost for a good road!

TREES COMPLETE THE HOME
Importance Of Proper shrubbery 10
Becoming More and More
Recognized.

The primary object Of settling the
state was to make homes, not to make
fortunes or increase the taxable
wealth of the county or state. One
can have shelter or abode without
trees, but no home which will appeal
to the wife, and to which the children
will look back with fond remem-
ORANGES in after years is truly q home
without the sense Of beauty, repose
and protection afforded by trees and
shrubbery.
The trees and shrubbery should be
located on the grounds to give certain
effects or make part Of living pic
ture. The fruit orchard can be plant
ed at regular intervals, in order to be
conveniently cultivated and to use
fully the ground occupied, but the
trees in the yard should not be spaced
like orchard trees; they should be
grouped, in order to make vistas,
screen unsightly outbuildings, afford
shade where needed, add touches of
color to the picture, provide pleas
ing SKY line" and to lend variety and
interest to the home surroundings.
Trees and shrubbery are the setting
of the jewel; the quality Of the jewel
is not dependent upon its size, but up
on the spirit, the purity, the harmony
which dwells within. Yet no jewel
is shown to best advantage without d
suitable setting, and no home is fully
a home without its setting Of trees and
shrubs.

Our international complications
seem to grow thicker every day. No,
sooner had we started on what
seemed to be the only proper course
in Mexico than the German subma-
rine issue hobs up in an aggravated
form, the New York branch of the
German embassy is raided and all
kinds Of plots and counter plots are
unearthed, and now the little slant
eyed Japanese are getting up on their
ears about something or other. If
President Wilson ever decides to
start anything with few foreign up
starts this religious journal will at
least wish him well.
