Officials have found that the ar

While the state department is try
ing to clear up some diplomatic prob
lens preparatory to the conference,
war and navy departments are COM
piing the latest information regard
ing the fighting forces of the world.
The cost of war and preparedness
is being tabulated for all nations by
the treasury. The effect Of arma-
ment limitation on commerce and la.
Dor is being studied by Secretary OF
Commerce Hoover and Secretary OF
Labor Davis. The drain of war on
the coal and oil reserves of the world
will be shown by the interior depart
ment, while the agricultural depart
ment has figures revealing the effect
of the last war on food production.
The greatest care is being eXer-
cised in picking advisors and experts
for the American delegation who are
thoroughly versed in every angle OF
all these problems,

President H. M. Clark of Fair:
Association Outlines His 4
Plans for Next Year
SUGGESTS LEASING r. f.:
SCHOOL FARM PLOT
Would Construct Permanent
Livestock Buildings ON
Additional Ground ! !.

Appreciation of the work done by
the management of the Beltram
County Fair association and their as
sistants, was expressed Wednesday at
the noon luncheon of the Civic ana
Commerce association by inviting
them to be guests of association at
luncheon. After the luncheon. rls-
ing vote of thanks was called 1or
bv President Barker and an enthusl-
astic response was given to the re-
quest, Prolonged applause greeted
those who had been responsible tot
putting over the enterprise.
H, M. CLARK, president Of the fair
association, was called upon to pre-
sent suggestions as to what he deem
ed wise to be done for the successful
continuation of the fair next year.
Mr.. Clark was given an ovation and
it was evident that he was deeply
moved by the reception give him.
He reviewed some of outstanding
features, particularly of the livestock
department., and showed that, al
though. the exhibits in that depart
ment were very large, they might
have been larger had there been ac-
commodation for the stock. Thirty
head of cattle were turned away be-
cause of lack of housing and the same
was true of the racing horses, accord
ing to DR.. Denison.
An outline of the buildings desired
to adequately take care of the future
exhibits was made by Mr.. Clark,
which he suggested to be Incorporate
ed in building program to be car
ried out in the next five years. He
suggested acquiring, either by lease
or purchase, the school farm plot
directly north Of the fair grounds,
and the construction of a set of per-
manent livestock building on that
tract of ground with broad drive
way from Bemidiji avenue around
the east end of the grounds in front
Of the livestock buildings for use by
autos and also for livestock exhibit
ing purposes. This would leave the
race track undisturbed for other at
fractions and get all the livestock
away from the other features of the
exhibition.
Mr.. Clark's proposition was given
the endorsement of those in attcn-
dance.
F. r. Duxbury, on behalf Of C. w.
Jewett, who was unable to be present
at the luncheon. expressed the apprc-
citation of the attractions committee
for the cooperation given them in
their department.

fore the opening of the national

Similar conventions are being ar
ranged in other states interested in
bringing thg Atlantic ocean 1000
miles closer to the Northwest.
; Deepening of the st. Lawrence
channel to permit ocean-going vessels
to come into the lake ports of the
Northwest will cut transportation
costs on export grain almost in half,
the state tidewater commission be-
lieves. The commission estimates that
from Lake Erie to Atlantic ports,
the lowest rail rate is ~ cents a
bushel on grain, and that it costs
cents bushel more to load that grain
into ships.
The Minnesota commission esti.
mates that the oneninp of the Great
Lakes-St. Lawrence route to ocean
traffic would reduce this grain trans
portation cost 10 cent sa bushel.

Hughes has had two big difficult

/. The desire of Great Britain,
prompted by the dominion premlers'
to hold preliminary conference on

cause Of Secretary Hughes insist

formal invitation to the conference,
Japan noted reservations to the pro-
