Fl NATIONS join
TO OUTLAW WAR
Conference at Havana Goes on
Record as Opposed to All
Aggressions Between
American Nations.

Havana - The attention Of the
world seeking ways to avoid war and
the burdens Of excessive ornaments
is to be centered on the United
States once more, when the 81 re-
publics of the western hemisphere
meet there to draft a formal conven-
ton for the outlawing of war in the
New World.
There is one concrete triumph for
international friendship and co-opera-
ton which stands out among the re-
suits of the Pan-American confer
ence drawing to it's close here. By
virtue of it's double-barreled resolu-
ton, declaring the republics OF the
New World in favor Of compulsory
arbitration, and authorizing the inter-
national conference in Washington to
give their intentions the form and
force of written international law,
the conference has taken long step
toward the goal for which the Old
World has been striving without
much progress. By virtue of that
resolution, the step taken by the Pan
Am can conference will reach its
&C summation within a year.

COOLIDGE OBJECTS
TO new FARM BILL
President Approves Plan to Find
New Uses for U. S. AgricuI-
turaI Products.

Washington - President Coolidge
feels that the farm relief bill approx.
ed by the senate agriculture commit
tee does not clear up his objections
to the similar McNary-Haugen bill
which he vetoed last spring.
With reference to farm relief,
President Coolidge is said to feel
there is considerable merit in the
suggestion of w. C. Lusk, president of
the South Dakota Chamber of Com
merce, that the use of farm products
should be encouraged as a means of
absorbing crop SURPRISES.
He understands, however, that the
federal department of agriculture as
we'll as several of the state depart
ments are making Investigations
along this line continually and are
attempting to find new uses for
American farm commodities.
