he Tribune from Denver. COL, says.
A monster petition to be circulated
among the women of America, and
then submitted to President-elect
Taft, is the immediate plan of the
National American Woman's Sufras-

Announcement OF this fact was
made yesterday by the Rev. Anna
Howard, president Of the associa-
ton.
A special appeal was made to the
Colorado women to assist in the
movement by securing the signatures
Of every woman n the State.
"AIr. Taft mas often said he was
willing the women OF Anlrica shouh
have the right of franchise if they
desired it, the president said.

CONDITIONS IMPROVING.
President Finley of the Southern says
Business Is Impriyiag.

President Finley Of the Southern
Railway company, who has Just re-
turned to Washington from an In
spection trip over the lines Of the
system, fond evidences OF improve
ment n business conditions and Of a
general disposition on the part Of
business men throughout the South,
to take a hopeful view OF the fu-
ture Speaking Of the information
be had gathered on his trip, Mr.. Fin
ley said:
prices for pig iron are frmer.
Southern furnaces, as rule, have
sold their product up to the end OF
the year, and the increasing number
Of inquiries for iron warrant the ex-
pectation that orders will soon be
placed for business during the COM.
ing year.
Lumber Is more active than for
some months past. Especially Is thts
true of the grades shipped In box
cars. The present demand will be-
augmented by increased requirements
from railways, principally for car re-
-airs. as some Of the railways are
contracting with car companies for
;ome Of their heavier repair work.
"One Of the most encouraging.
igns of reviving industrial activity
the increasing movement OF steam
.oal to industrial centers. The un-
isually warm weather of the present
all is retarding the movement Of do
nestle COAL,
The cotton crop Is early, and the
ibre is moving to market in larger

Though, as result Of the stagna-
ion which has prevailed in the cot
On goods market. prices are lower
nan e year ago. The demand fer
.otton seed products Is good and they
re moving freely.
"The domestic market for cotton
goods shows indications OF gradual
Improvement. Owing to the accumu-
ations of large stocks and to other
,auses affecting that market, there
at present little demand for cotton
;oods in northern China. Aside from
his, the export demand Is fairly
:ood, and those mills interested In
be north Of China trade are looking
forward hopefully to a renewal Of
ales for that market.
Grain traffic into the South-es-
:ecially cocn-is light. This Is due
n part, to the relatively high price
# corn and the low price OF cotton.
nd in part to the fact that at this
eason of the year the South Is coz
sumi1g its own grain.
Merchandise stocks which had

TARE ON COTTON
THE WEIGHT OF BAGGING AND
TIES.
Some Suggestions About this Mat
ter That Cotton Makers Should
Think About and Act On.

Think About and Act On.
There Is almost as wide variation
in the weight of bagging and ties
used as covering for the cotton
crop as there is in the different names
and numbers used by cotton firms
md exchanges to designate the va
rious grades Of cotton, says the
Cotton Journal. With regard to bas-
,ing and ties there is an allowance
Of per cent of, or 80 pounds to the
bales for tare by the foreign trade
In Savannah there is an allowance
If yards Of two and quarter
pound bagging. The New England
5pinners have agreed 10 an allow
ance Of % pounds Of bagging AMI
les to the bale, while interior buy
ers insist on only yards of baggin:5
nd ties. The majority Of farm
.rs buy light bagging. so that the
verage weight of the bagging and
es on a bale Of cotton delivered by
.rners to buyers amounts to about
u pounds.
in this wide complication of dis-
terences in the weight of baggina
and ties the farmers as usual gel
he worst end Of the bargain. Near
ly 65 per cent of the crop goe:
abroad, and in the price paid for ex.
port cotton the farmers have tt
stand a loss Of 80 pounds to the bale
for bagglng and ties, So that II the!
put on q pounds they lose pound:
II Int IN addition to bagging anc
les they pay for AID put on th'
bale.
Spinners do not pay for baggia:
md ties. The buyers do not pa
he farmers anything for baggin:
md ties. No farmer has ever soil
pound Of bagging anG ties to any
nody. The bagging and ties on
,ale Of cotton is net loss to tb
AN who had the bale ginned.

AT the present time there are ap.
proximately 100000 miles Of earth
roads in the United States. Some oi
the most important OF these roads will
eventually be improved with stone
gravel, and other materials. Many
others which are equally important
cannot be so improved on account OF
lack of funds or suitable materials,
while still others will not require
such treatment because of the light
traffic to which they are subject. For
these reasons the majority of our
roads must be maintained as earth
roads for many years to come. This
must be done by inexpensive methods
and the split-log drag will be power
ful aid if economy is the criterion de-
manded.
In the construction of this imple-
ment, care should be taken to make
it 50 light that one man can lift it with
ease, light drag responding more
readily to various methods of hitching
than heavy one, as we'll as to the
shifting Of the position of the opera
tor. The best material for a split
log drag is dry red cedar log, though
red elm and walnut are excellent, and
box elder, soft maple, or even willow
are superior to oak, hickory, or ash.
The log should be between to 10
feet long and from 10 to u inches in
diameter at the butt end. 1t should
be split carefully as near the center
as possible, and the heaviest and best
slab chosen for the front. In the
front slab 4 inches from the end which
is to drag in the middle of the road
