DRASTIC CURTAILMEnT
Going on in Production of Cotton
Fabrics--Half of Southern
Mills Closed Down.

Boston, March 30.Fifty per cent
OF the spindles in the southern cot.
ton mills are idle. according to statis-
tics assembled by the American Wool
and Cotton reporter. The figures
show that curtailment is now in
progress not only in the south, but in
all sections of the country, more ex
tensive and drastic than has ever
been known. The greatest curtail
ment is among the yarn mills, al
though the restriction of production
among the weaving mills is greater
than ever before.
Mil after mill is closing down un
til new cotton arrives, or market con
ditions improve. while with the ma
iority the case OF curtailment varies
from twenty up, with many mills run
ming on orders only.

PROCL AMATION
BY PRESIDENT.

commercially, were signed today,
which together with those which viii
be signed tomorrow will complete the
extension of this country's minimum
rates to the whole world. About one
hundred and thirty nations and de-
pendencies are included in the list.
The work involved in DISCRIMINATING
whether any of the nations included
in the long list are discriminating in
their tariffs against the products of
the United States has occupied the
attention of the tariff officers of the
government since the passage of the
tariff act last August. The tariff
schedules of each nation had been
critically examined by tariff experts
and where doubt existed, the services
OF diplomatic and consular officers Of
the United States have been re,
Questioned.
A semi-oificial statement is made
that from fifty to sixty per cent OF
the products of the United States will
be admitted to foreign countries free
of duty, and that of American pro.
ducts which pay duty, in foreign
countries. eighty-nine per cent will be
entitled to the minimum foreign
rates.
Following the proclamation Of d
complete tariff agreement with Can
ada today, it was announced that
President Taft has invited the domin
ion officers to a conference, LOOKING
to closer trade relations between the
two countries and to a general re-
adjustment of duties.
the presidents invitation is in.
cluded in an exchange of notes be-
tween Secretary of State Knox and
the dominion government. The note
expresses the belief from the Ameri
/ can point of view that the time is
ripe for conference looking to the
betterment of the trade relations be.
tween the two countries. In discus,
sing the matter president Taft would
not say that the proposed conference
is forerunner of reciprocity. What
he hopes is that the conference may
result in complete readiustment OF
tariff rates between the two countries,
without either abandoning its ma
/ tional or economic policy.
Canada conceded thirteen numbers
to the United States to gain minimum
rates. the thirteenth being the omni
bus clause which includes a host OF
articles, among witch Is cotton seed
oil, one of the heaviest exports.
As to wood pulp and print paper
some criticism has been levelled al
the president 1t was officially stated
, at the White House today that these
items did not and could not enter
into the negotiations. The rates and
terms of duty on wood and wood pulr
are fixed in the tariff laws and car
! net be made the subject of negotia
tions or discretionary action on the
part Of the president.

straight-falling drape-ies of liberty

on square block base, the futed
finish outlined in green. 1t holds a
large green wax candle, at the side OF

there is always a point hard to de-
fine at which professional aid should
promptly be summoned.
So long as an owner is certain of
the difficulty and has knowledge and
experience as to treatment or rene

sources. But in cases of obscurity, un-
certainty or complications the owner
of a good COW disregards his own In

fail to summon veterinarian, us
much as if he neglected to secure
proper medical service for a sick
child And the veterinarian should be
selected with the same care one exer-
