Ma Aufacturers is urging the appoint
nlent of William H. Bagley of Wester-
~ az commercial agent of the depart
ment of commerce and labor of the
United States government, and in the
upbuilding of trade between the Unit
ed states and South American coun-
tries. DIR. c. III. ]. Woodbury., secre-
tary Of the Cotton Manufacturers as
ISOLATION. has arrived in Washington
to confer with Secretary Nagel in re-
gard to the Appointment of Mr.. Bagley
to succeed W. A. Graham Clark, who
recently resigned to become textile ex
pert on the tariff board. DR.. Wood
bury declares that Mr.. Ba.gfey is pecu-
larry fitted for the appointment by
reason of his wide experience in the
South American republics, where he
was educated, and because of his ex-
eellent command of the varied Span
ish dialects spoken in South Amert-
can centers, as well as the pure Castil-
ian Spanish. Mr.. Bagley's candidacy
for the place Is not at his own in
stance, but at the earnest request OF
textile men acquainted with his I'M
usual fitness for the place.

citation of Cotton Manufacturers to-

There seems to be persistent effort
on the part Of certain turkey dealers
to rob Horace voss of the credit of
furnishing the turkey for the Thanks
giving presidential dinner, which is
annoying to the Turkey King, espe-
eiaiSy as Ia has the autograph letter of
every president from Grant to TAFT
- documentary evidence in substan-
tlaeion OF his claim. The object OF
those dealers Is to gain prestige for
SAGlr stock, by claiming them to be
the best IN the land, the kind that is
served at the presidents feast a,
Thanksgiving. As a matter of fact,
THESE birds are presented by Mr.. Vose,
reared under his supervision, and
president By him personally.
