TAFT INSISTS ON
Vote ON TREATY
President Gives Straight Tip
= to Senator's.
SAYS PEOPLE FAVOR IT

Unless Action Is Taken in the Upper
Branch of Congress by March an
Extra Session viii Be Called to As
semble Soon After That Date-crane
and Carter Working to Garry Out
Programme.
Washington, Feb. eff administra-
tion senators had any doubt about the
attitude of President Taft toward the
Canadian reciprocity agreement it was
removed when Senators Crane and
Carter returned to the Capitol from
conference with the president at the
White House. The message which
these senators brought to their col
leagues was that there must be vote
on the agreement at the present ses-
sion, or congress will be called back
in extra session almost Immediately
after adjournment on March a.
Although Messrs. Crane and Carter
declined to discuss their mission to
the White House the report soon
leaked out that the president was in
sistent upon a vote. 1t is said he
made plain his belief that the country
generally favored the adoption of a
reciprocity agreement with Canada;
that the Mccall bill to put the agree
ment into force will pass the house
with large majority and that the SEN
ate would enact the measure if given
an opportunity to vote upon it.
Senate Rules May Aid Defeat
The rules of the senate, which per-
NIT untrammeled discussion of a
measure, are principal barriers to a
vote in that body. 1t is known that
Senators Hepburn and Bailey are bit
terly opposed to the agreement and
that the opposition extends also to
most of the progressive Republicans
who represent agricultural states.
Some of these senators have limited
that their relations with the White
House have not been sufficiently pleas
ant of late to cause them to exert
themselves in support of an admins
tration measure.
Senators Crane and Carter entered
at once upon a campaign designed
to advance the presidents pro-
gramme.
Already they have conferred with
other senators who are especially
| friendly to the administration and
| have sought to enlist their services in
a movement to obyiate the necessity
of an extra session.
Reciprocity Stands First.
The impression has prevailed at the
Capitol that President Taft would in.
sist upon votes on both the Canadian
| agreement and the bill to create a
permanent tariff board, but this par.
| TALLY was removed According to the
general report at the Capitol the pres.
| ident placed the Canadian agreement
| above the tariff board measure and
| would be satisfied If the former were
enacted at this session.
In the event the permanent tariff
board should fail it is believed that
an appropriation would be voted in
| the closing days of the session to con
tinue the existing board for another
I, year. Ii an extra session should be
| called by reason of the failure of the
| senate to grant vote on the Canadian
| agreement it is understood that the
creation of permanent tariff boart
and might go SO far as to promise data
on the wool and woolen schedule Of
the tariff act II the Democratic house
desired it.

crop moving period well loaned up
throughout the West and South, the
situation in the East is such that
money stringency is well night i'm
possible. At the same time funds
are sufficiently well employed to make
it certain that firmer rates will appear
when the crop demand becomes insist
ent. Already at the larger centers in
the West rates have firmed up some
and it would not be surprising if a
much healthier and higher money
rate is experienced by the first of
September.
West Will Need Eastern Crop Funds.
Nevertheless advices throughout
the West indicate rather clearly that a
considerable amount of assistance
will be required to move the crops
and care for the needs of the agricul-
tural communities this fall. Already
the early crops are beginning to move
to market, particularly grain from the
Southwest; and while the cotton crop
is no earlier than usual the prelimi.
nary demand indicates rather clearly
an earlier shipment of currency than
in ordinary years.
This is being reflected at the pres
ent time in the balances at the various
centers, more especially in Chicago
indicating that local banks all through
the West and South are drawing
upon their correspondents to meet
their requirements in the shipments
Of grain.
Bank exchanges at the various
clearing houses during the last yea,
have reflected the slowing up in bust
ness, but just now we are entering s
period where they can be compared
with corresponding weeks after thu
slowing process began and hence i
would not be surprising if in the nea
future bank cearings began to re

AT this season of the year. when
crops are maturing and the harvest

the use of large volume of money

Laundering the Tub Frock.

The days for tub frocks are almost
here, and with their advent the yearly
problem OF laundering without fading
comes up 10 tho mind of tho practical
woman, who must think, not only of her
own frocks, but those for her children.
or course the majority Of high priced
ginghams will wash we'll and retain
their color under ordinary circum.
stances, but, on the other hand, the
average washwoman hangs the delicate
tinted fabrics IN the sun to dry, and this
will generally work havoc In the color
ing.
Colored goods should be dried In the
shade, aud preferably on q windy day,
since tho wind has even greater drying
powers than the sun.
However, IL the colors are likely to
run, no matter how careful one may be
in the washing, there are several differ.
ent ways by which they may be fixed,
the best known Of these methods being
the use Of salt, vinegar, or alum 10 the
rinsing water.
Some shades OF blue are very perish
able, and In these sugar Of lead IL used
to flx the color, 1t being employed only
once, and then during the frst washing
in the proportion Of an ounce to buck
etful Of water.
Salt, however, 10 best for oil colors,
especially tho light ones, although vino
gar is moro satisfactory In fixing the
dark colors.
Alum, which should be used for green
garments, should be melted In boiling
water before adding It 10 tho rinsing
water, while In tho case Of ginghams
with q combination OF different colors
It 10 safest to use both salt and vinegar.
