The Colorado Farmers Congress,
which closed its tenth annual ses.
sion at the Colorado Agricultural

the scale for the payment Of sugar
beets passed by the Mountain
States Beet Growers Association,

The resolution referring to the
price of coal declares that farmers
are being charged in many districts
of Colorado, SIS per ton for coal at
the mine while the minimum
charge set by the fuel administra-
tors in 4.62 per ton.
The resolutions urged Colorado

The proposed scale for the pay
ment of sugar beets provides a
price OF $40 per ton or beets when
sugar sells at 81 wholesale at the
seaboard, and of an additional $1.50
per ton or each 81 per hundred in
crease on sugar above 81.

This is the slogan of the modern
women of Japan, Mrs. Kate Tanaka,
delegate to the International Labor
Conference, declared today in an in
terview.
The women of Nippon, she said,
are growing away from their old life.
The picture is changing.
Instead of a shy maiden standing
coyly against a background Of cherry
blossoms and chrysanthemums, we
now have an energetic woman Of af-
fairs who has abolished the tradition
al flowing sleeve of the kimona as a
first step in dress reforms, and is go-
ing out after other reforms.
Woman suffrage is some way off,
but we are keeping after it," said
Mrs. Tanaka, who wears European
gowns, talks perfect English and has
a studious look.
ALREADY we are making progress.
To Hok, the government university at
Sendal, has opened its gates to wo-
men, This year the Waseda Univer-
sity, at Tokyo, let down the barriers.
Home conditions are also changing
and must change some more 50 that
the women of Japan may be free.
Modern cooking appliances are be-
ing adopted everywhere, Japanese
girls are going to government cook
ing schools. Gas is being used in
stead Of coal, because it cooks faster.
Gwen the dress of the Japanese
woman is changing. Kimona sleeves,
which were long and often got in the
way, are now being cut at the elbow"

MEXICO CITY, Nov, G.-Commis-
sions representing the United States
and the Mexican governments will
meet soon in Monterey, Mexico, to
determine the exact international bor-
ders of the two countries, according
to newspapers here. The Rio Grande
river has always been accepted as the
boundary line, but OF late it has
shown an erratic disposition at many
places leaving it's old bed and wan
dering aimlessly north and south, and
it is deemed expedient to fix the
boundary by other means.
