of Maine. and Prof. Santee of the Good
VIII Farm as the chief speakers of
the day. the all-day meeting of the
Waterville Dairy Improvement Asso-
citation held Wednesday at the Tecon-
net clubhouse, Winslow proved one of
the most profitable and interesting
monthly meetings of the association
that has been held for some time. The
morning was taken up with the regu-
lar business meeting and a report of
the official tester, Arthur NJ. Richard
son, who from sample OF the two
daily milkings from one cow is able
to estimate the monthly production of
the animal, its cost of maintenance,
and the value of its product. The
herds of the members of the associa-
ton all show up favorably, and are
on a paying basis.
Prof Corbett, who is professor of
animal industry at the University OF
Maine, gave very helpful talk on
Raising the Heifer Calf" beginning
with the breeding, and continuing with
the care of the dam, and the feeding
of the calf.
Prof. Santee spoke on the subject OF
Farm Sanitation" explaining how
sceptic tank could be used to replace
the cesspool, which is far from SAM
tary. His talk included an explana-
ton of just how to build the tank, and
how to lay the feed and drain pipes.
The January meeting was postponed
until February, owing to the fact that
the association accepted an invitation
to attend Farmers Day. which is to
be held Jan. Is at Oak Grove.

Dear Sir:
/ understand you are to appear be-
fore the proper committee or depart
ment of the Federal government with
reference to the importation of pota-
toes from foreign countries into this
country. / understand you are to
make opposition to the importation on
account of danger Of importing dis
ease, which will effect the growth of
our potatoes in the future in the Unit
ed States.
AS Governor of a large potato grow
ing state, l wish to add my voice to
your efforts in this matter. Aroostook
county in Maine probably produces
more than 10000, 900 bushels of potatoes
annually. 1t is one of the most pros
porous counties today of any county in
any state in the Union, and is the
county in Maine which accounts for
our increase in population from 1900 to
1910 and also counts largely for our
increase in wealth during the last Is
years, and this has probably been due
to the potato industry. 1t is the one
business which Aroostook county is
adapted to, and about the only one
outside of numbering. That is, it is
the principal agricultural industry.
They also raise oats and hay. but po-
tatoes are the principal crop.
If any disease should be permitted
to come into that county, the potato
industry in Aroostook county would be
practically ruined. The county is To-
Gated away by itself, over hundred
miles of woods intervening between it
and the other counties of the State,
and 1t is too far north to be suitable
for anything else except perhaps some

COURT ORDER
IS JAIL TERM
FOR GOMPERS

Washington, D. c., May 5.-Con-
tempt of court judgments upon Sam
uel Gompers, Frank Morrison and
John Mitchell, officials of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, we're sus-
tained today by the court of appeals
however. revised the sentences to give
Gompers 80 days imprisonment and
fine Mitchell and Morrison $500 each,
with no jail terms. -
The chief justice, dissenting, held
the entire judgment should be re-
versed. The lower court gave Comp
ers one year, Mitchell nine months and
Morrison six months without the op-
tion of a fine. All were convicted
violating a court injunction in the
noted Bucks stove and range case.
An appeal from the decision today
will be taken to the supreme court of
the United state, if the attorneys for
the labor leaders can find ground up
on which to ask the high court TO re-
view the Judgment. The case has been
a hard fought one and has attracted
wide attention.
Washington. D. c., May 5-The
supreme court today extended the
time in which the Union Pacific rail-
road must dispose of its 46 per cent
in Southern Pacific stock from May
II to July 1, thus refusing to give an
indefinite extension of time.
Constitutionality of the Indiana en-
ployers' liability law was upheld by
the supreme court in a suit of a yard
switchman named Hackett against
the Chicago, Indianapolis & Louisville
railway. Hackett will recover $50, 900
for the loss Of both legs through the
negligence of his immediate superior,
yard foreman.

woman, learn she was a widow. She

left her under this illusion for some
time while he questioned her as to
her relations with Williams, and about
her brief career as a wife. Suddenly
the police broke the news. The girl
tainted. When restored to conscious
ness tears came to her eyes.
The girl was accompanied by
her mother. Facing her was Williams,
but they did not speak to each other.
In the course of his Interrogation
Alcock asked Mrs. Lacount whether
she liked Williams or her husband
better, and she expressed a prefer

had thought of seeking annulment of
her marriage because of different re-

TARIFFDRAFT

Washington, D. c., May 4.-The end

stood ready to dispose of the free list

remained OF the new tariff law.
"All fights are about over now,"
said Democratic Leader Underwood as
he surveyed the situation.
The debate has been the most good
natured in the recollection of demo-
crat leaders. The republicans avoid
ed ffibustering or a demand for rec
ord votes. The caucus rule of the
solid democratic vote has been rigidly
carried out.
Only few minor changes are now
expected and they will all be to clar-
ify the language. Democratic leaders
expected today to clear the path for
consideration of the income tax alone
