be. longest remembered by the old-tm-

1907. In many ways 1t was his last eff
fort before the Maine Legislature. In
1909 and 1911 he appeared before com
mittees, but these were nero Incidents,
NOW forgotten.
1t was in connection with Portland's
strenuous effort to bring about the
chsnee in the capital of Maine from
Augusta to Portland. 1t was one of
the biggest contests the Maine Legis-
lature has known in many years. Port
land was moving heaven and earth to
secure the change, while Augusta was
doing the same thing to prevent it. Mr.
Goodwin took Augustus side in the
contest.
At the last hearing given by the COM
fuittee in charge of the matter he ap-
pcared and it was then that he made
his speech, which has ever since been
known as: Forrest Goodwin's Vittles
Speech.
IT'S xittles, vittles, vittles,' was the
keynote of the speech. He took the po-
sition that PortIands whole argument
was that her legislators couldn't get

HAVE YOU SOMETHING
TO SELL! - - -. -

If so, do you tell the public
about it? If you do, how do
you do it?
And what sort of reputation
is back of the merchandise you
are offering?
The answers to these ques-
tons may spell success or fail
ure to many a merchant.
From an intimate association
with a wide circle of concerns,
merchandising all the neces-
saries of life, we venture to say;
THE quickest and surest way
to reach the public is through
the columns of a dependable
daily newspaper like The Times
Recorder-one that has a high
standing in the community it
serves, and has the confidence
or us readers.
The most dependable articles
sold today are those to which
the manufacturer is not afraid
to attach his label-that is to
say, his reputation.
Retail merchants are now
joining hands with the manu-
facturer, and the public is thus
doubly guaranteed against in
feriority.
The combination of manu-
facturer and retailer plus good,
clean newspaper advertising,
means success to them both,
with the maximum of satisfac
ton to the purchaser"

Bad Condition in Crisp

Cordele June 11.-As a result of the
continuous cloudy weather and the
heavy rains that have fallen within the
past week considerable anxiety is felt
in Crisp county over the cotton crop
which has been badly stunted in
growth, diseases and insects that de-
stroy it becoming more common.
Progress in the farming industry has
been practically a: a standstill for the
past few days and the disagreeablc
rest from their labors caused the farm
ers by the rains has placed them in I
very restless mood. Thousands OF
bushels of oats cut ready for thresh-
ing that have been kept wet in the field
are threatened with ruin. One of the
largest farmers of the county has
about six thousand bushels of tn $
grain ready for threshing which he
states will be total loss if the rain
continues.
Though the other crops have been
badly damaged, the corn crop is said t.
be the best in years, in fact, according
to well-posted farmers prospects now
are that the yield will be the largest in
the history of Crisp county. Howeve'
they are fearful that the army worm,
which wrought such severe damage III
this section last year to the corn crop,
will again appear this summer.

CHARLTON MUST
ANSWER MURDER
CHARGE ABROAD
LOSES BEFORE HIGHER COURT
Rich American Must Return
to Italy for Trial


Washington, D. c., June 11.-Porter
Charlton must return to Italy to answ-
er to the charge of wing murdered
his wife in June, 1909, at Lake Como
The supreme court so decided today.
After discussing the insanity plea, the
justice took up the QUESTION as 10
whether, under the treaty of 1868, an
American citizen could be extradite1
( to Italy for a crime committed there
since Italy will not extradite it's sub
jects for crime here.
The refusal to surrender citizens for
eXtradition, the justice said, was of
modern origin. Some of the American
treaties provided, he added, that cit
liens shall not be extradited while the
others are silent.
THE conclusion is" said Justice
Lurton, that this government making
exception in some treaties, would not
extradite its citizens shows that it was
fully aware that here was no exception
in favor of citizens in other treaties
where the exception was not made, as
the treaty with Italy"
He pointed out that it was conceded
that crimes committed in Italy were
not justifable in the United States, so
if extradition were not granted, the
criminals would go unpublished
Crimes committed in the United
States, he added, were justifable n
Italy. According to international law,
he held that the treaty by reason Of
Italy's course, had not become void,
but merely voidable, at the option Of
the American government. The exec
utive department having waived its
right to annul the treaty, the justice
concluded for the court to do but to en-
| force it's decision.
Charlton has been a prisoner in the
Hudson county Jail nearly three years
The supreme courts decision today
atfirms the action of former Secretary
Knox, who determined to turn Charlton
over to Italy. Charlton's father, who
conducted a gallant fight for his son,
was a former United States judge for
Porto Rico and a classmate of former
President Taft

Tall Trimmings on Millinery

According to the Dry Goods Econo-
mist, tall trimmings continue the
rage and in some of the imported
models this idea Is carried almost to
the point Of absurdity. Among the
most effective models now being
shown in which the tall trimming idea
is employed is a black Milan sailor
with the brim gently rolled at the left
side. A tiny fringe of black goura
outlines the brim and from the edge
of the brim at the left shoots upward
a tall black goura aigrette bent at
the top in loop form. The tall trim
ming idea is also strongly emphasized
in this market. Question marks of
feathers, ribbons, cords, etc, long
pointed sleeves, fat spear-like orna-
ments of velvet and of various fancy
silks, aigrettes Of small flowers close
ly packed together, and long spike
like jet ornaments are all utilized in
this fashion.

SPREAD MANURE
DURING WINTER
Belief Is Expressed Best Time to
Scatter Fertilizer Is Soon
as Possible.

We believe that there is but one
best time to scatter manure, and that
is as soon as possible. We do not save
up the manure from spring to fall
nor from fall to spring for any pet
theory. Manure Is very valuable
product, yet the less time and labor
spent in handling it the more proht
there is and the more it is handled
between the stable and the field the
less real fertility 1t will eventually
contain.
Last fall we CHANGED upon GER
tain farmer who was hauling out his
summers collection of manure. and
was carefully piling it all over the
field in piles, says writer in an ex-
change We went over to find out his
reason for doing it. instead OF scat
tering directly. He said he always
thought manure did the most good
when scattered directly before spring
breaking, and he wanted it piled up
during the winter so 1t would not be

and save loading again. Then he had
read of how manure lost so much of
it's value in heating or burning out
that, although he used to pile IT In
bigger heaps. he now made smaller
piles.
Really the man had caught faint
inklings of the advanced methods and
made just this one step forward
Probably the smaller heap will not
fire as badly as the larger heap, yet
how much and labor he could have

directly instead of piling 1t up in the
field. Experience has proven to us
that freezing is the finest thing IN
the business to put the manure III

LIME TO IMPROVE
TEXTURE OF SOIL
Destroys Adhesiveness of CIays,
Making Them Mellow and
Easy to Work.

(By B. H. HITE, West Virginia Expert
ment Station)
Nothing in agricultural science or
practice may be mentioned with more
assurance than the beneficial effect
Of lime on easily puddled stiff clay
soils. This is SO nearl va matter of
common knowledge that the wonder
is that anyone will worry along with
such soils year after year. and even
from one generation to another, while
the possible increase in yield in a
single year will often pay for the ne
cessary lime
The trouble with such soils is due
to the extreme fineness of the arti-
cles. All soils are very much finer
than most of the people would readily
believe, and clay soils are the finest
of all. Soils consisting largely of clay
particles are likely to be too COM
pact. Normal movement of air and
water, and easy generation of roots
are Impossible. These very fine par
ticles, when wet, tend to stick to-
gether; il worked wet they form a
plastic mass which on drying shrinks
and becomes very hard.
If handful of such soil be worked
into plastic mass. 1t will become
very hard when dry; but If the test
be repeated with clays to which a
small quaIrity of caustic lime has
been added, the mass when dry will
crumble easily between the fingers.
Lime destroys the adhesiveness of
clays. making them more open, mel
low and easy to work. Air, water and
plant roots can get through them
much more easily. They suffer less
from extremes of wet and dry wealth.
er. They respond more generously
to cultivation and manuring For the
purpose in question, two or three tons
of burnt lime per acre should be ap-
piled. The very marked Improvement
so easily accomplished is noticeable
for many years; 1t is indeed one OF
the most enduring effects of lime.

In the matter of parasitism the last
two years compare badly even with
their predecessors, and what it may
be hoped was the high-water mark of
tapeworm invasion was reached and
should now recede.
The loss of sheep in many sections
has been serious. In many fiocks the
losses have amounted to 80 and 40
per cent.
The plague of tapeworm is SO
widespread that reports from all over
the world serve only to confirm our
own bitter experience.
The losses would not have been SO
great If the true nature of the malady
had been earlier, or we may say oft
ener, recognized in its early stages by
the fiockmasters.
1t is not to be expected that the
average shepherd will recognize the
first symptoms of tapeworm infesta-
ton, but he, as we'll as his master,
will be put upon his guard and may
be directed how to look for them.
Many have been deceived by the re-
markedly early period at which lambs
have been attacked mature worms
having been found in lambs at eight
to ten weeks old.
1t is so common an experience to
find lambs and other young stock
