Addison Withheld, who has been in the
postollice at Vernon 80 years, has resign
ed bis Office with the intention of per-
lnanently retiring from business. Whit
he'd was appointed postmaster Feb. 30,
1850, after fifteen years service as clerk
for his father, who held the Office for
twenty-three years in its present location
previous to the sons appointment. The
Vernon Office was established in 1920,
when the old time landlord and merchant
to which callings the son succeeded, was
commissioned. The whole amount of
postage received for the first quarter of
1921 was S2.lG4. For many years the
Office was supplied once a week by a
stage from Brattleboro to Worcester,
the service finally being changed from
weekly to daily stage trips until the
coming of the railroad in 1913. Addison
Withheld has been a well known resident
OF Vernon all these years, and represent
ed his town in the legislature in 1872 and
1871. He has also been selectman and
lister all the time continuing his mer-
camille and postoflice work.

When WI Ting Fang, the famous Chin
ese Minister to Washington, irritable and
somewhat forgetful from q severe cold,
missed one day from the front of his cap the
immense diamond he always wears there,
he was dreadfully frightened. A friend
pointed out that the statesman had mad
vertently donned his turban wrong side
before, and that the diamond was safe in
the rear. Had WI Ting Fang been wear
ing Benson's Porous Plaster on his chest
or back to cure his cold, he never would
have doubted its location He would have
felt it doing its work, warming and max
ing flexible the torpid muscles, extracting
the pain and soreness, promoting the free
circulation of the blood. stimulating the
skin and lungs to proper action, and so
dissolcing and banishing the malady. Thus

Annual Session Vermont Dairy school.
The eleventh annual session of the
Vermont Dairy School will open at Bur-
lingtOn on Jan. IL, and will last four
weeks. The school will be conducted on
the same lines as hitherto, teaching the
science and art Of butter making in all
its branches by lecture, text book, labor
atory, and by actual work with separ-
ators, churn and butter workers. The
cost of the months schooling in modern
dairy, including board, need not exceed
so. Nearly five hundred Vermont boys
have attended during the past ten years,
and all speak well of the value of the
course. Young men or young women
who desire to learn modern methods of
dairying are invited to correspond with
the officers of the school, The class is
already nearly made up, but there are
still some vacant places. The names of
two ladies are already enrolled, and more
will be welcomed. For particulars ad-

DIR. webb Controls Rutland Railroad
The development of the Rutland rail-

tens of the country, which has been IN
progress ever since President L. W.
Clement assumed control of the road. is
to continue on an even larger scale than
heretofore. DR.. w. Seward Webb, VINO
has for some time had an active hand in
the management of the road, now controls
nearly GO per cent of the stock and con-
templates many substantial improve
ments.
The change that perhaps most concerns
the travelling public will be the immediate
placing on sale of 1000 mile tickets, good
over the entire system at the rate OF two
cents per mile, the present price of mile
age tickets being two and one'quarter
cents per mile. The mileage ticket now
in use contains 500 miles and this form
will probably be abolished. The present
train service gives little opportunity for
Improvement.
DIR. Webb cOntemplates very many I'M
provements, involving an expenditure of
nearly 81, 100000. Later there will be a
change of organization of the company,
hat at present there will be no changes
whatever in the personnel except by ad.
