Representatives of the boards of trade
and business associations of Rutland and
Addison counties have formed an organ
ization for the purpose of securing the es
Enlistment of a state agricultural school
The last legislature authorized an appro-
priation of 10000 for such a school and
$4,000 yearly to support it. A series of
meetings will be held in the two counties
to interest the public in the proposed
school The Henry c. Copeland farm of
800 acres in Middetown has been offered
as a site and Middletown Springs has
offered to give $1,000 to help defray the
expenses of school if it is located there
The widely known Watson farm in Bran
don is also under consideration as a site.
There is no question about the establish
ment and success of the school if the men
of the two counties work together harmo-
niously.

Governor Fletcher is capricious =

to put in practice new political

The Stratton Mountain Tower.

The news dispatches printed in the state
papers carry the impression that the tower
on Stratton mountain, which was dedicat-
ed a few days ago, IS on or near the place
where Daniel Webster made a great cam
paign address in 1910 As matter of
fact the places are miles apart, though in
the same town. The tower Is on top of
Stratton mountain one of the finest peaks
of the Green Mountain range. while the
scene of Webster's address was on gen
tie rise of ground near CIRCUITS pond and
alongside the road from Arlington over
the mountain pass through Sunderland and
Stratton to Wardsboro and Jamaica. To
the present generation this old road
through Stratton seems a strange place
for political rally For 20 miles there is
barely regularly occupied habitation
The farms, which were probably cultivated
there - years ago, have grown up to for

President Wilson late Saturday after
noon nominated Herbert q. Comings. of
Richford to he collector Of customs at Bur
lington. This appointment indicates that
the so-called Burke faction headed by the
fighting mayor of Burlington will not con
troll the distribution Of patronage in the
state, as Mr.. Burke was holding his hat in
expectancy to catch the succulent plum
which Mr. Comings has secured. The Sc

VERMONT PosTMAsTERs.

Nominations of postmasters by the
President have been coming in very rapid
" of late for many states, but Vermont
distanced them all the other day with 10.
1t was a formidable Democratic list, in
Guiding Emory s. Harris of Bennington,
Hubbell Of Northfield Prentice c. Dodge
of Randolph, c. w. Locke of Springfield
John w Woods of Wallngford, George
f. Randall of Wells River, Anna L. Allen
of West Pawlet, Rodger Dwyer of West

Line. 1t should be remembered that in
all the time since Dec. l, 1913, Vermont
had had but II postmasters' nominations
sent to the Senate up to the time this list
Of 10 arrived
As has been said many times at the post
office department in recent months. Post
caster-General Burleson has had more
trouble selecting. postmasters for Vermont
! than for all the other New England states
combined. The two factions here have
/ been vigorously at each Others Threats
tand it was very difficult to ascertain what
really ought to be done. 1t is understood
that more than once Senator Carroll s
Page, Republican, has been asked by the
department to tell what he knew about
qualifications of candidates for Vermont
Ipostmasters.
The appointments are apparently beinl
made regardless Of either the Burke Of
Browne factions.

The QUICK action of simple buck
thorn bark, glyeerine, etc, as mixed
in Adler-i-ka, the remedy which be-
came famous by curing appendicitis, is
surprising Brattleboro people. Many
have found that this simple remedy
drains so much foul matter from the
system that A SINGLE DOSE relieves
constipation, sour stomach and gas on
the stomach almost IMMEDIATELY.

TO WOMEN WHO ovERDo.

Thousands of American women in
our homes are daily sacrificing their
lives to duty. In order to keep lhe
home neat and attractive, the children
well dressed and tidy, women overdo.
Soon weakness or displacement is
brought on and they suffer in silence,
drifting along from bad TO worse. For
80 years Lydia +. Pinkham S Negeta-
BILE Compound has proved a boon and
a blessing to women in this condition,
by restoring their systems to a normal
healthy condition. Why don t you try
it!
