Has Cow Releasing Device.

Becoming tired of releasing one COW
at time Caleb A. Buffum of Rutland
figured out way OF releasing with four
movements IA cows. The post at the
right of each cows position projects
above the beam to which the posts are
above the beam to which the posts are
attached about eight inches. In the
center of the row of stanchions there is
a heavy wooden lever fastened above
the beam, which, when released, falls
back of one OF the projecting posts. As
all the projecting posts are attached to
a board that slides, with the exception
of the one at the end of the row, which
is removable, the moving of lever
against the center post pushes aside all
the posts to the right of the cattle, re-
leasing their heads SO that they are free
to leave the barn.
Upon going into the stable Mr.. Buff
UNI removes board about two feet long
at the end of the beam. He then goes to
the center of the line, let's down the
lever and pushes it to the right and the
trick of releasing IA cows is accom-
plished.
Running the length of the barn are
places for % cows and the row is divided
in the center. There is lever for each
group and the lever is placed half way
between each group of IA cows. 1t re-
quires not more than two or three min
utes to release both sets of cattle.
Mr.. Buffum worked this out some rs

Name of J. G. Ullery Now Mentioned
as Solution of Middle.

! % SOAuIluh Vi nAuudiSs
The two principal candidates for the
! job Of postmaster Of Brattleboro, aside
from personal work in Washington in
promotion of their interests, keep pc
titions of one kind or another in circu-
lation in and about Brattleboro, says
the Brattleboro Reformer.
Major Fred W. Childs, is still in Wash
ington, where he has been most of the
time for several weeks. NJ J. Moran re-
turned last evening from the capital
of the nation, where he has been on
several pilgrimages. Mr.. Moran declined
to say anything for publication regard
ing the local situation, but he appeared
pleased over recent appointments to YER
mont positions, which had been in accord
with the expressed desires of the Demo-
cratic state committee.
A petition is in circulation by friends
of Mr.. Moran. which is being
signed, it is claimed only by men
who are known to staunch Dem
ocrats The petition is request
that the recommendation of the Demo-
cratic state committee be followed in
relation TO the appointment of postmas-
ter at Brattleboro."
John j. Clune has just completed the
circulation of petition among the resi-
dents of Guilford and the West River
valley asking that the appointment OF
Major +. w. Childs as postmaster at
Brattleboro be confirmed. The signers
of this are Democrats or patrons of the
Brattleboro postofiice."
Rollin $. Childs is circulating petit
ton addressed TO President WoodrowWif-
son asking him to see that the matter
of postmaster appointment for Brat
tleboro be taken from the committee on
post roads and postoflice and presented
to the Senate for prompt action. This
petition has been generally circulated
Attorney +. w. Gibson is in Washing
ton in the interests of Major Child's
candidacy for the postmastership, and
there are others who are there or who
have been there in the interests Of one
or the other of the two men.
There appears to be a growing i'm
preston that the time is rapidly APP
preaching when the question OF the post
master for the next four years in Brat
tleboro win be settled
The name Of J. G.. Ullcry is being
in some quarters as a posi- |
bic solution Of the controversy. Mr.. |
Ullery would accept an appointment a.
postmaster az Brattleboro. but just how /
much significance there Is in the men

1t is really surprising that in such a

improvement in the appearance OF so
many Barre and East Barre ladies, but
it is not surprising when the cause OF
this improvement is known. And there
is no great mystery about it after all.

Cross Pharmacy, or Frank Roark's, or
S. G. Voodry & Co.'S, Cabot, and you are
likely to see one of the clerks wrapping
up box of the little tablets that do so
much to improve the appearance Of ones
complexion. Bright eyes, a ruddy glow,
and a complexion free from pimples, sal
lowness and moth spots, may be had by
every womn who will take one or two
of SEAVER'S LAXATIVE TONIC TAB
LETS at bedtime. These tablets contain
dandelion and other purely vegetable ex-
tracts that are known to have a selective
atcion for skin affections, and being both
a laxative and tonic they quicken the
