J. F. PIPER RECEIVES
PATENT PAPERS
inVents a Staff for Leading Cattle
Which Has Many Superior
Points.
70 MAKE AND MARKET THEM

John F. Piper, route 3, three miles
.outh of the city on the Jefferson
Dad, has been granted a patent on a
taft for leading bulls.
Mr. Piper's appliance has advantages
over the stats now in use by eliminat-
ing the loose link at the end of the
staff and nose grip, enabling the
person leading the animal to retain
positive control by keeping the ami
malls mind on the person leading him.
The ring can be loosened allowing
the animals head sufficient room to
move without inflicting punishment,
should he attempt to become unruly, a
slight twist of the hand takes up the
slack and instantly puts the leader in
command of the situation.
Mr. Piper says that it is his in
tention to manufacture and market
the staff, and he feels there will be
a lively demand for it.
