The petition recently signed by the
Woodstock business men to continue the
express service over the Woodstock rail
way brought forth request from the
American Railway express that the
Woodstock railway continue the service
at the present figure. The request came
through T. H. Harrison, general counsel
and former law associate of Walter d.
Hines, director general of railroads. Mr..
Harrison intimated that with the com
ing return of the railroads by the gov
eminent and the placing of the express
business on paying basis, general re
adjustment of express pay would be
made and the Woodstock railway would
come in for consideration. The Wood
stock railway deemed it eXpedient to
comply with Mr.. Harrison's request. In
commenting on the situation, Mr.. Bill
ings said that railroad costs had almost
doubled in the last five years, but the
increase in the Woodstock compensation
for express service had only been II per
cent.

ress at Worcester, Mass, has an excep-
tionally good exhibit of Jersey cattle, the
breed being well represented by Quechee

and Mr.. Potter's herd; among these four
the money was pretty well divided; then
in addition, there were some smaller en-
tries which received their portion. The
one entry to create real interest and
attract much attention was the yearling
son of Golden Oxford's Brownie, present
state champion butter producer of Yer
mont, bred, owned and record made at
Quechee Fells; she has 964 pounds of So
per cent butter to her credit for one
year, and he is survived by G. F. Girls

in his class and junior champion without
question, but when the time came for
the judge to place the grand champion,
it was different matter entirely; a
Junior yearlng against an aged bull, but
quality and individuality won over age
and size, and the honors went to the
Quechee Fells yearling Numerous other
prizes first, second and third, also came
to Vermont, one especially worthy of
note was first on get of sire, won by
Quechee Fells The Quechee FEELS Jer-
seys win be at White River Junction
