who do fully 90 per cent of the shopping; this mes-
sage is courteously submitted as a thought on hour
each and every one can materially assist in the fur-•
ther development .and growth of Clinton. Com-
munity growth hinges absolutely upon business
development. There is only one "TJ" in Cominunity
—and it is in proportion to YOUR loyalty and pat-
ronage to home affairs, home industries; hone
stores that our town will grow. If you• do all of
your shopping in Clinton there wilt be• more jobs;
better pay and increased values all' along the line.
Your Home, your hopes of success for` self, bro-
ther, sweetheart or husband pivot about this point
of home -town loyalty. 'A river never rises higher
than its source and so it is in community affairs'
There can be no higher real estate values, wages or
biggeer opportunities than is' brought about
through the volume of business which is the fife of'
every community Your Dollars. spent at home
make this volume and if we divide these dollars we
weaken our own investments and hopes- of increased:
values of our holdings just as much. No doubt,
you will soon be making plans for an extensive:
spring buying campaign. Why notlook first in Clin-
ton stores, see the goods merchants will have on dis-
play, note the real values offered—whether it be
apparel or food; necessities or luxuries. You wilt
find prices just as •-low and quality just as high—'
more often higher—and home -town merchants' a.
great deal more obliging.'

Cow
(By James Bremmer, ]]astern Jersey
Fieldman, ,Frederickton, N.B.) •
Many, many years ago on a little
island off the coast of France in the
English Channel there gradually
evolved'• a certain type of dairy cow
that soon became famous for her
rich milk. "She was called Jersey af-
ter her native land:
The inhabitants of Jersey were not
slow to recognize that in this animal
of highquality they possessed some -

passes final inspection she is then'
eligible for registration. •
The bulls of the breed alio have
to pass a severe examination before
they are allowed to be registered.
St is easy therefore,'M understand
why Jersey cattle breed so uniformly

the Jersey breeders formed a society
and proceeded to record all cattle on
the Island.
Their next step in advance was
that they decided that before an ani-
mal could be registered, it mush first
be inspected. That is, an animal was
not to be registered if it fell below
a certain high standard. And here
begins the march of the Jersey cow
from Jersey Island to all parts of
the world.
