THE GOLDEN COW

A PLEDGE OF CONSTANCY.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

. LONDON, 30th October.Forty women who were assembled round the Golden Cow in the New Zealand Pavilion at Wembley a few days ago took a solemn vow. It was probably the most unique i incident that has occurred inside the Pavilion during the of the Exhibition. Some 160 members of a women's patriotic league were visitors to the Pavilion. They were split up into parties ot forty, and a member of the staff was assigned to each section to explain the exhibits. When Mr. M. J. Reardon, at the head of his section arrived at the case containing the excellent butter exhibits with life-size cow moulded in butter, he took the opportunity of addressing his following. Ho-pointed out to them that there were returned soldiers, in New Zealand working from the earliest hours of the morning to late at night to make a living out of their dairy cows. _' "And yet," he said, "there are people m; this country who will buy foreign butter when they can buy New Zealand butter equally as good and' at a lower price." "Ladies," said one of the visitors "let-us here and now pass . a resolution that never shall we buy foreign butter when it is possible to buy butter produced within the Empire." And there, in the presence of the Golden Cow, one and all registered a vow to be faithful to the dairy herds of the British Empire.
