A certain Winton lady who takes a great pride in her exhibits for the butter classes at agricultural shows worked all the early hours of the morning one day last week (relates the Mataura Ensign) preparing a foxglove fancy butter design for the Gore display. The butter was: placed in a box, carefully labelled, and the owner personally supervised its transportation. At the Invercargill station she watched its transfer to the Gore train, and advised the porters on duty regarding the contents of the box and the necessity for care in handling the delicate* production. No sooner had she uttered the words than the porter grabbed .the box, turned it upside down, and dumped it in the guard’s van. Needless to say many hours of hard labour had then gone for naught, and looks were more eloquent than military language.
