day, "that the kennel department Of any
club proves O great helptor several reasons.
First, because most all dog breeders are
gentlemen. and some Of the most famous
are in the South. In visiting poultry

crowd around the dogs. The visitors who
help the club financially can be seen here.
showing plainly where the most interest
is and which paws the best during exhibit
ton days. Manchester and Richmond can
show some very influential dog-lovers. all
of whom should take an active part IN The
club. The shows educate the people TO
realize that there is vast difference be-
tween cur and real. genuine thorough
bred dog. II you can only muster together
five henmen and five dogmen who are
willing to ,DOrk think. and lay down their
scheckles. you can have a club with O
national reputation az soon as the hrst
show is over"
