COSTER.
VARIATION-Costar.
RACIAL ORIGIN-Dutch.
SOURCE-An occupation.

This is one of those family names
on which YOU might do a great deal
of thinking, and then go wrong.
It's deceptive because the spelling
today does not indicate the language
in which it was developed, which is
Dutch. But substitute an initial *"
for the 90" and it does not look
quite so English.
Like such a very heavy proportion
of Dutch family names, it was
originally descriptive of the bearers
occupation, and in this case it was
one of those occupations which
might readily be passed down from
father to son in some quiet and ira
dition bound little village. and so by
imperceptible stages change from
mere description to d real, hereditary
family name. a...,

ton" 1t also had at one period the
meaning of "a ShreWd fellow" but
this was, of course. a secondary
meaning, and the evidence is that the
family name was derived from the
actual occupation rather than from
this secondary meaning.

broken surface, with no cracks or
crevices in which dirt and germs may
lodge. Nevertheless. to get the ut

rules.
AS soon as you install new linoleum

warm water and pure soap--harsh

Of the linoleum. 1t is a good plan to
wash and dry about a square yard at
q. time Next, wax the linoleum, be-
fore it is tracked up. with a liquid

Swiss Cheese to

holes will be the slogan of Green
county Swiss cheese makers this sea-
son. Hundreds of factories in this
vicinity are preparing for the COM
ing seasons run and planning to
manufacture a higher quality product
rather than concentrate on quantity
production.
The process of fermentation that
gives Swiss cheese it's rare flavor and
texture causes the vacant spaces.
Without holes, Swiss cheese is known
as blind" or "eyeless" product and
is Stunned by the connoisseur as a
tasteless, lifeless morsel.
Increasing competition of imported
Swiss cheese is given as the reason
for increasing the quality of the do
nestle product. Manufacture of Swiss
in this vicinity has just started as
factories make brick and limburger
cheese during the winter.
