A y The Golf Bug! (Written more in sorrow than in anger) Once again that malignant disease called 'Golf' is stalking rampant through the land. Sane and level-headed citizens are succumbing daily to its insidious spell, and even brilliant thinkers are turning positively senile under its Machiavellian lure. Locker Room Baritones and Nineteenth Hole Ycidellers are busy practising their cacophonic monstrosities in anticipation of the first Hole-in-One. To cap all, the Big Chief falls a victim to the dread epidemic. Rushing out with three cronies, he muttered “Important Trade Conference ~. won't be back to-day ..." Conference, eh? Sez you! Then (so help us), Inkson, the Scratchetary, turns up Saturday morning in streamline plus fours. What a man! As for Sandy the Storeman, who hails from Inverness—well, we no speeka c da Gaelic. Thus, this concatenation of events would seem to indicate that the Golf Bug is here in one fell swoop. So if we appear a little jaundiced and cynical, it is only because Saturday's game was the worst ever. Drat this wretched golf! To ' Hades with the Tiger Country, and down with some Tiger's Milk to restore our equilibrium. World Bumd and Botdii with loving » M»W ZEALAND ■RIWIRiH ITP„ Ttown.

Creature Comfort Transport of Animals. Cheap, careful carriage of all livestock, whether, in large consignments or small, is one of the many valuable services provided by the Railways for the man on the land. It pays him to send animals by rail . . . directly, in low freight charges and in safe, rapid transport; -indirectly, in the use that he, as a taxpayer, makes of the Railways, the State’s largest industrial enterprise.
