LATE NEWS. i KEEP THE STANDARD UNFURLED, MY PEOPLE! CHAMPION IS GRATEFUL FOR THE VALUED SUPPORT FROM HIS LOYAL PEOPLE SINCE HE APPEARED ON THE SCENE SOME 20 YEARS AGO. IT WOULD BE A WASTE OF TIME TO ENUMERATE HIS GIUANTIC ACCOMPLISHMENTS DURINU THAT PERIOD. AS THEY ARK LEGION, AND REMAIN INDELIBLE LN THE MINDS OF HIS PEOPLE. HE IS BY NO MEANS EGOTISTICAL, BUT CANNOT REFRAIN FBOM MENTIONING A FEW OUTSTANDING HEROIC DEEDS DURING THIS CLOSING YEAR, AS THEY WILL ALSO BE HANDED DOWN TO POSTERITY. NO. I—He has kept the standard and supply of his renowned Champion Muscle Raiser Flour up-to-date, and It is universally admitted it is worthy of its name (vide "Hansard"). The Right Hon. Massey stated: "It was a splendid flour," and even the Hon. Wilford in joyous mood said: "It had Virtue in it, as well as muscle,", which brought forth deafening applause of a lasting character. NO. 2 —When the Government wanted assistance to make the flotation of its £16,000,000 loan a success, Champion shouldered the responsibility, and was the only "one-publicly thanked by the Right Hon.' Joseph Ward, Colonial Treasurer. Champion is ready for the £10,000,000 one to be placed on the market in March.. NO. 3—When the V.M.C.A. and Red Cross appeals for urgent funds were on the market, he wrote such soul-thrilling appeals that the committees stood aghast, and the required amounts rolled in like a spring tide.NO. 4—When "Baby Week" appeared his "Standard" Gruel Meal, Oatiueal, and Boiled Oats transformed it into "Baby Strong," which was publicly demonstrated by the thousands of sturdy youngsters and parents flocking to the Commercial Travellers' Ked Cross Fair for another supply of his muscle raising and longevity products. NO. s—"Champion"s —"Champion" Is closely allied with the Commercial Travellers' Club, and when this combination makes up its mind to do a thing for a cause lacking assistance, nothing will stop it (not even barbed wire and Huns), which is amply verliied by the huge success of the 10th inst. campaign, bringing relief to our boys in trenches, and joy to many a home. NO. 6—"Champion" is of a versatile character, and has composed a comic opera named "The Flight of the Swallows with an Extinct Bird." Set to the music of the

well-known song, "The End of a Perfect Day," aud dedicated It to the Right lion. \i\ F.Massey, and wisely reserving the copyrights, and when It Is staged and actors, etc., chosen, will prove highly instructive, amusing, and perhaps remunerative, and It is the wish of the composer, after deducting expenses and making due allowance for brain fag, that the' net proceeds will be devoted for special medals, the material and design to be approved of by his people. Again thanking my people and remaining always at their service, ■WITH COMPLIMENTS OF SEASON, I am, i V-, Auckland. In hoc signo vlnces (In this slfin, or under this standard, thou shalt conquer.)
