"Xew Zealand know? that Queensland has a Bolshevik Government, a horrible climate, and plenty of snakes." said Mr. j Collings on Thursday evening at the Soot's Hall when referring to the ignorance shown by people here of the real state of affairs in the Commonwealth State. "la Queensland they think you never sleep soundly over here for fear of being swallowed up at night with earthquakes," he added. He had experienced one of those earthquakes while talking at Hawera recently. As for the climate, well, he had spoken just as vigorously to Queensland audiences as he was speaking to his audience in the Scots Hall, but it was a long time since he last got a sweat on in twenty minutes on a public platform with the temperature below eighty degrees. He ventured to say that 120 degrees in Queensland was much more tolerable than eighty in Auckland. BUSSEYS r A
