“We have sufficient wool to-day to last for three years,” remarked a local settler on Tuesday morning, “and it is still growing.” “There are also,” he said, “hundreds of head of cattle of which the owners would gladly dispose at a sacrifice, but can’t find buyers. And yet we are told to increase our production.” he added, ’’why we want to work half-time—if that —to give the settlers a chance.” —Opotiki Herald. The paper shortage has necessitated a drastic reduction this year in the size of the New Zealand Official Year Book, a copy of which is just to hand. This fact is referred to in the preface by the Editor. Mr Malcolm Fraser (Government Statistician) with obvious disappointment, for it was hoped this year to return' to pre-war standards. It has not been possible to include any new features, and everything that is not of current importance has been elimated. The reduction in size, and in the quantity of mater ial has been so cleverly contrived however, that as an informative medium on affairs of the Dominion the volume seems to lose very little of its value, if any.

I gather that from the statements that have been made by some of the leading members of the extreme Labour Party. The I.W.W. policy is a policy of continual irritating strikes, of trouble among the workers in every direction when there is lie, need for trouble, in order to wi-arv the employers until they are ->> disgusted that they give up their businesses, ships, and everything rise ; then the workers will run them for themselves. That is what I understand by a. Labour extremist.” For Bronchial Coughs, lake Woods (treat Peppermint Cure,
