In the officers of the English Institute of Journalists, New Zealand journalists who have visited Great Britain have found true friends. The New Zealand Institute of Journalists is affiliated with the present-body, and while so many pressmen are leaving New Zealand with the Expeditionary Forces, it is interesting to note an extract from a letter recently received by the general secretary ■ from the overseas secretary of. .the English Institute. "Perhaps the most directly .personal, thing effected by the affiliation," he writes, "is that every member of the New Zealand Institute, who (for military service or any other reason leaves the Dominion, becomes ipso facto a . member of this Institute, from the moment of his leaving until his return. . . . It is a present point of interest and illustration that every member of the New Zealand Institute who is with the Expeditionary Forces is, by the fact of his leaving the Dominion, a member of our body. He has only to, put himself in touch with us to take identical status with the rest of us for all' that we can make it worth." Several wounded New Zealand journalists, including Sergeant P. H. G. Bennett, D.C.M. (of the Wanganui Her-' aid), have recently enjoyed- the _ hospitality of the Institute. "If the employers are anxious for industrial turmoil, then the best way (they can bring it about is on the question of preference," said Mr. M. J. Eeardon at the Arbitration Court yesterday during the hearing of the timber trade workers' dispute, in which the union's proposed preference clause was opposed by the employers. Two byla'w cases were in the Magistrate's Court, before Mr. D. G. A. Cooper, -S.JVL, after The Post went to press yesterday. In the case of Arthur Osborne, who was charged 'with using a hose without having a meter installed,, the information was dismissed. H. Croucher denied refusing to pay a tram fare, and was given the benefit of the doubt. It is always interesting to watch the progress of - companies that have been formed to assist and protect the Farmer and Producer in the. marketing of their produce. The Bristol and Dominions Producers' Association, Ltd., of Bristol and New Zealand, is just such a farmers' concern, and, although only in its second financial year, the association's directors announce in the Home journals their recommendation to shareholders to pay a dividend for 1915 of 6 per cent. Considering the times and conditions under which exporters lrave been ■ labouring, the above announcement s'peaks for management and methods far above the' average.—Advt. Kirkcaldie and Stains, Ltd., require the services of machinists to operate tiyelve now power machines now being installed for the manufacture .of blouses, skirts, underclothing, shirts, and pyjamas. Experienced operators paid either by piece work or at a weekly wage at their option. Juniors instructed in the use of power machines. —Advt. Two boots in demand: Military tan at 28s 6d, box calf welted 22s 69; fine value. Geo. Fowlds, Ltd., Mannersstreet.—Advt. What's in a name? Much! If it is the New Zealand Express Co., Ltd., it is synonymous with complete help in passing entries. The company does everything. Office : 87-91, Customhousequay, —Advt. 1,400,000 dollars per annum, says Henry Fortune in the Export American, is the amount received for mushrooms grown in one district under Paris. There are about 1200 workmen employed in the mushroom caves, which are from 20 to 160 feet below the surface. There the luxuries are cultivated on a very largo'_ scale. The galleries containing the beds in ono case alone are said to be no less than fivo miles in length.. This industry commenced in a very email way. So did silk, cotton, arid wool spinning and weaving, which have developed to millions of pounds worth per annum. A very fine selection of wool, cotton, and silk materials^ and garments is now on view at C. Smith's, - Ltd., the famous Wellington drapers.— KAdst.
