A case'of reaggregation of land in the Cust district was laid before the Prime Minister on Saturday night, and he professed to.be. somewhat surprised at. it. " So far as this country is concerned.'' he said, "there is very little reaggregation. and in the case of Crown lands we have made it impossible by fixing a limit. But if this sort of thing is going on, and good lands are being reaggregatcd, the law will have to bo made more stringent. I am not going to have one man buying up six farmers, and closing down the school'and the creamery. It has got to be stopped, and I would advice this man to take the hint and do a little in Ihe direction of subdivision." Misinterpreted.—"Beg pardon, sir." said tho doorman at the Stag-horu Club: "haven't you made a mistake?"'" "I reckon not," repbed Pi -Cornta'ssel. "The sisn on the door soys 'No Admission.' and if thev's no admission it's, free, ain't it?"
