Notes and comments.

When the Police praise the Devil's Own what happens? Why, comparisons are in order. Take "the case of Sergeant Cruickshanks. He has just told the people of Dannevirke that he was leaving them in the hands of ''» most honest and straightforward .set of lawyers." So far, good enough. Lkit Robert added: "And you should be thankful for this!" Dannevirke has coaeed to have buttons sewn on its trouse-r pockets.

Pooh old Palmerston! What a i'unk it is in. 'A Minister of the Crown lias come on a visit to Feilding, and it is terribly afraid that Mr Millar might be hypnotised. Consequently, a correspondent in this morning's Times hits the eye -of. the distinguished visitor with some dreadful anti-Feilding items. The writer— anonymous, of course—concludes: "Also when they arrive at an elevation overlooking the Oroua Valley, they might poiat out how the whole geographical position centralises in Palmerston North, as Palmerston is visible from many of these prominent elevations; also when they visit Sandon, Rongotea, and Glen Oroua I hope they will tell the Minister that Palmorst'on North is in the centre of this prosperous district." Now, -who gave these places to Pa'lmerstoii to rule over them? It will bo claiming Feilding as its suburb presently. Poor old narrow-spirited Palmerston !
