A certain member of the New Zealand Parliament had, it is said, been taunting enlislcrs With the fact that they hud voluntarily taken on the position cf .slave;;. "Well," he said to one stalwart worker who had enlisted. "So you too, have become a slave!" The .worker retorted, "I had to choose between being a slave for my own country or being our

Great volumes cf what, appeared to bo smoke or steam, seemed to be ascending from the face of the cliffs at the beach. Investigators found that the-rapid thaw of heavy snow was causing water to cascade over the cliffs at places were the wind rushes 80 feet up a clean face, with the result that great sheets of water were being constantly hurled hundreds of feet into the air, and falling back in spray. The process was continued till nightfall, when the wale]- got the mastery over the wind and gravitated to the beach below. Ju.st arrived a range of plain crepa cloths in all colourings; good washing material; £'W per yard at Walker's, Boundary Street.—Advt, The amenities of business morality were brought under review in the Napier Supremo Court rather pointedly during the examination of the accused in the Mattel case (says the Hawke'-s Bay Herald). The fact of the accused selling his apples to the company at 10s 6d per case, while the listed quotations for the' same variety were 8s and 9s per case, brought forth some caustic comment by the Chief Justice. Mr Dolan, in endeavouring to show that his Honor was labouring under a misapprehension, suggested that the printed list in circulation outside was not a true guide, as the higher prices were often obtained inside. For instance, a tailor in Napier might offer on his list

a suit of clothes at £2 10s, but would in the shop charge £4 or £5 for the same article. His. Honor considered such a practice did not s.-iy much for the .business morality of Napier. Visitors should not fail to view tha display of the latest self-filling Waterman's Ideal Fr-untain-pens, in A. E. Kilgour's window, which is most up to date. —Advt. At the Supreme Court at Chrdtchurch on Monday Mr Maurice Gresson, v*io appeared in a case befoVe Mr Justice Denniston, %va& garbed in khaki, being in fact "Corpoi'al Gresson." This is the first time on record-that a barrister has appeared before his Honor at the Christchurch Supreme Court in,such. aarb. Mr Gresson formally applied for leave to appear without his wig and gown, as the King's Regulations prevented him from, doffing the uniform. "Cicero," said les Honor, "is responsible for the maxim: 'Cedant arroa togae' (Let arms yield to the sown;. I am now asked to reverse this process.

Russell stated in Dunedin that a Pioard of Appeal will be established consisting of three persons, who will be appointed shortly; the majority, two, will decide any point in au appeal of owners against censorship of

thier films. The regulations provide for the following fees: First, for examination and censor fee of 5s for the first thousand feet or portion thereof; second, 2s 6d lor every 500 feet after the first thousand; third, the same fee to be charged for re-examination of censored films after excision by owners or censor's instructions; fourth, on appeal there will be a fee of ]os per thousand feet, with a minimum charge of 30s for each film. The Act provides that all films must be submitted for censoring after October, but in order to avoid hardship and confusion, films on circuit at that time will not be called up unless complaint is made against them.

The Lyttelton Times pa3's a tribute where thoroughly deserved: The art union promoted by Mr P. A. McHardy to finance an "Anzac Club" at Palmerston North for returned soldiers has proved an unqualified .success. About £15,000 was realised from the sale of tickets and this will establish the club and maintain it for all time. We do not know how' much money Mr McHardy has contributed towards this undertaking, but the sum must be very large. Not content with most generously providing handsome prizes, this sturdy patriot has been personally the life and soul of the movement throughout. He traversed the streets of Wellington time after time distributing half sovereigns haphazard to holders of tickets, with the natural result of a boom in sales. He advertised the scheme with imagination and liberality in every possible way and generally devoted time, money and labor to the cause.- Wo do not altogether care to single out individual.--, for praise, but it should be acknowledged that the war has revealed - particularly in the Wellington province —several citizens whose sense of patriotism has been expressed in very handsome contributions in cash, and of these Mr Mcila-rdy is conspicuous. Tt was he whe, said th."l every man can do .something to help win the war—"be nan fight, work, or nay"—snd Mr McHardy, being unable to rlo the first, has made up for it in the two oilier d-'rections. Of course, the bit* art union scheme \y.,3,s not carried through without the' co-operation of an army of willing helpers. The moving spirit,'how-

ever, v;Mjiir* Mr McHardy, whose conduct m this war.has been one of the brightest illustrations of genuine patriotism that could be wished for. The war is.dreadful enough, in all conscience, but it is not altogether without; compensations when it reveals tho existence. of sterling and g'ciMroiis citizenship of iwhielx the whol? people of the Dominion must be proud.

The all-round advance in prices wan reflected' tit the Grey School Committee meeting last night J when the Chairman (Mr J. Tennent) pointed out that a twomonths' supply of stationery for the schools amounted to £l7 odd, whereas similar quantities had in the past been obtained at a cost of between £8 and £9.

At yesterday's meeting of the Westland County Council, the Chairman moved that the Council place 'on record its deep regret at the death of Michael Phillips, Clerk to the Grey County Council, and that the condolence and sympathy of the Council be extended to Mrs Phillips and family, '('his was seconded by Mr Dujf, supported by all the members, and carried in silence.

The three South Westlajid cheese factories have obtained record prices for the coming season's output.

At yesterday's meeting of the Westland Hospital and Charitable Aid Board, the Chairman stated that, in consequence of information received, he had paid a visit to Otira, and, from what he had eeen there, he had dismissed the medical officer. He had prepared a repoit on the matter, which he laid before members. The Chairman's action* was approved. A letter was received from the .Minister of Public Works in regard to the Otira Cottage Hospital, and questioning whether the engineer in charge of the tunnel works eoidd accept a medical certificate from the matron of that institution, but that he had written to the Engineer on the matter. It was resolved that, in the event of an unfavorable reply being received from the Minister, the Chairman should meet liiin on his forthcoming visi, to Greymooth to discuss .the position. The Otira I'omnniVfi wrote enclosing accounts for £.33 5s Cl.' and stating that the la to Matron, Mrs Campbell, was seriously ill ; also asking that Dr Childs should be instructed to visit Otira at. least once a week.
