PRINCIPALLY PIE.

(By

Jack Horner),

Won’t Buller gorge to.uight if they win the match this afternoon. Things arc just RiflLraff in Morocco. As soon as the Power Board has completed its part of the business of supplying Greyniouth 'with electricity, the Chairman (Mr I). Tennont) is go. iug to turn it on. What does the Borough Council ■want to gpeml .money in repairing the Town Hall roof for? It ain’t goin ’ to rain no mo’. America, is being allowed near beer. Across the border. Petrol—Twenty miles a gallon. Spirits—How many smiles a gallon? * « Tt wasn’t only the weather that "ot anterbury wet in that League match last Saturday. A tap on the head is a cure for water on the brain. Ihe captain of an overseas vessel islated in Aueklqud that, on an aver Uge. the skippers of boats trading- I,e" ; tween England and New Zealand, f crossed the line eight times a rear - Why. .Tack steel almost equalled that •ecoi-d hist Saturdav afternoon.

A number of men that Serg(“int Fryer caught on licensee premises last Sunday looked quite openmoufl ed. Modern ‘Moxies.—‘She ki-sed him. so he kissed her hack.

The gale in Christchurch last weekend blew down many fences, and palings were carried a considerable distance bv the force of the gale.—Tt is an ill wind that blows nobody any wood. •So far the only shocks the Power Board has given us are the size of its accounts. Clothes cover a multitude of skins. •x- * »- The West Coast Rugby Supporters’ Association said “T.ord save us.” and ho went and arranged those Wednesday games with Hokitika right away. J. O’B. is always on the J O B. T?

Shire Ts half so bold as a holy Fryer. It will soon bo time for Harry Lauder to bo commencing another farewell tour. The team that has the most trying time will win this afternoon. * * Our Reefton correspondent wrote

“Things are not too bright here.’ A local in Tuesday morning’s “Argus” said: “Tt is reported that Sergeant Fryer is to be transferred to Reefton.” << — an( ] the car turned the corner into the farmyard, killing two calves. A prize buff orpington hen, however, just managed to fly out of its way. The foregoing is a report of a motor ear accident which appeared in the Manawatu Daily Standard, and proves conclusively that the hen is flightier than the Ford. Most landlords are hard on tenants, but the Power Board is paying it' Tenn ent £lOO a year. Harrv Duggan is certainly not a drug in the Power Board. Manna won the English Derby, bur as ho was n hot favourite he did not food the Israelites. They sav Mr ATcTnfloo left Grey mouth on Thursday morning w''ai-'ng a -o’ —:.>r_of-Paris round his b-u-k.
