On Saturday next the Druids will hold another of their popular dances when tho same liberal patronage is expected. A man named J. Waldeon, was engaged in'scrub-cutting on the Balfour Estate, Pahiatua, when the blade slipped and severely gashed his foot, the arteries being severed (states a Press telegram). >Hc was removed to the Public Hospital. y So much was the first dance organ-* ised by the committee of the Home and Schools Association appreciated by those who attended that many requests have been received for another. In all probability tho committee will arrange another function in the near future, certainly before tho winter season is over.

In the Supreme Court at Dunedin Charles Bertram Colby, of Los Angeles, United States, applied for an injunction restraining the Dunedin fee Cream Manufacturing Company from infringing patent rights. It had been claicd that a confection made by the company, wore similar to Eskimo pies for which plaintiff held the patent rights in New Zealand. The case is proceeding.

Mr J. Douglas Perrett, the Auckland artist, who has been visiting Levin, finds it necessary to leave for home on Wednesday, owing to illness in the family. The sale of pictures done by himself and various other artists is timed for fwo o’clock to-morrow afternoon, at Carmichael’s Rooms, and most of the offerings wilt'be without reserve. The opportunity of obtaining some original works at moderate figures is one that should be appreciated by the local public, for the collection is certainly a choice one and visitors to the rooms have been charmed with it.

The Court of Appeal has found for the Crown in the suic in which Dr. F, J, Eayner, of Auckland, claimed for the recovery of £35,000 alleged to be due under an agreement for the purchase of an area of some 5140 acr;s of standing timber about 12 miles north of Taupo. The appeal judges held that the contract made by plaintiff with the Minister was ultra vires because.it was a contract of option, and not a contract of purchase, and also that the Crown was entitled to repudiate the contract for defect of title. The Crotvii was held to be entitled to costs in the, Court of Appeal on the highest scale, and such costs as the Supreme Court may allow in : respect of proceedings in that court. Appeal to the Privy Council will probably now be sought by plaintiff.

On Thursday Wing-Commander Grant Dalton visited Foxton for the purpose of inspecting sites for a plane landing ground at the- seaside. He was met by the Mayor, Chamber of Commerce representatives, Mr J. Linklator, M.P., Chairman of the Harbour Board, and Mr B. Linklater, who holds a pilot’s certificate. Commander Dalton said that before long an Auckland-Welling-ton Air Service would be running, whose planes would only call in where there were good grounds. If Foxton possessed such an area then it would be indicated on the map and used. After a survey of the old river bed Commander Dalton said the'site would be a very good landing ground in its present condition but it could not be called an aerodrome. Before it could receive that title it would be necessary to remove a number of sandhills and hummocks to the north. The local ground was certainly very easy to find owing to its proximity to the Manawatu Eiver and in its present state with very little work would make a good third-class landing ground. To come into this classificathe, landing ground required to bo 440 yards square but the fact that the approaches were good and not blocked by houses or trees made a difference and possibly in this case the area could be a little smaller. If, however,, you clear 360 yards each way, said the Commander, you will come into the picture with regard to commercial flying and we will put you on the map which is to come out soon. Foxton was lucky. The area was a natural landing ground and could be made into an excellent aerodrome at little cost whereas other towns were spending thousands of pounds on preparing their grounds. There were a lot of ’planes going south now and they all passed down the coast and Foxton was right on their air line.

"I think we shall all be happier if we smoke" Thus Mr Justice Fraser, at a sitting of the Auckland Transport Appeal Board. His Honour then lit up, and counsel, clerks, officials and reporters followed suit. The judge evidently believes in the power of the weed to make people happy. So it does —provided its "the goods," But most imported brands reek with nicotine and (tobacco like that never made anyone happy—for long. The world’s purest brands are the New Zealand. They are all toasted, which process not only improves enormously flavour and aroma but renders them absolutely safe to smoke. You can indulge as freely as you please without fear of consequences. And, note this! —they are the only toasted tobaccos on the market and once you have tried toasted baccy, you won’t hanker after the other .sort! There are various brands of these beautiful goods, perhaps those most in demand being "Cut Plug No. 10," "Navy Cut,’' "Biverhead Gold" and "Cavendish."—N.P. 85*
