After a short cessation in its operations, Skippers Limited, Maori Point, are in full work again under the direction of Mr Robt. Climie. With the aid of the new hydro-electric power just installed, it is hoped to have continuous running of the elevator plant. Provided the weather conditions are favourable the prospects should be much brighter for the company. -S I M ; - The usual fortnightly euchre tournament and dance, under the auspices of the local branch of the Labour Party was held in the Town Hall on Friday evening. There was a good attendance. The prizes were won by Mrs T. Fearn and Mr A. Atley, the consolation 'awards going to Mrs McFelin and Mr H. Harris. After an excellent supper had been handed round, dancing was indulged in. A Monte Carlo dance was won ‘by Mr 0. M. Inglis and Mrs Johnstone. Investigations made by the New Zealand Counties’ Association shoAV that the wages paid to counties outside staffs have increased by 30 per cent., or at least £250,000 a year, a,Si the result of the introduction of award rates of pay. This fact was made known by the president of the association, Mr C. J. Talbot, of Fairlie, at the biennial conference at Wellington last week. “This, with the rise in the price of the material used’ in construction and maintenance work, will be certain to give county ratepayers a considerable increase in their rate burden,” Mr Talbot said. The usual fortnightly social was held in St. Joseph’s schoolroom on Tuesday evening. Prizes for the cards were Avon by Mrs Landrebe and Mr F. Cheyne, the second prizes going to Mrs Fodie and Mr Gallop. Hostesses for the evening were: Mesdames T. J. Dwyer, L. J. Lynch, and the Misses Luckie. After an enjoyable supper, dancing Avas indulged in to music supplied by Miss Mary Lynch (piano), Mr P. McSoriley (violin). Mr Wheeler (cornet), Mr J. T. Lynch (drums). Extras were played by Miss A. McSoriley. Plainly she Avash’t used to police courts. Timidly she begged for a separation order. “How long ha\’e you been married?” enquired the Magistrate. “Six months 1 and tired of it already? What’s the trouble?” She burst into tears ; then she told Hubby it appeared, didn’t love her _ any more; it was his pipe he Avas in love with! He kneAV how she hated tobacco smoke, But he didn’t care! “Afraid I can’t grant you a separation order because your husband smokes,” said the Magistrate, adding kindly, "Now you go home and make it up! You may be thankful some day your husband does smoke. Get him to change over to “toasted” tobacco. Even you can’t object to that! I smoke it ’myself; the bouquet’s delicious!” Tearfully she said she Avould. Brands there are unfortunately that do not make for harmony in the home. “Toasted” does! And it’s so pure, thanks to toasting that it cannot harm even; the heavy smoker! Ask for Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullse head), Navy Cut No. 3 ’(Bulldog), Cavendish, Eiverhead Gold or Desert G old —the only genuine toasted varieties. ! 1 Counter attractions detracted from the attendance at tho_ usual social evening at Arthurs Point on Friday last.
