Shearing operations arc no\v in progress In the Fitzhorbert ami Tiritea districts, and several loads of wool have already heen brought in to the local railway station. When some motor cases were before the Magistrate’s Court this morning, Mr \V. (!. Iv. Kenrick, S.M., expressed the opinion that under present circumstances motor licenses should not ho granted to young men who should be put to more useful work in the country. Sufficient men over 30 years of age, or men unfit to do heavy physical work, could be found to act as motor drivers, and the authorities might well consider the question. Many people were somewhat amazed t„ see that the Virginia creeper, which covers one side ol the ohl building 1 01 - merle occupied by the Hank of Zealand, was quite dead. It transput's that someone entered the premises on Friday or Saturday night and cut the main stem of the plant. During the autumn months the old Bank was quite an object of interest to visitors with its festoons of copper-coloured leaves, and the act of vandalism is very much to he regretted.

Canterbury is famous for its dairy produce, so is Taranaki; Nelson for its hops; Dunedin for its boor; Mosgiel, i’etone and Kaiapoi for their woollens and tweeds. Hawke’s Bay is for building up a solid reputation in the same way for its tobacco. The Gold Pouch brand which is grown, cured and manufactured in this district, alrca.lv constitutes an industry of importance. ‘ This tobacco represents an entirely m-w type which differs from the imported brand inasmuch as it contains loss nicotine. That is whv it is so mild and mellow and why it can be smoked continuously without affecting the heart or the nerves. Most smokers who give us a trial ask like Outer Twist for “more.” If you are in the habit of rolling your own cigarettes, you can sa\o money by using N.Z. grown Throe Diamonds” tobacco. A shilling pouch of that delicious weed will make 40 to 50 full sired cigarettes. Compare that with urn nrice you have to pay for the yellow stuff from oversea.—ffdvt.
