THE C. M. ROSS CO., LTD. HEADQUARTERS FOR MAX FACTOR PRODUCTS

Rangiwahia. Dear Hub, —It is a long time since I wrote in to the page, but this time I am writing in to answer “Present, Hub ” I have done this week’s skilltest and l will send it in. We will be starting our examinations this week. I will be glad when tho Christmas holidays come, because we are going to the Centennial Exhibition. Are you going too, Hub? Our school is practising for the school concert now. Well, Hub, it is getting late, so I will close now. Your loving Coglet, Dewdrop. I hope you are working hard for the examinations. Yes, 1 think I’ll have to pay a visit to the Centennial Exhibition; it should be very interesting. Apiti. Dear Hub, —I have not written for a long time, so I thought I would write a few lines with the skilltest. Do I havo to say “Present, Hub,” as my name starts with W. I am going to Bulls next week-end to say with my grandmother aud I am longing for Friday to come. My other grandmother is at present staying with us. I will also bo looking forward to the holidays, when I will be going to the Exhibition. We havo got some lovely little chicks out now and it is funny to watch them. It is my bed-tiine, so I will close. Lazy Bones. You travel much, don’t you, dear. It is nice to have two grandmothers, isn’t it? Apiti-Feilding. Dear Hub, —Just a note to accompany the skilltest, which was fairly easy this week. We finished our examinations' last Friday, so now they are over we will be able to take things easier. The serial, “The White Tomahawk,” is promising to be good, isn’t it, Hub? This evening it started to rain quite heavily. It was very welcome as the vegetable garden coi<d do with quite a lot to make things grow. Last Sunday we went to the Showgrounds to see the massed brass and pipe bands. Their inarching aud playing was splendid, and some of the bands looked very smart in their new uniforms. Well, Hub, I must close now. Finto Pete. I saw that band display, Pinto Pete, and thought it was a stirring spectacle. Feilding. Dear Hub, —I am sorry I have not written more often. We have three pet lambs; their names are Bertie, Susan and Timmy. A bulldozer came about a week ago to our school aud levelled out our playground, and we could nearly use it as a tennis court. I have done the skilltest and I hope it is right as I did it quickly. Your loving Cog,

Tigger. 1 would love to see the lambs. Bull

dozers are a wonderful invention, aren’t they?

Manga what a. Dear Hub, —On Wednesday, November 15, the calf-judging took place. In dairy type Rosalie, my calf, came third, while in care and attention she came second. I think that the other children did just as good as I did, because we had to compete aganst stock that had won prizes in the Show. Our judge was a Shorthorn breeder, and it was Shorthorn stock we competed against. I am sending in the’ skilltest and hope it is correct. I hope to take Rosalie to the Feilding ehampionshps which are to be held on December 5. We are wondering who has won the calf records. We havo one little kitten and I call him “Poggey.” My budgies haven’t started tot lay yet. Our tanks are nearly dry and we are hoping rain will come soon. I will close now with love to you and tho Coglets. White Heather. I think Rosalie shows great promise as a calf, White Heather. Feilding. Dear Hub,—l think it is about time I wrote to you again. I have been staying with my auntie and uncle for six weeks while daddy and mummy anJ iittle brother John were at the beach. I have a baby opossum; it’s such a lovely little thiug, aud it sits up and eats with its two paws just like a monkey. Now I will close. Lovo to you and all the Cogs, from Honey. I would love to see your pet having its meal. You must have had a good time staying with auntie. Feilding. Dear Hub, —I am sending in the skilltest this week. I have not written for a long time. Christmas will soon be here, won’t it, Hub? I shall be 12 years old next Monday. I hope 1 pass this year when I should bo in Form IT. Our garden is looking well now since the ruin. We have 600 gladioli planted out again this year, so they should look nice when they flower. Love to all the Cogs aud yourself. Buster. I do hope you have a happy birthday, my dear. Your gladioli should provide a lovely sight. Yes, Christmas will be upon us all too soon, I am afraid. Apiti-Feilding. Dear Hub,---Last Sunday we all went to Palmerston North to hear the bands which were nice. There were eight brass and six pipe bauds. Wo are having our calf-judging to-morrow, which 1 am lookiug forward to. On Tuesday tvc are having our examination tests. Powder and Patches writes lovely rhyming letters which I love reading. Well, I think 1 had better close. Lots of love to you and all the Cogs. Mistress Mac. 1 hope you did well iu the calf judging, Mistress Mac.
