The Australian Government proposes to extend the bounty on the production of raw cotton for five years. This costs £130,000 per annum, and the basic rate proposed is 31d. per lb. when the Liverpool spot price of American middling raw cotton was 6d. per lb. The bounty would vary with the Liverpool price, but not exceeding sld. per lb. * * * “So many vultures and harpies have roosted in the tree of patriotism that when a plain truthful statement is put forward in connection with the national war effort, there is a possibility of that statement being judged, along with other birds of patriotic feather, as self-interest rigged in the tri-colour, national plumage.”—“Progress” on “The Guaranteed Price." * * * One of the most heavily insured horses of thirty years ago was a chestnut stallion named Lynus that had a mane seventeen feet long and a sixteen-foot tail. Used for exhibition purposes in Canada, it was insured at one time for £4OOO. When on exhibition his mane and tail were spread on rugs to prevent soiling. When he was’ being driven they were enclosed in cloth bags. The freak growth of hair was never explained, his sire and dam being normal.
