LUNCHEON TO REINFORCEMENTS.
' To I In: Editor of " 'flic Tillies.'' Dear Sir,—*l see my brother, "Little Jimmy," has been writing to this'papers and I don't think it is fair to do it .without me, as we have talked the uiatt«r over a "lot, and we had not decided ■wllieli 'of the two 'should get the first chance to give a.'lunch to the soldiers, the Prohibition Party or the Ministers' Association. I though the ministers should have.the lirst show, as there are i so iilaiiy church people that it would be j easy for them to give a real good lunch to all. the' soldiers, and it would not coiuu very hard on any of them. But perhaps "Jimmy'' is'right and the Prohibition people should have first ejiance, as they have taken such a very great interest in our soldiers all the time. .Didn't they have a big meeting in Oamaru and send telegrams to' the Prime Minister to make lvim shut up the nasty public houses so that' the soldiers would have to spend their leave in the nice, clean, rainy streets instead of the wicked- hotels. Yes, perhaps it is up to them iirst,and'the ministers can give the next one—l am, etc., ' LITTLE MARY.
