UNBEATEN £B-10/ JAGO BIGGS LTD STUART ST, DUNEDIN MAIL YOUR ORDERS The red flag was flown from a tree in South Hagley Park on Tuesday afternoon until it was reported to Mr James Young, curator of the Christchurch Botanic Gardens, who quickly took steps to have it removed. Mr Young received a message that the Soviet flag was fluttering from a tree alongside which about 20 members of the unemployed were working. When asked to remove the flag one of the men hesitated, but when Mr Young drew a knife with the intention of doing the job himself, it was quickly hauled down. The men were given to understand that flying such a flag would not be tolerated. CHILBLAINS There’s nothing so good as the special Chilblain Liniment that Wilkinson, & Son sell at 1/6.

George St. Another war-time hero, who never harmed anyone, has passed away. He was Lightning, the carrier pigeon who fetched and carried messages for four years at the naval base at Lowestoit. lie was wvy young to begin, barely of war age, for he was only just over 17 when he passed away full of years and honours. Lightning was the last but one of the three carrier pigeons that have survived the war until this year. Rupert who was another, had an unhappy fate, for that brave old bird was killed by a wandering cat. The last to be left is Old Bill, who for three years was an emissary of General Headquarters at Montreuil in France. The expression “ Black Maria ” with application to a prison van originated in America over 60 years ago. A big negro woman called Maria Lee kept a seamen’s lodging house in Boston. The men were usually unruly, and Maria was often called upon to help to get them under lock and key. VALUE B.S.A. BICYCLES
