Field, M.P. for Otaki, that opossums should be at once protected >n tho native bush between Wellington, Palmerston North, and Masterton. Any person, however, will he allowed to kill these animals on his own property if they are doing damage there. I carina' leave the old folk now; I'd bettor 'bide a wee: Dad's got a cold, arid Mum's not well, And pipes the ither e'c. I'll gansr doon to tho corner store For Woods' Great Peppermint Cure, And Mum and Dad wil' "greet" no more; Ave —they'll be richt for sure.
