For many centuries men were content to work and obey the command "Six days slialt thou labor." In this colony, however, organised idlers started a. movement which has resulted m making the law read '.'Five and a-half days slialt thou labor" — of' course for six days' pay. The weekly half-holiday is now far more sacred .than the Sabbath. The Jatter may be broken with impunity, so far as human laws are concerned, bui violation of the sanctity of the former is punishable by fine, followed by imprisonment if the fine is not paid. — Rangitikei Advocate.
