A New Plymouth resident, tired of being pushed out of rented houses, recently purchased 1 a seven-roomed house of has own, and promptly gave notice to his tenant to quit. But the tenant was an ex-soldier, and would not budge. The owner suggested that th© tenant could stay on and occupy three of the rooms, he using the other four. But the ex-soldier, secure m his position, was adamant. The owner .approached the Repatriation Committee with a view to securing its good offices, but as tlie committee exists to help returned soldiers, it could only suggest to the irate owner, that he persevere m the exercise of moral suasion, the only force which he could legally use. MUSIC NOT A LUXURY. Who but the most narrow-minded could possibly call music a luxury? A luxury is anything that can be taken out of our lives without actual suffering. Music could not be taken out of our live* without real suffering. It speaks m all tongues, and all ears understand. It brings man into oloser touch with his Creator, and with his fel <*w-man, than, any other medium. Tt speaks to the souls of men, and men respond with the noblest aaid purest deeds of heroism. Inspired by it, they make the sublimest sacrifices, with a smile on their lips. They go into battle— they go down on ships at sea singing songs. People buy food, clothing, and shelter simply because they must hay© them. To round out their lives, to help make, living worth while, to brighten leisure hours, and to bind the home ties closer, mankind must have music.
