At a meeting of the Waihopai School Committee held on the sth instant, a scheme of improvements to the school grounds was considered. Mr E. R. Wilson put in a plan of the grounds giving the levels, and a scheme of tile-draining with suitable connecting plough drains was approved, subsequent ploughing and grassing being decided on. It is hoped to convert the present -wet, rough, and more or less useless playground into two useful playing areas. Estimates of the cost of the work were given by Mr Wilson and also by Mr W. Alexander, who is a member of the committee. It was decided to approach the Education Department for the usual pound for pound subsidy on such works, and to call a meeting of parents to consider the best means of raising the required funds.

The recent visit of the contingent of Taranaki farmers to Southland has had many beneficial results not the least important of which is the fact that many of the visitors now acknowledge they were entirely ignorant of the fine lands, stock, and general conditions existing here for successful farming. They were even more surprised when they learned that hundreds of people in the southernmost province during the winter months earned good cheques simply by trapping rabbits, securing the skins, and then sending them to Andrew Wilson, Ltd., where the invariable rule is to give top market values throughout the entire season. Many folk have openly stated to friends and acquaintances that their season’s catches have resulted in more money being made simply because they have selected Andrew Wilson, Ltd., as the firm where top values are certain to be obtained. —Advt.

Watson, Justices of the Peace, to answer a charge of having been found drunk on the North Road at 7.40 on Wednesday evening, pleaded guilty; Senior-Sergeant Fox said that accused had not previously appeared in court. A householder had telephoned the Police Station to say that a man was lying on his verandah, either dead or drunk. A constable had gone out, and as the accused was not dead, but drunk, he was ejected from the premises and arrested. Accused had been bailed out during the night by some friends.
