RESULTS OF BOBBY CALF POOL LAST YEAR’S OPERATIONS. A brief outline of tho operations of last year’s bobby calf pool were given to the Otakeho Farmers’ Association on Monday, by Mr. C. D. Dickie. He said that owing to the methods of marketing being unsatisfactory it was decided last year to form a veal marketing association for the whole of Nev 7 Zealand. This embraced all except two proprietary concerns. A selling scheme was evolved by which the produce was handled by two brokers. While the meat sold very well and the offal realised good prices skin prices were much lower than in the previous year and the net average result was 7s 5d for small calves and 8s 5d for large ones. Had the skins brought as much as in the previous year the average prices would have been 10s 6d for small and Ils 6d for large calves. Large skins were not always the most valuable, the finer Jersey skins being worth more because they were suitable for making into the finer grades of leather. Skins were not sold by weight but always at ■per skin. Tho average weight of meat from Taranaki calves was 161 b, while from Waikato calves it was 181 b and from South Island calves 201 b. The lower working expenses of the Taranaki pool, however, enabled them to show a better return. In this pool nothing but bare working costs and. Id per head levy for the expenses of the marketing federation had been deducted. ‘ The proposals for the present year’s pool were also discussed and Mr. Dickie was accorded a voted of thanks for his address,- ■ :

OPERA HOUSE TALKIES. •. “LOVE, LIVE AND LAUGH.” “Love, Live and Laugh,” the current talking feature film at tho Hawera Opera House Talkies, reflects the drama that enters into the lives of humble Italian folk in New York. Luigi and Pasquale, two young Italians, are very great friends, whose intercourse is interrupted by the command that Pasquale must return to Italy to serve his time in the army. Luigi gives his friend a good send-off. Always bright and gay, Luigi makes merry with his accordion, and while so doing is requested by his neighbour. Margherita to play softly, as there is a sick baby across the hall. This is the commencement of a romance between the two. She likes LuigL and liking merges into loving. Although Luigi is chronically hard up, the romance cheers him wonderfully, and. all is. going well when news of his father’s illness arrives. If he would see him alivo he must return at once to Italy, Luigi is soon on his way but arrives too late., In Italy lie becomes stirred -by the fever of war. and joins the regiment of which Pasquale is a member. At the front in the Austro-ltalian Alps, Luigi is blinded by a bursting shell. In New York Margherita is advised, that Luigi’s regiment has been annihilated, and she mourns her lover as dead lor a long time, tliough urged by Dr. Brantion to forget her grief and marry him, ‘which she eventually does. In the meantime the broken soldier-lover is the Inmate of a hospital in Italy, and after four years Pasquale persuades Luigi to return to New York. To earn a living Luigi takes to his accordion once more, and while playing in Central Park,'ho attracts the attention of a little girl, who loves to hear him playing and singing. Pasquale begs a famous surgeon to see Luigi’s eyes and to operate. This restores Luigi’s eyesight, and when he. goes to thank Dr. Brandon for his great caro and attention, he discovers Margherita- to be the lady of the house, and the little girl of the park io be her daughter, .Margherita wishes to disclose the position to her husband,, but Luigi forbids it. He ‘Tove, Live-and Laugh” will be finally will go away—and so the picture ends, shown this evening.
