BOBBY CALVES WORTH MORE

BIG INCREASE IN PRICES PAID. BIG CALVES WORTH UP TO 8/6. Farmers in South Taranaki are deriving comfort from the improved prices being paid this year for bobby calves. A typical example is that of a fafmer whose top price for a calf last year was 2/6. The other day he received ss. for a very small calf which might have been worth 6d. last year. Prices so far have ranged up to Bs. 6d., and generally it appears likely that the average dairy farmer’s calf money will be at least double last year’s. It is, of course, only a small item, but the few extra pounds will be very welcome. The factors leading to the higher prices are two-fold. The rise in the value of hides has had an important influence, and at the same time there is a shortage of this class of meat MANAIA GOLFERS’ SUCCESS. HAWERA VISITORS DEFEATED.

Preparations for the Okaiawa school jubilee to 'be celebrated on September 29,, were further considered at a special meeting of the school committee on Wednesday. It was decided that a reunion of old pupils and old residents take place at the school at 1 p.m. and that a social and dance be held in the hall in the evening. Invitations will be issued to members of the Taranaki and Wanganui Education Boards, local members of Parliament, representatives of local bodies and neighbouring school committees. The programme will take the form of short speeches, items by the children, and a display of school work. It was resolved to ask the ladies of the district to assist with the afternoon tea. The convening of a meeting of old pupils to arrange the social was left to Messrs. D. Johnston and E. Oldfield. In the event of a wet day the afternoon gathering will take place in the hall.

There will be three experienced judges and the competition will be judged on old-time standards. There will also be a good programme of novelty dances. HAWERA OPERA HOUSE; J. HULBERT IN “LOVE ON WHEELS.” Wallace Beery has plenty of scope in “Flesh,” which will be shown finally at the Hawera Opera House to-night, for his undoubted dramatic ability. Capably supported by the attractive Karen Morley, he gives a really fine performance in the powerful story of a great-hearted man. Jack Hulbert is not a policeman in “Love on Wheels,” which opens at the Opera House to-morrow night. He has the role of Fred Hopkins, floor walker in Gallop’s Stores. Now Fred’s job is very peculiar. He has to get the sack every time a customer complains! Gallop’s customers are always right, and, a? somebody has got to be wrong, it might just as well be Fred, who, in the words of the general manager, “possesses such a stupidly foolish face that the offended customer is bound to understand a mistake made by such an idiot, and when he is fired they feel it is. just and they are compensated!”’ Jack Hulbert has plenty of scope for his famous inanities and, as the film contains numerous humorous incidents and song numbers, it is a thoroughly enjoyable film. “My Pal the King,” with Tom Mix and special supports, will be shown at the matinee.
