At the funeral of the late Mr. Jacob Marx at the Eltham cemetery yesterday there was a large procession of over 60 cars. The residents of Mangatoki, among whom Mr. Marx had spent over 40 years of his life, were strongly represented and there were also many representatives of the dairy industry with which he was connected for a great number of years. A short service was held at the Eltham Anglican Church by the Rev. W. Langston, who also conducted the ceremony at the graveside. The pall-bearers were Messrs. R. H. Free, D. L. A. Astbury, R. D. Douglass, J. L. Taylor, J. S. McKay and A. T. Sulzberger. Many wreaths were received from friends and organisations.

GENERAL ITEMS. “Long Pants” for Farmers. “I feel that we are just getting into long pants—our boyish, happy-go-lucky days of rising prices are over,” said Mr. T. T. Murray, president of the Toko branch of the Farmers’ Union, at the branch’s annual meeting on Wednesday night. Mr. Murray was referring to the grave responsibility attaching to measures in any way affecting the future of the fanning industry. “We have had a very serious year, and every action we take now is going to have serious effects later,” he said. Wreaths of Remembrance. Tributes to the memory of those who fell at Gallipoli were found yesterday in the wreaths that were placed around the photographs in the entrance to the Stratford Municipal Chambers. A women’s committee, with the Mayor’s daughter, Miss Molly McMillan, at the head, spent all day Wednesday fashioning wreaths which were suspended with the aid of borough officials. The flowers, which were given, formed a beautiful framework and gave to the entrance an atmosphere it attains only once a year. A certain number of wreaths were set aside and early yesterday morning were draped around the Malone memorial gates at King Edward Park and the civic memorial gates at Victoria Park. Moeroa Road Blocked. Another bad slip occurred on the Mangamingi Ridge near the Devil’s Elbow on Wednesday morning, making the road dangerous for traffic. A partial clearing to enable vehicles to go through was made during the day, and yesterday a final clearance was effected. The road is now passable. A further big underslip has occurred on the road between Omoana and Moeroa near the White Pine Bend. This has completely blocked all traffic, and it will probably be some time before vehicles can pass.

ELTHAM TALKIES. “THERE'S ALWAYS TO-MORROW.” One of the most wholesome and enjoyable domestic plays yet screened will be shown to-night at Eltham, under the name of ‘There’s Always To-morrow.” The picture deserves particular commendation because of its wholesomeness and light comedy appealing to all family members. With Mr. Morgan as the father, Lois Wilson as the mother, and Miss Barnes as the “other” woman, “There’s Always To-morrow” is at times humorous in its situations and semitragic at others. The five children of the household discover Morgan’s interest in Miss Barnes and their efforts to save their father from the girl they believe to be a vamp provide some of the most rollicking scenes the screen has revealed in a long time. The picture introduces besides Miss Barnes, Louise Latimer, in her first picture since leaving the Broadway stage, Elizabeth Young, who attained distinction with Garbo in “Queen Christina,” Dick Winslow and Helen Parrish, two of the children of “Seed,” Alan Hale, Maurice Murphy and Margaret Hamilton. The work of each is of stellar quality.

PERSONAL ITEMS. Mr. A. R. Thompson, junr., Waipuku, has left the district to reside at Whangamomona. Sympathy with Mr. E. Phelan because of the death of his wife, with Mr. T. H. R®we because of the death of his mother and with the relatives of the late Mr. A. 'Bretherton and Gordon Stove was ’exexpressed at the annual meeting of the Toko branch of the Farmers’ Union on Wednesday night. The death occurred at Auckland last Saturday of Mrs. Rowe, formerly a wellknown resident of Normanby, Duthie Road, Mangatoki, Mangamingi and Eltham, who had been living for some years at Auckland. Her husband died at Tauranga about 10 years ago. There is a

Mr. Burgham, a longstanding member of the branch, celebrated his 80th birthday on that day.
