THE WINTER SHOW.

‘Yon are a liar!” was the straightout charge made by the .Mayor of Auckland against a fighting man at a workers' meeting the other day. You can extol the merits of Taranaki as a producing district and as a desirable place in which to reside without any chance of such a charge being laid against you. If you are a worker, you can enjoy labour under most favourable conditions. If you have made your pile, or that nice little ‘‘sufficiency” that you need not work, you can enjoy your golf and bowls most of the year under conditions that cannot be surpassed in any coutnry. But whichever section you belong to, you can find time to speak well of your own town and district, and give a hand to help it along. Take a leaf out of the Tankees’ book and ‘‘Boost!” “Boost!” Boost!” This province is worthy of all the boosting wo can give it, and this town has a future unequalled in the Dominion if we all help to “boost” it. The petroleum people have done more the last month to. “boost” this district than all the advertising of the last twenty years, with the result that the capital will bo largely over-subscribed this week (some of you will scarcely get half the shares you have applied for). The winter shows of the last two years have been splendid advertisements as demonstrating what the district can produce; The show of this year promises to outclass absolutely any previous show in Taranaki. The display promised by the Department of Agriculture from the various State farms in the Dominion will be worth all the money the whole show will cost you. The exhibition of dairy produce will be among the largest ever seen in this island. The various district exhibits being prepared will be, I believe, worthy of their highest reputation.

The numerous new classes to the schedule, and the groat interest being taken in town and country and the large applications for space, and, added to all those, the whole of the New Plymouth poultry show, which includes all kinds of children’s pete, and which has of iteelf attracted for many years large numbers of visitors and competitors, together with the opening of the new Coronation Hall and show by his Excellency the .Governor on June 5, should bring togethef the largest crowd ever assembled in New Plymouth. Of course, you and youre will be there; and we want you to have some of your own work on exhibition and in competition with your neighbours, we want your children to have a “big stake” in the prizes, individually and in connection with the school they atDon’t miss it! Don’t leave it till next week to begin— get to work right now ,and apply for space straight away to the secretary. Yon will want to bo in the “big success,” so “Boost!” “Boost!” “Boost!” and 1 work. W. AMBTJBY, President Taranaki Agricultural Society.
