Colonel Logan reports that the health of the troops in Samoa is good. Private G. Dews is suffering from iritis and P. J. Penniwith from cardiac trouble. All are doing well.—Press Association. At the annual meeting of the Wellington Woollen Manufacturing Company on Monday the chairman (Mr. H. P. BamberV said that the company had had an abnormal year. The larger profits were due to the demand for the company’s goods, owing to the restriction of importations, not to any inflation of prices. The ordinary business offering could not be accepted in full. Owing to the preference given to urgent military requirements the operatives had been hard worked, as employees for a second shift could not be procured. The existence of woollen mills in New Zealand had been justified by the work done in assisting to equip troops. A bonus of 5 per cent, was granted to employees in recognition of their year’s work, and a £SOO bonus was granted to tho directors. Mr. W. T. Hookham requires a capable assistant for the clothing and mercery. Complete stock of Photographic Supplies at the Davies Pharmacy.* Kodaks and all kodak supplies at the Davies - Pharmacy.
