Mr J. E. Hiudlcy, chairman of the South Island -National Hairy Association, has written to Air Craigie, M.P., thanking him tor tho successful result of his efforts hi securing the appointment or a grader tor toe port of Timaru. It would be of great benefit to the dairying industry in tins district.

At the Acclimatisation Society's annual meeting, a member who had not attended these meetings before said he could not help being struck with tho am-Junt of contradiction that members indulged in. He could not understand "the tone of the meeting. One moment members were saying there were no fish in the streams, and next minute .others said the rivers were teeming. Either there was plenty of fish or there was not. It was a qms--tion of fact surely, and the time of the meeting should not be wasted by pursuing such useless discussions about it. The chairman took tho hint and called for the nert business, and tho meeting was over in record time. The meeting of the Fairview Mutual Improvement Society was hold on Thursday evening. Mrs Grossman occupied the chair, and there were between thirty and forty members and friends present. A musical programme was gone through, those taking part were—Mrs Hornbrook, Mrs Grossman, Misses Ttaddon, Squire, and K. Thorean and Mr Congo]ton : violin solo hy Mr Congeltou, and reading by Mr Parlane. A vote oi thanks to' the performers was proposed by Mr lladdou and seconded by Rev. \Y. J. Kntieoti ; a very enjoyable evening coming to :1 close. Next Thursday evening will l:e devotional night. WHY DO CUSTOMS AVOTJK?

At their meeting this week tho Timaru Savage Club had an interesting discussion as to who should pay for liquid refreshment when such was used at koreros. n the past, liquid refreshment had been paid for bv iicii vidual members, but some thought that it should be naid for out of tho general funds of the club. Others disagreed with this, and on a vote being taken, it was, resolved that the rule •dirmld stand as it is—rhat is. tb-i honor should be paid for bv those v, ho drink it.

The "Weekly Press" has the following in reference to the recent boxing tourney in Christchurch: —"Another event was the introduction to it" audience of Mr It. Cooke, who acted as referee. Mr Cooke got a good r, - caption, and as far as the discharge of his duties was concerned he justifj-'d the coniidence which had been rej.o- 'd in him. He has a line strong ;'oi.-". which was able to penetrate to lie' competitors through many excitu j h'.'.rly-hurly.s, and the vigour of hisemaphore gesticulations for silcueo on the part of a. roaring audienco argued some physical capacity. Altogether, Mr Cooke was a success.''

At tlie meeting of the Poultry Society last Mr F. C. Wat son handed round for the inspection of mouthers a novel kind of egg, called the Knor r.e-st egg. It is sol:<i, a remarkably good representation of a real egg. and is guaranteed to free any nest, iu

which it; is placed, of all kinds of vermin. It gives off a very strong odour.

The present selection of Pathe films •s quite equal to any previous series ihowu in Timaru. and the audience that attended tlie Theatre Royal last evening were hearty and spontaneous in applauding tlie views. Historic and scenic, films figure largely in tlie programme, and are of a distinctly interesting nature. There will he tlie usual two performances to-day. one in the afternoon and ono in the evening.

Last evening at the Olympia Hall there was a fairly numerous attendance of skaters, and the floor was in excellent condition for the pastime. There will be the usual sessions to-day. The afternoon and evening; sessions will nc doubt be well attended. as every arrangement has been made for the comfort of patrons, and the skates are running very smoothly. Tlie Garrison Band orchestra plays every evening.

Owing to the lateness of the season the Alhury-Cave Collie Dog Club have decided net to hold the trials just now, but to get them off early next year. The new club was formed so late that it was thought better to postpone the trials in the meantime than to attempt anything wliich. through lack of time in properly working tip, might turn out unsuccessful. and consequently cripple the club from the outset. There. ;s every prospect- of the club being sound and healthy, but it was considered in the interests of all concerned that the above steo should bo taken.

The Arts and Crafts Exhibition which opens next week promises to be one of tlie largest of its kind ever l:ekl. Pictures from sonic- of the best artists in New Zealand will he on view and also a number of Royal Academy pictures. There will he oil and water colours, black and white work from various Technical Schools, and the department has sent eight cases of work by- South Kensington art 6tudents. There will !>? varied shows of applied art. enamel work, beaten copper work, wood-carving, etc.. and everything i--heinrj arranged to the best advantage. The collections h.ave nlreadv been seen by Mr Isaac. New Zealand Technical School Instructor, and tie said that Timaru could congratulate itself as the show of nlr-tures was equal to anything lie had seen. The curio section should be very interesting and the National Art Gallery pictures should attract wide attention.

The Marine Band's fete, which was postponed on account, of the death of the late King, has been fixed for a fresh date —June loth, and the scene is to lie the Assembly Rooms. The additional time will be utilised in making tlie fete more attractive, and the bill of fare is so extensive that it will provide a. very busy afternoon and evening for patrons of the affair. For sales stalls a large quantity and variety of suitable materials has been collected. In the afternoon there is to be a baby show: and in both afternoon and evening a '•poster' competition, and performances by two parties of girls, one trained by Sergeant-Major Jones (the "Tiniaru Lancers '), the other by some or those who gave such popular exhibitions at the late bazaar in Olympia. The refreshment room will be furnished, of course, and there will be plenty of music, Mrs Mayo's orchestra, augmented for the occasion, and the Mandolin Band aiding the Marine Band, and the Pipe Band will play for some Highland dancing. The Fete will wind ivp with a popular dance.

TIRED OF COTjqHING. Your ihest will stand a lot. but you can't expect it to stand the strain of that continual coughing, for there's nothing more weakening and injurious to the lungs. Don't suffer any longer, but get a bottle of Baxter's Lung Preserver to-day, and be rid of your hacking cough to-morrow. This proven remedy 5s famous because it cures quickly. "It's worth Is a drop." The Is 10d" sized bottle is the most economical... AVOIDING A BAD COLD. This cold damp weather, it's the easiest- tiling to take a nasty chill, and you begin to feel that burning sensation at the back of the nose, tickling in the throat, etc., and it's iu.st at this stage when Baxter's Lung Preserver will quickly remove all trace of the trouble. Keep a bottle by you to stop the chills before they develop into serious complications. "It's worth ls a drop." The ls lOd size represents the best value...

SOME SUCCESSFUL PATENTS. IDEAS THAT PAY.

Once a patent takes on, it begins to pay. and the patentee's income is then insured. A man obtained a patent in the Tnited States for a slight improvement in ehaifoutters. and after eight months sold it for £BOOO. Another inventor obtained a patent to thresh and clean grain and sold it in fifteen months for £12.000, while a third had a patent monopoly in a special prhrti-i-'s ink and finally sold it for £12.000. These are ordinary cases of ■innor inventions involving no great incentive powers and of which hundreds to out of t'ne patent office every year. New Zealand inventions can likewise be placed in the same successful list, and among his clients Henry Hughes has many such., who are. he is happy to say. doing well. If you have invented

anything that nils a want, or replaces any less efficient contrivance, obtain expert information and patent it. For this purpose the office of Her.rv (A. R. 'Hoidship., IS3 Hereford St." Christ<-hurch. is fully equipped for ailvising the inventor on the stxtt J E. R. Jackson. Stafford St. is the Timaru agent for Henry Hughes. ... DOCTORS DIFFER. Theologians also. _ We all speculate as to whether <:i:!j lives live for ever. What is one man's meat is another mans poison. _ What is pain to me is joy to vou, and contrariwise. The relativity of pleasure is almost complete. Your bootblack does not wish to edit a paper, and yon don't wish to live in Buckingham Palace. The baffled millionaire who finds the Kohinoor is not for sale is probably no more disconsolate and no less disconsolate than the beggar bov who only has a ha'penny, and knows that his favourite tart is priced at twice that sum. Finally. Heaven gives us our relations — Thank God we can choose our friends and our Ointment. . To re"« pit-date. Doctors, Theologians, et hoc genus omne mav differ, but a", who I>-> V e experience agree that Red Cress Ointment stand-- alone as *:he greatest thing in cti--.-. her-ar'so wherever there is a skin affl : ct : -n Pe'd Cross Ointment v.-iih .-.fter tre nr.-t application, obsolut'-ly fejtM heating work.

j The absence of rain, almost atuount- ■ nig to drought, wliich has prevailed in the country round Oainaru lately. the "Mail" says, is being severely felt iin the Hampden district. Many tanks
