"Mr Craigio has recoived an inrlta» . tiou to attend the CoroDation as one i of tho eiclit members of the Hotiso wh« ■ are asked to go from New Zealand o» ; guests of members of both Houses of

Parliament at Homo. He lias replied stating that lie is too busily (occupied, hero to 1 allow of his going away at tba present juncture." ' ■■■ ■ ' .'i~? The "Herald's" information; 3id not, >< state that Mr Craigie's invitation, was' cent at tlio special instancs of 1 King George, who would like to have tlie benefit of the Mayor of Timaru's great experience in giving Council rulings bofore he decides whether or ziot ho will consent to create 500 new liberal .poors.

Inquiries ore being made as to liow it was- that eighty oilier members of "the House of Repr-esentatives came to receive •" invitations."

"Tlie applicants (for Mackenzie runs) were by no means confined to sheep men, but included chemists, hotelkeepers (past and present), doctors, auctioneers, ministers of tlio gospel> land agents, carpenters, tobacconists, farmers in a small as well as others in a large way, married and single women, clerks, engineers, people ,of means, who have no need to do another day's work, and in short all classes tlio community. It was really wonderful how many and varied were th« applicants, and an opinion freely exv pressed was to the effect that dummy--ism (one of the things it was desired io prevent) was rife, and that the Mmic>rr r or LniKl'-- bad sadly bungled the re-letting of" the runs an more ways than one." —Newspaper report.

If you want to be a doctor or a preacher, A' lawyer, or an engineer, maybe, A surveyor, an accountant, .or 4 teacher, f You have to be a man with a degree;' You have to pass exams, to fihow your, iitness, Before they let you earn an honest btib, 4 And if you fail to pass, it's certain you're "no class" —You're not the proper fellow fofl the job. But farming is a different profession, As every man -of sense must surely know. You fit yourself for farming by possession, Our Government has said that it is so; I You ballot for a Government selection, i You pay the rent and stock it, then; behold ! It doesn't really matter if you'rft grocer, clerk, or hatter, i You're certain «ure to make your pilg of gold. So come along, y-a jewellers aud bakers, And ladios who aro tired of the tpwn, To ballot for the fat and fertile acres. Fop mountain iand and plain, anal rolling down; And come along, ye publicaas and lawyers, Arise, and quit your slaving at tie bar; And join the merry scramble for thfl democratic Ramble, You'll soon be riding in your motor, car. Our Government's benevolent intention Is .sometimes set at naught by one on two; . It sometimes happens (this I blush to mention) That t farmers get the sections meant ■ jo!' you. But still, clmor up! good fruiterers andi tailors. And don't give up, ye doctors, in dcGpnir; Rut smile your best and sit up; thero'j lots more land to split up; And every townioY, bound to get his share.
