The farmers were getting like a lot of school “kids.” Iu fact, be added, they were asking for so much legislation that they could not' do what they liked with their own produce. “I have grubbed gorse time and again until I am tired,” said a delegate at the Farmers’ Conference at Feeding, “and the Railway Department let their gorse grow and whe'n • they » felt inclined they just put a match to it.” Another farmer stated that all the troublesome weeds on his place came from the county council property.

Wilford, referring to prisoners ana tlielr habits, said he bad noticed, during his connection with the Justice Department, that it was the custom of men serving sentence to adopt the religion of the goaler in charge of them, evidently thinking that ""by doing so they would keep in his good books.

An authentio story is told of a woman who had nol sufficient cash to enable her to be present. Her credit, however, was good, so she obtained a ham from her pro vision merchant at a cost of 16s and immediately disposed of it for 10s to a neighbour. By this means the woman in question obtained her desire, but whether she was successful in making up the loss on the ham is not recorded.

It is well-known that Hawaii is a great tourist resort, and is visited annually by thousands upon thousands of Americans, besides Australians and New Zealanders, and people from the Orient. It is very interesting to notice in recent exchanges from Honolulu, that the Hawaii iourist Bureau, engaged mainly in directing attention to the tourist resorts of Hawaii, is giving on Monday afternoon, a moving picture entertainment depicting scenery and the attractions of New Zealand. The slides were furnished to the Hawaii Tourist Bureau by the - Government Tourist Oihce of New Zealand, as the result of a trip made to New Zealand a few months back by Mr George T. Armitage, secretary of the Hawaii Tourist i Bureau. Mr Armitage, when he visited New Zealand, was surprised to note the little advertising done overseas, and he undeitook to see that all American visitors to Honolulu should receive booklets and other matter relating to New Zealand. He was of the opinion that this action on his part would mean a greater influx of American tourists in New Zealand, to whom at present New Zealand is very little known through lack of advertising.
