During the hearing of claim for debt at the To Awamutu Court counsel asked the debtor how he managed to live on £2 10s a week and support a family of five. Counsel looked surprised when the debtor- replied, with obvious sincerity: “Well, we manage to live. We were brought up in the old school, and don’t go to pictures. I must say there is nothing to spend, but we manage to live.” A song for the All Blacks has been written and composed by Mr A. Worsley, of Christchurch. “It’s a jolly good song,” said Mr S. F. Wilson, at last evening's meeting of the Canterbury Rugby Football Union, in announcing that Mr Worsley had handed over tho composition with the request that it should bo forwarded to the New Zealand Union. The Union decided to forward the song as suggested, and to thank Mr Worslev for his generous gift, “If the All Blacks adopt tho song, the New Zealand Union should make money out of it,” observed Mr J. K. Moloney. “The time for high prices for dairy produce has passed,” said Mr- A. J. Sinclair, acting-manager of the New Zealand Co-opox-ativo Dairy Co., Ltd., at a meeting of suppliers at Huntly. Tho speaker said that he believed that tho prospects for the dairying industry in New Zealand wei-e all right, so long as the quality was maintained. There xvould be increasing competition from Siberia and the Argentine, but the New Zealand producer could find new markets in the blast and in the United States in spite of the high tariff of 4d per lb. imposed by the latter country. What a Wellington schoolmaster describes as the most extraordinary case of its kind which has ever come under his notice was before tho Wellington Rugby Union last night. It appeared that the discovery had been made that a boy playing in a sixth grade team had been found to be over age. Tho father of the boy had sworn that his son was not over age. the mother had offered to produce the family Bible to prove it, and the school register showed the same result. Yet the registrar of births was positive that the records proved the boy to be about a year older than his parents considered lie was.
