(From Our Own Cornwpond«»i ) MYSTERIOUS FIND. A peculiar find was made during the week-end about half a mile from the main highway on Epworth road. This consisted of a “plant” of about 30 loaves of bread, and it would seem that these had been placed there but a few hours before discovery. None of the Temuka bakers report having missed any bread.

Thirty guests were present when supper was served. Mr Clements extended felicitation, and asked Miss Gunnion to accept the useful gifts presented by guests.

“TELL IT TO SWEENEY.” TO-NIGHT. Beauty, as well as comedy, adorns the railway story "Tell it to Sweeney” which Is the attraction at Temuka tonight. Chester Conklin and George Baucroft make their debut as a Paramount comedy team in this highly diverting picture. Doris Hill has the leading feminine role, while handsome Jock Luden, who is one of Paramount's new western stars, is the clever juvenile. Doris and Jock carry the'romantic theme, while Conklin and Baucroft supply the comedy, of which there is no end. A splendid line of supporting pictures will also be screened.
