Cobbe) told the Christchurch Bovs’ High School cadets during his inspection on Wednesday. “I do not know if he was skipper of your football team,” added the Minister, “but he is now captain of another much more important team. I am afraid that some members of that team sometimes fumble with the ball, and he can no longer tackle them low and bring them down. But he can always use moral suasion.” Indigestion.—When you feel that your digestive organs are not working properly, if you suffer from severe pains, wind or fullness after eating, o i acidity of the stomach, take Ayres*' Indigestion Remedy, and enjoy quick relief.

It is reported by a shipping firm that in the last month or two America has been placing orders in New Zea- ! land for consignments of cheese, and one ship that left the Dominion recently carried 500 tons of cheese for the States. The sudden demand for cheese was rather baffling at first, but a feasible explanation has now been suggested. It is that since America gave up Prohibition extra supplies of cheese are now wanted to serve with ales and spirits. “There is evidence on all hands that the people of New Zealand have just about reached the end of their tether with departmental and Government interference in business,” said Mr R.

A speaker at a Dairy Board election meeting at New Plymouth suggested as a means of overcoming the quota, that the moisture content of butter exported from New Zealand should be reduced, say, 6 per cent, and that the butter should be reworked on arrival in England, the 6 per cent, of water added and the butter made up into pats for putting on the market. The candidate (Mr H. E. Blyde) agreed that the proposal to pat the butter was well worth considering, reports a Taranaki exchange, as indeed every avenue should be exhaustively explored by the Dairy Produce Board, which should be able to say whether the schemes were feasible or not. He did not think, however, that the proposal would affect the quota. Another speaker remarked that if 6 per cent, less water were incorporated as suggested, it would mean much less freight and insurance to pay.

The last major constructional task at Arpuni, on completion of which the works will be handed over to the supervision of a skeleton staff, is now drawing to an end. The operations are invisible to the stranger at the hydroelectric works, for they are proceeding over 150 feet underground. There, where electric searchlights pierce the gloom, men are working day and night installing the gigantic new sluice gate in the diversion tunnel. It is the most heavily loaded sluice gate in the world, and weighs 89 tons. A rectangular hole in the ground, a few yards from the dam over the Waikato River, marks the spot where the work is being done. If a person fell into the hole he would drop like a stone down an immense concrete-lined shaft for 150 feet, passing through a hole in the ceiling of the diversion tunnel, until he struck the concrete tunnel bed. This shaft can be negotiated by using a steel ladder, containing some 174 rungs—a perilous descent to all but born steeplejacks.
