H. Allchurch and Co. will hold their first daily sale of fruit and produce at 10.30 a.m. today. Large quantities of strawberries are now arriving daily and now is the time to secure jam supplies.

An example of the consequences of such carelessness was heard by a member of Parliament when strolling through the building. "No, this is not the museum, but the Legislative Council," he heard a messenger retort In answer to a telephone call In that section of the building.

"To-day, gentlemen, we are in a world which changes most rapidly.” said Mr C. H.

The engineers from the very nature of their occupation are thinkers as well as workers. The world to-day is in need of those who by their training, can think clearly and logically, and no class of the community Is better fitted for clear and logical thinking than the engineers.” Souter’s Xmas Fair ot Footwear jomences to-day.
