The time for Thomsons’ fine warm underwear, hosiery, ladies’, gentlemen’s, children’s, too—all bought and arranged on last year prices, before the advance in wool. A matter only of arrangement and have to protect our customers and selves, too. Flannels, blankets, tweeds, rugs and most woollens, same arrangements. Wool, fingerings, wheelings, another predominant thing—Roslyn, Kaiapoi, Timaru, Oamaru, etc. Thomson knows the brands and prices that suit their customers. Even wooilen dress materials and coatings thought it advisable to close with—quite good business we are finding it a strengthened advance in the raw material cannot well be helped. Last year’s price 5Sd to lOd. This year’s under the hammer lid to 1/3 or 1/6 for even every-day numbers needed

In view of the fact that the Bay Hall will not be available for the Horticultural Society’s Chrysanthemum Show, arrangements have been completed for the show to be held in the Wesley Hall in Church Street, on Friday and Saturday, May 4th and sth, and entries will close on May 3. With the chrysanthemum as the predominating bloom, this show is an unusually pretty one and it is hoped that, being in a hall near the main street, more of the public will be able to visit the show. With the Idea of popularising the vegetable sections, the Society is charging no entry fees in these classes.

On the suggestion of the GovernorGeneral .Lord Bledlsloe), the Wellington Competitions Society* inaugurated an original song competition.

This was a satisfactory way out of his difficulty, for naturally his Excellency has had the entry sent cn to the right quarter.

The Tinwald School is the first primary school in the Ashburton county to begin the issue of a supply of milk to pupils. The innovation was commenced on Monday morning, when all children up to Standard 11. received half a pint of milk for consumption. They will receive this issue daily, and will be weighed fortnightly. An appeal has been made to the parents of children, 20 per cent of the pupils attending the school being from the country, to give milk to be used at the school. Those children who cannot bring milk are charged one penny a week. It is hoped by this method to maintain an ample supply throughout the year.
