Paying a tribute to Sir Charles Statham, an old boy of the school, at the Otago High School break-up yesterday, the Governor-General (Lord Bledisloe) said there was no man in any part of the British Empire, including the Old Country, occupying the extremely difficult and delicate position of Chairman of the House who carried out his duty with greater dignity and with greater efficiency than did Sir Charles. —(P.A.)

Great Britain is now practically our only remaining market for butter. In five years she took £81,000,000 more of our products than we did of hers. It is up to every dairy farmer in New Zealand to-day to buy British goods. The latest model British Lister cream separator has no superior in clean skimming, sturdiness and simplicity of construction, long life and down-right value for money. Tried and tested by the N.Z. Co-op. Dairy Co., Ltd., it has been recommended unconditionally by the company to its 9000 supplies. Lister separators are obtainable from H. R. Ellis, Box 44, Carterton.
