Referring tmmethods of financing parochial needs, Archdeacon Cowie stated at a meeting of vestrymen in Te Kuiti that they had once tried to get the parishioners of his parish to donate 2J per cent, of their income to church funds.

Farmers have no income.” An excellent bargain in working trousers is offered at Bryant- and Co.’s. In a heavy quality dark grey saddle tweed, these trousers are only 19s 6d a pair.* Mr W. S.
