The company then paraded under Captain Jones for the presentation ut stars and badges won during the year. In the absence of the Commissioner, tho vicar of Bulls presented the captain’s star, and stated that it was pleasing to note that almost all the Guides present had been in the company since the inception. The girls had shown loyalty to the ideals of guiding and had attended their meetings regularly. Captain Jones presented the badges and stars to the Guides and on behalf of the Guides, Lieutenant Kemp presented Airs Jones with a tea-tray in recognition of her services for the troop, and Vera and Afur cl Jones were given an autograph album and purse respectively.

Then followed the supper and a beautiful two-tier birthday ca-.e, adorned wit.h two kewpies and two red candles was lit by the two youngest Guides, Alaisie Keats and Vera Jones.

Hart, a well-known blacksmith of Bulls, had diroppcd dead at Flock House while engaged at his usual duties as farrier. The late Air Hart had been in business for some years in Bulls and latterly had been employed by Air W. Kearney. He was very popular throughout the district and a large number of friends will feel the deepest of sympathy with his Wittow and family. THE PICTURES The picture tells the story of Willie who works in a garage and invents a magnetic bumper to save auto tires from tacks and nails in the roadways. Willie finally rebels against the hardboiled garage owner, dresses up in hrs white pants, and hies himself to Cold Springs, a fashionable summer resort where he knows the girl of his dreams is stopping with her father. Upon arrival Willie is mistaken for a crack polo player, and is forced to enter a championship match . The embryonic polo player comes through with flying colours after a series of hilarious events. He wins the girl and also the support of lier father, an automobile magnate, who becomes interested in Willie's invention. “White Pants Willie” will be screened at Bulls tonight. To-day’s Teams.
