In the unavoidable absence of the president, Mrs. Marumaru presided. A very interesting talk on first aid and nursing was given by Mrs. C. Hammond, of Marton, for which she i was accorded a very hearty vote of thanks. The bring-and-buy stall proved very popular, and the competition for the afternoon was won by Miss Glasgow (Turakina). It was decided to hold a social evening, with cards and dancing, on August 3. and members are asked to bring their friends. The next monthly meeting will be the first birthday of the Bulls branch, and will take the form of a social afternoon. OBITUARY. Interment took place at Clifton cemetery, Bulls, yesterday afternoon, of the mortal remains of another pioneer of Rangitikei, Mr. James Balls. I’he late Mr. Balls was born in Islington, England, 87 years ago, and came to New Zealand in 1878 in the ship “Conflict.” A builder by trade, he was employed by the late Mr. James Bull, and afterwards by the late Sir James Wilson. He left. Bulls about eight years ago. and resided with his only daughter, Mrs. G. H. Hathaway, in Wellington until his death. His wife predeceased him some 20 years ago. and there was only one child of the marriage. The late Mr. Balls was one of the finest game shots in the Dominion, and he always carried a singlebarrelled gun, declaring that if he could not get a bird with one shot, the

bird deserved to get away. He was always proud of the fact that he taught Mr. Charlie Chavannes, the manytimes New Zealand champion, how to shoot. He took a keen interest in all kinds of sport, and was very popular with old identities in Rangitikei. THE PICTURES. ‘‘The Painted Desert,” a wonderful Western picture feturing William Farnum and Helen Twelvetrees, will be shown at the Town Hall on Saturday evening. This Pathe production is said to be one of the most spectacular and nerve-tingling melodramas ever shown as a talkie. PIERROT ENTERTAINMENT. A final reminder is given of the grand pierrot entertainment by the Marton Merrymakers in the Bulls Town Hall this evening, in aid of the Bulls School and the Marton District Dental Clinic. At the conclusion of the concert a dance will be held, the price of admission being one shilling.
