The money is to be used for equipping and extending the Women’s Ward accomodation. The donor has always taken a warm interest in the welfare of the sick and suffering, both in and out of th e institutions. She donated the Chalmers' Ward to the Christchurch Hospital, says a. Press message from Ashburton to-day. The funds administer by the National War Funds Council'under the provisions of the War Funds Act, 1905, have received a welcome addition under the will of the late Sarah Mary Brock, who died at Wellington on the 27 th June, 1922.

It is an ill wind which blows no one any good. When the Wiltshire went down she took with her the steel bars ordered for the roof construction of the Vacum Oil Company’s new building near the Victoria wharf. To avoid the delay entailed by placing a fresh order in England, the management patronised local industry, and the bars are being turned <>ut at Burnside by the Otago Rolling Mills. Local stocks have proved equal to the demand on them for the big supplies of roofing iron required for this building, says the Star. Lectures in dairying by Government experts are to be given in Waimate district shortly. Mr Ross, who is the Government dairy instructor for Otago, and Mr Ward, agricultural instructor, expect to be in Waimate in about a fortnight, when lectures will be given in the different centres. Country residents interested are advised to watch for the dates of these lectures, which will be adin the Daily Advertiser. Be sure you replenish your stock of Fishing Tackle and Cigarettes before boater-motoring on the river. Full stocks at Walker’s... The “ happy ” germ propagated by community singing is having its influence on the Christchurch populace. The milkmap now poilrs out our modest two pints to the tune of “ Put More Water with it, Boys,” while the coalman dumps in our two sacks of Avoca to the strains of “Keep the Home Fires Burning.” Father goes off to his office chanting lugubriously, “ Life is Full of Care and Pain,” and Mary Ann in the kitchen cheerfully breaks our last remaining vegetable dish to the accompaniment of “Ain’t we got Fun?” —“Spindrift” in the Christchurch Star. “We are undoubtedly short of clergy,” remarked the Rev H. J. L. Goldthorpe at the meeting of the Wellington Anglican Diocesan Synod. “ There has been a falling-off in the number of men offering for Holy Orders from the Anglican Communion,, and there is not much prospect of that petition improving.” Perhaps the reason for the state of affairs complained of by Mr Goldthorpe is to be found in the statement of another member of Synod (Mr R. L. Button) at a later stage of the day, that the prospects ahead of clergy on their retirement are so poor that parents did not encourage their sons to take up the Church as a career.—“ Evening Post.” Some strange friendships have been known in the animal world. An interesting example of this has been noted in a paddock in Waimate, where a horse and a gander appear to have found something in common. Horse and gander have been seen walking together slowly round the paddock. Now and then the pair would stop, and the gander look up into the face of his equine friend, whose head would be bent down toward him, the attitude of the pair being quite a conversational one.

Inexpensive and efficien* According to the adverse criticism which is levelled against the Arbitration Court every day, it would seem that this institution i s becoming more and more a sort of “Aunt Sally,” at which both employers and the workers laike . may fling their gibes. The unpopularity of the Arbitration Court was again instanced at the committee meeting of •k e A. and P. Association, on Saturday, when a member (Mr E. C. Studholme) suggested “that the Court snould make its awards more intelligible, so that they could be understood by every man with ordinary intelligence. As the awards were now, the speaker added, he doubted very much if the Court understood them themselves., I

Mr George Reid, a prominent Eng. lish billiard enthusiast, says of match between Reece and M’Conoeh in the first heat of the English chan, pionship:—“A brand new table is j. variably on the slow side for a fe» days, and this does not lend itself to the exploitation of the losing h 5 2. ard, M’Conachy’s principal asset Nor are matters improved by one being compelled to use a. new set of balls, more particularly when one has had insufficient experience of ivory as a playing medium. Oven longer course M’Conochy would have caused Reece a great deal more tron. ble, and probably have beaten him; but, as it was, he had only mastered the difficulties referred to when th game was practically over. I think we should give them j little more to do than last year,” marked Mr P. Hunter, when discussing the gorse cutting competition in connexion with the ploughing match “Some of them had their tongues hanging out even then,” said Mr R Sinclair. “There’s one thing we must decide,’’ Mr J. C. Hay added: “ Are we going to have coulter ent or straight dowh?” “I thing it will be “ cut as you please,” said Jfr A. Brown, amid laughter. A Lost ad. in the Advertiser will <ind the article for von .. « A Palmerston North Press Association message states that the inf ant daughter, two years old, the youngest of a family of three, oi Mr nnd Mrs A. Sullivan. Limbrick Street, Terrace Bad, wandered away from home at ten o’clock on Friday morning. The father searched vainly in the neighbourhood and acquainted the pohee, who joined with private parties in a search all day, and af night. Intimations of the occurrence were flashed on the screens at the picture shows. An exhaustive search was continued on Saturday In the afternoon tdie child’s body was found in a six foot drain in a paddock a mile from home. The drain contained seven inches of water, and the medical evidence is that the child was drowned. It. is surmised that the child fell into the death trap on Friday.

More praise for Joe Kirkwood, The golfing expert of “ The Times ” says: “ I cannot say that I greatly enjoyed Kirkwood. He is not a stylish, and his flat swing and curious ducking movement of body are not engaging. But about his meriis as an efficient golfer there can be no two opinions. He is accurate with wooden clubs, but really comes into a kingdom of his own when within range of 30 yards or thereabouts of the hole. No man alive can so frequently boil down three shots into one. He is a perfect master of that partciular shot within distance of the green. Time and again he lays the ball within five feet of the hole, and down it goes at the next as sure as fate. He is a wonderful golfer, this Australian prodigy, and cannot l>e jjudged by any ordinary standard, representing a riddle 1 cannot solve.” The fall of Is per ease ex wharf in th e price of kerosene, the last «f a succession of reductions in this article, has some interest for the general public as well as for merchants, says the Dunedin Star. It appears that so far as kerosene is concerned anyone may .go on the market in America and purchase, dealings being jnst as free as if one were buying stocks and shared. The opportunity has been taken to bring kerosene to New Zealand by other than the usual channel, and in the matter of distribution also there has been a departure. Those behind the venture are selling direct to the storekeeper, while the well-esfablisb-ed company continues to make use of the wholesale mrehants in the proeess of distribution. The result of this challenge of a monopoly has been price-cutting, and the struggle is being watched with some curiosity ns to what its final upshot will be.

Rev. Batfes’ Weather Forecast. — Northerly winds, strong to gale, and veering by N. to W. The weather appears likely to be cloudy and unsettled wiht rain following. Barometer falling. Waimate during the week-en 4 experienced climatic conditions more akin to Europe in winter-time than to sunny South Canterbury. A dense fog descended on the town on Saturday afternoon, but before very late that night the fog had lifted sufficiently long for the moisture on the pavements to freeze. Then the fog descended again. Trees and shrubs appeared to be all in bloom on Sunday morning, every branch being hung with tiny icicles. Later on, when the thaw set in, churchgoers were astonished to note what, appeared to b e - numerous brief showers of hail, the drops of frozen moisture on the telegraph wires falling every now and again upon those who passed beneath. The following is the draw for the third round of the Bogey Handicap in connection with the Waimate Golf Club, to take place on Thursday, the 13th inst: —No. 1 Tee: Nash 16 v. Ollivier 8, Tweedy 9 v.

Craigie (Timaru), as to how much progress has 1 been made in coni tec thj’.’ with the establishment of a consumptive sanatorium for the South Island elicited from the Minister of Health a statement that a site has been acquired. The Minister explained that nine hospital boards and the Director-General of Health had made arrangements lor the purchase of a block of 1300 acres of lease-in-per-petuity at Waipiata, in Central Otago, at a cost o about £3500. A property offered by Dr Byers was considered, but the purchase price was too high. ■ However, the block acquired was almost next door and was equally suitable. The Government would now take council with the l Committee representing the hospital hoards regarding the erection of a building, the cost of the whole undertaking being borne equally by the board’s and the Government. It was pjoposed to advertise in Britain lor a specialist in sanatoi'ium treatment ol consumptives to take change of the new hospital. The improvement in the dairy produce market of late months is evidently resulting in greater interest in dairying. A well-known South Canterbury lane, agent, who visited IVatmate last week, states that dairy farms are a much better proposition on the market these days. Several transactions have taken place in South Canterbury of late. In this connexion, the views of a Waimate fanner are of interest. Conversing with an Advertiser representative on Saturday, he remarked his surprise at the readiness of a dairy; farmer to dispose of his interest. “ There may not be much in dairying,” he said, “ but, taken all the year round, it is going to be one of the most stable industries of the Dominion.” The Tarankai ’‘News” states'that at the present, which is the time of the year when dairy farms usually change hands, there is a decided improvement in the position obtaining two months ago, but there are no signs of a land boom.
