It required some vision, to insist that there could tie produced m. Seddon Square a shelter for gas rings which while being a great utility would not detract from the beauty of the surroundings. Now that the little latticed pergola-shaped shelter is completed it settles at once the question for iit commends itself as an addition quite in keeping with the beauty of the spot. That it is going to be a greater boon than was expected became at once apparent as the gas operator was not out of sight after completing the connection before Christchurch' motoring visitors were happily preparing afternoon picnic tea and local ladies .settling down to watch a billy boil. The visitors were loud in commendation of this thought for the public. Boys Khaki Drill Varsity Tops, heavy quality ail sizes, great value 4/6 each only at Graham and Clear, Limited.

The startling ainomaiy that the total area held as farm land in Waimate is larger than the total area of the County is disclosed in the latest volume of the Census and Statistics Office. The anomaly is easily explained: Where holdings are situated in two or more counties, the practice is to return the holding in the county in which the homestead is situated. Six other counties in New Zealand are similiarly affected.

The details of his calls were handed to the bureau with a statement of the time at his disposal and he was given a list of times and places with tickets and coupons for train, motor and hotels. These were so splendidly thought out as to make possible the whole of what was planned in the time allowed. He found himself everywhere expected and provided for by advance telegrams and experienced the utmost courtesy throughout. The charge for the Government Bureau service is nil.

Special sale of Millinery, at “The Farmers.” Substantial reductions. One week only. The New Year resolution habit is always in operation at this season and we all like to tell the other chap what leaf to turn over. A local celebrity asked his son what leaf he proposed to turn over and the lad replied, “I’d as lief leave the leaf right where the leaf was left’ and the old man is still puzzling it out. A heavy smoker quizzed his wife as to what leaf she thought of having a go at and got it in the neck when she promptly and pointedly informed him that she had her eye on the tobacco leaf. Yes, we all know of some thing to suggest to the other fellow and there is only one matter we are unanimous about and that is that on January Ist. we supply our cream to the Taieri and Peninsuly Co., the big-price-and-bon-the business and deserves to handle us paying concern which pioneered our butter-fat....
