Owing to the heavy rainfall last Saturday local sporting events amt the representative football, hockey and basketball matches betAveen Wailii and Thames (at Thames) had to be postponed. “The Flag Lieutenant,” now slioaving at the Academy Theatre, can claim to rank amongst the best talkie pictures that have reached the Doininion. Patrons cannot fail to appreciate the theme, the artists and the scenes typical of the British Navy. Dairy farmers need scarcely be reminded that hoav is the time to lanceolate their coavs to combat mam mitis. Innoculation costs but Is Cd per head and farmers should see Mr otto RjerHng, the local agent, or communicate with (lie Nbav Zealand Veterinary Supplies Gopipapy, Ward Street, Hamilton. A Christchurch business map, Mr Walter Baker, has returned to New Zealand with a great admiration for the English attitude towards the depression. “They don’t talk of it, and they rather look at you if you do,” lie said. “The result Is that the slump is definitely over in England. The country is on Its feet again, and manufacturers are all Avorking hard

"There is no depression in Sy ney,” said Miss Nellie Scanlan, Y New Zealand novelist and journalist, who returned to Wellington from Australia last week. "There was a depression last year; or was it the year before; anyhow, it was some time in the past, something to be remembered like a ghost of tho P>g' i( before.” Generally speaking, tilings in Australia were very bright, and the people were very optimistic ana charming. Waihi shopkeepers were warned last week that spurious florins were being circulated at Tauranga, but so far the counterfeit coins do not appear to have found their way here. They are, however, reported to have been passed over thp counter at Thames and In different parts of the Waikato district, ' Matamata tradespeople having received spurious half-crowns, florins and threepenny-pieces. All are said to bo good imitations, thought to an expert the colour js different and the lettering slightly thicker Gray on the genuine coins. Speaking at a luncheon at Wellington Mr L. A. Paish, British Commissioner, said that during his recent visit to England he inspected a number of factories, and, from what ho saw, there was nothing much to fear in competition with most parts of (ho world. Eow wages ip spine comil rios might make it difficult at present, hut there should be np doubt'entertained as to England maintaining the position she had held for so long. M> Paish also said that the working conditions in tile factories he visited were excellent, most large concerns having their own canteen, am! in country districts sports grounds were provided. "I have considered it my duty to bo somewhat aggressive this year in trying to drive homo the need for more complete organisation of the dairy industry, so that persistent weaknesses in quality will he remedied,” said Mr F. H. Andei'fiQu, chairman of directors, at the annual meeting of the Cambridge Co-operative Dairy Company, the other day. Mr Anderson asserted there was too much politics behind the Agricultural Department, and the Industry must be allowed a greater measure of selfgovernment through the Dairy Produce Board. It might be replied that there was too much politics behind the Dairy Board, but two wrongs did not make a right.

The rainfall in Wailii between Friday last and Monday totalled 4.G0 inches. Between Saturday and Sunday mornings the fall was 2.18 inches. Miss E. M. Taylor, of “The Beehive, Seddon Street, announces in a replace advertisement that she has secured the Waihi agency for the New Zealand Cutters’ Academy tailor-cut paper patterns and for home dressmakers. These patterns are unsurpassed, are reliable in fit and style and are cut in all sizes. Speaking at Sydney, Mr John Brownlee, the well-known singer, said he visited betweeu 40 and 50 schools in New Zealand, where he found that much time was being devoted to the production of light operas, and to the rehearsing of partsongs. “I wish more could be done in our schools toAvards the appreciation of music,” he added. In the last tAvo years the United Kingdom has received far more migrants than it has sent abroad. Last year the number of British emigrants who left the United Kingdom to take up permanent residence abroad was only 27,000. The number of people who entered the country Avas 75,000. It is also notable that among the immigrants Avas a very large number of persons oA'er 30, these accounting for over half the total.

Speaking of the infallibility of fingerprint evidence as a means of detection of crime, Mr W. F Lascelles stated in Christchurch t at one anthropologist, interested in this phase of science, in 1857, took his OAvn palm prints. In 1897 be took his prints again and found no alteration in the lines after 41 years. Even if a person lost the tip of his finger, the neAV tip, so far as it grows, develops the same pattern. Brothers, especially tAvins, Avere known to have fingerprints with resemblance. The folloAving is the draw for the qualifying round to be played by ■ members of the Waihi Ladies' Golf Club to-morroAV (Wednesday): Mrs Whitehead plays Miss Goodridge, Mrs V. Clark plays Mrs GreeiiAvood, Mrs Westbury plays Mrs Payze, Mrs Rogers plays Miss Fisk, Mrs Hetheringlon plays Mrs Johnson, Miss M. Roberts plays Mrs Mitchell, Mrs Cornthwaite plays Mrs E. Clark, Mrs FalUvell plays Miss Gilmour, Mrs Pringle plays Mrs Talbot, Mrs Watters plays Miss McDermott and Mrs McDermott plays Mrs Carter. The following team will represent the Thames Valley Rugby Union in the match against Waikato at Te Aroha on Saturday next: D. Leece (Te Aroha), Glyon (Paeroa), J. Williams (Hauraki Plains), L. Burgess (Te Aroha), B. Peake (Te Aroha), C. Ryan (Paeroa). Stervart (Te Aroha), R. Radford (Waihi), R. Mathers (Waihi), A. Pilkington (Te Aroha), P. MulgreAV (Te Aroha), J.

The Waihi players Avill leave at 1.15 p.m. The complaint of headmasters of Nerv Plymouth primary schools that the rationing of teachers Avas having a serious detrimental effect on children Avas discussed by the Taranaki Education Board last Aveek-end. The chairman, Mr S. G. Smith, M.P., said that if the department avouUl alloAv the board freedom to expend the. amount of salaries hoav paid it could provide full-time employment for all the unemployed teachers in Taranaki, numbering about SO. Although the present rationer teachers’ salaries would possibly he only £6O to £7O a year, they Avould gain by receiving continuous experience. The department is to be approached on these lines. An entertainment out of the ordinary will be offered to patrons on Thursday night next at the Academy Theatre when the Waihi Nigger Minstrel Troupe Avill present a varied programme on the lines of the oldtime minstrel companies. A chosen company has been practising for several \veeks and nothing has been left undone in th.e effort tp produce a Avell-balanced entertainment. Many beautiful plantation melodic will be harmonised by the company, the soloists have been specially selected, the corner-men are all old hands at the game and the instrumentalists are all picked artists. In addition, the sketches are said to be screamingly funny. Judging by the sale of reserves to date, a capacity house is to be expected.
