How one season ticket was said to have been used by a party of men to obtain admission to football matches was described at Southend, When two men, John Oakley Baker and Frank Maynard, v/cre charged with obtaining credit far a shilling by fraud from Southend United Football Club. A solicitar explained that one season ticket was used by a parly, the first of whom went into the ground with it.

The occusion of the charge was a match between Southend and Gillingham on Oelober 29. A police witness said Baker told him that that wa» the third time on which the rus e had been worked. Both men were sent for trial. AN ELOPING PASTOR. Although Rev. W. W. Culp, tempor- • ary pastor of the Spring Valley Church, ■Ohio, U.S.A., deserted his wife and nine children and ran away with Miss Esther Hughes, 19-year-old music teacher, and a boarder at the Culp home, and is now under arrest at Port Huron, Mich., Mrs Culp will receive him with open arms if he will come back. n In the midst of packing the meagre family belongings preparatory to a return to her home at Wakarusa, Ind., Mrs Culp paused to affirm that she’d stay in Spring Valley and take her husband hack if he would “give up Lhc girl and act as a father should. Meanwhile, local authorities were preparing to go to Port Huron and bring Culp back to Xenia to answer a charge of desertion and from the goal at Port Huron the eloping pastor was quoting as saying he “would rather remain behind the prison bars than return to my wife.” He was “tired of supporting a large family on 1200 dollars a year,” he said. Culp and Miss Hughes were arrested near the Michigan city.

AN EXPIRING RACE. Viscount Novar, of Keith, a former Governor-General of Australia, speaking at the showyard lunch of the Fifeshire Agricultural Society recently, declared that landowners were an expiring race. The unfair and unendurable pressure of public burdens, he said, was bringing their old and tried land system to an end. They would soon revert to a pastoral age, tempered by the Board of Agriculture /and its smallholders, if the nation could afford to finance them. The next best thing to do was to federate amongst themselves, l'or owner, occupier, and farm serVant were all in the one crazy boat. It was upon the new occupying owner, whose position was rendered less precarious under the bare justice given in the Budget, that the future of agriculture depended, as nothing could avert the dispersion of large estates, the process whereby agriculture was relieved of super-tax and death duty. So long as the Government retained superfluous Departments, with staffs innumerable, taxation would remain excessive. GIVE CHILDREN PULMONAS, At the first sign of a child’s cough get a box of Pulmonas. A child’s delicate lungs are very easily injured through coughing, but Pulmonas will bring almost immediate relief. As the pastilles are sucked they give off medical vapours which penetrate the air passages and by their tonic action iical the inflamed membranes. Pulmonas are pleasant to the taste and are much easier to give to children than unpalatable liquids. One at bedtime ensures freedom from night coughing! Keep a box in the house always.

Mr T. E. Tonevcliffe, of Gisborne, who' is at present on a visit to llie Old Country, makes some interesting remarks respecting New Zealand meat in the course of a recent letter. He writes: —"I was round at the Langham Hotel one morning and saw several carcases of New Zealand lamb being delivered, and caught sight of Gisborne, so I asked [lie van'man to give me the enclosed Lag. The Langham is a high-class hotel, and il is more than likely the humble lamb from Gisborne would be dished up as best English. No attempt seems to be made |.o thaw the meat before delivery. The carcase I have mentioned was frozen hard. I also saw a lot of Smilhfleld being delivered as hard ns when in the freezing chamber.” Hoarseness, sore throats, and chest (roubles are promptly relieved by
