A BATTLE ROYAL FOE A QUEENLY CROWN. A HOT, JOYOUS CONTEST. WHO WILL BE QUEEN OF THE CARNIVAL P ALL WELLINGTON PLEADS, FIGHTS, JOKES FOE VOTES. Wellington is going to give <£55,555 to help our wounded "Boys" and their dependents. This is practical patriotism; quit waving little flags. Say, don't-let the amount scare you; Christchurch gave as much—almost; wo can get. it—if you'll help. This is how it is done. Good morning, Mr. Millionaire, could you oblige me with "tuppence," please; thank you. This ticket entitles you to the honour of voting for My Queen—pardon—Our Queen—one vote only. For a man of your standing, one vote is quite impossible, so I will just hand you this book of tickets, votes, I mean, and—yes, from you—a cheque will do quite well. Thank YOU. Isn't it marvellous the power of "tuppence." AH jokes aside; when our wounded bora come back, are we ready to receive them? * Are we well prepared to help tliem and their dependents?
