A well-known Mastcrton man, now in camp at Rangiotu, is causing tho offi- i oers of his platoon a good ueal of thought, says the "Daily Times." The soldier m question has an .exceptionally well-developed. figure, his girth mea- • surement being a pronounced feature.

Anyhow, the soldierV pliy- ■ sique it* a good advertisement for open-- ; air life in tha .Wairarana. '
