HAWKE'S BAY A. AND P. SOCIETY

The annual report of the Hnwke's Bay A. and P. Societv states that the financiav membership for the past year was 1438. the highest yet roaolu'd, as ugainst 1381 for the previous year. This is considered highly satisfactory in view of the increased number of members at the wnr, whose names are retained on the register as lion, members. During the year a listi was compiled giving the names of farmers in the district who were not members of the society, and copies issued to the committee which resulted in a number of new members being proposed, the majority of which, were secured by Mr. J. It. t.uuauze. who ha 3 again earned the hearty I hanks of all supporters of the society, as it is fnllv realised that it is most important that the membership should be kept up in order to meet the losses incurred in connection with the shows.

The committee regret to record the deaths of the Hon. .T. D. Ormond and Mr. C. A. Fitzrov. both past presidents of the society, and Mr. G. ?. Donnelly, a member of committee. The deceased gentlemen were strong supporters of the societv.-and in tho early days took a verv active part in the management of its affairs. The late Mr. Ormond's stud draught horses and sheep have been for a great many years among the leading features of the show, and the breaking up of this stud will be a serious loss to the society.

During the year further members of the society have enlisted in the forces of the Dominion. Tho committee regret they have to record the death, in action, of Lieutenant, H. N T . Coleman, who resigned from Hie committee last year in order to enlist. A number of other members of the society and sons of membars have also « ven their lives for their country, and sympathy is extended to the relatives of those who hove fallen. In spite of the 'pring and autumn shows having been run at a loss of ,£231 and £2)0 reMieittivoly, the accounts show a profit of .£!)!if> ss. for the year.,

A GOLDEN RULE. KEEP SMILING, To be contented and keep smiling in the face of the world'* di'liciillies is not always easy to accomplish, but it can bo done it Ihe golden rules laid down by the "No Kubbing" Proprietory, Ltd., are observed. In fact, ilir.se who rigidly adhere to the. suggestion made as a guidance to frail humanity coon find themselves liffpd inln the cong3,iial slate if peace, love, and harmony. , The management has made a start in the world-lifting campaign by loimnenr,ing with the children, and so'has design; ed a "Golden Rule" school ruler, thinking it an excellent medium for leaching children lhal grand rule of life: "Do unto others as yom would (hey should do unto you." : Jn order lhal. ihwv rulers carrying the Golden Dole may he well distributed amongst the li'.'ie people, a shipment of 21,5t1l ha? just arrived, and no doubt they will, be quiA'ly absorbed by the schools. Then there is (he '"Thinker" school exercise book, which has already proved a mighty force, in focusing New Healandeis' utlenfon to the momentous matter of 'hinking, whilst in liiiriherunro of Ihe progressiva campaign the management has designed a beautiful picture depicting New*Zenlanders industriously lifting the world inlo peace, love, and harmony, with such splendid everyday levers as the "No "Rubbing'' Company's regis-te.'ed brands of Golden Rule Soap, Golden Jtule Candles, Golden Hide "Writing Table'..?, and Golden liiile .School Rulers.

The constaut use of all Ihese articles stimulates thinking on correct lines, and when people think—well, (here is no fear of the result. II was when the womenfolk began io think of how Monday, with its usual big wash, might be eon verted into a day of peace and pleasure that the response came in the fori'i of "No Rubbing" Laundry Help. Nothing belter has ever been produced in the direc'ion of lightening the binders or destroying the biMfbear of every woman than Hie "No Kiibbing Laundry Help" fnr washing day; whilst Ihe use (if "Keep Smiling Sand Soap" absolutely causes smiles, because women's work is lightened so much. The "No Rubbing" Laundry Help Proprietory has unquestionably conferred a oreut boon on humanity by introducing ills products, which were -so admirably set out at the Pahnerston North Winter Show;-(Published by Arrangement.)
