The Petone Railway Workshops was tho scene of two presentations yesterday. Tho first was to Mr. J. Arrowsmith, who is retiring from tho Government Service on superannuation after 29 years' service;' Mr. R. Kirk, ncting-foreman, on behalf of t!i.e recipient's fellow-work-men, presented Mr. Arrowsmith with a silver-mounted umbrella and travelling ' bag for his wife. In making the presentation, the" speaker mentioned tho good-will and 03teeni in which Mr. Arrowsmith was held, and his long and faithful service-to .the Department. Mr. Arrowsmith-suitably replied. Tho second presentation was to Mr. J. Cairns, of the fitting shop, who is leaving the service to bettor his position. Sir. T. Iloljjs. chairman of the Department, presented the guest with a travelling bag. and amethyst and pearl -pendant .for his wife. Mr. Cairns, in thanking his' fellowworkers for their kindly recognition, said that lie had done faithful service, but promotion liad not come, and though he had no alternative but to accept the/ lucrative offer made him by r private finm in. leaving tho'Department, he was sacrificing superannuation and other benefits. The steady flow of men from the. railway'"shops was a. very serious loss to the Department, and tho Minister would bo well-advised to listen to the men's representations, and give better wages and conditions, which would induce men to remain in the service.

It is merely repeating a fact which every experienced Shipowner knows to be true, to say that tick and other kinds of parasitic filth result in the loss of thousands of pounds yearly. But this deplorable wastage—su/ely it is avoidable? It is. The remedy is QUIBELL'S LIQUID DIP, as is proved by R. Bevan, of Manakau, who w.rites:—"l am moro than pleased with the Quibeli's Dip that you sent mi?. I dipped four hundred lambs, and I reckon it has put at least 2s, per liead on them. I inspected them carefully after dipping, and could not find one tick alive." Fortunately, Dalgety and Co., Ltd., have just landed large supplies of ' this unsurpassable Liquid Dip. For Off-shears and' Lambdipping it is paramount as a vermin killer. But it is even more than an excellent parasite eradicator. Besides preventing monoy-wastage for the Sheepowner, it makes money for him as well, because it promotes a healthy growth, and improves the quality of the wool.
