WAIRARAPA

The secretary of the Wairarapa School Committees' Association has received the following communication from the Hon. J. A. Hanau in reference to a resolution passed at a recent meeting urging the establishment of a high school with vocational courses:—"l desire to inform you that I am relinquishing the portfolio of Education. I am referring your communication to the Director of Education, with tho request that he bring your representations under the notice of my successor." The stewards of the Taratahi-Carterton Eacing Club have decided to alter the course in order to give a straight start in the six and seven furlongs races. So far 279 persons have signified their willingness to become members of tho proposed trotting club in Mnsterton. Yesterday morning William Dempster, an elderly man, was found dead in his bedroom at Mrs. Remington's boardinghouse Bannister Stat, Masterton. Tho I deceased,, who was a cook by trade, had not been well for some time, and at an inquest yesterday a verdict was returned that deceased had died from natural causes. The weather was inauspicious for the footbnll match at Masterton yesterday between the Wairarapa. representative junior team and a team of Wairarapa Maoris. Continuous rain made the handling of tho ball difficult, and forward play resulted in the Maoris having a great 'advantage by reason of their weight, and they won by. 37 points to nil. Tho gate proceeds go to the Wairarapa Fallen Soldiers' and Cameron Memorial Park Fund. , Mr. A. M'Kenzie, postmaster at Greytown, left yesterday for Eaetihi, where ho will take charge. Miss M'Kenzie, daughter of Mr. A. M'lConzie, has been transferred from the local branch of the Bank of New Zealand, to tho Eaetihi branch.

AVERT TRACTOR DOES MOBE WORK L<r LESS TIME. Just us prmperous city establishments now deliver unci receive their goods by motor-cars mid lorries, so on hundreds of prosperous farms tho Avery Tractor lias replaced horses, and is now doing more work U less time. The Avery carries on ploughing, discing, harrowing, rolling, drilling, and reaping on a more progressive and profitable basis—and us we have said before, it does work which horses cannot do. You .can use your Avery Tractor as a stationary power plant—it drives milking machines, lighting plants, circular sawn, thrashing machines. It runs on the cheapest fuelKerosene. It. costs less to ''feed" than its equivalent in horses, and it needs that "feed" only when, it works. The 8-16 h.p. Avery is a handy model. In the field it does the work of two fourliorso. teaniß ami two men. Yet a boy can drive it. Bear in mind also that the Avery Models are standardised. If by accident you should need u new part, you CAii ndfust it yourself. Put your farm on a bettor paying plan. Come for nil tho details now. Distributors for New Zealand: A. Hatrick and Co., I td..
