The motor 'buses now running at Hastings are said to be a great success

Saturday evening, at 8 o'clock, in the Oddfellows' Hall, Levin the Horowhenua Fruitgrowers' Association will hold its annual meting. It is hoped that a little more interest will 'bat! shown in the association's proceedings by the rank and tile of its members. In recent months the burden of direction and the duty of discussion has been left to just a few amongst the association's fairly numerous membership.

It is announced that Mr A. G. Vanderbilt, America's sporting millionaire, has decided to sever finally his connection with America and to take up his residence in England per manently. His important estate there will he sold, and already notices have been given to the servants to terminate their engagements. All the beet of his horses will he transferred to England, while the remainder will bo sold.

In another part of our issue will be found the full programme for the concert to he held this evening on behalf of Miss Petersen. Apart from the merit of the programme, the point to remember is that it is an effort to assist a Xew Zealand girl of exceptional talent to produce the advantage of a thorough musical training. Given that, there is reason to hope that Miss Petersen may become one of the world's artists. This will not he forgotten, and acting on the principal that the many can help the one, the Levin public should crowd the Century Hall tin's evening.

A pleasant moniento oi' his dissociation with the old 57th Regiment, of which he was a sergeant when it was stationed in Aden 35 years ago, lias been received by !M'.r John Fitzgerald, of Linton street (says the Manawatu Standard). The favo.ir is in the form of a Christmas card, containing photographs of the regiment, and it was forwarded to Sergt. Fitzgerald by his old commandant. Lord Sinclair. Tt is worthy of note that there are now only five sur vivors of the old regiment.

A curious device is resorted to by Dutch lishermen in order to attract their victims. A bright-coloured irlass bottle is filled with earth and worms, and sealed in such a wav that only a little water can enter, tied to a string, and thrown into th * water. The glistening "bottle, thrown hither and thither by the

current of the water attracts *i swarm of fishes, whose curiosity anl greed are excited hy the wriggling worms in the hottle to such an extent that they fall easy victims to the bait at the find of the line now thrown out by the. wily fishermen.

A gentleman qualified to speak with some degree of authority on the matter told a Southland News reporter that there were abundant evidences of a great wheat shortage in New Zealand this year. He was forcibly struck with the small quantities being handled on the railway, and gave it as his opinion that millers were stocking very heavily against the poor prospects of next season's supply. The Canterbury crops were thin and weather-batter-ed, and their productions would all a long away "behind the u«nal There was every indication that flour would go up to n very advanced price hefore manv months had passed.

A .Maori gentleman of somewhat aristocratic appearance and who claims relationship with the Maori "Royal Family," was the subject oi soino interest at the Kihikihi race?. The AVaikato Times states that his get-up was at once imposing and grotesque. He wore a frock coat, and top hat, no vest, and a dazzling pink shirt. No collar adorned h ; s neck, and attached to his collar band was a spotted blue tie of no plain design. His nether garments consisted of a pair of riding breeches over the bottoms of which were pullet! a pair of startling socks, held in position by a pair of ml suspenders. Truly a wonderful sight.

That the dairy farmer in this district is sharing in the prosperity enjoyed by his conferences in the ■North island is evident from the big increases in the quantity oi butter made here and exported (says the Oamaru Mail). The Taieri and Peninsula Company, as we showed on Tuesday, has had a record year, and the "Waitakl Dairy Company lias increased its output as compared with last year, as the following fig tires show:—ln October, 1911, 6800 lbs of butter of a value oi" £310 wore sent out of the factory; the following month the amount was 13,000 lbs, valued at £050. In October. 1912, the output was 44,9001n5, valued at £2245, and during last month this increased to G7,3001b5. worth £3365. So that, besides tho increment from the Taieri and Peninsula Company, farmers are receiving an additional sum of about .-£3OOO a month from the Waitaki Company. Dairying has been a valuaole industry to the district this season. As proof that wo can turn out an article of excellent quality, there is no need to look further than the fact that the Tvaftaki Company's first shipment Home by the Arawa realised the top price for butter by that boat.

Five thousand young men in the Phillipines, making £400 n year or more, are, in need of wives, says the New York Herald. One of them has written to Dr. W. P. Cutler, State Food and Dairy Commissioner of Missouri, asking him if he can be of any assistance in telling Missouri girls of the opportunity open to thorn. 'Hie writer says:—"There are at least 5000 young men over hero employed by the Government in the Customs and Internal Rev emu Service and other branches, and all of us are getting salaries of not less than £400 & yeap. Nw, the trouble, is most American women over here are married. Ido not want my name published, but you may give it to any young woman who desires to correspond with a view to matrimony, I enclose you a few views of the country, and you can Kend them to'whom you choose, and they can see for themselves what kind of a place it is.*.'
