Some person j set fire to the heap, and the fumes j from the burning sulphur wer e blown ! over the adjacent kitchen garden, kill- I ing a bed of cabbages and cauliflowers j besides a quantity of peas, carrots and | silver beet. Some of the plants affect- j ed were nearly one hundred yards dis- • tant from the burning sulphur. | The search for wood as. a substitute for coal to keep the home fires burn- ' ing has taken many a family man and , ! thrifty housekeeper to the countryside and to the beaches (says an Auckland ! exchange). By the train that ran from the city to Swanson on Sunday quite a 1 small brigade of women armed with baskets not of the small mushroom gathering variety, but of the bulky order, arrived at the suburban station and later were seen busily picking from the roadside ti-tree and scrub which they broke into convenient sizes to fit the t capacity of their baskets. The incident aroused the curiosity of the re j sidents. On the beaches, particularly ( on tho Sabbath morn, father is seen very busy gathering driftwood’ that o comes in on the tide. Many an empty wood scuttle has been replenished with g good firing in this way. v Better crops when NORTH BRITISH p GARDEN HOSE is used.

At the .Trotting Association this week Mr. Kitcliingham moved that no programme for mixed galloping and trotting events' be passed unless the stakes given for each trotting event were equal to the average given for galloping events during the day; also that the clubs concerned be notified of the devision . —Carried. At Holy Trinity Church, Greymouth, yesterday, Miss Estrella R. Chamberlain (Ruru), and Mr Alfred Breckman, (Inehbonnie), were united in the bonds !of matrimony. The bride who was given away by lier eldest brother, looked 1 charming, and was attended by her sister Linda as bridesmaid,. Mr Scott, Rll- - was best man. After the cerej mony the young couple left by the j Otira express for Christchurch where I their honeymoon is to be spent, i The importance of aviation to a coun- ! try like New Zealand was pithily expressed by Sir Keith Smith, at the New Zealand’s Club luncheon. “If this country ever strikes trouble,” the Australian aviator said, “the first people you will have to go to will be the lair people, and if you haven’t got machines, and machines of the latest typo, and you run against a country that lias got them, you will get it in the | neck very suddenly.” Commercial flyi ing, he added would have to come, j and the people of the Dominion ought to back it up. For defence purposes j they must have machines and pilots i and flying necessitated constant prac- ; tice. i The Minister of Internal Affairs (Hon. G. J. Anderson) states that the , Government has decided to discontinue as from October 22nd, the existing permit system between New Zealand and Australia, only in so far as British subjects are concerned. The permit sys- | tern will be continued in respect of I aliens and naturalised British subjects. Its continuance in respect -of naturalised British subjects is necessary, as a- person naturalised in New Zealand would not be regarded in the Australian State? as a British subject unless his certificate of naturalisation had been, endorsed lin Australia. All persons leaving New Zealand before October 22nd will require to have permits. An increase of -Ji per cent, in the charge for cabled remittances on London has been made by the banks operating in New Zealand. The rate, therefore, is now 11, per cent. Some years ago it. was i per cent. Financial authorities an} somewhat at a loss to ' account for the increase in the charge (says the Auckland “Herald”), although it is regarded merely as a market fluctuation caused bv the trend of trade. New Zealand’s' imports this , year have been far in excess of the exports, consequently the funds held by the banks in London have been reduced. The recent cablegram from London stating that Australian banks there will not now negotiate drafts against shipments, except for their own customers, is considered to be an indication that the position in regard to Australian trade is more acute, and that consequently'the demand on the cash resources of the banks have been more severe.
