Thoughts For The Times.

Capital and Labor. Capitalism, i.e., the sovereignty of industry, its cpptrol and direction, from its finanpiai he a,cl, is to be judged not by past performances, but by its ability to meet present-day world needs. Quite frankly capitalism, like all other isms, needs to do some accurate thinking. Labour as a governing political force may be out in the cold at present. To keep it there something far more than a coalition of interests is necessary. The faith of men must be upheld. Labour, it is true, is often self-seeking. It is also idealistic, and has a moral impetus and attractive power. Capital, too, is self-seeking. It also must serve an idealistic purpose. To speak of socialism ais jsometbing for nothing, prompts an obvious retort. In fact, in a live society, capitalism can only'' obtain on a basis which recognises service as the only title to reward and return.—English critic on Socialism.

A pressing invitation to all bachelors whether, bandsome, Wealthy or —Advt. A Very pretty wedding was solemnised in All Saint’s Church, Hokitika on Monday by the Rev.; Dr. Holloway when Miss Ethel Sponheimer, youngest daughter of Mr and Mrs Sponheimer Jollie Street, Hokitika, was married to Mr George Fairweather of Christchurch. The bride who entered the church on the arm of her father, looked charming in a dress of white crepe de ohene. She also wore the orthodox wreath and veil and carried a shower bouquet of white camelias and maidenhair fern. She was attended by her sister, Miss Tereases Sponheimer, as bridesmaid, who wore a dress of cream erepode marie, with hat to match and carried a bouquet of pink rose buds and maiden.hair fern, while Mr R. W. Fairweather, of Christchurch,, brother of the bridegroom ably carried out the duties of best man. After the wedding ceremony the party adjourned to , the residence of the bride’s parents where a sumptuous breakfast was partaken ol and the usual toasts duly honored. Mr and Mrs Fairweather afterwards left by the evening train for Greymouth en route to Christchurch and Dannevirke. The bride travelled in navy tailored costume and hat to match. The numerous presents showed the esteem in which the young couple were held. Compare CLINCHER CROSS * MOTOR CAR TYRES with any other make. Best of all tests, on any, roads.

Ceremilk does not cause scouring or other internal complaints. It is made from the purest ingredients, properly proportioned to the needs of young animals. Calves like Ceremilk, and its use results in the steady growth of vigorous well-formed stock. Here is a typical testimonal to the value of Ceremilk from Mr Johnston, ef Outram:—“l have used Ceremilk now for two years, and find it very economical. The calves like and relish it, and certainly thrive on it. I find it very easy to prepare, and as long as I rear calves I shall continue using Ceremilk.” There are many farmers of the same opinion as Mr Johnston: they know how valuable Ceremilk is, and how it helps young stock.
