Thoughts For The Times

Credit for Capital. cli The real cause of the high prices has been the waste of capital, and the at- 5' tempt to make credit do instead of capital. To correct this capital must be restored to normal relations with industry and credit. The protest against high prices is simply the instinctive, but p futile protest against the grim neces- b si.ty of saving to make good the expen- cditure upon the war. Of course the cost falls upon consumers at. last, but was anything ever saved except at the <r expense of consumption.—American banking

A lively buckjumper In a cirCus at | Lyttelton proved too much for a young man named Hanay Colder on Monday night. He was thrown violently, and sustained a fractured leg. He was 1 taken to the casualty ward and attended by Dr Gilmour. Later he was taken to' the Christchurch Hospital. Messrs J. Steer (Chairman), W. B. Gilbert (Secretary) and D. Tennett, (member), of the Greymouth Harbour Board have, gone to Wellington via Nelson to make representations to the Government regarding amendments desired in the Greymouth Harbour Board Amendment Bill, which was hurried' put through the House of Representatives by the Government last Saturday. It is expected the Mayor of Greymouth Mr J. D. Lynch, will join the deputatios at Wellington. Yesterday three seamen appeared before Mr C. R. Orr-Wailker, S.M., at tho Greymouth Magistrate’s Court on a charge of having been found after hours on licensed premises/ His Worship queried as to whether there were many cases of the kind locally. The reply of Detective Sergt. Ravvle was that during the present year the police, had brojight no fewer than 123 proseeu. tions of the kind. A fine of *£2 and costs in each instance was inflicted. Oratress, who won the New Zealand Cup on Saturday, is owned by the J North Island sportsman, Mr S. J. Gibbons, in whose colours Frisco captured t'.i-- same race thirteen years ago. Oratress is by the successful sire, Demosthenes, her dam being Equitas, a mare whose pedigree cannot be traced far, but who was a brilliant performer up to a mile, the Stewards’ Handicap being among her successes. , Oratress won a number of races last season, among them being the President’s Handicap at the Manawatu summer meeting, and the Marton Cup, while she ran a dcad-heat with Kilmoon in the Wellington Cup, and subsequently finished second to Kilrusli in the Wanganui Cup. F. Tilley, who trained Oratress j for the New Zealand Cup, had previously handled two other winners of the same race. He prepared Frisco in 1907, and two years later Lady Lucy won in his own colours. Arrowsmith established a weight-carrying record in winning the Stewards’ Handicap on Saturday, under 9st 131 b, Vladimir’s 9st being the previous best. The time, Imm 12sec, equalled that of Form Up, but the race record is lmin 11 4-ssec, to the credit of Michaela, two years ago.
