_—• The poll of ratepayers of the Waitakaruru water supply special rating area which was taken on Wednesday on the question of raising a loan of £2400 for the purpose of extensions, resulted in 22 votes being cast in favour’ of the proposal and two against. The school dental officer, Miss L. C. Ellis, is establishing a sub-base at Kerepeehi from to-day (Friday), and expects-to be in the district for the next three weeks. It certainly pays to advertise. An admertisement appeared in the “Hauraki Plains Gazette” announcing some 40 acres of grazing land to let. Within the course of a few short hours over twenty inquiries in answer were received at this office. Mr W. A. Leitch, of Te Kuiti, took up his duties at the Ngatea post office yesterday. He replaces Mi’ A. G. Kemp, who has been transferred to Te Akau. The picturesque coloured supplement “Recollections” in this week's issue of the “N.Z. Sporting and Dramatic Review” of an old Maori woman day-dreaming whilst smoking her pipe is a splendid reproduction that will make an instant appeal on account of the originality of the subject. Pride of place is given to the Auckland Racing Club’s Great Northern carnival at Ellerslie. Racing enthusiasts will be able to follow the progress of the various events in the bountiful selection of views provided. Interesting news items from everywhere are found in picture form in the centre double pages, the Welsh Guards leaving for Egypt, life in the Navy, girl athletes, Californian beauties, Irish point-to-point, and Babe Ruth, the baseball star. Very dainty is the page showing the charming debutantes at the Vice-Regal Ball, and another chic page illustrates the latest fashions from Paris. The overseas and local sections are again well up to standard. Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure For Coughs and Colds, never fails.
