The Rev. Father J. T. Taylor had the somewhat unusual experience near Waitakaruru of running down a cock pheasant with his motor-car. The unexpected trophy was "deader than a door-nail” when picked up, but not badly damaged, and made most excellent eating. “We do not want to rub it into this youth,” remarked Senior-Sergeant Wade at Gisborne when prosecuting a cyclist for riding at night without lights as required by the Act, “but we want to bring before the public notice the fact that a torch is not a legal light.” Quite a practical suggestion towards the relief of unemployment was put forward at the annual meeting of the Southland Boys’ and Girls’ Agricultural Clubs’ Association, which was held the other morning (reports the Daily News). “Judging by the potato yield obtained by the boys last season,” remarked a member, “it might be a good scheme for* a municipality to pay some of the unemployed wages to cultivate blocks of land and raise potato crops. The proceeds from these crops would cover all expenses, and there should be a surplus which could be put to some other purposes. Last year the boys’ total yield of potatoes was valued at about £450.” , Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure First aid for coughs, colds, influenza.
