If a farmer has a farm valued at £50,000 for land tax purposes, with stock valued at £20,000 and improvements worth £30,000, and an income of £15,000, he would pay £682 16s 3d total tax.

Apart even from new players, Soccer is gaining an ever-increasing hold in the Dominion. From a nucleus nursery of a few schools the game has spread Dominion-wide amongst schoolboys. A schools Soccer tournament is at present being held in Wellington with lads from all over the North Island. On Wednesday a team of Waikato boys defeated the Auckland representatives by 2 to 1. Opposition ,to the petition for taking the Katikati district from the Tauranga hospital district and adding it to the Waihi hospital district was voiced at the last meeting of the Tauranga Chamber of Commerce, and it was decided to ask the Tauranga Hospital Beard and the Tauranga County Council to take action to counter the proposal. Curiosity is frequently expressed by smokers when told that the New Zealand tobaccos grown and manufactured by the National Tobacco Co., Ltd. (pioneers of the tobacco industry in N.Z.) are toasted. “Why toasted ?’ they will ask. The explanation is simple- Toasting serves two purposes. (1) It helps materially to eliminate the nicotine in the leaf; (2) it develops flavour and bouquet. Imported tobaccos contain far too much nicotine to render their habitual use safe. Toasted tobaccos, on the other hand are perfectly safe because most ot their nicotine content is destroyed. Hence they may be freely indulged in without fear of consequences and as for flavour and aroma, toasting brings out both surprisingly. There are, indeed, no purer or sweeter tobaccos and no tobaccos so innocuous as those referred to. Not only superior to the imported, they are also cheaper. Favourite brands : Riverhead Gold,” a beautiful, mild aromatic ; Navy Cut No. 3, a choice medium ; Cavendish (the sportsman’s smoke), another fine medium ; and Cut Plug No. 10, a fullflavoured sort of rare excellence.*
