King Country Chronicle SATURDAY, SEPT. 7, 1912

Owners of stock will do well to note Mr Lissaman's advertisement re cow drenches. They are coming rapidly to the front as reliable remedies at a sifcall cost. Mr J. S. Graham advertises in this issue a sale of horse, vehicles and implements for Saturday next, 14th inst. Further entries are solicited. We understand that the property offered by Mr Graham on Thursday last, was sold under the hammer to a cash buyer. This indicates that the demand for houses still exists. The Valuer-General gives notice in this issue of the levying of a rate of 3-20ths of a penny in the £ on property within the Awakino County for hospital purposes as for the year ending March 31st, 1913, the amount to be paid to the Waikato Hospital Board fon October 4th, 1912. In connection with the supply of * cream to the Te Kuiti dairy factory from Tangitu district, Mr Boddie, chairman of directors to the company, visited Tangitu this week. Meetings of settlers were held at Mokau-iti and Tangitu, and arrangements made as to placing the receiving stations. It is expected cream will be delivered from the beginning of October. A Press Association message from Eketahuna states that Mr J. L. Stuart, manager of the Dairy Union's butter factory for the past nine years, and for twenty years associated with the union, has accepted a position on the Dairy Commisisoner's staff with headquarters at Palmerston North. He iis an experienced and practical man. Attention is drawn to the alteration of the name of the post office rA?w known as Mangeao to the name of Waitanguru. All correspondence will need to be addressed to Waitanguru. The fancy leather bag has come to stay. That fact is evidently the new arrivals at Mrs Mac Donald's. How the ideas are evolved is beyond us, but here they are ready for selection. We are asked by the agents for the Sunnysids estate to apologise to the many enquiring clients for the delay in forwarding plans. They are' nuw

f to hand, and may be had at Messrs B McDonald and Cochrane's or the auc- " tioneer, Mr J. R. Graham. It is likely that an interesting football match will eventuate on Saturday week, September 14th, under Rubgy rules, between teams selected from the pakeha and native players. Should the match take place there is little doubt that a great deal of local will be centred in the game. The New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Co., Ltd., announce by advertisement, tnat they have been instructed by the owners to sell at the Te Awamutu stock sale on Saturday, October stb, the remaining Kawa township sections. The sections being freehold, have no doubt a great prospective value, and should meet with ready sale. We feel it is in the interests ot the community that we warn our readers about a highly nonsensical imposition which is being perpetrated upon many in Te Kuiti at present. This takes

the form of an epistle headed "An Ancient Prayer." The prayer would be fc harmless enough but it is accompanied f "with a statement calculated to frighten some people stating as it does the threat that unless the receiver sends nine copies to friends some calamity will be personally experienced. The whole thing is an utterly foolish piece of humbug that seems to appear periodically in different towns in New - Zealand. The best thing to do with such letters is to consign them quietly to the flames. Make one's own prayers and save one's pence. Arnst has withdrawn his challenge and has left for Australia. He stated that as he had twice agreed to Barry's terms he would expect him to visit Australia on the same terms as the last race. Bary thinks this is impossible.

As most people are probably aware, Masterton is a "dry" district, prohibition having been carried some four years ago. It is rather remarkable under these circumstances, that W the very first case to be tried in the newscourthouse, after its formal inauguration, was one in which a first offender was charged with having been drunk "As accußed has the distinction of being the first person to he brought ud in the new courthouse L will be convicted and discharged, said the presiding magistrate; and the court and bar smiled. Two Guineas for four lines of noetry! Read Tonking's Linseed

The Admiralty will lay down in November a thirty thousand ton battleship seven hundred feet long capable of 29 knots and mounted with 14-inch guns.

Mr Scott, secretary of the South Island Dairy Association, has received a cablegram from London, stating that Canadian cheese of September make is now selling at 60s 6d, and is in short supply. Sellers of New Zealand cheese have mostly retired from the market. Mr Scott says the advance

in prices is already reflected here as several buyers now offer more than 6|d f.o.b. He considers prospects excellent for high prices in Great Britain during the coming season. The following figures show the quantity of butter in cool store at the various ports throughout the Dominion on August 31st: Auckland 2500 boxes, Patea 212, New Plymouth 941, Lyttelton 297, Wellington 2038, Dunedin 634, total 8542. This will be the last of these returns for this winter. They are

compiled from April to August, but as the butter factories are now working again no more returns will be prepared until April next.

The first wool sale of the coming season to be held in Timaru, will take place on November 20th. The first Christchurch wool sale will be held on November 14th. A man who is largely interested in the wool market stated in conversation with a reporter

that all indications pointed to good prices for wool this year.

Taranaki still holds the premier position as the biggest dairy district of the Dominion,' with the handsome total of £1,055,604 to its credit. This, however, was a decrease of about £62,000 on the value of the dairy produce exported the previous season. Last season's Taranaki's eKuort of butter decreased by £146,506, while the value of cheese exported showed an increase of £84,118.

New Zealanders have cacoethes scribendi so seriously that they have now become the champion letter writers of the world. So says Secretary Robertson, the head of our Postal Department, who says that every New Zealander taking an average —writes 97 letters per annum. There must be some happy lovers in the Dominion for love-making inspires the pen, which performs the prodigies which has given us the championship in the consumption of postage stamps. Says a London correspondent: —New Zealand is getting a good and cneap advertisement just now through the film-maker. London swarms with continuous moving picture shows, and quite a number of them have been lately putting on New Zealand scenery pictures—one of the best being the Wanganui river. These pictures always get a warm round of applause. The London Daily Express makes the startling announcement that a group of American manufacturers is prepared to flood the British markets with automobiles, which it will \re able to sell at £SO each.
