If train arrangements remain as at present, the N.A. Farmers' Co-op,, will hold their Helenaville sale on Thursday, September 11th, instead ot the 9th.

Screaton's end-of-season sale commences to-day, and bargain seekers are advised to get in early. Cut are ruling for all lines, and many odd ments are to be cleared.

St. Matthew's Ladies' Guild are holding a euchre and dance in the Star Theatre on Thursday, September 11th. These socials are deservedly favourites, and the ladies intend to make the forthcoming one a big success.

t It is understood that the Eden Electorate, having absorbed a great portion of the lower end of the Kaipara Electorate," Mr R. E. Hornblow, president of the Kaipara Chamber of Commerce and Mayor of Dargaville, will be a candidate in the Liberal and Labour interests at the general election.

Wo regret to learn that the Rev. A. V. Venables took seriously ill last Monday week, and wa3 ordered away to Auckland by Dr. Meinhold to undergo an operation, which was successfully performed by Dr. Carrick Robertson. The patient is progressing as well as can be expected. In the meantime arrangements have been made for another clergyman to fill the position, and the Rev. Clement Houchen will take all services next Sunday.

The attendance at the Catholic Church euchre and dance on Monday evening, last was affected by the rough weather but those present spent an enjoyable timo. In the euchre the hig.ho3t scorer among the ladies was Miss M. Bradly, who played off with Mrs J. Morris, while Mr McCarthy won the gentlemen's prize. Consolation prizes were awarded Mrs W.Scott and MrClaridge. A dainty supper was provided, and much appreciated. Mrs and Miss Malligan»contributed most of the dance music.

As mentioned in our last issue, arrangements are being made for a series of lectures locally on veterinary science, soil cultivation, etc. Some of these lectures were given at the farm school at Ruakura, at which a number of our local members of the Farmers' Union attended. The lectures were very instructive, and the general opinion was that they should be continued. Farmers who are not members of the Union should communicate at once with the organiser, and get their names on the roll, so that they may have the privilege of attending these lectures.

An important property deal at the Springs has been completed, Mr H. Aitkeuhead having sold his residence and section, opposite the Domain, to Mr Eddleston, of Springside House. The latter gentleman intends to enlarge the present boardinghousn by connecting the new purchase with the old, and so cope with the ever-increasing tourist traffic attracted to the Springs. Mr Aitkenhead intende to build a new up-to-date residence further down the road. It is interesting to note that a sewerage system has recently been installed at the Springs, and most of the boardinghouses and private residences are linked up with the scheme.

The finance and legal committee of the Dargaville Borough Council have had a report prepared with the object of ascertaining the exact financial position of the Council at July 31st, 191 S. The following portion of the report may be of interest: "We undeistand that the Council by reason of small proportionate payments during the first half of the financial year, has usually had to suspend payment of the larger portion* of liabilities. This has been a means of loss to the Council in discounts, and a source of continual worry and duplication of work to the staff. The carrying over of accounts from one year to another has aggravated this difficulty." The setting and the theme of a picture have seldom been in such harmony as in the Selig masterpiece, " The Garden of Allah," which will be screened at the Lyric on Saturday evening. This is a picturisation of Robert Hichen's powerful novel of the same name, and the screen contrived to reproduce the mysterious glamour of the Sahara desert even more successfully than the book. The austere charm and fiery fervour of Algerian days and nights have their counterpart in this passionate story of love that was forbidden and of the sacrifice which atoned for it. Helen Ware as Domini meets a strange man at Beni-Mara. At first he flees at the mere sight of a woman, but there cornea a time when his uncontrollable desire throws him into her arras. He begs her not to listen to what he says, but she replies: " You must say it—for I must hear it." A i terrific sandstorm occurs as they are being married. It seems as though an' angry fate were giving them a last winning' The drama, which is an 8-act I feature, is most gorgeously produced, \ Coming—Douglas Fairbanks in "Flirt j ing with Fate," Lyric Pictures. !

An interesting replace appears on page 1 from Stewart Bros.' Stores, which will repay perusal. The firm have opened up their new season's millinery, and extend an invitation t© inspect.

The Ideal Drapery Stores advertise special lines in spring and summer wear at special prices in another celumn. They pay postage on country orders, and invite inspection of ther stock.

A welcome home social to returned soldiers at Woodhill last evening was well attended, and a splendid time was spent. A number of Helensville people went down, and speak well of the hospitality extended them.

An exceptionally interesting drama is " The Eternal Temptress," which will be screened at Everybody's next Saturday. A new star, Lma Oavilieri, takes the lead, and cleverly portrays the woman's part in swaying the destinies of men and nations.

A painful -accident occurred to Mr C. Vazey at West's mill on Saturday last. Whilst at work he had the misfortune to get his left thumb caught in a 'small saw, the member being damaged to such an extent that amputation by Dr. Meinhold was necessary.

Great musical treat to-night (Thursday^ when the Kennedy Company will give an entertainment in the Lyric Theatre. No greater musical combination than this brilliant and versatile company of artists has yet visited Helensville, and a bumper house is anticipated. The annual meeting of the Awaroa Bowling Club will be held on Tuesday, September 23rd, in the Lyric supper room. Indications point to a very good season, and it behoves every member and prospective member to attend the annual meeting and give the Club a satisfactory start off. The returned soldiers' dance at the Lyric Theatre last evening was only moderately attended, owing to a counter attraction at Woodhill. Those who were present had the usual enjoyable time inseparable with tliese dances, and the committee saw to it that everything went with a swing. The Musical Carsons, vrho gave a performance in the Lyric Theatre on Friday evening last, were well received and gained favourable comment for their musical efforts. A large variety of musical instruments are used by the couple in their efforts to produce harmony, and both are mo3t versatile musicians. A very old identity of the district, John Davis, died at Mount Hex on, Tuesday morning, at the age of 70. At one time deceased, with his two brothers, was engaged in boatbuilding here, and among |other craft, built the old Briton, now'laid up on the river near the railway yards. One brother died some years back, and the remaining one of the two is now alone, in feeble health, at Mount Rex.

The Dargaville Bell states : " Apropo3 of the forthcoming general elections and Kaipara's interest in the same, it is anticipated that Major Coates, M.P.. is well in the runninng for a portfolio when the formation of a new Cabinet is to be undertaken after the great fight." Since the foregoing was written the Prime Minister has announced the appointment of Major Coates to Cabinet rank. Our congratulations to the member for the honour thus conferred upou him, and the electors whom he represents so ably.
