The euchre prizes will be a special feature, ' the ladies' being a 21-piece afternoon tea set, and the gentlemen's an umbrella. Prizes are on view in Mr Cohen's window. Several large consignments of rails have reachod Kaikohe for the Okaihau section of the line northwards, and the platelayers will commence work in about a week's time. It will take 900 tons of <* rails for this section, and it is understood .'that the whole quantity is now in New Zealand. As soon as the rails are laid ! »»quarry, on the western side of Qmapere J*> ~* will be opened out, and the engine and - ! crusher now waiting at Kaikohe will be moved there and the line ballasted from that pit,—Northern News. It is reported that the Labour caudidate for Kaipara was essaying to address a number of settlers a week or two ago • at Omana, after a cattle sale. He tried to put himself right with the sons of the soil by stating that he had been "a farmer for ten years in the Old Country." Liar," shouted one not too polite individual from the hurried audience, "why ' you've got one of your leggings on wrong now." This was fatal to tfie candidate's protestations that he knew all about farming, forj jU t as a man * could not be a military if he did not - know how to wear his puttees neither could a man be a farmer if he didn't ken the way to don his leg straps.

The tale of "The Better 'Ole" is too well known to re-tell, but the film play visualises it in a new form. This romance of Old Bill has its worth in its symbolism.. Mankind always searches . for symbols to carry its .thought. The great war has its symbol to us Britishers —it is Old Bill. He epitomises for us the oJd army that was in being and the new army that rose to the call. He stands for dogged devotion to duty, unfailing humour, and unflinching valour. "The Better 'Ole" runs the gamut of all the emotions. Its infinite variety plays with human feelings as an organist his instrument. It has all the persuasion and foree —both for humour and pathos—of the famous pictures on which it is based. The admission to this splendid production will be circle 2/-, stalls 1/- (plus tax), children half-prico. Alice Bennet in " A Soul in Trust," at the Lyric on Saturday.
