Fault finding may by an honour or a sin ;it depends on what you do with the faults you find. Be something definite and special, but let that something be so large,' and be in so large a spirit that it shall tempt you on for ever to infinitely greater things, MrW. E. Barnard, solicitor, Helensville, has received an appointment to^ the Crown under the Discharged Soldiers' Settlement Act. Saturday night last in Helensville was fairly lively, and a big crowd of people turned out. Both picture shows were well patronised, and the dance run by the footballers was also well-attended. A new. advt. from the Ideal Drapery Stores appears on page 1 of this issue The firm have made another advantageous purchase of stock, and are passing on bargains to fortunate customers. A so-called Maori tohunga, practising bis "profession" near Kaikohe, was recently sentenced to three months hard labour for being an idle and disorderly person. The tohunga said he gave his patients a medicine of ti-tree and flax, and admitted having served a term of imprisonment. for horse-stealing some time ago.

Education, briefly, is the leading of human souls to what is best, and making what is best out of them ; and these two objects are always attainable together and by the same means; the training which makes men happiest in themselves also makes them most serviceable to others. In view of the shortage 'of paper mentioned by the Minister of Internal Affairs, attention should be drawn to some of the methods of Government departments. Copy of an Order-in-Council sent to the Waitomo County Council during the week was printed on magnificent paper. The notice was exactly 3 inches by 4 inches and it was printed in the middle of a sheet measuring 11J4 inches by Yi\i inches. Fully a dozen such notices could have been printed on the same sheet. —Chronicle. j

Correspondence with a most exalted source by the Franklin County Council is presupposed by one of its ratepayers, who requested, in a letter received last week, that the council should apply to the Minister of "Eteni.il Affairs" {re the appointment of cemetery trustees. The request, which was considered as being remarkably appropriate, was acceded to. It was suggodted that the council should offer up a prayer; but, with his usual caution, the chairman (Cr W. Claud Motion) preferred to wait and see which place the councillors were ultimately admitted to. —Waiuku News.

Glowing tribute from the New York Globe : New Zealand lamb ranks higher than the lamb of any other country on earth. Its quality is of such surpassing excellence that retail butchers who see it for the first time can scarcely believe the evidence of their own senses. One cannot simply exaggerate the really astonishing superiority which distinguishes the New Zealand product from that of the American .'market. It represents a difference so substantial and so self evident that only your own experience can reveal the truth. The stores (it continues), were rushed, and the New York shipment of 300,000 lbs went off rapidly.

The Kaipara train service got another mention at the 'Varsity entertainment last week in Auckland. It was stated a race between the Rotorua and Main Trunk expresses was arranged, and the stationmaster of one station (imaginary) reported that a "rank outsider" was coining up and beating the two cracks easily. This, upon investigation, proved to be the Kaipara express, which won easily, but was disqualified for shunting ! It got a laugh from the audience, but they have yet to learn that the Kaipara express is really a conveuient and well-run train, which is proving a decided convenience to Northern dwellers. The rest of the trains on this line are "the limit," and deserve all the uncomplimentary remarks passed on them.

When the injustice of others rankles is the time when we have need to be scrupulously just to ourselves, to take care that the. spirit is not embittered by rejuntmeiits that should not lodge there to allow ourselves to contract no debts' of hatred that can only be paid at the cost of self-respect. That others wrong us is no reason why we should wrong ourselves by lowering our standards or changing our established boundary lines between right and wrong.

Dorothy Dalton at Eyerybody's on Saturday in "Boiled Hard." "It is as impossible to expect democratic legislation from the Government as at present constituted as it would be to expect to turn out candles from a sausage-machine," declared Mr W. Parry, Labour member. An American paper is not far wrong in the following estimate of things in general. "Half the world has been sulking and Blacking, and the other half hag been on a new joy-ride every morning The railway brotherhoods have been rising their wages and incidentally the carpenters' and bricklayers' cost of living. The carpenters and bricklayers hare been 'boosting' their own pay, and incidentally the brotherhood's rent. Capital has been tacking the new cost on prices and sometimes a tpifle more for luck. Bootblacks are making more than professors, and cooks more than teachers. Every one has been letting down a little, wasting a little, and saving mighty little." "I did not notice any anti-British feeW~~~r'' ing in California," said Mr F. Haggitt, of Feilding, who has just returned from America. "The chief complaint of the Americans seemed to be that they received very little assistance from the Allies in winning the war."
