"Animal worship and the worship the public give to other less things is I greatly to be deplored," said Mr J. 1 W. Poynton, S.M., at the Opera House 1 last night. "If a tooth of such men as Wesley or General Booth wore put I up for auction to the community with a hair from the tail of Desert Gold, I would be inclined to back the hair." Mr Poynton was inferring that if all the attention given to horse-racing were devoted to such a work as the Salvation Army is doing, greater beneiit would be afforded the community and our boys at the front. "You may talk about the butcher, the baker, and the milkman," said Mr C. J. Ward at the Central' Chamber of Commerce, Wellington, "but the waste in the distribution of manufactures is just as bad. Go down on the wharf any day, and what do you see—a long string of carts dropping a package here and a package thero." There were not arrangements for freight for the return trip when a carrier went to the wharf, he just wont back to his stand. "There are three times as many carriers as you need in Wellington, and it all Has to be paid for."

This standard cannot be raised without the consent of the Board. Where increases have been made without reference to the Board, the latter will tako action against the offending bakers. Returned soldiers looking for employment are asked by the police what occupation they would like to follow. One of them who called at the Masterton police station was asked the question, and he promptly replied: "Well, if Paddy Webb's job is going begging, I should not mind taking it." A HEAVY BURDEN.
