THE "CANTERBURY TIMES."

THIS WEEly's' ILLUSTRATIONS. r In addition to the admirable .selection •: of. .war pictures that appear weekly-in * each issuo of tho "Canterbury Times" j tfiat published this week will contain quite a number that have more of a home interest, inasmuch as they deal with exclusively Dominion subjects. A couple of illustrations will show tha magnitude of tho great landslide at Otira last week, -by which one man. was buried under thousands of tons of debris, and four houses entirely demolished. The photographs arc most realistic. Then' thoro will be a full pago of -snapshots ,ofscenes in the streets of Christchurch on "Daffodil Day," when a, large. money'was raised, by enthusiastic lfilies in aid of funds for providing ■ comfort*. ■ for our soldiers at tho front. A picture of an event that is probably a record . in the annals of tho Dominion will be '■ that of the victorious team in a Ladies' Tug-of-war which recently. took place in Nelson, in aid of patriotic funds. A splendid spirit of self-sacrifice is that depicted in a photograph of a little girl belonging to Carterton;, who gave her most clu;rislicd possession—a lifesized doll—as a means for raising money for one of the patriotic funds. ■_ There aro "Scones in Egypt," in which tha. Anzacs figure, and also photographs of our men at tho front,. in which they aro described in an accompanying note as "Clean-cut, handsome Fellows'.''?- ■'• > and a glance at the illustrations fully bear out the compliment.
