PATRIOTIC QUEEN CARNIVAL.

DOCAD SUPPORT REQUIRED. The publication of the New Zealand casually lists should stimulate interest in the Queen Patriotic Carnival to be held in Wellington on the King’s Birth’ day, 3rd June, for its purpose is to raise funds to assist wounded and disabled soldiers and sailors, and to provide for the dependents of those who are killed. The carnival will be thoroughly representative ot the whole province, and we feel sure a good deal of local assistance will be forthcoming. A feature of the carnival will be a great harvest sale, and tor this purpose donations of all kinds are invited. There may be some who cannot afford to give much financial assistance to the cause, but every home and farm can supply some goods suitable for sale in Wellington. Farm and garden produce of every kind, home made preserves and cakes and handicrafts—articles of all sorts will be welcomed and will help to swell the fuud. Tens of thousands of people in Wellington will be glad to buy useful goods from the country. Several districts have already formed local committees to forward the good work. Professor Cardston, who is organising the carnival on behalf of the New Zealand Patriotic Society, will visit Foxton as soon as a committee is formed to meet him. There is no time to be lost and those who wish to assist so noble a cause should make a move at once. The secretary of the Patriotic Society is Mi Jos. Eewis, Grey Street, Wellington, and the chairman is Mr H. G. Hill, of the Bristol Producers’ Association, Wellington.
