The latest issue of “Aussie” has a particular interest for New Zealanders. It is a special Cow Number. In this issue Strawberry comes into her own at last. “Aussie” has discovered that the cow is fundamentally a funny bird. She is a jester. The cow is probably the most misunderstood of all the animals, and “Aussie,” realising this, has set its artists and writers throughout Australia and New Zealand to correct what has for too long been a false impression. The result .is “The Cow Number,” an issue full of the meat and milk of strawberry and her family. This issue of “Aussie” is one to preserve, and whether in cow country or city the number should be talked of and quoted for many weeks to come.

Crossword puzzle competitions still continue to be a source of popular interest in “Humour.” Readers participate in big cash prizes. Also there are cash prizes offered every week in the joke competitions. “Humour” is always bright, naturally so, for it has the whole world to draw from for its witticisms.
