Ait the local "police- court yesterday morning, before Mr. J. K. Hornblow, J.P., 'Stephen .Bayne, arrested for drunkenness, second offence, was convicted and 'lined £l. A Washout, estimated to be twelve /feet deep and seventy-five feet in width, occurred on tire railway line between Te Horo -aind |\\laikanae yesterday afternoon. As a result of this all railway traffic on the ManaWatu line was disorganised, the trains being unable to pass until late last night. Deprived of their -civil rights for ten years and ordered to meet penalties of £5 each, A .Miller and Alum M. Richards, Presbyterian Divinity students, were severely eensuired by Mr. P. K. Hunt, S.M., in the Auckland Magistrate’s Court yesterday. Both young men, who were charged -with failing to attend drill, had refused service on religious grounds. The sum of £lO2 3s fid has been raised by Mrs. -C. F. (Dale-field, ofc Gi lies pie’s Line, Kairanga, for Jack Shortt, the boy who lost his sight through being seriously injured by the explosion of -a live shell at, Foxton 18 months ago. Donations amounted to £27 9s, but the remaining £74 14s fid Mrs. Daleficld obtained through selling bunches of flowers and packets of seeds at threepence each. Although a steer jumping competition Avas not to be held during the Winter -Sli-oaa t , stated Mr. J. Linkla.ter, M.P., at the meeting of the general committee of the Mana - watu A. and P. Association, to-day, it was contemplated for the next summer fixture. He added that it would be a great draw. “Will you ride one?” asked Mr. M. A. Eliott. «Y es —if you do,” replied the chairman. ;

There are few teachers in the Canterbury Education district ,who want work and who have not got a temporary or a. permanent position. There were about 100 unemployed at the beginning of the year, but these have been gradually absorbed. In fact, it appears that in the third school term the hoard will have some trouble in getting enough teachers for relieving positions, says an exchange. “You must use the newspaper,” said Sir Wiliiaim Veno, of cough cure fame, when he paid a remarkable tribute to the power of newspaper .advertisements at a luncheon in London. (Sir Wjilliam said he started his business without any capital, but, by the use of careful advertising, he built up his business to such an extent that after 30 years he was spending £321,000 a year on advertising. Practically 80 per cent, of that sum, he said was spent in advertising in the newspapers, because he always put the Press hirst in the ,mutter of advertising. “It is only inthe newspapers that you can explain the details of your goods,” he said. At the Invercargill Magistrate’s Court yesterday a middle-aged married man pleaded not guilty to a charge of being found on enclosed premises . without lawful excuse. After hearing the evidence- the Magistrate .expressed the opinion that defendant was found in a very compromising position. He might have gone to -the place ito get information, from "pure inquisitiveness, or for some more morbid desire. The outstanding feature of the case was that the evidence did not suggest .that he was there 'fojr any of those reasons. The Magistrate accepted the explanation that he had looked through a window to see if the son of the occupier was at home, and. dismissed the charge. - There is a co-operative lemon factory at Tauranga, says the “Auckland Star.” Growers deliver their crop each day in the same way 'as milk is brought to a factory. The lemons are washed, cured, graded, wrapped, and marketed, each supplier receiving his cheque every month as the output is sojd. Quite large returns atre being obtained. One grower received £BOO gross from five acres of lemons last season. The whole charge for grading, packing, and marketing comes to .about 2/- per ease. Lemons need very little cultivation. The ground is ploughed and planted .with the young trees. Hundreds of fowls are then turned into the lemon grove. These Scratch round and do all the cultivation needed. Not a weed is to be seen where fowls arc kept. The trees are sprayed .and the ground top-dressed each year'. The only other work is to pick the lemlons as 'they mature. The fowls are also a source of income. The ground, being of a porous nature, keeps thetm warm and healthy. Enough maize may he grown om a very small area to keep them in feed,

The death ocsurred at Wellington of Father B. J.. Ryan, Rector of St. Patricik’s College-, since the end of January, 1928; aged 39. The late Father Ryan was horn in Wellington, and educated in Wellington and at Meanee Seminary, HaAvke’s Bay, and ordained priest in 1915. He graduated at Vietotria College in 1918. Until the beginning of last week he was in his usual health. The funeral will take place on Friday morning.

Speaking of the hardships of some of the Maori clergy in an address at Timaru a feAV evenings ago, Bishop Bennett said he knew of cases where ministers Avere living with their families on £l5O a year. One instance Avas brought to his notice of a Maori clergyman avlio had been given additional employment — breaking stones —by .the County Council in the district in Avhieh he lived, so as to enable him to find bread and butter for his family. The Maori Mission Board had granted £IOOO toAvards the new .episcopal scheme, hut that would not go far.

From time to time advertisements appear from private ear oavhors to the effect that they have vacant seats for a trip to other centres. At the Nelson City Council meeting the oithofi’ evening a letter Avas read from local taxi oAvners and sendee ear proprietors protesting against the practice, and pointing out that ptnivaite car OAvners did not have to pay heavy annual license fees (reports the Evening Mail). As the council was uncertain about its poAvers to deal with the matter, it A\ T as resoßed to communicate with other centres conlcerning the position.

What! Fifty guineas for a tobacco pipe? Yes, that Avas the figure demanded for an elaborately carved Meerschaum exhibited in his Bond Street window. Some pipe that! But -a smoke out of a shilling briar would taste just as good. It’s not the pipe, that counts. It’s the tobacco you stuff it AA’ith! Purity is the great thing. The purer the tobacco the less -nicotine it will contain. The foreign tobaccos are full of the stuff. T-hafs AVhy their constant use is so had. The purest tobaccos of all are the New Zealand. Their eomipairative freedom from nicotine, is largely due to the toasting of the leaf. You can srnoike them till the -cows come home, ami no harm done. There’s a brand to suit eA r erybody. Those in most request are: “Cavendish” (the sporting man’s favourite), “Navy Cut No. 3” (another delightful medium), “Rliverhead Gold” (a SAveet mild aromatic) and “Cut Plug No. 10” (a tobacco the veteran smoker will enjoy because it is a rich, dark, full-flavoured sort). They are on sale by all tobacconists.—AdAr,t.
