Saturday’s Cricket

bowling - , was witnessed at the Palmerston North Sportsground on Saturday, the performances of two seniors, Adcock and • Downes, playing - for Albion against Kia Tua, being most commendable, in this match Kia Toa opened, but clue to the deadly bowling of Adcock, <> for 10, and Downes, -1 for 0, they were dismissed for 23. Replying, Albion knocked up 110 for ' nine declared, top scores being Darkness •10, and Nash 33.

It is often complained that New Zealand-made goods arc less popular witli New Zealanders than the imposed, though they may be better quality —and cheaper, too. Perhaps this prejudice does exist to some extent. If . so, it certainly does not extend to toasted tobaccos grown and manufac- ' tured by the National Tobacco Co., Ltd. (pioneers ot' the tobacco industry in N.Z.), and as showing the wide- ; spread use of this tobacco there is the experience of a Public Hospital patient at Gisborne. Not until confined to the surgical ward did he realise the extent to which the use of the above Company's goods had grown. Prom 20 to 30 patients were in the ward at the time, and most of them rolled their own cigarettes. Only two brands were in evidence liivcrhead Gold was one, and it was smoked by all with one exception. When our patient was leaving he noticed that the one exception had a newly-purchased tin of Kivcrhead Gold by his. bedside. Other popular brands arc Desert Gold, Pocket Edition, Cavendish and Navy Cut (medium) and Cut Plug No. 10 (full strength). All are toasted.
