"WAKE UP OTAKI!"
To the Editor. Sir,—After a visit to the Paraparaumu Horticultural show on Wednesday I think the Otaki people might take it as an object lesson. The residents seem to take a pride i„ exhibiting their products, the result being that their hall is not large enough to display them properly. It is the whole-hearted enthusiasm of the members of the community, each sending of his best, even it' the quality is not up to the exhibition standard, that, makes for the success of a show. It is the pride at, exhibitor takes in doing better than the other fellow, rarher than the monetary gain, contending lor the honour of holding first place in the community. I- nnl we have more of this spirit our shows will not be the success they should be. We boast that we have the soil ana climate, well let us do our best to prove to the visitors to our shows that it is so. Send the best you have; if beaten, well, be determined to do better nest time. I ..•oiigratulatethe Parapuraunni residents on their very tine display. In farm roots there were more in quantity and better in quality than were exhibited in Otaki in the last three autumn shows combined. —I am, etc., EXHIBITOR.
