ARARIMU.
The very dry weather experienced for some time past is having a harmful effect on the local country, grass being parched up and so dry that it is not relished by stock. Turnip crops and new grass especially are badly in need of a heavy fall of rain. One of our soldier "boys," Mr Garrett Keaney, a member of the Thirteenth Reinforcements, has been home on leave during the past week. Like all the other lads who have pre ceded him ho bears a healthy and well trained appearance. He is in facf every inch a soldier, and may be trusted to do his " bit" for his King and country when required. The local Rabbit Committee has been officially advised that henceforth the Fields Inspector will have a free hand to prosecute, if necessary, all landowners who fail to keep their properties free from rabbits. The information is welcomed by many iudustrious settlers who are endeavouring tq cope with the post and whose efforts wore frustrated by the inactivity of others.
