Mr W. Howard, popularly known as the " Mayor of Patumahoe," is of opinion that this paper is essentially a valuable advertising medium. Mr Howard lost last May a pure-bred Romney wether and although an advt. appeared in these columns at the time notifying that the animal was missing it was not traced. However, a fortnight ago Mr Howard recognised that there was a possibility that with the advent of shearing-time the sheep would be detected among one or other of the flocks in the district so he again made use of our advertising columns with the result that the Romney has been restored to him. Mr Howard therefore very properly and with good reason does not hesitate to express the opinion that the " Pukekoho Timps " deserves to lio renil by ovory settlor in the district in which it circulates.
