Mr R. O. Bruce will not be able to be present at Mr MoNab’s meeting on Wednesday at Marton. Dunedin City Licensing Committee decided to reduce the number of licenses by ten and consideration of twenty licenses is held over for taking evidence to decide which shall go. The Mokoia brought from Sydney 1300 sacks of Tasmanian potatoes. Reports of damage by blight ia southern crops and high prices have induced the shipment, and a further consignment ia to follow. Railway revenue during May amounted to ' £149,091 on North Island lines and £159,037 on these of the South Island, making a total cf £308,164. The expenditure was £90,360 in the North Island, and £91,365 in the South Island, a total of £181,725. A man named Richard White pleaded guilty at? Auckland Police Court to-day to forty charges of theft. When he was arrested two cartloads of miscellaneous articles valued at £2OO were found in his rooms, mostly tools stolen from buildings in course of erection. He was committed for sentence. The sallowing conversation, says the Taranaki Herald, was overheard the otner day at a farmhouse. The farmer had employed a man to do casual work, and he had to go to his wife for the cash to pay the man’s wages—eight shillings a day. “Eight shillings a day!’’ said his wife, “why, that's more than all our family of five workers have got on an average through the year.” “Cannot help that,’’ said the farmer; “he belongs to the Union.’’ “Well, don’t yon belong to the Farmers’ Union?’’ “Yes.” “Weil,” retorted bis wife, why should yen work for less than them.” “Because there is no protection for us; we have to chance where we get anything.” “Well, it is high time the farmers’ wives formed a union and came out on strike .to see if the Government won’t protect.” “I think,” said the farmer, “it would be a good start lor she better.” It is quite on the cards, says the Dunedin Star, that there may be some interesting developments ia connection with the New Zealand Flourmlllera’ Association shortly, these having direct bearing upon the price of flour and the cost of bread. It ia stated that some little time ago a firm of millers'in one of the districts over which the Association exercise jurisdiction seceded from the organisation in order to maintain Independent control over the values of their products. As a result of this another large firm operating in the same neighbourhood in order to be free to meet any form of competition offered by their rival, also withdrew from the Association. The fight (if there is to be one) has not yet commenced, but the sitnaion is being watched with the closest attention by those connected with the trade. It is regarded as quite possible that an outbreak of commercial hostilities between the two firms indicated may embroil the whole hour-milling industry, and of course result in the crumpling up of the Association. In well-informed circles this contingency is regarded as being far from remote. BEWARE!

Mr Th. Holderness, Dappil, Qn., who was supplied by a Maryborough grocer with a substitute of die GENUINE SANDER SONS* EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, writes:— “Back it will go like a shot. I have been using your Extract myself ana family, and giving it all to my friends for over forty years and non© will suit me. I have lived to re-echo the words of my mother, who derived so much benefit from your Extract that she would end her days cheerfully by praising and advertising it, and, being here, so to say, in the bush, I will not stand by knowing the real value and good of your Extract, AND SUBMIT, TO THIS.” We are now publishing the result of analysis of this substitute, which proved to be the common crude eucalyptus oil, around each bottle of the GENUINE SANDER EXTRACT. Do not fail to read it: you will then beware of such unscrupulous imposition. SANDER sons, Bendigo, vio.
