Waikato Show The Railway Department advertises in another column particulars of issue of cheap excursion tickets and train arragnements to the Waikato Winter Show. Board Clean Bowled Mr." S. Maxwell caught members pf the Bay of Plenty Power Board unawares yesterday when at the con(clusion of the general business, he said that he would like to remark with regard to the board's cricket team, that he understood that if they had received all the ' donations promised ;the club would be quite financial. This polite reminder had the- desired effect and the cricket club's funds benefitted to no small extent before the members left the building. Interesting Hockey Visitor Miss Edith Thompson, a past prpsident of the All England Women's Hockey Association, arrived in Auckland on Wednesday last and will spend the coming week-end in Rotorua. Miss Thompson will probably he met by officials of the Rotorua Ladies'. Hockey Association who are endea•vouring to arrange a welcome func- . tion and Maori concert for her enter- ; tainment. Child Swallows Iodine ' An act that might have had. much mor-e serious consequences occurrei in Opotiki on Thursday morning when a small boy swallbwed a tablespoonfull of iodine. The child then informed his mother that "he had taken that horrid medicine." The mother administered an emetic and to-day, Friday, the child is to be reported none the worse for h'is experienqe. Car Stuck In Mud, 1 An 'Education Department inspector at present insp'ecting schools in the Rotoroa circiiit had an hnenviable trip yesterday after vi^iting the Ngongotaha Valley School. The schopl is about five-miles off th'e main Ngongotaha Road and when making the return trip to Rotorua yesterday afternoon, the motor car conveying the inspector because stuck in .a clayey portion of the Valley Road. Efforts to shift the car by yarjous metho.ds were futile and a team pf horses had to he ijequisitioned for th'e work. Considerable trouhle is also experienced by farmers conveying milk to the dairy factory. A Vanished Race A vanished race has left tra.ces pf an active life pn the sbores of Northieast Greenland. No traee of living Eskimos in that district has been iinow'n since 1823. It is thought that fsome sudden tragedy must have over■come the Eskimps because ip seyeral jhuts were found a number of skeletons. In ope place explorprs of the 'Royal Geographical J3pciety found a number of implements among the ruins of which were well preseryed and of archaelogical value. To judge 'from the implements the coast seems to have been inhabited about ilOO■1500. Home Sweet Home. -On a cold winter's night the rain is falling and the cold wind blowing.
