All the money that is invested in Turkey in the next 25 years is going to be lost, Mr Henry Morganthau, former Ambassador to Turkey, declared in an address at the dinner of the Association of Foreign Press Correspondents. “I am amused that concessions are wanted in Turkey,” he said. “It is an unsafe country to put money into. You might as well throw it in the river. All the money that is put into Turkey in the next 25 or 30 years is going to be lost and we don’t want an open door in Turkey.” While the Inglewood County Council was considering the matter of a special meeting for the purpose of determining what weeds should be declared noxious weeks in tlie county, it was stated that certain weeds, among which was the blackberry, were declared noxious by statute and needed no such declaration by the council. No one made any observation on the fact that, while this discussion was proceeding, two healthy and vigorous vines of this berry, which had made their way into the room in which the meeting wasi being held through the joists between the window frame and wall, waved defiantly above the heads of councillors as though indifferent to any edict either of statute or council.—Taranaki Herald.
