There is no truth in the statement which has been circulated to the effect that the Besses Band played for two hours at Morrinsville last Saturday afternoon whilst waiting for the Rotorua express.

“ NEW ” MILKING MACHINES When you see a milking machine advertised as being “ new ’’ or “ improved,” avoid it as you would an ox with a whisp of straw on its horns. The only safe machine is the 1‘ old ” one that- has been in practical use for at least two years. New machines have all their troubles before them in the shape of risky, and often costly experimenting. The “ Lawrence-Ken-nedv-Gillies ” is the first, and the only practical milker, having been in daily use for five years. The valuable and unique principle of its success is fully protected by patent rights,, and any “ improved ” machines are either infringements or else do not embody the indispensable principle covered by the Gillies patents.
