Tromptly the members of the company threw the doers open and quenched the flames by placing articles of clothing on them, thus preventing any serious outbreak. Except that two ladies fainted in the audience, no harm resulted.

A. Young, the Government candidate for Teuranga, said that it was the Land for Settlement policy of the Government, and the good prices realised for farm produce that in the country, had made their calling sure six days in the week. He instanced Matamata, with its 119 farms and four creameries to day, as against (ouly a few years back) its population of abont 25 souls, and no milk factories. ,He would like them to realise that it was the success of the farming industry and those working ou the land which kept the country towns going, in fact enabled,those in all parts of the Dominion to earn good wages. Out of £20,000,000 of exports, from this country last year, 16J millions came from the produce of the land, and this was over and above what Was consumed within the State. It was only by labour and capital working together for the good of all, and by cultivating a friendly spirit between town and country that they could hope to realise any permanent benefit under the Arbitration Act.
