DISTRICT NEWS.

WAIONGONA. (From Our Own Correspondent.) On account of other fixtures during the week, the second of the series of euchre parties was held in the schoolroom on Tuesday evening, the attendance being scarcely satisfactory. Twelve games were played, the winners being Miss Puklowski, ladies' prize (glove and handkerchief boxes), and Mr. H. Clough, gentlemen's prize (hat and clothes brush). On Wednesday evening Mr. J. Simpson addressed a small gathering of farmers on the subject of co-operation among farmers. Many instances of successful co-operation were cited, and those present were urged to agitate for a progressive movement on similar lines among- 'the farmers of Taranaki. Owing to the poor attendance it was decided to hold another meeting at a later date, and to advertise the meeting more fully with the object of securing a larger and more representative gathering. At the conclusion of the meeting Mr. Simpson was accorded a very hearty vote of thanks for his address.

Quite a number of children attend, and it is intend:"! to hold a concert in aid of funds for prizes, etc., for the scholars. Our creamery is now running every other day, as the supply of butter-fat is falling off. The daily mail service will be discontinued for a month or two through the winter time, and a mail every other day substituted. The proposal to convert the local school into a model school is arousing interest and speculation in the district. When the Government was asked if it intended to keep the battleship-cruiser New Zealand in the North Sea, the right answer was returned. That fighting vessel must be station where she is likely to be most needed, for she was not built for exhibition purposes. She may never be tested in the stress of battle, but that is a test we are not anxious to see. We prefer to see the people of New Zealand te«t Crescent Tea in its three grades, sold at 1/8, 1/10 and 2/- per lb.* GREAT OAKS FROM LITTLE ACORNS GROW.
