His object in enlisting again is to allow those younger and more active to get to the front, whilst he does his best in the Dominion service. We could do with a few more patriots of this kind. Mr. Rutherford has set a good example to those wli oreekon age does not ?ome into consideration when necessity calls. There is a possibility that the Patriotic. Committee will hold a demonstration here on F.aster Monday at the racecourse. The man in the street states that motor-eyele and horse events will figure on the programme. Easter is twelve weeks >ll', so there is time to work up a big demonstration. Probably in a few days something definite may be made public.

We all wish to possess nothing buf the best. Sometimes we are suceo-i* fill, but frequently disappoint!--?. There is no disappointment awaiting the purchaser of goods at C. E. .Tamos' warehouse. Just note the sterling \alue offering in Douulton ware.*
