SEED TIME Y"ES —Seed Time (or sowing time) will soon be here again. The most able Statesmen and Financiers tell us truly that the World must produce its utmost and reduce as quickly as possible, the load of debt due to war wastage, and to produce that as economically as possible. Well, there is no way in which you can get more pleasure and profit (in consideration of the outlay in time and money) than from your garden. Which is it cheaper to pay—the Seedsman or the Doctor? It is quite easy to be a successful gardener providing that you use ordinary care and COOPER'S •sEEDS—“THE SEEDS OF SUCCESS.” Mr. T. Webb, of Palmerston North (who has taken over 1000 prizes) says: “I have again been most successful with COOPER’S SEEDS, and have won dozens of prizes this season.” Insist on having COOPER’S SEEDS in packets or bulk.

FULL MOON ANTICS. MAD FREAKS AT WANGANUI. YOUNG MAN RUNS AMOK. Remarkable happenings often occur at the time of full moon. At Wanga nui late on Saturday night the extra ordinary activities of two individual caused he police to be busy for som time. The first incident occurred in a boardinghouse, where a young man pos sessed a hallucination that he had killed a Chinaman, and that the police were after him. The next hour was crowded with a lot of excitement for himself and for two guardians of the law, who were soon on his track. He i left the boardinghouse with a vault over a balcony on to the road, and, despite the leap of 25 feet, apparently escaped without injury. His next call was at the Telephone Exchange, where his weird antics made a couple of attendants on duty feel more than apprehensive. He left abruptly, taking a bicycle that was standing in the lobby. At this stage he temporarily passed out of sight, but later he appeared in the avenue, and then things for a time began to move. A weighing machine caught his eye; he successfully wrestled with it and upended it on the footpath. He then had a falling-out with the Wanganui Herald Co’s large plateglass window, which he smashed, glass ! falling in all directions. His next exploit was to tear down a number of verandah blinds from a shop window, and his final prank was an endeavor to relieve a policeman of his shako. Possibly this short, merry rampage would have ended at this point, but, being fleet of foot, the fellow quickly outranged the indignant representative of law and order. By devious paths he got back to the boardinghouse, but two constables were soon there. They decided it was good strategy to get their quarry lured by a message that somebody wanted to see him at the door. When he did see who was there he fled precipitately up the stairway. Fast following on his heels, one of the conI stables cut off his route to the balcony, and finally the object of police search was found hidden under a bed. The man was taken into custody and placed under medical observation. Subsequently a S.O.S. message came from a local cabaret, where it was disI covered that a young man was up on I the roof of the building doing one-steps and two-steps and generally behaving in a very eccentric and hilarious fash- [ ion. It was a job beyond the scope of the M.C., but others joined in with supplications, and finally the indecorous one was induced to abandon his (risky location and return to earth. In a" struggle with another man he lost his coat and vest, and bolted away. Finally the police located him, and after a few inquiries directed him on the way home. It appeared that the Old Bovs’ football team’s return to form on’ Saturday upset the man’s equilibrium, and he was celebrating their victory in the extraordinary manner described.
