During tho last six months over 120 new houses havo been erected at Napier South. - At the Wellington Magistrate s > Court yesterday Paddy Le Seur and 1 Harry Wades were each fined £2O fo: / betting on licensed premise::: on the results of Marton races. informations are being laid against several settlors in tho Mastarton district, charging them with failing to destroy the rabbits on their propertie?, a", required b.. - tho Rabbit Niu--1 -saneo Act. Tho oid Masterton Court buildings are being renovated in preparation tor :i;o various Go\cviuiv;iit offices. _ It is t expected that the building will be occupied in a faw-' weeks by officer;; of tho different departments. Tho ailnual meeting of shareholders of the Wanganui Meat Freezing Company was hold on Wednesday last.' Tho balance-sheet showed a profit of £8237 on tho year's working.

A speaker at tho Hawora Dairy Company's annual meeting said that he had been informed by an agent recently that some years wlion butter-lijxying iimS were paying 6}d to factories here, they were selling at, 132s at Home. "At all events, that's what he told me," concluded tho speaker ; "but I can't guarantee that it was correct." Reports from tho south show that in Mr Watts-Ditchfield tho Church of England Men's Society havo a man who is worth hearing. An opportunity like this only comas, once .or twice ;in an ordiniU - y''frian's life, so all . men arc- urged to use this opportunity. Thero is no/charge'for admit-, tanco and no collection. You are only, asked to :jivo your attention. .Mr ' Watts-Pitohiield-will do .the rest. Last year order's from South • America for New Zealand apples could not be filled. It is believed that if space be available, the applies can be supplied this year. Mossrs Moritzon, Dunedin, have written of th» Minister of Agriculture pointing out that there should bo sufficient fruit available for shii'innnt to South America this season. Included in the recent list of applications for patents in New Zealand is one from threo residents of Pahiatua, for an aeroplane "round-about." Tho machine, which has already been patented in the United States, is intended for amusement purposes, to carry passengers a certain distance in tho air. without any of the attendant risks of the ordinary flying machine. If Taranaki dairymen had been told ten years ago that tho time would como when instead of receiving 7d and Bd per lb for their butter fat they would obtain moro than double those amounts, they would certainly have disbelieved'it, says the Herald. Yet theso big prices havo come about. Last year the Ivaponga Company paid out for cheeso. no.;,less than Is 42d. No wonder the, ; dairyman wears fi\ smilo. No townsman would begrudge him all can <jet.

Mr J. C. Cooper, managing director of tho WaingaAva. Freezing Works, in conversation with an reporter yesterday, said that the prospects for the coming soa-son were most promising. The mutton market .was prac- ' tically assured, but as far as lamb »va.-; concerned tho situation was more obscured. He had an interview with a gentleman who was one of tho recognised authorities on the meat trade, and he had been informed that tho la nil) market .was dangerous, for the reason that the supplies would bo greater thin year, and that tho Australian output being later thin vea. 1 I would, to a certain extent clash with i the New Zealand market. Mr Cooper : is. however. very sanguine* regarding tho general outlook. Tho value of the principal New Zealand products passed by the Customs for export during last August was .'•£1,109,039, tho figures; for tho corresponding period last year being £084,ilo. Details: Butter £29.477, cheese £4303, frozen beef £30,678, 'frozen , mutton, carcases, legs, and piecen £5894, frozen, lambu £108,739, wheat £6472, oats £37,937, potatoes -'.£26,1 288, hem]), £36,745, rabbits £12,074, tow £lOl7, kauri gum £42,622. grain and milsa Mother than, wheat .and oats) £15,378, hops £1335. hides, £28,326, skins (all kinds) £139.305, tallow £70,121, timber £32,678, wool £261,130, gold £08,573. totals for the three months ended Jr-no 30th, 1912, is £5.000,110. compared with £-1.339,031.

' Reporting to the Clifton County Council on Friday, tho engineer (ivlr Dowsett) said that lengthy interviews he had had with tho management of the Masterton Pipe Company may possibly result in tho- company's starting operation,'; in thy Waitara. district. This should bo a Aveleom'o announcement to loc:<! bodies. The company turn out an excellent pipe, whilst the immediate advantages would, bo that I supplies Avould bo always on hand, there would bo no breakages, and the somewhat, largo item freight would 1)0 eliminated. The New Plymouth. 'Borough and tho Taranaki , County Council have both been purchasing from the Masterton County, and no doubt other, local bodies in this district, so that nwes that the company will probably erect works at Waitara should bo welcomed by them, and, indirectly, by the. ratepayers.

"for since taking them I feel a uoat I was a mart-r to biliousness and f'.'ck headache until I saw Chamberlain's Tablets advertised as a cure for these complaints. T gave them a trial and found them simplv wonderful. Noav T would he without them for any lytnnftv." Yon can j?ot rid of that cold_ by taking Tom Icing's Linseed Emulsion.
