The annual meeting of members of the Masterton Football Club will be iheld in the YJM.C.A. rooms this, evening. V ' ■ .•'.

On it wer© inscribed these words "This parcel contains At a conference of delegates .from the various' carriage builders, and wheelwrights of the Dominion, held in Wellington on \Luesdav, it was resolved to form a. Federation for New Zealand, to bo kuoifrn as the Carriage Builder, Wheelwright, and Motor Car Builders' Association x»f New Zealand. , , v .'The work of the officers of the Stock Department in ".'Masterton is apparently inueh appreciated by •-the. settled ill the back block*. Writing to tile Akitio County Council, one 6f these settlers says:—"We had a visit" from Mr T. C. Webb, of the Agricultural Department, Masterton." He removed a cancerous growth from a cow, besides attending to . a horse. Being in the back blocks, and fifty miles from a railway, it is a pleasure to have a visit occasionally from a gentleman of the Stock Deepartment," "I hfIVA a :«k(k wife and twelve children," was the explanation given by a judgment debtor at the Auckland* Magistrate's Court recently, for not paying an account. In .answer to questions, he stated two children were working, and after paying rent he had £4 lis per week, provided there was no broken time. The lawyer suggested that waTa good income, whereupon the debtor asked: "How'would you like to keep such a lot on £4 lis per week?" He then added, "That sum does not go very far in Auckland." Under the circumstances the case was adjourned. The Easter holidays are now over, and the Masterton Technical School classes -are again in session. •We are asj^ ; d to state that pupils are "still lie nig actively (enrolled, and that there ia room for still larger numbers. The building and ana- ' chinery construction classes are not yet complete, and the director will be glad to receive applications , for pla s from youths who dpsire to hecome students under Mr D. Grant, who is a highly capable instructor. Application hay been made by the JBoard of Managers to _the two Wajrarapa Agricultural and Pastoral Societies, and to the District Farmers' Union for help in forming a. class for veterinary studies. It ha-s been suggested that a scholarship should be offered to students, so that success.ifnl young fellows may proceed to college and secure the degree in veterinary science. There is :io rea son why offices .and commercial buildings, or even hotels 1000 ft high, should not be safely and profitably built, in the opinion of Mr Cass Gilbert, the American architect, who is responsible for several of New York's huge ®ky-scrapers, including the famous Woolworth building. Mr Gilbert has just passed through London on his way 'home from Munich, where he went to arrange with Dr. von Muller, the director of the new Deutches Museum, now .in the course of erection, for housing the model of the AVoolworth Building, over 20ft high, , which Mi- Wool worth is-presenting to the museum. "From every other standpoint there is practically no obstacle to the 1000 ft building," said Mr Gilbert to a, "Standard" representative. "The very important factor of wind forces has already been settled by the fact that New York skyscrapers were built to stand a velocity of -70 miles an hour, whereas on more than one occasion this winter these same buildings easily withstood the force of gales reaching as as 10-5 miles an hour."

The business' of tho Mastertoff Borough Council last evening was completed in fifteen minutes. The value of tho cargo taken -by the Waimato from Waitara on this trip is estimated to reach rather over £20,000 (*ays tho Waitara Mail.)' Settlors on the East Coast stater that tho recent rains did an immense amount of good to the country, which had become very dry anst parched, with feed very scarce.The time-3 are changing. A visitor to (Ma-sterton yesterday remarked tbatfthe only privately-owned motor ear» he saw passing through the town for a full hour, were occupied by Natives. Mr J. O. Boddinq;ton reports that tho rainfall .-.registered at Upper Plain for the 24 hours preceding 9i a.m. on Sunday, was 5 points, Monday 7 points, and luesday 15 pointsFour degrees of frost wore recorded' on Tuesday morning. A Dunedin telegram states that the Union Company has purchased the cargo boat ■Gilford, 7500 tons, from the Andrew Weir 00., and ha»renamed 1 'her tho Waitomo. The vessel was only built fifteen months ago. A Ha.wera, telegram states that Clifton House, a two-storied wooden - building, containing 22 rooms, aaid occupied by Mrs I'. Douglas, waspractically demolished by fire on Monday. Very little of. the contents was saved. The building wasowned By Nurse Taylor, of Elthahi r and wasMnwired, but the amount wasnot available. The furniture was insured for £250 in the Phoenix Com—pany. - ; Two-young settlers of Master ton, who, alter making a competence int. these .parts, proceeded on a visit to Scotland, have returned to make the - somewhat disconcerting announcement that they- propose making their permanent abode in Scotland'. They" stato that land is much 'cheaper an Scotland than in New Zealand, and *• that, considering all things, they; believe they can do better" with theirmoney in the old land than in this country.

It is not often that we hear talk aiboufc the colour line in New Zealand, for the Maori has always been regarded more or less, in this country, as a brother member of the human, family notwithstanding certain little, differences of inherited instincts and lines, of reasoning. But up in U<raiti (Auckland), there is a settler who hag definite opinions of his ow®. on the social mix up of the races, opinions which, unfortunately for himself,'find scant sympathy from the members of the 4uckland Education, Board. A report was before theBoard, stating that this.settler steadily and resolutely declined to send his, children to school, the. reason given: being that ho children of his shouldi attend a school at which Maori children were taught. It appeals that, three Maori children get their education at Uruaiti school, as no Native school is within reasonable distance. The Bonrcl dismissed the objections of the settler, by giving instructions that the truant officer should use his. persuasions with the, obdurate pake--lia.. . IF YOU HAVE. A Cough, Cold, Nose, Throat, on Lung Trouble, Stomach, Bowel, Liver Complaint, Rheumatism, Neuralgia, use SANDER'S EUCALPYTI EXTRACT; 5 drops in a tablespoon of waZter. Remember, you cannot expect the good effects from any sort of eucalpytus. Sander's Extract cures because it contains ethereal .and antiseptic, substances not contained in other eucalyptus proructs. These latter, made by persons, ignorant of chemistry, and provided with fancy names and labels by trading concerns who do not kriOT* what they contain, have-, caused grevious harm, and a death has resulted from . their use. Do not apply an ointment to a sore. It keeps back the secretion. To wounds, bruises, sprains, burns ulcers, eczema, and other skin troubles, apply Sander's Extract; 15, drops in a tablespoonful of olive oil. The effect will surprise you. _ Sander's Extract heals, because it is freed from the irritating constituents contained in other; - eucalyptus preparations. It (heals when others irritate. Insist upon 1 the Genuine Sanders.
