LOCAL AND GENERAL
"Is s not the Beautifying Society dead?" asked a member of the Masterton Trust Lands Trust last evening. "No! For tho credit of Masterton. 'No'!" said Mr C. E. Daniell. The total number of entries received for the musical competitions, which open at Invercargill next month is 2160, which is claimed as a New Zealand record. The Masterton Trust Lands Trustees last evening set up an educational committee (on the- motion of the Chairman, Mr W. H. Jackson) to deal with educational matters, and make isuch. .recommendations : as it may think fit/ An. application from •the Rev. Father Harnett for a grant for an agricultural plot at St, Patrick's school was referred to this committee. In the Magistrate's Court at Masterton yesterday morning, Mr L. 6. Reid, S.M., gave judgment for plaintiff by default in the following cases: W.F.C.A. v. John McLachlan, claim £23 4s 9d, costs £2 16s; Pickering Bros. v. William' George Hawthorne, claim 5s 6d, costs ss; Levin and Co. v. John McLachlan., claim £23 19s, costs £2 16s. J. Kennedy was ordered to«return to A. 0. Standen a single barrel gun or its value, 15s, and to pay costs sa. Mr C. E. Daniell proposed at the meeting of the Masterton Trust Lands Trustees last evening, that the Borough Council be approached, and asked if it will set aside a portion of the public library as a children's library, on the Trustees offering to give a subsidy of, say, £2O. The Chairman (Mr Jackson) expressed sympathy with the proposal, but thought the matter should be referx;ed to, the Education Committee for a report. Mr Daniell agreed to this course being adopted, and it was decided that the matter be referred to the committee. At a meeting representing the commercial, legal and banking institutions hold last evening, it was decided to hold the annual football match— Banks and Law v. Stock and Station Agents and Dentists—at the old show-grounds on' Thursday, 24th inst. A strong committee was set up to make the necessary arrangements, and it was decided to take up a collection at the gate in aid of the hospital. Already a number of enthusiasts have gone into training in anticipation of being chosen as the upholders of the honours of each side, and an interesting contest is expected. The usual banquet will be held on Ihe ..same evening. . In 4iie)3ffagistEa£e-s Court at Masterton yesterday afternoon, Herman Crass "was charged with a breach of the Licensing Act in having brought , a case of whisky into a No-license district, without notifying . the vendor of the name and address of the person for whom it was intended. Mr 0. Pragnell, who appeared for the defendant, pleaded guilty. He stated that the defendant, had been in Carterton on a wet day, and had procured some liquor, as he intended going shooting with some friends. He had unintentionally omitted to supply his name and address. ? His Worship said the penalty for bringing liquor into a No-license district, without notifying the Cqurt and the vendor, was a heavy one. The defendant would be fined' 40s and costs. At the meeting of the Masterton Trust Lands Trustees last evening, Mr J. A. McEwen suggested that the Trust should set apart a fund to assist parents of children who had 1 been reported upon by medical officers inspecting school children. Mr McEwen said it was useless to tell the parents of many children that their offspring required attention, as they had: not the money to give such attention. Mr Wagg expressed a doubt whether the funds of the Trust could bo devoted to such an object. The Chairman said the proposal was opening up a wide question. There was no doubt that there was a good deal in what Mr McEwen had said in regard to poor parents. The matter was at present under discussion by Parliament and a scheme , would, probably be evolved whereby hospital" and charitable aid boards would assist. There was a large gathering at the ordinary meeting of the Foresters' Lodge, held in Masterton, last evening, which was presided over by Bro. Faulkner. A large amount of routine business was transacted. The secretary read the balance-sheet for the half year ending 30th June. The figures snowed the lodge to be in a very "strong financial position, and it had gained more members in the six months than any Foresters' Lodge in the Wellington district. The installation of officers took place, the following being installed into their respective chairs, Bro. Candy acting as installing master: C.R., Bro. Braggins; S.C.R., Bro. P. B. Hendry; S.W., Bro. Lambourne; J. W., Bro. Snackman; 5.8., Bro. Ross; J. 8., Bro. Carlson. The retiring C.R. Bro Faulkner, was presented with a P.C.R. neck ribbon and certificate. At the conclusion of lodge business, a social was held, and songs and recitations closed a very pleasant evening. IF YOU HAVE A Cough, Cold, Noae, Throat, ot Lung Trouble, Stomach, Bowel, Liver Complaint, Rheumatism, Neuralgia, use SANDER'S EUCALPYTT EXTRACT; 5 drops in a tablespoon of waZter. Remember, you cannot expect the goodi effects from any sort of eucalpytus. Sander's Extract cures because it oontains 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 bj trading concent who do not know what they contain, have caused previous harm, and a death has resulted from their use. Do not joply an ointment to a sore. It keeps back the seoretion. 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 iB freed front the Irritating constituents contained in other eucalyptus preparations.. It heals when others imtate. Insist upon the Genuine Sanderi.

Several technical points were raised for the defence in an action for damages heard in tho Magistrate's Court at Masterton yesterday. Mr L. G. Reid, S.M., said it was well that people should understand that this was not a Supreme Court.

Technical points would not be entertained as a rule. : A ease was heard in the Magistrate's Court at Masterton yesterday, in which William McKenzie, farmer, claimed "from William Morris, butcher, a sum of £3O I6s for forty-four ewes sold and delivered in July and August, 1910. .Mr T.

An Otago business man reoently shipped some rdbbitskins to Vancouver, says the Dunedin correspondent of the Lyttelton Times. The freight from Auckland to "Vancouver came to £6O odd, but to get the .skins to Auckland cost over £4O. He suggested that if such conditions are to continue the Vanoouver service ingoing to be precious little good to. the South Island. The same parcel of skins could be shipped from Dunedin to London for a pound or two more than the freight to Auckland, and he could have sent them to Manchester for less than the coastal freight.

Sykes, M.P.: Will the Minister for Education this session introduce a short amendment to the Education Act providing for the disestablishment of District High Schools in agricultural and pastoral districts where there is 'an attendance at the secondary classes of at least sixty with , a view to the establishment Of Agricultural High Schools in their stead ? Note: A recommendation in this direction has been made by the Education Commission, and has been supported by the Wellington Education Board and A. and P. Associations in various districts. It is not thought that more than six or eight Agricultural High Schools at the most would be established, and these would be feeders to the proposed Agricultural College. A case was concluded in the Magistrate's Court at Carterton on Thursday, in which James Bristoe, Carterton, poundkeeper, sued Martin Kerens, of Masterton, for £2 12s 6d, being loss on a sale of a pony from the pound, which pony was alleged to belong to defendant.
