Tribal Dance.

A most successful dance in aid of the Maori war effort funds was held by the Tribal Committee at the Te Ore Ore meeting house, Masterton, last night. Music was supplied by Mrs Anaru’s orchestra, and supper was served by the committee. Hospital Admission. Mrs Charlotte Harrington, aged 94 years, of Hukanui, was admitted to the Masterton Hospital last night with a fractured arm which she received when she fell off a chair. Her condition this morning was reported to be satisfactory. Further Remands Granted . Charged with the unlawful conversion of a motor car, a Maori juvenile was again remanded, this time to 10 a.m. on Thursday next, when he appeared before Mr L. J. Taylor, J.P., in the Masterton Magistrate’s Court this morning. On a charge of having presented a loaded firearm at a person, another Maori juvenile was similarly remanded. More Wheat Needed. “The growing of more wheat is definitely essential,” states Mr R. W. Kebbell, chairman of the Wairarapa Primary Production Council. He asks farmers to give their urgent consideration to the matter. The council, he states, is in a position to offer the services of contractors with tractors and a full range of implements. Mr Kebbcll suggests that farmers should not wait until the land is too wet, but to get the work done now to ensure a larger and more profitable crop. He urges farmers not to listen to stories that wheat is not needed, that it could be got from Australia, and that there is no storage room, etc. “They are all false,” said Mr Kebbell. Girl Missing. The Palmerston North police are investigating the disappearance of a girl who, while travelling with her mother on the Napier-Wellington express on March 3, alighted at Palmertson North and has not since been seen. She is 14 years of age, but looks considerably cider, and has brown eyes, olive complexion and golden brown hair. She has the little toe missing from her left foot and the initials L.V.H. are tattooed on her right forearm. She was dressed in a pink skirt, pink and green blouse and yellow cardigan, and wore a tweed coat with red and green checks and soft slippers. She had no .money. She is believed to have been seen subsequently leaving a hotel in Main Street, after which there appears to be no ' ti’ace of her movements.
