The writer rails at the “Under Vice-Regal Patronage” sign for undertakers and pawnbrokers. A country road anecdote follows with a hearse misread, then a long wander into school talk and a comical miscue when a school staffer claims to be a laundryman, leaving the narrator amused and befuddled.
The passage laments crowded streets and packed carriages as mothers with children occupy cafes and buses during holidays. It notes prams blocking gangways, passengers missing exits, and the difficulty of moving through crowded Melbourne transit and cafes. The piece ends with a note on Henry Lawson celebrations and John Campbell Davies’ literary work.
A. C. Everett, Australian Wheat Board representative, rebuts J. McEwen’s criticism of wheat price figures. He argues McEwen uses selective data to claim a £10 million loss, explains price structures for export, local flour, and concessional wheat, and defends current wage and subsidy mechanisms. The piece highlights the political clash and calls for price decisions tied to production costs rather than export parity.
