A chaotic old column mixes domestic tips with postings on posters for commercial art and Labour fundraising. It notes the rise of poster artists, praises Labour women for campaign support, and includes household hacks on linoleum care and glove cleaning. It also mentions violinist Kubalik and preparations for American Fleet fame in Sydney, reflecting a busy, varied city page.
Disjointed passages discuss naval symbolism, American Fleet regalia, and past wars. Mentions Sydney theatre figures Miss Corrie Moore and Mr Victor Gouriet, The Marry Widow play, Melbourne vs Sydney appearances, and Empire Day prizes won by Myrtin Brown and Dorothy Wiles. Unclear narrative, yet preserves named people, places, and events.
Schute, Hell and Co report a late May view of wool prices with initial gains from November declines, noting a brighter wool horizon yet warning of continued European and American trade difficulties. They discuss price moves, supply expectations, and rough remedies for pests and cattle abortion dating from historical practices.
A reader vents over Wallington cemetery conditions rabbits burrowing through graves and neglectful committees. The piece condemns decaying fences and calls for a caretaker, while praising irrigation improvements in Wellington area farms and urging continued development of water infrastructure.
An old piece discusses using poisoned bait to kill maggots in orchards and the risk to pigs. It describes altering flavors to disguise poison, and suggests administering medicine via the pig’s drink or a pipe for delivery, noting pigs will protest but receive the dose.
An erratic first person narrative chronicles train stations, bicycle races, and village scenes. It describes children in a schoolyard, a diligent teacher Miss Wilnor from Wellington, and a sequence of encounters with workers at a gold field. The narrator travels through Stuart Town, notes local workmanship, and ends with a remark on railway timetables and travel oddities.
Trial heard allegations of seduction and breach of promise involving Miss M Keowen and Albert Morton, a surveyor from South Blelda. The case at Harrogate involved letters, tablets, and gifts as evidence of an alleged engagement, with Morton denying intent to marry. The jury found for the defendant after lengthy deliberation and testimony from multiple witnesses.
