The filly Nompareil II has ,never been beaten wherever shown. It would occupy too much space for a card to enuo lerate and comment on all the prizetakers that have sprung from Awamoa. His yearling gets are better than ever, and anyone th inking of usvng this stallion should take a trip to Oamaru and inspect the young sto^k m the paddocks at Awamoa. Besides beinc a fit-eat breeder, Awamoa had a good.«eareer m the show ring.

THE 00-OPEMTiVE SYSTEM, 11 /"HtCtt insures mutual help and identity of interests, has met with pheno- W menal success wherever it has been applied to any object. In the United Kingdom some over seven millions of people, or a fifth of the whole population enjoy the benefits arising, from Membership of over a thousand Co-operativo Societies, thus saving al! middlemen's profits, and the Chief Wholesale Co-operaHve Society there holds invested capital of over £11,000,000, and the annual trade turnover exceeds £25,000,000. This success is owinw to the fact that the investor sees not only a fair commercial return on his investment, but proprietary division of profits which he would not receive from any other organisation.
