UNDESIRABLES: A number of our exchanges report the presence of spielers, pickpockets, etc., at their respective shows. A number of "innocents" report losses of money, watches, chains, etc. Even the authorised side showmen are not above suspicion. Some people who bought watches from an astute fellow on the Bega showground are prepared to sell at a substantial reduction. To be forewarned is to be forearmed.

THE FLY PEST: Mr. P. Mills, C.P.S., has had at his office a small supply of chalcid wasps, which prey upon the sheep fly maggot. The wasps are very small, and can be handled without any danger, quite unlike the ordinary wasps. Householders should obtain a few, as these hymenopterous insects are also enemies of the small black fly.
PROFITEERING ACT: It is not generally known under the Profiteering Act that Court proceedings may be instituted by any person in his private capacity against any storekeeper who can be shown to have made an undue profit on any article or goods sold. The case may be heard by a Stipendiary or Police Magistrate at the Court nearest the place where the defendant resides.
LET THERE BE LIGHT: As darkness enveloped our town one evening during the week some thoughtful and benevolent individual placed a lighted candle in a bottle at the corner of Queen and Vulcan Sts.
