The Clerk intimated that he had received sev eral applications to lay down eggs . In reply to a question as to the number per head allowed he stated the proportion had not been fixed , but he would make further enquiries . Mr. Southall I take it if a maximum is fixed and an applicant has not taken the full advantage at first , a second application could be made . The Clerk I anticipate there would be no objection to that . Mr. Dowding moved that the matter be deferred . The resolution was assented to . Mr. Enoch stated that he had had enquiries from grocers and caterers in the town as to the number of eggs they would be permitted to pre- serve . of The Chairman : They , grocers and caterers , are not included in the order we have before us . The Clerk said he had received a number applications from workers for supplementary rutions , four - fifths were in order , but he said it was difficult to decide whether certain occupations would be called heavy or light . Mr. Dowding We should have confidence in the decision of the Chairman and the Town Clerk . Mr. Southall : If anyone is dissatisfied they can appeal to the Committee . The Clerk further . , stated that he had received three applications on medical grounds . ( These were granted ) . The Chairman , intimated that he had given per- mission to the London Central Meat Company to sell 130 lbs . of meat without coupons . Had he not done so the meat would have been spoiled . Mr. Southall You did quite right . The Clerk said he had also received an applica tion to sell tripe without coupons . The applicant 1 : od statel that customers did not want to surren- der coapons for tripe . He ( the Clerk ) had given the necessay permission for three days . The Chairman She cannot carry on the busi- ness unless she gets a permanent license to sell without coupons . al the al LETTERS FROM PALESTINE . Sergt .

Thank you very much for the same , the things that you sent were just what we required and they will come in very useful . I received it on the 20th of this month . I am sure it was very kind of you to think of the boys . What sort of weather are you having now ? We have had a lot of rain here just lately . Oh , I must tell you we were in the trenches when your parcel arrived , so we had to have a drum up with the tablets . It was a treat , so will now come to a close thanking you and the subscribers to the fund . I .. Deakin writes from Egypt on March 1st : It gives me the greatest of pleasure to write these few lines to you to thank you very kindly for the very nice parcel that you sent me . I received it quite safely last week . I was very pleased indeed with it as all the thirgs were very acceptable , and useful and I am sure will be greatly appreciated as very by all who have received them , as things out here generally are dear and not all the best , but I do wish that this terrible war would come to an end so that we could all come back home again , there is no place like home , but I am pleased to say that I am quite well and have a good place at an hospital . It is a fine work . I am pleased to be able to do it . I had some little ex- perience of it in England and they wanted men to relieve Class A men to go up the line so I had my name put down and was lucky enough to be of one picked out , so that I often see some men my old regiment and when I get out I often comer across some Leominster men , the latest one is Mr. Morris , of Etnam Street , the postman . He is looking well . He is at present at the base P.O. As regards the place it is very nice indeed where I am , but the ways of the people are very pecu- liar , but I am getting more accustomed to them now .

Brace was held in the Baptist Church , Leominster , on Sunday evening last . The preacher for the occasion was the Rev. J. W. Kettle , of Ross . At the close of a very helpful and comforting sermon based on the words " And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes , " Rev. 7 , 17 , the reverend gentleman said : And now in this place worship and house of prayer and as an old friend of the family I may be allowed to say aL brotherly word of sympathy to those Drawing & Dining - room SUITES , In SOLID OAK and WALNUT .

There is no increased income tax for soldiers of dearly concerned . We know that your sorrow is a LADIES ' TRENCH COAT , sailors , very sacred thing . We revererce it , and nobody can understand it like yourselves and we the privilege as friends to share to some get the Sir John Cotterell stated that in the course last week he had visited the Workhouse and the new Master had pointed out several structural de- fects and omissions in the Local Government Board orders .. He recognised it was a most diffi- cult time to get things done , but he considered it would be much more satisfactory to necessary repairs done at once . Continuing , he said there was another matter he would like to mention and that was in reference to their place of meeting . Personally he thought it would be better to hold the meetings at the House ; in every respect it would be much more convenient . Sir Geoffrey Cornewall : We should at least save the 5s . meeting which we now have to pay . Sir John Cotterell intimated that the matter would rise at the subsequent meeting of the Rural District Council and probably it would be then agreed that both the Guardians and Council might meet at the Workhouse . The following were co - opted as members of Com- mittees The Ven . Archdeacon Stanhope , Rev. G. H. Davenport and Mr. Bulmer . Was re- The House and Visiting Committee elected with the exception of Mr. Bishop , he hav- ing left the district . It was agreed that a letter be sent to the Dilwyn Parish Council asking them . to suggest a successor . In resigning from the Council Mr. Davies had written nominating Mr. Jenkins his successor .. Mr. T. E. Williams thought the proper course was for the parishion- ers to nominate . Colonel Clowes moved that the Rev. W. Marshall be added to the Committee . The Finance Committee was re - elected with the addition of Mr. W. R. Parry . as claim extent the sense of loss with you . Your boy was part of your own life , you knew his ambitions , his dreams and his hopes . you remember his words of fare- well when he went across the sea in fullness of spirit to take his part in the battle - but he was our friend too . There are here companions out of the Sunday School and Choir who admired him and loved him . They knew him as a noble speci- men of human manhood . Letters from soldie some at the front come , saying how he was loved and admired by all of them We share your loss and your pride in him and we share your confidence that he died a righteous and noble death and at the call of duty he displayed great chivalry . have brought back from France a relic which i shall always cherish . the I found it among wreckage . It was a soldier's New Testament all covered with mud . I should like to think some dear soldier had dropped it from his hand as he was about to leave this earth and meet the Father . I am sure our dear brother Edgar Brace met his end in the same way . We are not afraid , we have no misgiving . We can thank God that it is possible to die with such an exhibition of courage . And now when we think of some who are here ; some who have been his companions , who with him took their stand for the Lord Jesus , we know the farewell is not for ever . The hymns chosen were singularly appropriate : " Through the night of doubt and sorrow , " " Ten thousand . times ten thousand , " " For saints who from their labours rest , " " Captain and Saviour of the host , " " A few more years shall roll . " The late Sergeant Brace was for some years a member of the Choir and the members kindly provided the flowers , which bore the inscription : From all the members of the Choir as a loving tribute to Edgar's memory and in grateful ack- nowledgment of his sacrifice in giving his life for his King , his Country and his friends . " The Rev. W. Marshall , Mr. T. E. Williams and Mr. Smith were added to the Assessment Commit- tee . The Boarding Out Committee was re - appointed , with Mr. W. Smith in place of Mr. Bishop .

The The Clerk : It is not the law yet . arrived on the 20th of February , my birthday . We Clerk stated that there would be a call for the Mr. Watkins were in the line at the time .

Mr. King It is a bad spirit to refuse to sell what customers want . Mr. Watkins There is a real shortage of Eng- lish meat and the supply will not increase much until grass fed cattle are in the market about July . Mr. King : Who is responsible for our local . supply ? Mr. Watkins I suppose I am partly , but if the meat isn't in the market we can't have it . We try to allocate 50 per cent . of the usual sup- ply . Mr. Biddle wished to know what were the duties of Mr. Bounds . Was he responsible for the short- age ? Mr. Southall : We cannot enter into that . Mr. King I am not so much concerned now about what happened last week . I am anxious to know what is going to happen next week . Can Mr. Sale get particulars as to the prospect of getting a supply of frozen meat down , and if we can get it let those butchers willing to sell have it . Mr. Southall said the Executive Officer had power to issue a transfer of coupons which would enable customers to take advantage of supplemen- tary supplies . The Chairman : There need certainly be 110 shortage of chilled meat . We can get sufficient to give a supply to all who want it . Mr. King urged the necessity of applying direct , if possible , so as to prevent delay . the question of road The Clerk referring to transport indicated that a Government scheme had been formulated which would be under the con- Board . trol of the Road Transport would be appointed for given areas . Committees The duties . of the Committee would be the registration of vehicles , the supervision of all the schemes of the Divisional Board , the distribution of permits and the recommendation priority certificates and to advise as to the radius , operation , purpose and nse of . Road Transport Vehicles in the area . The Chairman and Executive Officer were ap- pointed as delegates to attend a meeting in con- nection with shortly the scheme to be held Hereford , ary con- Pte . R. Fletcher , Hereford Regiment , on Febru 21st wrote : I take the pleasure of writing these few lines to thank you so much for your great kindliness in sending me such a nice parcel , which I received safe on the 21st inst . , the tents of which I am enjoying very much . It is quite a change to the army rations which we re- ceive . It is quite the choice of things to send out here and I trust that anything you organise for the benefit of the boys overseas will always be . great success . I can assure you that each one is doing his duty to his King and Country in this terrible struggle and I am proud to be one of them . Trusting the coming year will bring an end to this terrible war and that we shall all have the luck to be back in our homes again . Pleased to a let you know I am in the best of health .

On Sunday last at Yarpole Church , the Rev. T. W. Ward in his sermon referred to the death of private John James , aged 41 years , who served in a Battalion of the Herefordshire Regiment which was attached to the K.S.L.I. , and was killed in France on Easter Day ( March 31 ) , as follows : - " Think of our gallant soldiers now fighting with such indomitable tenacity in France and Belgium . In face of terribly hard fighting , and in spite of much bodily weariness , they have been holding the enemy during these critical days of the war . And how is it that they always keep hopeful and cheer- ful , and write home in good spirits ? It is be cause their consciences are easy . They know that they are obeying God's will in fighting for right against might . They kn they have done the right thing in making the great surrender of them- selves to their country's just cause . They know that God's will is that evil should be overcome and they are striving to fulfil it . And here let me to be num- say a word about him who is now added to the list of those of our own ber who have died for their country . He volunteered some three years ago and not long after came home very ill indeed , so much so that he was discharged from the Army . But no sooner did he get well than he volunteered a second time , and now after having served his country well . both at home and in France comes the sad news that he has fallen . John James was a man who , Our I believe , always sought to know the will of God , and when he knew it he did his best to follow it . And , as you will all agree , he was steady , hard- working , upright and reliable in his manner of life , and he was a good soldier in the Army . heartfelt sympathy goes out to his wife and little ones and I am sure they have the prayers of us all at this time of their great sorrow . May God grant to them and to all others in our midst who have lost their dearest and best a blessed and an eternal reunion at last . May the sacrifice of the fallen not be in vain , but may victory , hard won as it will be , crown their splendid efforts . " ORLETON . WEDDING . - Saturday last will be a long- remembered day in Orleton because of a wedding which had aroused a great local interest amongst the inhabitants generally . The interesting moment arrived about 1 o'clock , when the Parish Church was almost filled by guests and friends of the bride and her parents . It must have been a happy thought to Mr. and Mrs. Hall when they entered the church to know of the large number both outside the church and in it , who were centred in the principal event of the day . In the east end of the nave were about 50 guests and bc- hind them were the friends and villagers . The ar- find Good bride , Miss M. F. Hall , of Marsh Hall , Orleton , accompanied by her father ( Mr. John Hall ) rived in the west porch of the church to awaiting her the bridegroom ( Mr. Samuel Weaver ) , the best man ( Mr. Bert Hall ) , the Vicar ( the Rev. J. Shepherd Munn ) , and the Choir . A procession towards the chancel was formed and the hymn " O Perfect Love , all human thought transcending " was sung . Arriving at the chancel steps , the Marriage Service was proceeded with . The service was choral , Psalm 128 being taken . The bride was given away by her father ; and in- stead of a sermon the Vicar read some very im- pressive words by the late Reverend Bishop Wal- sham How . The ceremony over , the bride and bridegroom with their friends proceeded to the Vestry , where the necessary signatures to , marriage documents were affixed , Mrs. Shepherd Munn who presided at the organ having meanwhile played the Wedding March . The altar of the church had been most beautifully adorned with flowers for the occasion . The bride was dressed in white , and the two bridesmaids ( the Misses Hall ) wore dresses of pale blue with hats to match . The bouquets carried by the bride and bridesmaids were of exquisite flowers . After the service the church bells were merrily rung . the bride and bridegroom were assailed with the usual showers of confetti as a sign of good wishes and good luck . The wedding party then proceeded in cabs and carriages to Marsh Hall , where the reception took place . The villagers had taken a great deal of trouble in erecting at The Bower a floral arch , from which hung a device with the words " God Bless the Happy Pair " and " Long Life and Happiness . " The wedding presents were very numerous , and special mention is wished for " the handsome present made to the bride by friends in Orleton . " In the afternoon the bride and bridegroom left with a hearty send - off for Oxford en route for Cambridge . The bridegroom had seen service at the Front with the Anzacs . On leaving the churchi The number of inmates in the House was turned as 27 . re- It was decided to invite tenders for the neces sary repairs at the Workhouse . The Master asked permission to dispose of one ton of old books . He was authorised to hand them over to the Red Cross Committee . Sanction was given for holding the religious services in the Isolation Ward , the room generally used being occupied by German prisoners . Gifts were acknowledged from Mrs. Collett - Mason and Mrs. Byer . WEOBLEY RURAL DISTRICT COUNCIL . " A HARDY ANNUAL . " Monday , present at the monthly meeting were : Mr. W. T. Cooke ( in the chair ) , Sir John Cotterell , Sir Geoffrey Cornewall , Colonel P. L. Clowes , the Rey . H. B. D. Marshall , the Rev. W. Marshall , Mr. F. J. Berry , Mr. H. L. Harvey , Mr. W. R. Parry , Mr. W. Smith , Mr. T. E. Williams , Mr. G. Edwards and the Clerk ( Mr. W. H. Grout ) . The General Purposes and Roads Committees were re - appointed . Dr. Gornall ( Acting Medical Officer ) reported that 22 cases of measles at Staunton - on - Wye had been notified and 2 at Weobley .. The Clerk presented the half - yearly estimates- £ 380 . A letter was received from Eardisland Parish Council pointing out the bad state of the road be- tween the road leading to the Church and the Post Office . It was stated that the danger was caused through defective down - spouting in several cottages and the flat condition of the road . Mr. H. I. Harvey This is a Hardy Annual . What is necessary is for the road to be risen and the down - spouts to be put in proper repair . The matter was left in the hands of Mr. Gwil- liam , the Surveyor , whose report was received . Permission was requested by the owner and ten- ant to fence in a cart road between Bidney and Hardwick . The request was granted on condition that the fences were the régulation width apart . The Rev. W. Marshall asked whether the present was not a good opportunity for getting rid of the steam roller which had now been laid up for two years . The Surveyor intimated that there was no dan- ger of depreciation as the roller was under cover and well greased . He did not think it wise to sell at old iron price . There were years of work still in the roller and he thought it would be better to wait until the necessary repairs could be done . It would be difficult to get another for some years after the war stopped . MEN'S OWN BROMYARD . in BROTHERHOOD . - Over Sunday's meeting Mr. H.

Monday afternoon an interesting ceremony took place at Overmead Military Hospital when the Military Medal was presented to Corpl . Jones , No. 57232 , 41st Brigade , R.F.A. , for bravery on the field at Paschendael Ridge on November 2nd , 1917 . Corporal Jones is native of 7 , Matthew Street , Wolverhampton . The presentation took place in the Dressing Hall in the presence of all the in- mates and nurses and friends and was made by Colonel Rundell , the O.C. of Berrington War Hos- pital . Colonel Rundell said he had been manded by the General commanding the district on his behalf to present the Military . Medal for bravery to Corporal Jones . There were many brave men in the British Army and a good many in the Royal Field Artillery . He hoped Corporal Jones would live to a good old age and that he would be the father of a family and also have grandchildren who would live to say " This is the Military Medal my great grandfather won in the great war " ( applause ) . The medal was pinned on Corporal Jones ' breast by the Commandant of the Overmead Hospital , Miss D. Marston . The Colonel wished good luck to Corporal Jones and called for three cheers for Corporal Joues of the R.F.A. The cheers were heartily given and Corpl . Jones was congratulated by all present on being presented with the medal . MARKETS .

The Food Production De- partment . point out that this should not be lowed to stand in the way of potato planting . Grass land is generally in a condition to produce satisfactory crops without the aid of such manures , particularly if , on ploughing , it breaks into a loose friable tilth ; and so long as a dressing of about 3 cwt . per acre of superphosphate is available , other manures may be largely , if not entirely , dispensed with .

Writing later his wife speaks of a letter from a friend who stood by him when he met his death . They were not in the line , but were getting ready to go up when Arthur Williams was struck by a shell from a long range gun and died instantly . Ptc . Williams leaves a wife and two children .

Ovens , I.eominster , silver cigarette box . by the Ministry of Food . Department , however , reports a generally public The Food Production spirited attitude on the part of the farmer towards the new demand upon him necessitated by the exigencies of the war situation . From most of the counties the Commissioners of the Department send encouraging news of in- creased activities , and whether the million - acre mark indicated as desirable by Mr. Lloyd George is reached or not , there- seems little doubt that the Prime Minister's letter will lead to a big in- crease of the farm acreage under potatoes . In a few districts the Food Controller's statement as to prices does not appear to be thoroughly understood by the farmers . It may be well , there fore , to repeat that on May 13th the Ministry of Food will purchase all sound ware potatoes in the United Kingdom for which the grower cannot otherwise find a market and will pay not less than 17 per ton for 4 ton lots f.o.r. Compensation claims will be settled on this basis on and after May 15th . Every farmer who reddresses his clamps for the purpose of extracting the seed for planting or for sale for planting and reclamps the ware will receive au additional . 10s . pet ton for each ton of sound ware potatoes subsequently sold from the new clamps : These terms should dispose of most of the dissatisfaction created amongst far- mers by their difficulty in getting rid of the rem nant of their 1917 crop For the potato crop 1918 the Ministry of Food has already guaranteed purchase at minimum prices of from 6 to 7 per ton for all potatoes grown on new land ; the prices for potatoes grown on old land will be fixed by a Joint Commission of the Board of Agri- culture and the Ministry of Food after visiting cach area and taking evidence from the growers as to yields , cost of production , etc. This ar- rangement seems likely to dispose of the objection raised by growers in less favoured districts ; and already it has been welcomed in many counties as a common sense attempt to arrive at prices equit- able alike to producer and consumer . of The Food Production Department's Commissioner for Hertford , Essex , and Middlesex says a sub- stantial increase in the acreage under potatoes may be relied upon in all three of these counties , and that land which would nally be fallow is to be used for potato growin " Generally speak- ing , " he says , " as a result of my enquiries I am satisfied that the position is much better than it looked a little time ago and that recent appeals have been well received . " Dorset is expected to show a 50 per cent . increase in farm grown potatoes as compared with 1917 ; the North Riding of Yorkshire a 25 per cent . in- crease ; and the East Riding about the same . The Cornwall figure is expected to be " substantially increased over 1917 , " when the acreage under pota- toes was double that of 1916. Devon and Somerset also promise well ; Shropshire expects a slight in- crease . and so does Gloucestershire . In many counties much depends on the weather and the farm labour supply during the next month . Everywhere apparently there will be a much heavier planting of potatoes by allotment holders than last year ; and last year was , of course , a record alike on the farms and the allotments . THE WOMEN'S LAND ARMY . Although the rate of recruiting for the Women's Lard Army is not so rapid as the national emer gency demands , notable progress is being made towards the 30,000 figure set for immediate recruit- mnt . During last week the Middlesex Committee alone accept d 48 , women , 165 were enrolled Woolwich , 465 at Hull , and 130 at Nottingham . Most of the leading West End drapery firms are allowing recruiters to distribute literature and to recruit in their establishments . Moreover , they at are enclosing Land Army leaflets in every parcel despatched , displaying posters , and assisting in other ways . The Women's Branch of the Food Production Department are now in n position to undertake the simultaneous training of 1,500 women apart from those who may be placed in gang hos- tels . The training lasts about 6 weeks ; the hos- tels are used for testing recraits enrolled for six months who work there for a week or a fortnight before being placed on field work . Women are now coming forward in much larger numbers for train- ing with the tractors . In this connection it may be mentioned that the best record in Brecon last week made by women working a Titan tractor , which ploughed 16 acres and cultivated 22 during the week . was A acres UNCULTIVATED GARDENS .

A certain amount of dissatisfaction has been caused in the rural districts by the regulations under which Old Age Pensioners were required to surrender their pension if they earned above 20s . per week . An arrangement has now been made between the Food Production Department and the Treasury that the limit of carnings shall be raised to 30s . per week . Deductions for children are permitted up to in- comes of £ 800 instead of the present £ 700 . In addition , a deduction is allowed for the wife and for any incapacitated dependent . Thus , for example , a wife who has to support lier husband , discharged from the Army in a dis abled condition , will be permitted to deduct a certain amount from her income tax . Farmers are to be taxed on twice the amount of their rent ( double the present tax ) . If they pre- fer it they may be taxed on theif profits under Schedule D. The tax on spirits is doubled ( 30s . a gallon , or 5S . a bottle ) . Prices to the public are , however , fixed in such a way that the distiller , the restauranteurs , the publican , and the shopkeeper cannot pass the new duty on to the consumer . The distiller also is prevented from keeping his whisky in bond by a clause which compels him to supply all his customers with a certain proportion of what he sold them two years ago . Thus the distiller will have to pay the new tax on his bonded whisky and be unable to recover it from the public . The tax on beer is doubled ( 50s , a barrel ) , but the present prices to the public must not be in- creased . The tax on tobacco is increased to 8s . 2d . a pound instead of 6s . 5d . This means 2d . per ounce increase to the public . The match tax is increased , making the mini- mum price to the public 1d . per box . The sugar tax is increased by íis . 8d . per cwt . , making sugar sold at 5id . now 7d . per lb. There will be a luxury tax of 2d . in the 1s . on all articles above a price yet to be fixed , and onl all articles such as jewels , whatever the price . A list of these articles and details of tax will be announced later . It will be collected by the shop- keeper by affixing stamps to the receipted bills . Letter postage is raised from 1d . to 1d . , alike . inland , over - esas , and to the United States . Post- cards are raised from d . to 1d . Stamps on cheques are to be 2d . instead of 1d . Mr. Boñar Law's war balance sheet was as fol lows- Daily cost of war Year's expenditure To be raised out of revenue Existing atxes will yield New taxes will yield National debt at end of year , including £ 6,986,000 2,972,000,000 650,000,000 540,000,000 114,000,000 loans to Allies and Dominions ... 7,980,000,000 We are payin out of revenue 5s . 74d . of every pound the war costs .

All the prices the given below , which are from this list , are maximum increases in price allowed above the prices charged , last Saturday . MAXIMUM INCREASE .

The nearest d . above the exact amount may be taken for single cigars . Imported cigars up to IS . 6d . cach pay 1d . more and over is . 6d . each 2d . each niore . Neither weight , quality , nor -name of tobacco , cigars , or snuff may be altered from those obtain- ing to - day . An official of the Tobacco and Matches , Control , Board said on Monday night The new than the prices , may seem higher increased tax warrants , but the Board have gone carefully into the cost of material and production and assures the public that they and not the manufacturers will get the benefit , for the profits of the latter will be less than in previous years . " On the cheaper cigarettes we calculate that the new schedule shows a benefit to the consumer of 2s . 8d . per 1,000 cigarettes . " In regard to matches the cost of materials and labour have also been considered . There is a slight increase in cost under the schedule , which will fall on the manufacturers and retailers who have profiteered by charging 1d . for a box costing 4d . if taken by the dozen , will not have the same . opportunity in future . " THE PROTECTION OF CABBAGE PLANTS . Cabbages and similar plants , such as broccoli and other members of the cabbage tribe , are liable to be attacked and destroyed by the maggot of the Cabbage Root Fly . The fly lays its eggs close to the plant ( in the cracks of the soil ) just below the surface . The eggs hatch and the maggots gnaw their way into the root . Plants may be pro- tected from attack by fixing around the stem small disc of tarred felt . This acts as a barrier and prevents the fly from laying its eggs too near the plant . As a consequence the legless maggots when they hatch out are not able to reach the plant . a are are the It is important that the tarred discs hould be place in position at the time when the seedlings . are pricked out . The prompt application of the tarred discs is all important , for if the eggs laid very near the plants , before the discs . placed in position , the discs do not prevent young maggots from reaching and damaging the plants . In other words , the discs prevent but do not cure attacks by this pest , The discs should be fush with the level of the ground and should not be allowed to become covered with soil . Tarred felt discs may be obtained through horti cultural sundriesmen , and are manufactured whole- sale by Messrs . F. Anderson and Sons , Laganfett Works , Belfast .
