} 4 MINISTRY OF THE REV . J. M. RIDGE . RECOGNITION MEETING AT LEOMINSTER . A hearty welcome from the church and circuit was accorded the new superintendent minister , the Rev. J. M. Ridge , at the Green Lane Primitive Methodist Church on the occasion of a recogni- tion meeting held on Thursday of last week . Ald . James Farr , J.P. , presided . Apologies were re- ceived from the Vicar ( who prayed that Mr. Ridge's work and ministry might be greatly blessed to his people in Leominster ) , the Rev. G. Elliot Lee , and Councillor Watkins . Afd . Farr referred with appreciation to the Vicar's letter of Christian sympathy . Speaking of Mr. and Mrs. Ridge he said he would only be echoing their desires as a Christian people in hoping that the Lord might bless them in their work . He remarked that Mr. Ridge must come of a preaching family of Christian ministers , for he had a brother who was also a very , successful worker in the ministry and his eldest brother was Vicar of a church in London . Just now it seemed that Christians were drawing nearer to- gether than they had been in the habit of doing . He illustrated this remark by the thanksgiving service in Canterbury Cathedral , where the sermon was preached by a Baptist minister and a Wesleyan read the lessons . To come nearer home , there was a united gathering at Birmingham when the Bishop took a leading part and a former minister at Leominster , Mr. Hirst , represented the Free Churches of Birmingham . He rejoiced to see that the barriers of prejudice were giving way and that people realised that it was not by the name they were called , but by the service they rendered that they were known and respected . In reviewing the career of the new minister , Ald . Farr said that Mr. Ridge was one year in Liverpool as assistant to the President of Conference . He there carried on a very succèssful , work amongst young people and built up For a strong Christian Endeavour . three years he was in Manchester , where he or- ganised and worked a large men's institute , often There he also with an attendance of 1,000 men . conducted a revival and heavy debts on the chapel were reduced . The next 11 years were spent in Bolton , Jersey , Shrewsbury and Middleham , York- shire . During that time he had made arrange- ments for two district synods , and had been elected district district temperance secretary , Christian Endeavour Secretary , Secretary of the S.H.U. , G.C.D. for the district and delegate to conference . He had also organised social and religious meetings for a camp of 1,700 soldiers . Mr. Ridge had come to Leominster from Middle- ham in Yorkshire , a cold and difficult country to travel , and he was the only minister who had stayed five years in that circuit . Ald . Farr went on to appeal for support and co - operation on the part of the Leominster members . It would be a great encouragement to Mr. Ridge to know that they appreciated the work he had done and were prepared to do according to their strength and ability all they could to help him in the work of the Leominster circuit . was Mr. Ezra Cole , J.P. , speaking on behalf of the Church , extended to Mr. and Mrs. Ridge a very hearty welcome . The coming of a new minister time of great expectation and rightly so considering the importance of the minister's influ- ence the lives of the church upon members . They had always in Leominster looked upon their minister as their friend and they expected to have the same regard for Mr. and Mrs. Ridge . He would have a warm hearted and affectionate people to work with and they hoped his stay there would be a time of increasing usefulness . They were glad to hear of Mr. Ridge's association with the Christian Endeavour and would look forward to his interest in their activities . Mr. Cole went- on to speak of the church in Leominster as being united and loyal and concluded by asking and Mrs. Ridge to accept from him on behalf of the church their hearty welcome to them . Mr. At this point Mrs. Bounds gave a nice rendering of a solo entitled " The Lord God planted a gar- den , " Miss Gladys Watkins being at the organ . Mr. James Bayley , on behalf of the Sunday School ( in the absence of the superintendent ) and of the Choir , assured Mr. Ridge that the Sun- day School was a thoroughly healthy organisation of the church . They were one of the few schools that met on Sunday morning and the ministers had all striven to interest the children and make them feel they were taking a part in the worship of the church . They had had as many as 45 at a Sunday morning service and very rarely less than 20. With reference to the choir , he said it was a very loyal body . It was closely allied to the school and had been one of the great links in the church to keep the young people interested in their cause . Mr. Henry Northwood on behalf of the Christian Endeavour said he was sure they would be bene- fitted by the help of Mr. and Mrs. Ridge . Mr. The Saul Kimbery , on behalf of the local preachers , spoke with 44 years ' experience of the work , in extending a welcome to Mr. Ridge . He said that their late minister , Mr. Millward , on many occasions bore testimony to the unity of the local preachers and their readiness to comply with his requirements to keep the work progressive . The Rev. A. G. Phillips ( Moravian minister ) welcomed the new minister and his wife on be- half of his church and of the other Free Churches in the town . He could assure them that they had come to a ' oyal people and he felt sure Mr. Ridge would be helped and encouraged just as Mr. Mill- ward was during his time in Leominster . time was coming when they would have to do away with creeds and dogma and no matter what church they belonged to there would only be one test , Jesus Christ and Him crucified . Referring to the Free Church Council in the town he said that it had become practically extinct with the departure of Mr. Millward and Mr. Lee and the absence of Mr. Elder . He trusted with the advent of Mr. Ridge and the new Wesleyan minister , and now that Mr. Elder had returned that the Free Church Council would be revived and they might again wholeheartedly take up work on behalf of the Free Churches . The Rev J. M. Ridge replied in suitable terms to the speeches which had been delivered . He said he was very grateful to the church for their hearty welcome . He was grateful to the Vicar for his good wishes and to Mr. Phillips for his able and suggestive message . He prayed that they would have seasons of blessings and prosperity in the circuit and society . What was the way to achieve those blessings ? They must all recognise the vast amount of work that had already been done in that church and circuit . Mr. Millward had already paved the way for successful work . He had been greatly impressed by his conscien- tiousness , straightforwardness , and humility in the work of the ministry . He was privileged in following Mr. Millward and others because the prospects of successful work had been made pos- sible by their labours . BROMYARD . Binyon presided BROTHERHOOD . - Mr . C. M. over Sunday's meeting , and read the lesson ; Mr. Passey , Steens Bridge , offered prayer ; Miss Nellie Viles , of Worcester , sang two solos " Take up thy cross , " and " Love Eternal . " The Rev. J. Wesley Green , of Worcester , delivered an address on " The Compensations of Christian Disciple- ship " ; and Miss Irene Frost , of Bromyard , was the accompanist for the hymns and soloist . y HAIG'S STEADY PRESSURE ON RETIRING ENEMY . MEN . GERMAN REARGUARDS FLEE FROM OUR Reuter's special correspondent onl the British front , telegraphing on Tuesday , says : The suc- cessful attack which I gave us command of the Outtersteene Ridge on Sunday morning has been rapidly followed by further movements . That the Germans were preparing for retirement in at least some of the places whence they have now gone we have definitely known for some days . But that their withdrawal would have been precipitate but for our having carried the one dominating ridge of this region seems unlikely . East of the Forest of Nieppe is a monotonous level , the clinging clay of which is kept moist by numerous little " beeks , " with Armentieres stand- ing stark , just inside the French frontier , gazing upon a melancholy prospect of yawning church towers , jagged farm buildings , and shell - torn patches of green . It is poor country to hold when you have lost observation and the other side can watch every movement and direct artillery fire accordingly . Merville itself , when I was last in it , was a picturesque and peaceful little town , " giving an impression of singular remoteness from the war , although the throb of the guns rever- berated distinctly enough across the broad , sleepy canal . Now the unspeakable German has devas- tated and befouled it according to his wont . SHADOWING FIGHTS . Our patrols have maintained steady pressure on the withdrawing enemy , and inflicted considerable casualties by their dropping fire . Although Ger- man rearguards seldom waited could come to grips with them , we yesterday took during these shadowing fights more than thirty prisoners and four machine - guns . until our men Between Vieux Berquin and the Hazebrouck- Bailleul Railway we attacked enemy positions , and threw forward our flank south of the line in con- formity with our advance upon Outtersteene the day before . All our objectives were gained , and one officer and 181 other ranks came back as prisoners . The enemy manifestly continues in a jumpy condition . At 4.30 this morning he put down a furious barrage upon the La Clytte - Scherpenberg road , but no infantry movement followed , and this was , apparently , a protective shoot . The troops now falling back belong to the 6th German Army , commanded by General von Quast , and it is an interesting fact that Von Bernhardi is the corps commander directly concerned . As his writings embrace tactical theories to fit every conceivable situation , we shall see how far these will be vindicated in practice . SERIOUS PLIGHT OF ITALY . " Of all the Great Powers engaged in the war Italy is by far the worst off for coal , " said Sig- nor Galli , Chief of the Italian Coal Mission in London . " Italy , " he continued " has no steam coal of her own , and the war has changed her from an agricultural to industrial an country . Our munition works and engineering shops use enormous quantities . The amount consumed on the railways is prodigious , and bears no relation to pre - war demands . Naval considerations , not direct- of route and convenience , determine the ness ports at which our imports , including coal itself . shall be landed . Consequently there is an in- crease of haulage which cats up vast quantities of coal . " People in England have no idea of the plight of Italy as regards ccal . All the coal and wood we can get is not nearly sufficient . To - day it is no uncommon thing to see a train stopped be- tween stations waiting for fuel to get up steam . Last winter our hospitals were without coal . Throughout Italy gas is supplied only in eight largest cities , and only for the two or three hours a day . The sun does not always shine in Italy .

H. D. Powell , collector of rates for Kim- bolton Parish , applied for an increase on his sal- ary of £ 15 per year on the ground of the in- creased cost of living .

The overseers had been asked to pay the calls by that day week and the Commit- tee recommended that if they were not paid within the next 14 days summonses should be issued . OFFICER'S RATIONS . was The Clerk drew the attention of the Board to the allowance which they made to the indoor offi- cers when the rations of bread , meat and sugar were reduced . They were then allowed unrationed foods up to the value of 6d . per week . view of the universal rationing , the question whether the Board should continue that . The Master pointed out that rations were part of their salaries and any reduction was equiva- lent to a reduction of salary . The indoor officers only received a pint and half of milk per week and 4 lbs . of bread and no flour , whereas these foods were unrationed to private individuals . In reply to the Chairman the Master said that an allowance in cash would be as acceptable as one in kind .. It was decided to continue the present system until the end of the present quarter . DAMERY SLAUGHTER . ENEMY CAUGHT IN OWN TRAP . A vivid story of the rout of the German counter- attack on Damery , north - west of Roye , is told by Mr. J. F. B. Livesa ; the Canadian correspondent at the front . He says Canadians captured the yillage practically without opposition and had only five casualties . The enemy plan was squashed . On the assumption we would hold the village the enemy had us in trap , with a concentration of gunfire and converging infantry assault . The colonel , who led the attack from the start , immediately decided to take up a line in front of the village . The movement was carried out barely in time , for there broke an intense enemy cafinonade with heavy and light guns from north- east and west , all concentrated on the doomed village ( which lay in a horseshoe ) , but not a shell touched behind the our men lying just slightly rising ground . After the preparation was considered complete dense waves of troops converged on the village from both Fresnoy and Goyencourt prepared to reap an easy victory . They came in full march- with ing equipment , their blankets , evidently expecting to break through . Not less than four enemy battalions came into line . They came con- fidently on to one of the most terrible slaughters of this war , for our magnificent artillery , as- sisted by French batteries on our right , laid down an intense barrage in the centre of their massed advance and right across its entire line . our The front waves were caught between the road and the village and must either fight their way through or surrender . They fought with desperate courage . Our centre fell back a little to the bor- der of the village , where the enemy artillery could no longer play , while both flanks poured a murderous machine - gun and rifle fire into the penned enemy mass . He was doomed . " I used up two of our rifles and one boche , " said a private who holds the Military Medal and bar , " fired off all my ammunition , two bandoliers more , and then had to borrow from the men who came up to our support . My rifle got so hot that I had to work the bolt with my foot . The long- est range was 200 yards , most of it 75 to 100 , and every shot a bull . Never seen so many dead in my life . It was like spraying a potato patch . " Often in the mclée of battle prisoners have to be sent back to our cages with very small escorts , Mr. Livesay says in another despatch treacherously scized turned its machine - guns advancing troops .

Tokyo , Aug. 15 ( delayed ) .- The rice riots which have convulsed many of the principal cities of Japan during the week ,. notably , past Kobe , Osaka , and Nagoya , now appear to be subsiding as a result of the prompt action of the Govern- ment and of the local authorities . The riots , which have been marked by serious conflicts between large mobs of people and the police and military , are attributed to fact the that rice prices have recently been treble the pre - war rates , principally owing to speculation and profiteering . but partially to a world shortage . In several places the crowds raided the shops and set fire to warehouses , and their lawlessness caused great alarm , as the police were incapable of controlling the situation . The rioting has now almost wholly subsided , owing to the Government and the municipal auth- orities making arrangements to sell rice under cost price . The Minister for Home Affairs asserts that stocks are ample for the country's require- ments until the next harvest . numerous At Kobe the disturbances resulted in casualties . The soldiers and police were obliged to employ sabres and bayonets . The mob attacked the factories owned by the Suzuki Company and the residences of the directors . The offices of another importer of foreign rice were attacked , but the soldiers prevented any destruction . HUN'S TELEPHONE . SENTENCE OF THREE MONTHS . When Claude Henry Thoem , 45 , boarding - house keeper , Effra - road , Brixton , a German , was charged at Lambeth with a series of offences under the Aliens Restriction Order it was alleged that his statement that he had an English - born wife was untrue , that he failed to notify his change of address and occupation , and that he had a tele- phone without permission . Inspector Hollis said Thoem lived . with woman for years until she left him . Thoem : a She left me because she is infatuated with a police sergeant . It was stated that he had been in this country for 20 years , and had hitherto obeyed the regula- tions . Mr. Chester Jones , the magistrate , thought it undesirable that a German should conduct a boarding - house . Thoem : I have been on War Office work . that not more important still ? Is Mr. Chester Jones : You will go to prison for three months , and then , I understand , you Kerosene and candles are dear , hard to be interned . get , and altogether beyond the reach of the mass of the people . Sc after sundown they sit in the dark . " 100,000 TONS OF RABBITS WANTED . A utility rabbit club has been formed at Cam- berley , with Admiral Johnstone as president and Mr. W. R.

The collec- tions were for the School Funds . RURAL DISTRICT COUNCIL . On Monday a meeting was held at the Board Room , Mr. R. de C. Peele ( Chairman ) , presiding . Mr. G. P. Rogers ( Surveyor ) reported that he had notified the Road Board Control of the resolu- tion passed at the last meeting respecting the stone lying at Aldon . The Chief Inspector En- gineer came down and concurred with his views and complied with the Council's request , refusing the Timber Department permission to take any of the stone . The Inspector inspected the roads known as Halford , Ireland , Dinhope to Moorwood , and Grindle Cross , which H.M. Timber Depart- ment were now using . They requested him to for repairs to the same . forward an estimate Messrs . Edge & Co. had written re l'eaton and Bancroft Road , suggesting the matter stand over , as they would be hauling over the road again . The 100 tons of stone for Long Lane had been de- livered . Mr. T. J. Bryan had agreed to repair the culvert at Clay Road for the sum not exceeding £ 10 . The Government Food Production Department had made application for a license to store 100 gallons of petrol and 650 gallons of paraffin upon the premises belonging to Mr. G. H. Brown , builder , Market Street , Craven Arms . In respect to the Craven Arms and Halford water supply he asked permission to hire a Palsometer pump which he proposed to fix within about 12 feet of the bottom in the new borehole , which is 68 feet deep , and so raise the water out of the bore into the old well . He suggested trying the experiment for 6 weeks and then to fully report to the Coun- cil . After discussion a Committee was appointed to inspect the proposed petrol store . With reference to the water it was decided that they ask Mr. Bryan to allow them to test the pump and if satisfactory to purchase it , but not to pay the hire hire to be purchased . If not purchased the paid . A letter was read from Mr. Preece , caretaker , Craven Arms , stating that the water was as low as it was 13 years ago , and if it continued he should not be able to pump at all .

POLITICAL , OR EVANGELICAL . Py the Bishop of Hereford . The following appeared in the " London Times " on August 17th- Unless we are all grievously mistaken , the war is forcing Christians everywhere , and especially English - speaking Christ'ans , to face the question of what is called , rather misleading , reumon . Two conclusions are , I think , on the way to gen- eral acceptance 1. Reunion must be sought , and cau only be nearer secured , in the natural drder - hrst , the the remoter . In plain . Churches , then , termis , Anglicans must hrst establish fraternal relations with to- their Nonconformist neighbours ; then , gether with their reconciled brethren , they must seek reunion with the unreformed Churches of the Rome and the East . Not less perverse than morality which wept for the woes of slaves Africa while indinerent to the deeper miseries factory - children 1S in England tne ardour for agreement with unity which seeks ecclesiastical isolation foreigners abroad while acquiescing in from Christian neighbours at home . For , while reunion with the tormer must always be mainly theoretical , that with the latter must be primarily practical . The one is a paper unity , religiously unmeaning ; the other is a genuine unity , tested daily in the contacts of life . 2. Reunion must be based on one of two prin- ciples either the political , which makes all turn on the type of ecclesiastical government , or evangelical , which finds the essence of religious unity in fundamental faith . 111 of the It is extremely important that these two con- clusions should be justly appreciated , and should be given their full intiuence in the consideration of reunion , if the present hopeful phase of the discussion is to escape the fate of every previous phase - viz . , evaporation in mere sentiment , lead- ing to an embitterment of existing divisions . The Bishop of Oxford in a recent sermon pro- fesses " a profound desire for union " with the Church of Russia . But he has told us that the Church of England can in no conceivable circum- stances form part of a Federation of Protestant Churches , i.c. , he rules out every attempt at union with the English - speaking Protestant Churches . Episcopacy is , in his view , the essen- tial condition of reunion . Where episcopacy exists , no errors can be too gross , no moral standards too low for ecclesiastical fellowship . Where episcopacy is absent , no merits can qualify for communion . In a word , polity , not faith , is the basis unity . of The Bishop of Oxford is a powerful and eloquent opponent of the Papal claim , but his own doctrine of the episcopate differs only in degree . The Papalist and the Episcopalian agree in athrming the existence of a single polity bound on the Church by Divine appointment , and essential to its life . The Master ( Mr. W. J. Morley ) reported that there had been admitted to the house during the fortnight 5 , dead 1 , discharged 2 , remaining in the house 60 , corresponding period last year 67.

The Ludlow Fire Brigade , under Captain Packer , were called shortly before 9 o'clock and were soon on the scene . There was a scarcity of water at first , but by daming up a stream a good supply was obtained . The Brigade worked well and were able to save about 10 tons of hay . The cause of the fire was spontaneous combustion . The Brigade returned to Ludlow shortly before 9 . o'clock . PRESTEIGN . chev- UNLAWFUL USE OF MILITARY DECORATIONS . -At a special Police Court on Friday last , before Mr. Whitmore Green Price ( Chairman ) , Messrs . Richard Rogers and William Davies , Michael McCarthy , 38 , labourer , an ex - soldier , was charged by P.S. Higgins under the D.O.R.A. with wearing military decorations without authority . P.S. Hig- gins stated that on the previous day he saw de- fendant in Hereford Street wearing three gold stripes on his right arm and two overseas . rons on his left arm . He took him to the police station and on being asked why he was wearing the decorations defendant replied " For France , " but afterwards said " No , for South Africa . " Wit- ness replied " I have reason to believe that you decorations without authority " are wearing the and charged defendant , locking him up . In the cell prisoner said " I'll own up I am wrong . " Prisoner pleaded guilty , and the Chairman in sen tencing him to a month's hard labour said that this was a very serious offence and one for which they could have inflicted six months ' imprison- ment , but under the circumstances they should deal leniently with the defendant . COUNTY COURT . - Monday . There were no cases before the Judge , but several cases of an undis- puted character were dealt with by the Registrar , Mr. F. L. Green . STOKE PRIOR . COUNCIL SCHOOL . - The following report of the Scripture Examination held recently has been re- ceived : Old Testament , New Testament , Cate- chism , & c . , and Repetition , very good throughout . General remarks : I was very pleased with what I found in this School . The general tone and dis- , cipline are excellent and the children have been taught how the Scripture narratives apply . to their daily conduct . It was a real pleasure to listen to the hymn singing , the music so clearly interpreted the words , even the Infant Class sang with excellent taste and apparent under- standing of the wards they used . ( Signed ) , T. M. Newbery , Diocesan Inspector . SCHOLARSHIP . - Thomas A. Davies , a scholar in this School , has succeeded in passing the ex- amination for a free place in Leominster Grammar School . Cheney's Eczema Salve ANTISEPTIC . HEALING . For all kinds of Sores and Irritable Conditions of the Skin . PRICE 1/3 , Postage 3d .; SAMPLE BOX , 9d . , Postage 2d . CHENEY , CHEMIST , LEOMINSTER . MEAT TO BE 2d . PER POUND DEARER . Now that the quality of meat is improving , and the whole finance of the meat - rationing scheme is . being examined , it is certain that at an early date the Food Controller will have to announce an increase in the price of meat . The " Evening Standard " learns that this increase will probably be 2d . per lb. on all cuts . The necessity for increasing the price is due to circumstances which cannot be controlled on this side of the Atlantic . It is caused largely by the inter - relation of prices between Europe and America . Mr. Hoover's policy is to encourage supplies . It is better , he holds , to have a country wrestling with high prices than with hunger . Episcopacy may , or may not , be the form of ecclesiastical government which will finally win its way to universal acceptance . A Bishop may be pardoned for thinking that as it is beyond all question the most ancient , interesting , and elastic , so also it may be the most efficient polity which the experience of Christianity has disclosed . But its ultimate dominance will be based not on any doctrine of Divine Right , but on its ability to secure acceptance on its merits . For the rest , a federation of diversely ordered Churches may be a more effective instrument for expressing Christian unity than a single ecclesiastical dominion . Im- perialism may be as morally obsolete in the reli- gious as it is in the secular sphere . The war has proved the worthlessness of a merely political unity . So much at least the Pope has made clear by his " neutrality , " and thereby his Holiness has made unwittingly a notable contribution to reunion . complete ecclesiastical unity that which holds together all the spiritual subjects of the infallible Vicar of Christ has been powerless restrain the nationalist ardour of German Catholics , what reason is there for thinking that any looser unity of the same kind would have been more effective ? Were the Middle Ages , when external unity prevailed , marked conspicuously by the absence of war ? Does not Christian history provide a luminous and commentary on the Saviour's memorable disclaimer- " My kingdom is not of this world " ? We I have reached a critical stage , in relations with English - speaking non - Episcopalians . They have laid aside many alienating perjudices ; they have learned much from experience ; they are ready to meet the Mother Church of England with something to continuing as our Safety in Flight . By a R.A.F. Officer ... In England flying , under peace - time conditions is no longer looked upon as a perilous form of travel . The demands of war have evolved sater and stronger types of aeroplanes for which we might have waited many years , but for the urgent necessity of aircraft for war and the consequent lavish expenditure of national funds , Whatever dangers may be present in peaceful aviation nowadays they mainly exist when the machine is , comparatively speaking close to the ground and then accidents are genérally caused by faulty piloting or bad luck . Human errors in piloting can be corrected if the machines have sufficient height in which to recover equilibrium . Any modern machine will take itself out of a nose - dive , side - slip , or tailslide , it the pilot re- linquishes control and leaves the machine to right itself ; but there must be sufficient height - about- a thousand feet , more or less .. EL Given adequate height and judgment the forced landing , attendant on engine failure should bring the machine to earth undamaged . Bad luck comes in when an engine fails over unfavourable ground , mountains , with etc. , or when an aeroplane land nudercarriage is flying out at sea , or vice versa . If the airman is forced to descend through engine failure or other causes , the chances of a successful landing increase in proportion to his height . The angle of descent of any machine de- pends on its wing loading , i.e. , the total weight of the whole structure in proportion to the sup- porting powers of the total wing surface . The average biplane has an angle of descent of about 6 in 1 , or , for every foot or mile of height the machine will glide 6 feet or miles in a horizontal direction . If a mile high the pilot will have choice of landing on any spot contained within a circle of 12 miles diameter . As flying often takes place at 20,000 feet ( nearly 4 miles ) .a machine over known territory can generally rely on reaching a suitable landing place . Judgment is brought into play in the selection of good landing grounds ; skill , is necessary to " plane " to that spot . There can be only one attempt . Decision must be prompt , and , once made , an able pilot does not allow other likely spots to distract his attention from that which he has first chosen . He is losing height at the rate of over a thousand feet a minute , height which once lost cannot be regained . turns When an appreciable wind is blowing the pilot , whose engine " peter's out , " invariably down - wind , with the proviso in war flying that down - wind does not mean in the direction of the country behind the enemy lines . The reason for this is that with the added velocity of the wind , the machine , because of its greater speed over the ground , will glide over a greater length of territory than it would flying up - wind , and in the time taken for the descent , although the same in either case , a better choice of ground may be offered . The value of height is still more important in war - flying . The accuracy of anti - aircraft gun - fire diminishes in proportion to the height and all exponents of aerial combat prove the advantage of the upper gauge and advocated the adoption of hawk - like tactics . Certain it is that the airman uppermost is immune fiom attack or surprise from above . BOARD OF AGRICULTURE REPORT . WORCESTER , HEREFORD AND GLOUCESTER . Wheat has improved with is the rain , and strong , healthy , and ripening well . In some districts cutting has commenced . The yield is expected to be about 5 per cent . over average . Barley and oats have both improved during the month , but the reports are better from Worcester and Hereford than from Gloucester , where these crops are generally only fair . Some of the corn had been badly laid by the violent storms , and neither of these crops are expected to reach the average . Beans have been affected by blight , and the yield will be about 5 per cent . below the normal . Peas improved with the rain , and are generally a good crop , but the yield is not quite up to the average . The main crop of potatoes has been much bene fited by the rain , and is now very promising and free from disease . The early varieties suffered The Turnips and swedes are for the most part poor , having suffered badly from the drought , and much having to be resown . The later sown are more promising , and have improved with the rain , from the drought , and were , a light crop ... more than sympathy and good will . There is no limit to the possibilities of the yield of the late varieties is anticipated to be over ' average . fellowship in work and witness which might grow from a frank mutual recognition . But there is one essential ondition , bound upon non - Episco- palian Christians by every consideration of reason , of conscience , and of history - the honest accep- tance of the evangelical principle . There can be no going back to the old political conception of the Christian Church . I must not end without directing attention to the recent service in the nave of Canterbury Cathedral , organized ( as it is specifically stated ) with the Archbishop's approval . That Noncon- formist ministers should pray and preach on such an occasion in such a place is , indeed , an event of happy and far - reaching significance . Its effect for good will be felt in every parish in the coun- try . As one who for many years now , through ill the report and good report , has laboured for reconciliation of Anglicans and Nonconformists , I hail the omen , and am encouraged to go forward . MARKETING SURPLUS PRODUCE . INTERESTING RESULTS . up a Progress continues to be made towards the ideal set up by the Food Production Department , that every county in England and Wales should have a system of marketing which will obviate the necessity of single pound of food stuff being Nearly wasted for want of a satisfactory outlet . all the counties now have established a Co making ar- operative marketing Society , or are rangements to establish one , or have set provisional organisation of some kind in connee- tion with the County Horticultural Sub - Committee . In certain quarters there appears to be a dis- position to doubt the necessity for better arrange- ments for dealing with the surplus of the small grower . Indeed it has been argued that such sur- pluses only exist in a very few districts . The en- quiries of the Department do not confirm the lat- ter theory , although it is possible that in many cases the waste of fruit or vegetables in the past has been due to a lack of enterprise in the small grower as to the want of reasonable facilities for sale . Broadly speaking , a case for a co - operative , mar- keting society can be made out in every county . Advantage should accrue by the establishment of these Societies , alike to the consumer and the producer . An example of the potential benefit to the latter may be cited from Worcestershire . A small grower there had the fruit of four apple trees to sell . The best offer that he could obtain from a dealer was 38s . 6d . for the lot . Accord- ingly he got into touch with the Marketing Society , who offered his produce at the local auc- tion mart , where it fetched £ 11 17s . 6d . That the existence of additional marketing facilities will bring to the consumer large quan- tities of fruit and vegetables , the result of the bulking of the little surpluses of numerous small growers , is beyond doubt . This has just been proved at Farnham , among many other places . About 120 Farnham allotment men have recently put on the market , through the Surrey County Scheme , about 18 cwt . of raspberries , " which would not otherwise have found their way into the open market . " Similar examples might be multiplied in a number of counties and their moral is obvious . The 20 counties covered by registered societics or completely organised are Berks . , Anglesey , Den- bigh , Flint , Merioneth , Montgomery , Wilts , Salop , Somerset , Devon , Stafford , Warwick , Worcester , Suffolk , Surrey , West Kent , Essex , Nottingham and Norfolk . The 12 counties which are preparing to register Societies are Cumberland , Northants , Durham , Cornwall , Oxford , Pembroke , Gloucester , West Sussex , Cambridge , Cheshire , Glamorgan and Bucks . have . Counties which made arrangements for marketing but have not as yet registered Societies include Derby , Huntingdon , Yorks . , Hereford , Hants . , Rutland , Dorset , Cardigan , and East Sus- sex ; the counties which have arranged for local markets are Carnarvon , Cambridge , East Sussex and West Kent ; the counties considering ' prelimin- ary organisations comprise Radnor , Lincoln ( Kes- teven ) and Middlesex . is The only counties which have , so far as no action at all are Westmorland , known , taken Northumberland , Lancs . , Monmouth , Hertford , Bedford , Brecon and Carmarthen . A county Marketing Society has just been formed in Essex and it is hoped that a district depot will be started at Southend . HELPING ALLOTMENT HOLDERS . Although the Food Production Department is anxious , wherever possible , that would - be allotment holders should make their own friendly arrange- ments with the owners of land , its representa- tives are always ready to assist with advice in any case where difficulties may arise as to the amount of rent to be paid , or other matters . Last week , for instance in Cheshire , a representa- tive of the Department succeeded in obtaining a reduction of rent from £ 42 to £ 32 10s . for seven The acres of land held by an Allotment Society . Department has also been able to arrange for the continuance of tenancy in three instances where notice to quit had been served . APPLE PRICES . A slump at a sale of orchards of apples which took place at Taunton on Saturday is attributed to the statement that the Government are about to fix maximum prices for the main crop . Two orchards realised £ 200 , but prices in other cases were much lower , and several lots were with- drawn . Where there was a good plant mangolds have made good progress , but many fields are patchy . The yield of the latter is expected to be about 5 per cent . below the average . The hay harvest is nearly completed . The bulk of the crop was secured early and in good condi- tion , but that which had been cut and was still outstanding when the rain came has to some ex- tent suffered . The yield of seeds bay will be about average , but that of meadow hay 5 to per cent . below . The orchards are now . 10 is I there cleaner , but very little fruit on the trees . Pershore plumis in South Worcester will give a fair yield , but the yield of all orchard fruits generally is very poor , as has been that of small fruits . " Hops have improved since the rains , which have cleaned the bine and quickened the growtli . Insect pests have been more prevalent than usual , and washing has been general . It is expected that the yield will be better in Worcester than in Hereford , but the yield for the division is not expected to exceed three - fifths of a crop . are Pastures have nearly everywhere been much im- proved by the rain , and all classes of stock generally thriving and doing well . The supply of labour is short , but much assis- tance has been given by war agricultural volun- teers . HOME SAVED SEED POTATOES . Most potato growers are now agreed that " a change of seed always pays " ; but there are still sceptics who doubt the necessity of frequently re- newing their seed supply from outside , instead of relying mainly on seed from their own crops . To these , facts reported by the Food Production De- partment this week concerning the allotments at Ruskin Park , Camberwell , may be recommended for careful consideration . An inspection of the allotments showed that potato disease , is very prevalent there , and in certain cases the crop will be a partial failure . In most of these cases home saved seed was planted . On the other hand every plot planted with . seed from Scotland or Ireland direct looks well and none of them , up to last week - end , appears to have been affected by blight . IN A BLAZING BALLOON . Picut . ( T. - Capt . ) David Cockburn Bell , Middle- sex Regt . and R.A.F. , has been awarded the M.C. for conspicuous gallantry . When on observation . duty with another officer in a balloon , it was set on fire by an enemy machine .

" iwo 111 price 15 Mr. Clynes , the Food Controller , has caused letter to be sent to Mr. w . Holden , of the kaw- tenstall Food Committee , in whic ne explains Why certam arucies ot food are now Costing more . He regrets that these mereases have b come inevitable and he appreciates the narusmp annicted on the poorer classes of wage earners .. Cheese , he points out , is supplied frоm sources Home froduction and Imports , and , the case of home - produced cheese the dependent on the cost of milk . It was loung tnut the cost of production of milk and the alternative attractions of other methods of tuin- ing were such that unless the farmers were pard more there would have been grave danger of milk tamine . As a consequence it was necessary to increase the price of otherwise the cheese , milk would have been diverted to more profitable channels , with the result that a large quantity of cheese , waien is possibly the most Yaluabie form of milk preservation , woulu , have been Imported cheese , on the other hand , inust be bought in the open market at competitive prices , the cost of production in other countries has creased in the same way as in his country , conse quently a higher price has to be paid . The increase in the price of Jam is the inevit- able outcome of the lure o the druit crop . This , with the additional duty on sugar , means an increased manufacturing cost which has to be borne by the ultimate consumer . Margarine , which is absolutely controlled by the Ministry of Food from the import of the w materials to the delivery to the retailers , nas had to be put up in price owing to the rise in ne cost of the seeds , kernels and fats from which it is manufactured . Tinned fruits and tinned , meats are imported articles , and here again competitive prices have to be paid , while the small supply which tonnage permits means that the resultant cost of distribu- tion is greater than when a normal quantity handled . 15 Mr. Clynes assures the Committee that nothing has been left undone to secure the elimination of profiteering , and he expresses the view that the closer exammation of the factors governing prices will satisfy the Committee that such in- creases as have recently taken place are the re- sult of legitimate economic conditions , and that no share of them is going to the pockets out traders in this country . RICK FIRES . the Nationa SUGGESTIONS FOR SAFETY . Much greater loss is incurred by farmers . for Insurance Companies ) annually through rick res than is generally supposed . This year it is co pecially important that no part of 1ood supply should be needlessly endangered . It would appear that many stacks are lost as a re- sult of are through being built too close together , o and the Food Production Department is asking farmers to bear this fact in mind when harvest ing . The majority of farm fires seem to be origi nated by sparks from chimneys , railways or road engines , although a proportion of cases are que to the lighting of matches by tramps or children . Some of these risks may be unavoidable , and in certain counties damage by enemy aircraft must also be regarded as a possibility against which complete protection is not practicable . The danger of wholesale destruction of a farmer's stacks can , however , be greatly reduced if the ricks are not all built near together , as is so fre- quently the case . Among the recommendations that are made offi- cially or through the insurance companies I we notice a suggestion that no rick should be built within 60 yards of a railway line , road or chin- ney ; that it is advisable when there is pond available to build the stack fairly close to it ; that it is wise wherever this can be , done to distribute the ricks in various parts of the farm rather than build them all together in one yard ; that where stacks must be congregated as . much space as possible should be allowed between them so that in case of fire pumping apparatus can be brought in and the danger of one rick firing another be reduced . A leading insurance man , writing to the Food Production Department on the subject , visited several farms during the past says " I year where fires had occurred and quite a number of ricks had been destroyed through being placed , close together . " It may be a little inconvenient to the farmer to distribute his stacks over wider area , but in the view of the authorities this year the necessity of avoiding all likely sources of food this staff wastage ought to outweigh personal consideration , Poetry . THE CIPSY CONSCRIPT . In this terrible war was there ever a , fate So hard as the gipsy's borne off to the fight ? This type of the free man , free early and late , The child of the common , the bird of the night . O think of him uniformed , disciplined , drilled , Swept into a system he'd never have willed . Did he ever will anything , or did he drift Right onward through life like a leaf on a stream , Accepting the world as a wonderful gift , Where a free man may loiter and linger and dream , With no one to order and none to obey , Will he dream of the heath in the dark barrack room , Of the tent and his kindred , the food and the fire , The sound of the brook tinkling soft in the gloom , The glory of dawn and the birds in full choir , And wake to the horror of bloodshed and strife , Where a man loses freedom and may lose his life ? When he struggles and pants will he think of the past When he looked on at others who worried and strained About hay , corn and stock , skies clear or o'ercast , Saving up for a leisure he found all ungained , While he , free as air , lay his length in a ditch And envied no toiler , the poor or the rich ? When he comes back again and finds himself free Will he still be himself with the old jaunty air , And wander the lord of the open country , Or lead his old horse through the crowds of the fair , Illiterate , scorning all politics , creeds , A simple life soul with the simplest of needs ? Though centuries missed him , these few fateful years Have bound him at last to the swift whirling wheel , But heredity's strong , and it always appears . As fateful as force , as resiliant as steel . The gipsy will yet find his freedom and stroll Through life without burden or care on his soul . T. R. PHILLIPS . THREAD FROM GRASS ; SILK FROM FIR .
