NORTH HEREFORDSHIRE CONSTITUTIONAL ASSOCIATION . meet- The following resolutions were passed at a ing of the Committee on Friday , June 21st : - That this meeting , representative of the North Hereford Constitutional Association , views with grave concern the shortage of labour in this Agricultural Constituency owing to the recent calling up of so large a number of farm - hands . It protests most strongly against the further depletion of skilled agricultural labour , which must necessitate the gravest hardship being inflicted on the Food Producers , by depriving them , at a time when all expert workers are required , of their skilled men , which , in the majority of cases , It urges no imported labour can possibly replace . that greater consideration should be extended to the farmers by the Government or responsible authority and suggests that the pressure now being brought to bear on the County Agricultural Executive Com- mittees should be immediately relaxed if the maxi- mum harvests are to be secured . The Committee re- quests the Member , Mr. FitzHerbert Wright , to take the matter up very strongly in the proper quarter . " A copy of this resolution I was also sent to Right R. E. Prothero , M.P. , President of the Board of Agriculture , and Sir Arthur Lee , M.P. , Director General of Food Production . the to " That this meeting , representative of the North Herefordshire Constitutional Association , wishes call attention to the fact that the supply of Home Grown Beef and Mutton from the Rural Districts of Leominster should not be sent to other centres until the local needs are supplied . It would point out that owing to the bad Railway Service at the present time , the Chilled Meat allocated to the district often does not arrive in time for distribution , therefore hundreds of people who can only come into the town of Leo- minster once a week do not get any meat whatever . Further , owing to the acknowledged difficulty of trans- port , it should not be necessary to send local fed beef and mutton to South Wales and to receive in its absolutely place other supplies by rail , making two unnecessary removals and the attendant porterage . The Member for this Division , Mr. FitzHerbert Wright , is hereby requested to take up the question in such place as is required . A copy of the resolution was also sent to Mr. Clynes , M.P. ( who acts for Lord Rhondda ) , and the Chairman of the Local Food Control Committee . were WESLEYAN SUNDAY SCHOOL ANNIVESARY . The anniversary was held last Sunday . Delight- ful weather favoured the occasion . Three scrvices held , the Rev. Geo . Elliot Ice being the preacher morning and evening . In the latter ser- vice he took as his text Heb . 1 , 14 : " Are they not ministering spirits , " and under the three following headings showed the value of child - life to the world . ( 1 ) They are ministers of reproof . ( 2 ) Ministers of instruction . ( 3 ) Ministers of com- forts . In the afternoon service the Rev. H. S. Millward was the special speaker and delivered a very useful address on " The importance of home- training . " At . each service there was an excellent congregation and it was indicative of the spirit to see of unity among the churches so many visitors from the other societies and schools . Quite the feature of the day was the singing . Under the careful training of Mr. Buzza , helped by Miss Evans , as organist , and the officers and teachers , the elder scholars rendered a choice programme of music in a most creditable man- ner . Especially fine was the singing of Kipling's " Land of my birth , " and the last hymn in the evening service " Now the day is over . " . With equal credit to themselves and good reflection on Miss A. Colwell and her staff , was the performance of the children in the primary department . .In connection with this section of the school is the cradle - roll , with Mrs. Thomas as its devoted secre tary . distinct Altogether it was a success and must have been gratifying to Mr. Larcombe and Miss Jones , superintendent and secretary respec- tively .

Henry Preece , of Dilwyn , was summoned for assaulting Private John Morris , Royal Defence Corps , on May 10th . Mr. Wadsworth , of Hereford , appeared to prose- cute on behalf of the War Agricultural Committee . Defendant pleaded guilty . It was stated that John Morris was in charge of four German prisoners at Fields Place Farm . Defendant came to him about 3 p.m. in the field . A conversation took place in regard to their pre- vious service and defendant disputed complainant's statement that he had been overseas . Preece said he had been a sergeant and had seen 18 years ' service . A further dispute took place in regard to cider . Complainant then said " You have nothing to do with me in those clothes . " Just afterwards defendant struck him in the face and afterwards gave him a second blow , which knocked him down . He then found that his teeth were broken . Defendant turned round as he and went away said " If you stay there till I come back I will give you some more , " In reply to defendant complainant said the two jars he had did not hold 5 quarts each . Albert Edward Ballinger said his father farmed the Field's Place Farm . Defendant came to him between 6 and 7 p.m. and asked why he had re- fused his brother some cider He was very ex- cited and seemed half mad . His language was disgraceful . He said he had knocked one soldier down and he would serve him the same . Answering defendant witness said the jar which Morris had would only hold 3 quarts . Sergeant Christopher Webster , Commandant of the Prisoners ' Camp , said that when Moriis re- turned that evening with the prisoners he was perfectly sober . His face was much bruised and his mouth was bleeding . a Preece said he had an argument with Morris and in the heat of the moment he struck him blow . said Chandler and Henry they J. T Brookes took complainant some cider in a jar . They ad- mitted that defendant was under the influence of drink and was more quarrelsome than Morris .. The Chairman said defendant had no right whatever to be on the farm and should not have interfered with He , defendant , con- the guard . sidering his service ought to have known better . than to have acted as he did before the prisoners . Fined £ 2 . Stephen Maddy , painter , of Byford , was fined 59. for allowing two horses to stray on the high- way . Sun- Edwin Preece , of Broad Street , Hay , was moned for riding on the shafts of a dray at King's Pyon without reins .. P.C. Maine said defendant admitted he was doing wrong . Fined 2s . 6d . PRIMITIVE METHODIST CHURCH , WEOBLEY CIRCUIT . On Thursday , June 20th , after a period of seven years , the Rally was once more held at Chadnor Court , the residence , of Councillor F. and Mrs. Whiteman . Twelve months ago , on account of war conditions , it was thought inadvisable to hold the popular gathering of the churches . This year , however , the conclusion was reached that it should be held , and that it be a " War - time Rally . " Chadnor Court may not be so central for the Circuit as some other places , but it has many compensations . The buildings belonging to it give ample shelter in case of unpropitious weather . Thursday's weather was not ideal for the gather- arrangements were made to have all pro- ceedings under cover . The afternoon service com- menced at 3.15 . the preacher for the occasion be- ing the Rev. Arthur Wood , Pastor of Ford Street gave Primitive Methodist Church , Coventry , who a most excel'ent sermon from Hosea , 14th chapter , verses 5 and 6 . The The subject was Dew .. preacher used as did the nature as effectively prophet Hosea . He said the dew is a revelation of what God is . How full of refreshing energy ! It ing is to the ground and all nature what God should be to us . Quietly and silently during the night it falls . Its origin is heaven . Further , Mr. Wood gave interesting facts concerning the the lily , olive trees and the cedars of Lebanon . At 4-45 came the " Faith Tea , " when quite a large num- ber of hungry folk partook of provisions both tempting and abundant . Nothing had been or- dered for this tea , and yet there was no lack in any direction . The ladies presiding at the tables were : Mesdames George , A Davies , J. Davies , Herbert , Rees , Spicer , Rogers , Tarbath , Wellings , Harley Whiteman and Williams , the Misses Well- ings , N. E. F. and D. Whiteman . The evening meeting commenced at 6.15 by singing . Prayer was offered by Mr. G. Williams , of Almeley . Mr. James Price ( Circuit Steward ) then introduced to the congregation the Chairman , Mr. Andrew Dun- can , of Leominster . That gentleman commenced his address by stating that he was a member of the Church of England . He was , however , in in- very hearty sympathy with Nonconformity , cluding Primitive Methodism . He said one great need of the Church in these times was unity . The aim of the Free Churches and the Established Church was the same - it was to follow Christ and to work for him . When the war was over he hoped there would be only one Church . After the Chairman's speech Mr. W. Gregg , J.P. , of Weobley , was called upon to speak and he gave a brief and inspiring address . - The Rev. A. Wood was then called upon , and it was soon evident that thinking seriously respecting the he had been mighty struggle that is still going on after nearly Ludlow , Monday , General Market .

Christianity was not to be blamed for this . terrible war ; really Christianity had not been properly tried . In connection with the breakdown of civilisation there was a fine opportunity for the Churches . He pleaded for the organic union of the Free Churches , which would be a big step towards that union desired by the Chairman . He made a strong point of the establishment of League of Free Nations , which would do much to make war in the coming years an impossibility . At the close the Circuit Steward proposed a big vote of thanks , which had for its first item a sympathetic reference to the Rev. A. Warcup ( Cir- cuit Superintendent ) , who home kept at through illness . Excellent arrangements had been made by him for the Rally and it was hoped that he would soon be restored . Mrs. Warcup , who was present , was desired to convey this message . Also thanks were given to Councillor Whiteman , efforts to make everybody comfortable and happy . Then there were the ladies who presided at the tables ; donors of provisions and cash ; Mr. W. Gregg as organist , etc .; the speakers and Chair- man . This was carried with enthusiasm . A friend had met the cost of bringing the Rev. A. Wood from Coventry - other usual items of outgo were not charged , so there were absolutely no expenses .

The re- ceipts show a smaller balance of £ 400 and that a ld . rate increase which means an increase in the rate from 5d . to 6d . for the half - year . They had gone carefully into the estimates and they could do nothing else but increase the rate The Clerk said the estimate was for Union purposes only . He had not had the County Rate sent down yet . He had heard that it would be more than last time . Mr. Twiddy said the Overseers would have a diffi- culty in getting the first call in time . The Clerk said that he had not made out the pre- cepte as he had not got , the County Rate . Mr. Peele moved the adoption . Mr. Wyile seconded . The Chairman said it was important that they should know that the County Rate was not in this estimate and that they should know that the rates would be increased as the County Rate would be higher . Samuel Goorge James stated he lived at Stanton Lacy . The estimates were adopted . On the day in question he went up into the field and saw the aeroplane on the ground ; there were a good He assisted the aviator to turn many people there . the propellor .

He did not see it hit her but he had no doubt it did hit her . If the machine had gone straight it would not have hit her . He saw a little boy come from underneath the aeroplane after the accident happened but he did not think he was hurt . The aviator had told the people more than once to stand back . There was no one in the aeroplane and no one was holding it except the aviator and himself . When witness heard the engine start he cleared out . He did not know anything about an aeroplane . He did not see anyone at the tail . He saw a stay was broken underneath , before he tried to start the last time .

He heard some screaming from the lookers on , and a little boy , deceased's brother , crawled out from under the machine . He then heard someone was under the machine . He went at once to the front and saw the girl . They could not stir the machine . He found the it .

She was quite dead . She had a terrible injury to her head where she must have been struck by the propellor . The machine did not go more than three or four yards , it seemed to wobble round rather than make any direct movement . The engine was pointing North and went round to point West . The tail went round It did not rise at all . The engine only went for a short time . Anyone near the machine could feel the suction . This was the first time they had had an aeroplane down in that part and they were all interested in it and were pretty near , examining it . When it started some were very near , but drew away from it . He saw that part of the under carriage was broken . He saw the aviator look round the machine several times . By a Juryman : It was certain the machine did not run into the deceased ; it might have been the suction from the propellor . The machine swerved from the girl , and must have drawn her in . He did not see her sucked in . No one saw how it happened , it was all too quick . By Major Impey : He felt the suction which seemed to draw him towards the propellor . It did not blow his hat off . some Major Impey said there was mistake here . There was no suction . He called 1st Class A. M. Graves who said there was no suction . No one behind could feel any . If anyone was in front it would drive them away . Major Impey : If a girl was standing at the side she would not feel the suction . - No , clothes would not affect it .

The machine ran along the ground for about ten yards and suddenly banged into something . He believed it was a brook and it broke part of the under carriage . The field was not level . There were some big drops in it . After banging into the brook the machine ran practically the length of the field , bumping on the ground , and then stopped . He got out and turned the petrol off and switched the magneto off and then had a look at the engine and found the trouble was the carburetta . He put it in working order and attempted to start the engine with the intention of taking it away . He made several attempts to start the engine but was unsuccessful . Before he tried to start the engine he told the people to get right away from the front of the machine . He tried the engine again and it started and as soon as it started it swung round on the left wheel to the left and then stopped and tilted on its nose . He ran towards the propellor COUNTY POLICE COURT . Saturday , before Mr. E. T. Evans . A DESERTER .

The injury to the undercarriage might pre- vent the aeroplane rising , properly , but it would rise . best prices : - He knew it would not rise properly . He did take pre- cautions to keep the people back . He told them to stand back . It was usual to have someone to hold the tail of the machine . The engine was 80 horse- power . He did not think it necessary to get anyone to hold the tail , as the throttle was only half open . This was the third time he had been in difficulties . He was not in the aeroplane after it started . There was danger of the machine going away without him , but the throttle was only half open . The people were about ten yards from the side of the machine in places . He thought that a safe distance , as if the machine started it would go straight in front . He had a clear course in front , By Major Impey : The damage to the undercarriage would cause the machine to turn . He thought the people were sufficiently far enough away and out of danger . He was at the side when the machine , slued away and it passed right over his head . He ducked on the ground and it did not touch him . He did not feel any suction .

The report was issued on Monday night of the Sub - Committee appointed by the Committee , on Production and Distribution of Milk to consider , at Lord Rhondda's request , details of the Com mittee's recommendation that the Government should take over the direct control of the whole sale collection , utilisation , and distribution of milk . The Sub - Committee recommend that for purposes of distribution Great Britain should be divided into suitable areas , each in charge of a milk superintendent . acting under instructions of the central authority in London , with a separate ad- visory committee for Scotland . A national milk clearing house should be set up in London to con- trol the wholesale trade of the country and employ licensed wholesale dealers as authorised wholesale agents . The clearing house should take existing contracts between wholesalers and produ- cers and retailers . Manufacturers of milk products should be authorised to act as wholesale agents and manufacture under the direction of the clear- ing house . " I over A proposal adopted by the majority of the sub- committee recommends that the Government should obtain an option to purchase businesses of I wholesale traders in view of the ultimate necessity of the State becoming the sole wholesaler of milk . The General Committee , however , are not prepared to agree to the desirability of purchase without further evidence , but suggest an immediate Gov- ernment enquiry into this matter , and the ques- tion of compensation to interests concerned for any damage done to them by control , without actually purchasing such interests , THE SALE OF MILK . The Food Controller has issued a general license under the Milk ( Summer Prices ) . Order 1918 , authorising until further notice the sales of milk by the pennyworth or twopennyworth and sales of any fraction of a gill , pint , quart , or gallon , provided that the maximum price is not exceeded . AUSTRIAN RETREAT . THE PIAVE RIVER AGAIN RISING .. The Central News says : The latest despatches from the Italian front which have been received in London carry the position up to six o'clock on Monday evening . They leave the situation . somewhat obscure . Fighting is proceeding in the mountains to the left of the Montello , and the Italians are approaching Montebello and Monte Asoloni . The Austrians are putting up a stubborn resistance , but the action appears to be going in favour of the Allies . Progress is reported and prisoners have been taken . In the Piave sector the Austrians have abandoned the whole of the river bank , and returned to the positions from which they launched their offensive . The sweep- ing up operations of the Italians are unforturately being hampered by the state of the Piave , which is once more in flood . The bridges have in some cases been washed away , hampering the steady flow of troops and supplies . News from the far side of the river is conse- quently meagre , but in view of the rise of the Piave it is thought that the Italians will not embark upon operations on a large scale east of the bridges . a a Uni- In many directions he was busy man and always kept in view some ultimate good .

It was announced on Saturday that the Ministry of National Service had made arrangements to enrol certain older men of Grades 1 and 2 and men of Grade 3 for work of national importance , including agricultural work , provided , of course , that the men are suitable for the particular work they will be required to fulfil . In certain quarters this announcement seems to have been interpreted as meaning that every Grade 3 man of any age , every Grade 2 man over 35 , and every Grade 1 man over 45 would automatically be exempted from military service . This , of course , is not the case , and the actual position is as follows : Only such men who can qualify for work on the land and who are accepted by an employer for a specific job will be actually enrolled as War Agricultural Volunteers pro- vided they are in Grade 3 , or , if they are in higher grades , provided they are over 45 at the time they apply for enrolment . Men will be enrolled for work as War Work Volun- teers Ordinary Class " provided they are in Grade 2 and were over 45 on January 1st , 1918 , or are in Grade 3. Men will be enrolled for work as War Work Volunteers Z Class " provided they are ( a ) in Grade and were over 45 on January 1st , 1918 ; ( b ) in Grade 2 and were over 35 on January 1st , 1918 ; and ( c ) in Grade 3. ( all ages ) . The Ordinary Class is for less arduous kinds of work .. con- The " Z Class , " which will be open under presentar- rangements until September 1st , is for work demanding greater physical strength . So long as the men tinue in employment as War Agricultural Volunteers or War Work Volunteers they will be protected from military service . Particulars of the War Agricultural Volunteer scheme can now be obtained at the Employment Exchanges and Particulars the Agricultural Executive Committees . with regard to the revised War Work Volunteers scheme will also be available at the Employment Exchanges . in a few days .

By Major Impey : He had never seen anyone attempt to go up in a machine that had not been examined and was damaged . He did not think it necessary to wire for help for the damaged part of the machine . It was entirely on his own responsibility that he started on the machine . The Coroner said that was all the evidence . The people would get near the machine and no doubt it was an error of judgment on the part of the aviator . But he was quite young , himself . The jury returned a verdict that , deceased was acci- dentally struck and killed by the propellor of an aeroplane . Major Impey said that on behalf of the Colonel and himself and the Royal Air Force , he wished to say how very much they regretted this accident had occurred and to express their deepest sympathy with the parents of the deceased in their sad trouble .
