BLACK PUDDINGS BY THE TON . HOW TO PRESERVE FRUIT AND VEGETABLES , EVERY POTATO IS WANTED . If England is going to be . fed sufficiently during the next . twelve months we must concentrate more on the potato than on any other crop . This is the opinion of Sir Charles Bathurst , who speaks the bare truth when he says that " we shall want every potato that we can grow this year . " that When those best qualified to judge tell us during the next twelve months we may have to cat potatoes instead of bread , we must do our very utmost to make certain that we have the necessary potatoes . Potatoes have saved Germany from starvation - it is for us to recognise the potato as a very serviceable ally , and to plant accordingly . No one can foretell whether our next harvest will be a good one or a bad one and at any rate , while hoping for the best we must prepare for the worst . We cannot grow too many potatoes . Even if the unexpected happened , and we produced more potatoes than wefe necessary for human food , the surplus would serve a variety of useful purposes . including the providing of food for pigs and alcohol fo motor spirit . While every county ought to be self - supporting in the matter of potatoes , it must be pointed out that last year Yorkshire and Lancashire between them consumed nearly 200,000 tons more . potatoes than they produced . No county can pro duce too many potatoes . Potatoes may , in the leaner months ahead stand between us and starvation . Every Hun . peck will help to beat Hunger - and the THE NEEDS OF THE BRAIN WORKER . When the extra rations for heavy manual labourers were granted a cry arose as to the needs of the brain workers , and many people claimed that the Han who worked hard with his brain required as much food as the manual worker . Professor E. H. Starling , the eminent physiolo gist , brushes aside that claim . The brain worker , " he says definitely , " requires no more food than if he sat still and did nothing , though , in order that he should do his work well , he re- quires good food . But this does not mean that he should receive the supplementary rations of fat bacon that are to be distributed to the heavy workers . The brain worker may be left to look after himself He prides himself on belonging to the more intelligent part of the community ; as such he should be able to adapt himself to th . new conditions . He generally has a cook who can serve up the available foodstuffs in a nutritious and palatable form ; if he has to make more use . of potatoes and carrots he is not limited to plain boiled , as are so many of the labouring classes , but he can have them made up and disguised in all kinds of ways . He is also more capable providing himself with unrationed foods - eggs , a form . of fresh and dried fish of all sorts , cocoa butter , etc. , and his women folk should have sufficient intelli- gence to see that he is properly fed , i.e. , given a moderate diet in digestible I should never advise the Ministry that the brain worker requires special consideration in the distribution of food . The Ministry has to look after those sec- tions of the population who are not capable or are not in a position to look after themselves , and in this respect I think it will be agreed that Lord Rhondda has been eminently successful . " In spite of the great shortage of the essential foodstuffs in this country , it cannot be said that woman , or child has gone hungry or has been deprived of the food necessary for their health and efficiency . " any man , OBEY CHEERFULLY . past The number of new orders by the Food Con- troller during the twelve months averages about one a day . " This statement is made in the food manual ( comprising two volumes weighing three pounds issued by the Government , and gives a slight idea of the constant restrictions and difficulties with which officials , tradesmen , and the public have to contend . But each and all who are confronted with irksome orders in relation to the manufacture , sale , purchase or consumption of foodstuffs must obey theu cheerfully and philoso- phically , for only through a ready compliance with the Food Controller's orders can the work of the Ministry of Food succeed . Every order issued by Lord Rhondda is made with the sole object of meting out justice and fair ness all round , of so conserving our limited food supplies that danger of starvation may be averted , and the country led safely through the lean months of Peace - and to the Ilenty will eventually follow it . which Traders are much more harrassed by problems of control and restrictions than are the genera public , and their patriotic duty is so to acquaint themscives with the new orders that they have a clean sheet to show . ily no make currant , The baker for instance must milk , or any fancy bread , mutins and crumpets , tea cakes , and pastries ; must not make buns , cakes , biscuits . and scones , except of prescribed in gredients ; may use flour only for bread except under an expensive licence ; must not use icing- sugar ; and must use potatoes for breadmaking if so ordered by he Food Control Committee . Milk retailers must not use bottles or cans with another trader's mark 2011 them , Arrowroot , tapioca , sago , etc. , must not be used except for human food . Ice - cream is forbidden .

HINTS TO JAM MAKERS . Try to save sugar from your weekly will not be considered as hoarding . ration . It It will not be counted against you when the extra supply of sugar for your home - grown fruit is given cut . There is no intention of cutting down the present sugar ration , but extra sugar for jam will only be granted to people who grow their own , fruit . Permits to buy extra sugar will be sent to all fruit - growers who have already applied . Permits in most cases will not be issued before June 8th . There will be two forms of permits -- one for soft fits and one for hard . The first , for soft fruits , will be availabie from June 8th till July 31st . The second permit , for hard fruits , will be avail- able from August 1st to September soth .. Soft fruits are those which are normally ready for preserving before the end of July , and may in- clude ritubarb . Hard fruits are those which are ready for preserv ing after July 31st BLACK PUDDINGS BY THE TON . puddings are the latest our National Larder . sausages food allies to The National Black strengthen Meat Products Factory , controlled by the Ministry of Food , which has now been working for some weeks , is producing daily about a ton of " Black Puddings " and made mainly from " offal ' which formerly was generally destroyed . as waste , but which has a real food value . These puddings , which are manufactured of pure , whole- some and nutritious ingredients , are submitted to a careful scientific test before use , and enjoy the privilege of being exempt from coupon restrictions . They have a higher nutritive value than ordinary pork and beef sausages , as bread is not used in their composition . The Black Pudding has always been a favourite dish among the industrial classes in Lancashire , and North country folk are sound judges of what is both tasty and wholesome . One would hardly associate romance with these prosaic puddings , but the following little true story has a pretty touch about it which is tainly akin to romance . cer- A Lancashire lad ¡ ying wounded in a French hospital assured his nurse that next to getting anything anyone , back to Blighty he would like above else to taste once more one of the famous black puddings from Bolton , The wish was a simple enough one , and the nurse determined to do her best to make it come true , especially as she had Moft corner in her heart for this particular cheery young warrior from the North country . Without confiding her intentions to the nurse got a friend in Manchester to post her half a dozen puddings- " the real goods . " The evening of their arrival , bearing from Bolton , she approached the wounded man's bed . " How's that , Tommy ? " she asked , proudly holding out before his astonished eyes the six black puddings . His delight , which in itself was reward enough for her thoughtful act , bounded . " Black puddings from Bolton ! Why , urse , you're an angel ! " he exclaimed . the treasure was 1 ! 11- HOW TO PRESERVE FRUIT AND VEGETABLES . The season is now fast approaching , " writes Lady Glover , of the Food Production Department , " when the preservation of fruit and vegetables should be seriously considered , and all preparation made for doing so by the time they are to be had in large quantities , which is only during the Fhort period that each variety comes into season , and is at its full height of perfection . It is wise , therefore , to learn the best methods of drying , bottling , and canning , so as to preserve as much s possible of the surplus produce for winter use . The home drying process is simple one and costs practically nothing to carry out , for the dry- ing trays can easily be made at home by nailing together four wooden laths to form a square , then stretching across wire gauze , canvas or hessian that has been previously washed , and fastening it securely in its place with small nails . The dry- ing can be done in any moderately warm oven , the door of which should always be left a little ajar to permit a current of air to pass through . The trays could also be placed on the plate rack , or below it in the case of old - fashioned fireplaces , ong as there is no smoke and the vegetables are not put close enough to the fire to scorch them . Any kind of fruit or vegetables can be dried in this way , and if they are not sufficiently done after , being all night in a cool oven they can be put in again when the day's cooking is over or at any other convenient time . The dried vegetables 1C- SO OPTICAL DISTANCE NEAR THE KINGTON TIMES , MAY 11 , 1918 . DEPARTMENT .

Chemists , GERMANY GOES ON WITH THE GAMBLE . WILL FIGHT TILL AUTUMN . Reporting from Rotterdam to the " Telegraph , " Leonard Sprag says that reliable information com- pels the conclusion that the whole energies of the rulers of Germany are still concentrated on an effort to end the war by the gamble in the West , and that that effort is of a magnitude and deter mination which it is dangerous to under - estimate . Ludendorff's objectives still are the separation of the Allied armies , the driving of the British from the Channel ports , and the destruction of France's fighting power . Tremendous as were the initial measures , they have been widened and strengthened ever since the beginning of the offensive . The German General Staff have made still greater demands on their allies , a very large number of Austrians , and a certain number of Bulgarians and Turks being employed in Germany to liberate German troops for service on the Western front . While the military chiefs hoped for a complete break - through in March , they had ready alternative plans , which are now being put into operation , in case such a decision should be unachieved . This view is supported by other well - informed opinion here , which holds that Ludendorff is prepared to maintain the struggle into the autumn if necessary . NATIONAL WOOL COLLECTION . NOTICE TO CHILDREN . Wool is much needed for making clothing and warm blankets for our sailors and soldiers . Will children , or anyone , do this little bit of Voluntary War Work , and help to keep up the supply by gathering the tufts of sheep's wool left on hedges , moors , and hundreds of other places ? Last year the collection of wool was a great suc- cess and it is hoped that this season even a larger amount may be saved . Now is the moment to do this , before the sheep have lost their winter fleeces . The wool need not be cleaned in any way , Fut thorns , sticks and bits of wire ought to be re- moved . Wool should be sent to Lady Amherst , Sheep's Wool Depot , 23 , Queen's Gate Gardens , London , S.W. THE RATION BOOK . Drapers Lane , LEOMIN STER HOUSEHOLDERS NOT ALLOWED TO CHANGE ng te quire to be soaked before nsing , and should be boiled in the water they are soaked in . The time they should soak depends upon the kind of veget- ables , and whether they have been a dried ; they require more time if they have become , hard . When cooked according to directions they are nearly as good as the fresh article ; peas and beans should be soaked till they become soft . " The green gooseberry season is now at hand , and bottled gooseberries and rhubarb could be done before the soft fruit season begins , also as- paragus , which is excellent bottled . French beans and peas come later and then there will be a large selection and a great variety of all kinds of garden produce waiting to be dried , bottled , and canned for winter use . So it is well to have the bottles ready and to see that the rubber rings are in order before the fruit season is toe far advanced . " . READY MADE DISHES . One of the many useful things accomplished by Naitonal Kitelens is that , by setting out ready- made dishes , they , teach people to eat food which they have never ventured on before . We are a very conservative nation in the matter of meals , and even all these years of war have not taught Some people to try new ways of cooking . For one reason , of course , poor people cannot afford to experiment with strange ingredients , and are afraid venture on new recipes for fear of mak- ing uneatable dishes . So they keep to the food which they know they like , rather than launch out on to the unknown . But at the National Kitchens they ' have the chance to see just how a new dish looks , and the appetising smell often tempts them to buy and try . The average work- ing woman would treat with indifference a vege- tarian recipe , but when a dish of savoury rice or lentil croquettes is set before her she finds them really attractive . " Just one helping for twopence won't do any harm , " she argues , so she tries the new dish , and generally is so pleased that she comes back for more . At the present crisis , when our ordinary foods are the things that are short . it is of the utmost importance that everyone should learn to eat and like vegetable dishes . DIG , BOYS , DIG ! " I have found that my gardening squad , " writes the headmaster of a large secondary school , " is in great request amongst all the neighbours who have small holdings and allotments . I have four classes of people to consider in arranging for this little enterprise :-( 1 ) The Government ; that ( 2 ) The parents ; who ( 3 ) The boys ; that they may not be overworked or catch cold . I may not lose my grant . have paid for the schooling ( 4 ) The allotment holder ; that he may get good value for the 3d . per hour which he pays . that I to " Without going into details , let me say usually send out squads of four boys , ages 14 17 , under command of a fifth who has been taught the use of the various gardening tools . They work for two hours at a stretch on three days in the week in school time , and may also work on Saturday afternoons if they elect to do so . Each boy receives 3d . per hour , the money being kept by the boy or handed to Red Cross Funds , just as he likes . " I have found that the boys thoroughly enjoy the work , which benefits their health ; that their parcuts like them to do it , and that the knowi edge of gardening fertilisers , and plants which they pick up is of a highly educational value . I insist that they are used solely to help in food production . Needless to say , the school has first call on any surplus vegetables the allotment holder produces , and this has at times been very useful to 11s . In the summer acations some of our boys have , under the supervision of a junior master , formed camps in the heart of the fruit - growing districts , Kent and Worcestershire , and spent the whole of their holidays , with much satisfaction to the growers and to themselves , in picking , packing , and sorting fruits . I With a very little oversight and organisation we have found suitable work for every boy who volunteered , and after three years ' experience the summer camp is this year likely to be more popular than ever . " " CORN IN GRASS . " Recently articles have appeared in several papers describing the experiment made by a South of Eng land agriculturist in growing hay and corn gether ; corn being drilled into unploughed land , eaten off , and then allowed to the following summer for reaping as to grass grow again a corn crop , a hay crop being taken from the same land in the same summer .. The Food Production Depart- ment has been mentioned as being in some way En- or another associated with the experiment . quiry at the office of the Department , however , elicits the fact that nothing is known of the ex- periment except that it is still in a very carly stage and that no results have yet been attained that would warrant the claims put forward . The experience of farmers in all parts of the country have shown that corn crops are injured by the competition of grasses ( twitch , bent , & c . ) during their growing period . About a year ago an appli- cation was made to the Department for a permit to manufacture a machine for this experiment , and the Department , not desiring to stand in the way of any experimental work which did not impose a burden on the national resources , raised no objec tion to the making of the machine in question . This circumstance , however , does not carry with it any endorsement of the remarkable claims lately put forward . LETTERS FROM A GERMAN PRISONER . an лего- an was one of the SHREWSBURY FARMER SENT TO PRISON . At Shrewsbury on Tuesday , Walter Henry Booton ( 55 ) , farmer , was sent to prison for one month , it being alleged that he had assisted the enemy . Booton was employed to do hauling at drome where German prisoners were employed , and he was seen by a works foreman to receive envelope from one of the prisoners , and the guard was informed . The letter in the envelope addressed to defendant's daughter . Defendant said some months ago prisoners pushed a letter through a crack in his barn , but it only contained a lot of rubbish about wanting see his daughter . He did not inform the guard of this first letter , but he cautioned his daughter not to have anything to do with the Germans . -Ethel Booton denied that she had had anything to say to the Germans . She thought they must have got to know her name by hearing the guard address her . The Mayor expressed the opinion that there was more in the case than had transpired in Court . POTATO PLANTING . WHERE CORN HAS FAILED . Cases are being reported to the Food Production Department where corn after grass has been badly damaged by wireworms . Where there is no chance of saving the first crop , farmers are strongly urged to substitute one of another kind . On friable , free- working soils every effort should be made to plant potatoes . It is not yet too late . Potatoes may be planted with good prospects of success , up to the middle of May or even later . Good Scotch and Irish seed is still available , and land of the kind indicated can be readily prepared and cheaply manured . From to i cwt . of sulphate of am- monia and 2 to 3 cwt . of superphosphate per acre should ensure a satisfactory crop . If difficulty in regard to the supply of labour and machinery or of seed potatoes is experienced , application should at once be made to the County Agricultural Execu tive Committee . we SUCCESSFUL RAIDS BY FRENCH . Paris , Monday . In the course of the night successfully carried out two surprise attacks to the left of Hangard as well as two S.E. of Noyon , and brought back prisoners . on The enemy after violent bombardment , attempted to reach our lines to the S.W. of Anchren larm , " but completely failed and left , numerous dead the ground . In Champagne . one of our detachments . pene- trated the German organisation in the region north of Loiere ( west of Rheims ) . After a lively combat , in the course of which serious losses were in- fiicted on the enemy , the detachment returned to its lines bringing back a quantity of material . In Lorraine , in the region of Avancourt , one of our reconnoitring detachments took some prisoners . In fighting we sustained no loss . There is nothing to report on the rest of the front . THE BUTTER RATION . NOT TO BE INCREASED DURING THE SUMMER . Mr. Clynes , in reply to a question in the Com- mous on Monday , said that arrangements were be- ing made to allow for the purchase , of butter for preserving purposes beyond the rationing allow ance . It was not proposed to increase the ration of butter and margarine during the summer months . TRADESMEN INDISCRIMINATELY . People must not imagine , states the Ministry of Food , that because they have to re - register when the general rationing scheme comes into force in , July they will be allowed to change their tradesmen indiscriminately . Some good reason will have to be given before a change can be sanctioned . It is possible now , it was pointed out , for a person who is dissatisfied with the manner in which she is served , or on some special grounds , to be transferred to another tradesman , with the permis- sion of the local Food Committee . One of the chief grounds for transfer already is that many persons have changed their houses and localities since the rationing scheme was settled . BACON IN PLENTY . There is now plenty of bacon in the country , and the Ministry of Food hope that it will become a standing dish at hote's and restaurants . Under the new coupon value tor bacon quité a substantial ineal should be obtained for half a coupon . THE GOVERNMENT TRACTORS . The Fordson tractor is now being used in many counties and is generally approved by agricultural opinion as a most useful tractor , especially for culti- vation . In Oxfordshire Fordson ploughed 7 acres in one day of ten hours ; in Herefordshire another Fordson has been kept at work on fields . that other makes of tractor could not touch . " In the Hollond ( Lines . ) area and elsewhere the Titan has Been doing very good work all the winter . In the Hollond district in the week ending April 19th a Titan disc harrowed acres and cultivated 20 acers with a heavy drag and duckfoot harrow . This is approximately equal to 54 acres ploughed in the week . an 41 AN INTERESTING EXPERIMENT . On the County Council farm at Hutton ( Lanes . ) . interesting experiment in late - season potato planting is being carreid out this year under the supervision of Dr. Milburn , the County Agricultura Adviser . A meadow of 2 acres has been selected and is being broken up for potato cropping . Each one - fourth of the area is to be treated on one of the following lines : ( 1 ) The land skimmed and the sod worked and afterwards ploughed under before ridging up and planting ; ( 2 ) Trench ploughed , ridged up , and planted in the ordinary way ; ( 3 ) Ploughed 4 inches deep and potatoes planted in the bottom of every third furrow ; ( 4 ) Potatoes planted on the sod on the lazy - bed system . MILITARY SERVICE . to THE CASE OF THE LAND WORKERS . The Director - General of Food Production has sent a circular letter Agricultural Executive Committees in England and Wales dealing with the effect of the Royal Proclamation of April 20th upon labour for the land . He points out that all . certificates of exemption or protection granted or reviewed to men employed in agriculture who are medically classified , Grade 1 or Category A , or who have not yet been medically graded or classified , cease to have effect as from April 29 , provided such men were born in the years 1895 , 1896 , 1897 , 1808 , or 1899. Applications for certificates of exemp tion in special cases may be made in respect of such men provided that it is established to the satisfaction of the County Agricultural Executive Committee concerned that they are " highly skilled agricultural workers , whole - time employed on farm on farm work , that they are irreplaceable and essential to the cultivation of the farm . " Applica tions must be lodged with the Apeal Tribunal not later than May 15. They will not be considered a by the Appeal Tribunat unless accompanied by a declaration from the County Agricultural Executive Committee ; therefore applications must be submitted in the first instance direct to the Executive Com- mittee for the area in which the men are employed . Dealing with the question of what constitutes " employment whole - time on a farm on farm work , " the Director General quotes the definition officially accepted last year : " Employment whole - time on a farm on farm work is intended to cover the pro- duction of essential food supplies , and therefore in- cludes the work of men whole - time employed on a market garden for the production of food of a kind and quantity of national importance . It is not to include work on a poultry farm or on a market garden for the production of flowers or fruit . Farm work covers the employment of men in agriculture as thatchers , or as drivers of engines , or motor tractors ( including tractor ploughmen ) ; but these ) men , as others , must comply with the conditions stated above if vouchers are to be issued in respect of them . " This definition remains in force . The General decision of the Cabinet , " the Director - General continues , " is that men of the ages and medical standards covered by the Procla- mation are to join the Colours . An exception to this rule is to be made only if it can be shown that special conditions prevail , and therefore it must be proved , in the case of an agricultural worker , that it is in the national interest that he should be al- lowed to continue in his civil employment , taking due account of all other possible measures for carrying on the work which is being done by him . " CHECK ON PAPER WASTE . FAR - REACHING ORDER TO BE ISSUED . NOTEPAPER RATIONS ? Letter - writers may find themselves severely rationed in the near future . The Paper Controller is casting a censorious eye upon the large number of business men and private letter - writers who are still using one side of the paper only , frequently with second leaves entirely blank , and who are enclosing their correspondence in envelopes much bigger than necessity demands . Exactly how the offenders are to be dealt with is un- certain at present . but they may find this form of waste prohibited by an Order , to be issued shortly . making it a punishable matter to contravene regulations . NEW REGULATIONS . certain It will be laid down , among other things , that : - There are to be no new cigarette pictures . Music must be printed on half the present space . Theatre programmes must be reduced by half . No confetti are to be used . The size of circulars and catalogues must be reduced . Parcels must be wrapped more lightly . Superfluous wrappings , as in the case of proprietary goods already packed in paper , will be prohibited . tion TENBURY PARISH COUNCIL . THE CEMETERY QUESTION . STILL IN ABEYANCE . The condition of the Parish Churchyard ' has made it obvious for some time that further provision must be made for internments . So full has the present burial ground become that it is necessary to probe with an iron bar to discover where the ground is solid . The feeling of a great number of parishioners is that such steps should be taken as will meet the requirements of the parish for an indefinite length of time . Therefore it is thought advantage should be taken of the Burials Act to provide a public cemetery of such dimensions as will impose no limitations on future generations . On the other hand there is a disposition among many that the present burying ground should be extended . For this purpose it is possible to secure half an acre of land belonging to Mr. J. E. Godson at an approximate cost of £ 250 . It is rumoured that a lady has offered £ 100 towards this and that £ 50 would be refunded of the purchase money . The Vicar would be prepared to make himself , responsible for the remainder . The matter came before the annual Parish Meeting when Mr. H. T. Nott moved that the Burials Act be adopted . In regard to the provision of a chapel that could stand over for the time being . The resolution was carried by a substantial majority . A subsequent meeting was held at which the following were present : Messrs . W. S. Davies ( Chairman ) , W. Ashley , C. Anthony , A. S. Miles , G. Wheeler , T. Cooke , and S. Mattock . The Chairman stated the object of the meeting and said that he had invited the Vicar of Tenbury to be present for the purpose of making a statement in refer- ence to enquiries he had made since the last meeting of the Council Permission having been given , the Rev. W. H. Murray Ragg stated that he had sent about 350 circulars to the ratepayers in the Parish inviting their opinion as to whether they would prefer an extension to the Churchyard or a separate burial ground . He had received 166 replies in favour of the extension , 29 in favour of a separate burial ground , 23 were re- turned undelivered , which left 132 who had not ex- pressed an opinion either way . In view of these figures he and the Churchwardens felt justified in proceeding with the extension . The Vicar's communication to the ratepayers was Burial Ground . As at present responsible for burial ground in this parish , I desire to obtain the views of the ratepayers on the question . Extension of Church- yard : to provide for 50 years burials , will mean voluntary subscriptions of at least £ 150 for fencing , etc. , ( the price of the land having been met by three promised subscriptions ) . Provision of a Cemetery outside the town is the alternative , and would fall on the rates . The cost is somewhat uncertain , but with a Chapel ( which some regard as unnecessary ) would probably be at least £ 1,200 . ( It is possible that Baylie's Charity might help either scheme ) .- W . H. Murray - Ragg , Vicar . The Clerk stated that he had received a letter from the Local Government Board informing them that if a poll on the question should be necessary , it would have to be taken on the 1915 register . Ang expenditure on a new burial ground was deprecated . " Mr. A. S. Miles moved : That in view of the probable extension of the Churchyard at an early date it is not desirable to take any steps towards the adoption of the Burial Acts for the parish . It was seconded by Mr. R. C. Morris . An amendment was proposed by Mr. W. Ashley and seconded by Mr. C. Anthony , that the consideration of the provision of a new burial ground be adjourned until the opinion of a competent and unbiassed expert , pre- ferably one nominated by the Local Government Board , is obtained as to the suitability of the new ground pro- posed to be added to the Churchyard . The amendment was lost by four votes to two . The Chairman did not vote . PROVISION OF A BATHING PLACE . Mr. R. C. Morris gave notice that at the next meeting of the Council he would raise the question of providing a suitable bathing place for boys .

Practically all the plots have been thoroughly well worked and in many of them planting is nearly complete . There is every indi- cation of a fruitful crop . At all events it will not be the fault of the enthusiastic gardeners if there not . We hear that several gentlemen have already been fortunate in securing a good turn- over . " One holder , so rumour has it , has been favoured with a golden harvest . No doubt many furtive glances will be cast at the watch chains of the cultivators to discover L " well preserved " spade ace guinea .

There is an old man in Stratford Workhouse who has £ 200 in the local post office savings bank , £ 150 invested in co - operative society and , le- sides being chargeable to the ratepayers , is in re- ceipt of an old age pension . The discovery of the man's wealth was made in a curious way . He sent his nephew , George W. Palmer , a Forest Gate hairdresser , to pay the rent of a room he keeps going , and to put money into the bank . Palmer tendered a £ 5 note at the post office , but it was found to be a " Bank of Engraving " note . He was charged with attempt- ing to obtain a sum of money by false pretences , but at the police court on Thursday it . plained that he did not know the note was a bad one . was ex- The magistrate , in discharging Palmer , said the Guardians would now know what to do with the uncle . BOY CAPTURES ESCAPED GERMAN PRISONERS , MARCHED THEM IN FRONT OF A DOUBLE- BARRELLED GUN . Two German prisoners who escaped from Roth- well Camp , Kettering , on Sunday were . recaptured the next evening in a remarkable manner by Thomas Gibson , the seventeen - year - old son of a licensed victualler .. He had been rabbit shooting , and , returning along the main road - between Kettering and North- ampton , met two men answering the description of the escaped prisoners . He allowed them to pass , and then , swinging round , gave them the surprise of their lives by shouting " Halt ! Right about turn ! " The men came to a standstill and , wheel- ing round with military precision , found thenrselves facing the lad and the double - barrelled gun . " Now get on ; none of your messing , " he shouted , and took up a position immediately behind them . The pair deemed it wiser to obey , and the inhabi- tants of the village of Broughton were shortly afterwards astonished to see two formidable - looking German soldiers being marched by the boy to the local police station , where , after a night in cells , they were taken back to the prisoners ' camp .

We have to be careful , " he said , " not to penalise some people just because we don't happen to approve of them . But this difficulty will have to be met somehow . The great problem for the Paper Controller is still , however , that of the wasteful Government Departments . It is an embarrassment to an official to be asked ( as he feels with some justice ) , " If you cannot tackle these people , why tackle us ? " But it is hoped that the Economy department which has been set up in the Stationery Office will soon be able to show definite and better results . TEA A FOOD - BY ORDER . LEGAL DECISION SET ASIDE BY NEW REGULATION . All doubt as to whether the hoarding of tea is an offence is now removed . A few days ago , it will be recalled , a Divisional Court decided that tea was not food , and quashed a hoarding conviction on that ground . On Thursday the original Food Hoarding Order of April of last year was amended by the addition of the following new clause : - This statement was made at the inquest at Bed- ford on Monday by a woman who saw the acci- She added that the boat was only eight yards away when the lieutenant's canoe overturned . There were several other boats in the immediate neighbourhood , but the cccupants took 110 notice and also rowed away . Another witness bore out this statement . The coroner said he could not understand such callous conduct as that of watching these two poor souls drowning and failing to assist them . A verdict of accidentally drowned was returned . LEAVE FOR SOLDIERS ' WIVES . The Minister of Munitions recommends that so far as possible applications for leave by women munition workers for the period when their hus- bands are home on leave from active service should be granted . The French Government has already established by law the right of wage - earning wives of mobilised men to a period of leave from their employment , without pay , equal to each period of leave granted to their husbands REPOPULATING THE LAND . Mr. J. C. Newsham , addressing the Farmers ' Club on Monday night , said a golden opportunity was at hand for repopulating the rural districts of Eng- land . The girls now on tlie land were being en- dowed with a physical strength which should prove an important factor in regenerating the human race . Miss Talbot , of the Board of Agri- culture . said it had been shown that women now engaged in agricultural work had improved in health . She did not think women would desire to join the ranks of farm labourers in normal times , as there was not enough money to be made . Mr. C. V. Fisher mentioned that a girl on his farm , milked 13 cows each morning , delivered the milk was previously a London housemaid , five miles away , and looked after her own horse For the purpose of this Order the expression Article of food shall mean every article which is used for food by man , and every article which ordin- arily enters into or is used in the composition or who preparation of human food , and shall include tea , coffee and cocoa . Mr. Clynes , in the House of Commons , said that the and float . Controller had no power to remit fines which had already been imposed for hoarding tea . The number of such cases was very small . The comprehensive nature of the new clause is inter- esting in view of Mr. Justice Darling's comment last | week on the original Order . If those who had made such Orders , he said , insisted on using indefinite language , his Majesty's lieges must be confused . " are TO TRAIN OR NOT TO TRAIN ? It is rather significant as to the after - the - war in- tentions of the majority of the women who being attracted to the ranks of the Land Army that they invariably insist on accepting those terms of enlistment which carry with them a six weeks ' training . Women may enrol in the Land Army for six months , but in that case they are not trained . FRUIT AND VEGETABLE PRESERVATION . now Persons intending to can or bottle fruit or veget ables this season are reminded by the Food Pro- duction Department that they should lose no time in giving their orders for the necessary cans er bottles or they may be disappointed through delay in delivery . Would - be purchasers of the bottles ( or glass jars ) should place their orders immediately with the nearest retailer , or with the retailer from whom they usually obtain articles of this kind , and not with the Food Production Department . Only in cases in which it is impossible obtain supplies from retailers should the Department be proached in the matter . ap- men . UCKLINGS for Sale , 1/6 each ( including loan of Deeply .

Neatby , formally welcomed Mr. Harold Easton , J.P. , into the office . The Secretary , Mr. Larcombe , intimated that there were three chief items of business . The first was the matter , of forming a Boys ' Brigade .. It was decided that a Brigade should be formed and those schools which were favourable should be asked to join . Mr. T. A. Robottom kindly promised to undertake the formation of the same . After careful . consideration it was decided to hold the summer treats as usual , but on a modified form . Arrangements were made for the holding of a Sun- day School Demonstration on June 9th . A collection to be taken and the proceeds devoted to the Cottage Hospital . Mr. J.

' In the Southern and South - Eastern where , comparatively speaking , the climate is mild , the rainfall low , and periods of drought are frequent , no forage crop will better repay attention at the present time than maize . It does well un some parts of Cheshire , but as a rule it is not to be depended upon north of the English Midlands .. Easily cultivated it is suited to a variety of soils and will produce a large bulk - 20 tons and upwards per acre of succulent material suitable for supple mentary grass in early autumn , or , if made into silage , for replacing part of the winter root ration . Resembling grass in general composition and feed- ing properties , maize is much relished by all classes of farm stock , and it is especially valuable for dairy cows , encouraging a large flow of milk . Seed at the rate of about two bushels per acre may be sown from the middle of May to the middl of June . The Supplies Division of the Food Pro- duction Department has made arrangements with the Royal Commission on Wheat for the disposal of a quantity of No. 2 Flat White South African Maize for sowing this season . The maize is being placed on sale through selected agents and the pre- liminary announcement has already brought in a brisk demand . Farmers interested should apply at once to the Food Production Department , 72 , Vic- toria Street , S.W.1 . , from whom full particulars can be obtained as to the nearest source of supply , the price , method of cultivation , & c . |
