B.T.15 Before you light a fire THINK Think of the men fighting in the sodden trenches . Think of the Italian soldiers in the snows . Think of the wounded in hospital . Think of someone fighting who is very dear to you . Remember that the more coal for you the less coal for them . Then see if you cannot do without that fire you meant to light . Follow the rule , one family one fire . The days you have a fire in the kitchen - sit in the kitchen . You can only burn your coal once . Every fire you save now you will be glad of later on . Put off lighting the fire as long as you can and put it out immediately you have done with it . The coal you are going without is forging the key to VICTORY Issued by the Coal Mines Dept , Board of Trade , Holborn Viaduct , E.C.1 . LEOMINSTER BOROUGH TRIBUNAL . EXEMPTED MEN AND THE V.T.C. A meeting of Leominster Borough Tribunal was held on Monday evening , when there were present : Alderman G. Page ( in the chair ) . Councillors J. Watkins , J. Moss , Mr. G.

Bowen , who died on October 18th from wounds received in action on October 16th , from deceased's Company , Officer in the East Surrey Regiment . In the course of his letter he says : - " On behalf of myself as his Company Officer and also on behalf of his many comrades and friends in the Company I beg to tender to you and your family our most sincere and tender sympathies in your sad loss . He was much respected -and teemed by all who knew him and his death is greatly regretted and mourned by all . In losing him we have lost one who was respected by all and one who was regarded as a true soldier and friend , who died doing his duty nobly and well . " DRIVER R.

The following interesting notes in reference to Rhondda's Hereford cattle ap- the sale of Lord peared in the South Wales Argus : - Our correspondent " Ben Brush , " was very much impressed with the great contrast between Tues- day's sale of Herefords at Llanwern and the first draft sale in the same place when he sat next to Mr. D. A. Thomas ( as he was then ) on the stand - a large hay waggon . Mr .. Rees Keene was also there . Speaking from memory it was twelve years ago , a small interval for such events . As a smart heifer calf was knocked down at 6gs . , " D. A. " remarked rather lugubriously " It is an ungrateful world , that calf has probably cost me 60 or 80 pounds ! " " Ben Brush's " response , " O , cheer up . you'll strike more coal seemed to tickle him considerably . yet , " The occasion should not be permitted to pass without offering a word of praise to Mr. W. G. C. Britten , the very able and energetic secretary of the Hereford Herd Book Society , who was res- ponsible for the compilation of the catalogue . This was a work of art , and will be valuable both as the souvenir of a great event , and as a work of reference . Mr. Frank Russell , the genial auctioneer , fur- nished one of the humurous incidents of the day , just after Mr. Trotman had bought Simpering Sue . Her calf Simplicity had been knocked down at 150gs . to someone right back at the extreme outside of the covering , in semi - darkness . Lean- ing over the rostrum Mr. Russell inquired the name of the buyer , adding , " I am sorry I can't see you ; you may be my own brother . " In the silence temporarily established there came distinct- " For the King ! " Mr. Russell was not a bit crestfallen by the general laughter , but raising his hat , remarked " Well , I said it might have been my own brother ! " ly CORRESPONDENCE . A LETTER OF THANKS .

LEOMINSTER RURAL TRIBUNAL . At a meeting of Leominster Rural Tribunal on Friday there were present : Mr. J. Bazley ( in the chair ) , Messrs . Butters , Cave , George and Hughes , the Clerk ( Mr. Gosling ) and the National Service Representative ( Colonel Campbell ) . There were five cases for hearing and three . months ' exemption was given in each instance , as follows : - Alfred George Seale ( 44 ) . married , Grade assistant to auctioneer ( Mr. R. H. George , Kings- land ) . Cole , Alderman Page . Mr. Easton , Mr .. STEALING WALNUTS . chGeorge Fletcher ( 17 ) , labourer , Dishley Street , was with stealing walnuts value 48. , the property of Mrs. Storr Barber , on October 11th and 20th . Defendant pleaded guilty to the 20th . He was not there on the 11th . Mrs. Storr Barber said the facts were the same as in the case which was heard last week . Defendant said he went to pick up a few walnuts as he could not buy any on the Sunday . The Clerk ( Mr. C. E. A. Moore ) : Do you always steal things when you cannot buy them . Defendant : It is very seldom I steal anything . Defendant was fined £ 1 and 28. special costs , or in default 14 days ' imprisonment . Defendant asked for time to pay and in reply to the Chairman said he was on Government work earning £ 2 28. per week . He was ordered to pay 10s . at once and the rest in a week . A WARNING . The Chairman said it had come to the knowledge of the Bench that witnesses in that case had been molested and hooted in the street and also in the precincts of the Court . They wished the Superintendent to take the matter in hand and any offender would be severely dealt with . MOTORISTS SUMMONED . Walter Frost , licensed cictualler , the Imperial Hotel , Hereford , was charged with failing to obscure two electric headlights on October 22nd , as required by the Order . Defendant sent a letter apologising for his in- ability to attend . P.S. Powell said that on October 22nd , at 10.15 p.m. , he saw a motor car in South Street , with two electric side - lamps which it up the street and were not obscured in any way . He pointed out the fact to the defendant when he came out of the Oak . Defendant made light of the matter and said it was an awful charge , and that he had driven through Hereford , Gloucester Worcester and had not been stopped . Defendant drove to Hereford without altering the lights . Fined 28. 6d . and 2s . special costs . Rene Hoornaert , motor driver , of 14 , Charles Street , Brecon , was summoned for a similar offence on October 25th . He did not appear . We deeply regret . to record the death from pneumonia while on active service in France of Corporal W. J. Alderson ( Billy ) . A.S.C. , who was 26 years of age . Corporal Alderson had been , home on 14 days ' leave , which he spent with his mother at 16 , School Lane , Leominster , and returned to . France only a little over a week before his death . Although far from well at the tinie , he insisted on going back . Not listening to the persuasions of his many friends , he felt that " duty called " and he obeyed . Corporal Alderson was mobilised while in camp at the commencement of the war , having pre- viously served 4 years in the A.S.C. He was a general favourite , both at home and with " the boys . " The matron of the 54th General Hospital writes to Mrs. Alderson : " I am very sorry to be the bearer of bad news , but your son , Corporal W. J. Alderson , A.S.C. , passed away last evening ( 25th ) at 9.30 . He died of pneumonia . We hoped we could pull him through , but he was acutely ill and all yesterday we feared he would not get through the night . He died quite quietly did not say anything . He will be buried to- morrow , 27th , at 9.30 a.m. " The Rev. K. O. Mayne , C.F. , also sends his sympathy , adding : " It is very sad for you to lose him at this time when we seem to be nearing the end of the struggle and I hope you will find comfort and consolation from the highest source .

As a matter of fact , these Crabs should form quite a desirable contribution to the Jam - pot this winter . We would therefore enjoin all those who have any growing on their land to have them gathered and sent in to us - the return is well worth the trouble . Then there is no reason why those enthusiasts who have worked so hard and so effectually over the Blackberry harvest should not make a final effort in connection with Crab Apples before the winter of our discontent " postpones such efforts till another season . In some parts of the county we believe there are quite large quantities of Crabs growing in situations where no objection whatever would be raised their being gathered in the interests of the winter's Jam supply . In such circumstances the price paid would well reward the energy expended . The price we are paying for Crab Apples is the Government Maximum of 20s . per cwt . plus 6d . per cwt for use of bags ( or we will gladly supply our own bags on demand ) The price is for apples on rail , we paying carriage charges . Now may we look forward to bumper consign- ments of Crabs during the next few weeks ? BLACKBERRIES . - The need for these is still a matter of national importance , and even though the crops are getting thinner , efforts should be in no way relaxed . In order to encourage the gathering of the latter berries - which , whilst in comparison with the abundant carly crops , may be few and far between , are by no means scanty -we have decided to raise the price to pickers to 4d . per lb. after to - day . With this extra fillip we trust those concerned will make a special point of effecting a clean sweep of the hedges on fine days . before the frosts do it more destructively . COLLECTION successful season SCHEME . - A long and highly having reached a natural con clusion , the time is opportune for us to tender our very cordial thanks to all those who have volun- in as well as a duty , we would like to deal with Having discharged what is a pleasure to us the winding up of the scheme for this year and its continuation consideration all the facts we have decided that next year . After taking into from all points of view the continuance of scheme after this week would not be worth while ; and therefore no collections will be made after the 31st October . the The question as to whether the scheme will be resumed next season , and if so in what form , is already engaging attention . To a great extent , of course , the question is complicated by ignor- ance as to whether next season will find us once again under war conditions , or whether by that time peace will be with us . In either case naturally , after four or five years of devastation the need for the careful conservation of all kinds of foodstuffs will remain . lated or worked so assiduously towards the success of the Probably among the circle of friends who have scheme this year will be those who have formu more effectively either under opinions as to running the scheme still war conditions , as a part of a normal state of things under peace conditions From these friends we would like to hear an expression of their views ; for , after all , in a multitude of counsel there should be wisdom . Moreover , a great deal more enthusiasm enters into any endeavour which is of a mutual charac- ter than into a scheme cut and dried in a bureaucratic fashion . That this year has been such a marked success , notwithstanding that it was scarcely more than experimental , is decidedly encouraging ; and to those who have contributed to this success we say , " though poor in words we are not poor in thanks . " BLACKBERRY EMPTIES . - Will those helpers who find themselves with Blackberry Empties which they will be quite unable to fill with berries , please fill them with Apples and send in to us ?

He catalogues which can be had from the AUCTIONEERS , was the youngest son of Mr. George Burgiss , of Watton , Herts , a grandson of Mr. Thomas Burgiss , Leominster , Hereford and Tenbury . of the Bache , Kimbolton , and nephew of Mr. Thomas Burgiss , of Kimbolton . Some fine praise has been given Sergi , Burgiss in letters received by the family . Lieut . J. Procter wrote : I have not been in the Battalion long , but as Assistant Adjutant I came in contact with your brother a good deal , and can only say what a fine fellow , I thought him . He was always so willing to do anything , for one , and I know that the fellows in the Band miss him terribly - and so will everybody in the Battalion when they come out of the trenches . Sergeant Onions wrote : I am very sorry that I did not tell you more in my last letter , but to be candid with you I did not feel like it , as I can honestly say that every one of us were put out too much . You would hardly , realise how we all felt it . The boys of the Band looked more on him as a chum than as a N.C.O. in charge of them , and they miss his cheery voice and ways more than I can explain . " His Chaplain , the Rev. T. B.
