18 otes In not the nted ears , nary War . it is em- in loyd gned date my the for ction NORTH HEREFORDSHIRE ELECTION . COALITION CANDIDATE'S CAMPAIGN . MEETING OF WOMEN UNIONISTS . Since our last issue Major , Ward - Jackson , the official Coalition candidate has continued his cam- paign by addresing meetings throughout division . the Mr. E. W. Langford , who was adopted by the Herefordshire Farmers ' Union as Agricul- tural Coalition Candidate , has been engaged in addressing branch meetings of the Farmers ' Union in North Herefordshire , at which canvassers for each parish have been appointed and arrangements made to hold meetings in every district before polling day . THREE CANDIDATES PROBABLE IN NORTH HEREFORDSHIRE . Nomination Day for the General Election is fixed for Wednesday next , December 4th , and it now appears probable that there will be three candidates for the new constituency of North Herefordshire .. to For some days there were strong rumours that in addition to Major Ward - Jackson ( the Coalition Candidate ) and Mr. E. W. Langford ( Agricultural Coalition ) , Mr. Edmund Lamb would return the constituency which he has twice contested . As nothing official could be gathered we give no cur- rency to the report in our columns , but on Tuesday was stated in the town that Mr. Lamb had definitely decided to offer himself as an independent Candidate . On Wednesday Mr. Lamb arrived in the town and was met at the station by a number of his old supporters . it en- such the and but the the our I our the Hos- man ensa- ilors mur- avell what nally their and ex- nities were ouths such ators rsons will will their on by their orded at in vision en in the ly in jours , and the btar land- the the ty in y the the the осец- raise wages ber of Policy our give have which , d and and com- cheme es the nonce Dis- e fact to the nding which hat a tween xisted se on raise ght of ained , h the e not SON , r .. ers y's If for Elec- hat if te my re the place ou for rce in made ge of vour your you cannot onally have .

Church Ffrome RD Kington Chapel Lodge The re - appearance of Mr. Edmund Lamb in North Herefordshire recalls the strenuous fights which he conducted eight and twelve years ago . In 1906 when he defeated Sir James Rankin , the electorate numbered only 9328 , as against the present electorate of 25,000 , of which about 10,000 are women . In 1906 the figures were : Lamb Rankin 3,892 3,864-28 . In the election of 1910 the electorate was turned at 9689 , and the poll resulted as follows : Rankin Lamb 4,822 3,991-831 . re- Ten months later at the next General Election the result was : Rankin Paine 4,600 3,431-1169 . In March , 1912 , Sir James Rankin retired and Mr. Mr. H. FitzHerbert Wright ( C ) was returned un- opposed . The register then included 10,068 voters . WOMEN'S PART IN RECONSTRUCTION . MEETING AT LEOMINSTER . On Friday evening a well attended meeting was held in the Unionist Assembly Rooms under the auspices of the North Herefordshire Women's Unionist Association . Mrs. Ward - Jackson presided , and was supported by Mrs. Boyce , the special speaker , and Miss Urwick ( organising secretary ) . Mrs. Ward - Jackson in opening the meeting said how pleased she was to meet the Leominster mem- bers once more . She thanked them for rallying round and getting such a good meeting together . The gathering was arranged owing to a meeting at Bromyard falling through owing to illness , and f any members had not heard of that meeting she wished them to know that it was only arranged that morning . Mrs. Ward - Jackson then introduced the special speaker , who is a member of the Executive of the Women's Unionist and Tariff Reform Association , London . was Mrs. Boyce , in a very able address which frequently applauded , spoke on " Women's part in Reconstruction . " There was so much for women to do to - day that whatever they could do to rouse their women to the position of affairs should be done . They were faced with an election which meant not only great things to England and the Empire , but great things to each woman personally , good or bad , in the years to come . The apathy of the women in regard to the vote was not yet broken down . Mrs. Boyce spoke of herself one who had always opposed the vote but now the Government had said that the women could help them by their votes , she urged them to look upon that as vote as a privilege and responsibility USE THE KINGTON TIMES .

Now the Germans were crying be- cause they were going to have their locomotives and ships and said it was hard for them to live . That was exactly as it should be . They must have the fines which Germany had stolen and the Kaiser's hoard of money . What they could not pay in money they must pay in kind . Let them be the hewers of wood and drawers of water to the people who had conquered them . As to the barbarities they had committed they must try . all the criminals starting with the one at the top ( applause ) . he top Pleading again for strong support for the Coali- tion , Mrs. Boyce said the people which were strong enough to go on so far with the war were strong enough to go on and finish it . FREE TRADE INDICTMENT , If ever there was an indictment against Free Trade , the war had proved Free Trade to bé wrong , because before the war three parts of the working people did not have enough to live on , and they had to have a European war before they could have enough to live on in comfort . HOUSING AND EDUCATION . as One of the crying needs of to - day was housing , and the women should have something to say to that . The present conditions were a disgrace . It was for the women to see that when the Coali- tion scheme was carried out that houses should not be put up which were white elephants . As to education the Government proposed to spend a huge sum of money , and it was for the women to see that education was carried out on a different basis to what it had been in the past . The great mistake about education was that it was not based on religion , and children were crammed with 101 things they did not want to learn . They should be taught the things that mattered and then at 12 the clever children could go on to secondary schools . In conclusion , Mrs. Boyce spoke of the difficulties which some women might experience in getting ד OPTICAL DEPARTMENT .

" To the Editor of the Kington Times . Dear Sir , -Will you kindly allow a small space in your valuable paper for a word as to the meaning of Coalition . We all know quite well that our sons and Husbands have fought and a great number given their lives in this war . Now we want an everlasting peace for our children and grand- children , so we must one and all go the way Mr. " Lloyd George prefers and that is , vote for the Coalition Candidate , Major Ward - Jackson , that we can send him to represent North Herefordshire as our mouth piece at the peace conference . Major Ward - Jackson has been with our boys in France and witnessed their trials , and I believe if we can do our utmost towards his going to Parliament we Mr. need not fear of the best being done for us .

Mrs. Ward - Jackson thanked Mrs. Boyce for her interesting address . What they could feel about Mr. Lloyd George was that he had done things , him . and they felt that in the reconstruction he would get things done if he had a strong Coalition behind Referring to the Farmers ' Union candidate Mrs. Ward - Jackson said the farmers were a very important class in this country , but Major Ward- Jackson had pledged himself to support their in- terests . It must be understood that there was only one Coalition candidate , and that was Major Ward - Jackson . If Mr. Langford was called a Coalition candidate he was not correctly named . Mr. Langford stood for the farmers ' interests , while the Coalition candidate stood for all . conclusion , Mrs. Ward - Jackson thanked the ladies for arranging the meeting , specially mentioning the organising secretary ( Miss Urwick ) . to the boys in France and Belgium . Interested as she was in Unionism and Imperialism she did not plead with them for any particular party . They were fighting in that election for the Coali- tion and they wished to return to power strong support for that Coalition so that they might carry out the work which they had so far completed . The Coalition had brought the country to the point where we had beaten the Boche , but we had not won the peace yet , and unless the peace terms were framed in such a way that would bring to their children the full fruits of victory , England would have lost the war and Germany would have won it . It was only right that the people of this country having made great sacrifices should I have the right to send back to power mea who would suppport Mr. Lloyd George in securing the full fruits of those sacrifices , concluded . She pointed out that when Mr. Lloyd George became Premier and took the best brains of every party they went a- head in the war . No doubt when she last ad- dressed a meeting in Leominster she slanged Mr. Lloyd George , but to - day every man , woman and child owed their thanks to Mr. Lloyd George for his splendid services , and they might well pray that his health might be spared him to enable him to carry out the work which he intended doing with the help of the Coalition which they were asked to return to power . Unionists should remember that not only Mr. loyd George had the grit to do what he had done but the other great In Mrs. Jarvis proposed a vote of thanks to Mrs. Boyce . This was seconded by Mrs. Robert Lewis and carried . A vote of thanks to the lady chairman was moved by Mrs. J. B. Parry , and Mrs. Cratchley seconding said that Major Ward - Jackson had sought with their boys in France and was he not the most likely one to support them at home .

The first meeting of the newly appointed Food , Control Committee took place on Saturday evening , when there were present : Alderman George Page , Councillor J. J. Biddle , Mr. T. J. Enoch , Mr. E. King , Mrs. Jarvis , Miss . Newman , with the Execu- tive Officer ( Mr. W. T. Sale , and the Enforcement Officer ( Mr. C. O. Mapp ) . Mr. T. J. Enoch proposed the re - appointment of Alderman George Page . He remarked that . they I could not have better chairman . He had treated everybody without exception with courtesy , and had been ready to explain any matter connected with the work of the committee . Mrs. Jarvis seconded the resolution which was supported by Councillor J. J. Biddle and , carried . Alderman Page in taking the chair thanked the committee for the compliment they had paid him in re - appointing him to that position .. He said it had been his object to do the best he could for the people of the town . They had had a most difficult matter to deal with and it had been im thank EXPLOITS OF SHROPSHIRE YEOMANRY AND possible to satisfy everyone . He had to the Executive Officer for the assistance he had rendered him . He had always found Mr. Sale to give the best of , advice . He hoped the time for The following notes in a Shropshire contemporary are QUESTION OF HALF A PIG The Chairman referring to the point as to of interest to Herefordshire readers , seeing which he was elected would not be very long . that the county is so largely represented in the K.S.L.I. and Yeomanry : - Some weeks ago , the county of Salop was de- lighted to hear that the Shropshire Territorials whether a cottager may upon killing a pig sell had been awarded the French distinction of the one half of it in order to pay for the food , said Croix de Guerre for their gallantry in the field . they would be faced with this question again this We have now an opportunity of emphasising a like year . It was a point which the Government knew gallantry on the part of their comrades in arms nothing of , but it was a common practice for the Shropshire Yeomanry , then under the comma : 11 people to sell half a pig to pay for the food they of Lieut . - Colonel H. Heywood Lonsdale . had bought . A case had not been decided on the point , so he supposed that it would go on as be- fore . We ma say that , since March , 1917 , the County Yeomanry has been merged in the K.S.I.I. parties sank their own interests and joined the Coalition . That was what they had got to do to- day . They had got to work not for a party but for the State . Speaking of Mr. Lloyd George's stand for unity of command among the armies of the Allies , Mrs. Boyce told how the Premier was nearly defeated on this subject , and how , when our armies almost came to disaster , he insisted upon having his own way if he was to remain in office . The result was a striking lesson in the value of unity . From the time we achieved unity on the home front and unity among the forces , our cause never looked back . In future they still needed that unity in a strong Coalition Govern- ment , and unless they got that , German intrigue . would continue , and they would wriggle into a which would leave them untouched and peace would be a victory for them Would they allow the deaths of their boys to go for nothing or say that the Hun should have the treatment he deserved , and that the British soldier who had fought for them should have fair treatment when he came back and that the country that he fought for the should be fit for him to live in . The General Officer commanding the Division , after a hard fight , telegraphed to Col. Heywood Lonsdale as follows : - " Your old Battalion did one of the finest bits of work of the whole show . After fighting from 5.30 a.m. until night , having heavy casualties I had to call upon them to take They went a certain strong post before daylight . in at 12.30 a.m. , killed over 100 Boches , took 200 prisoners and 30 machine guns ; their own casual ties were about- 6 slightly wounded . all heroes : bless them . " They are After another fight the Officer Commanding the Division wired as follows to the Officer commanding convey my be fought for hearty congratulations to all ranks th K.S.L , I. When the armistice was signed the war did not end and although she had greater hopes of things ending rightly now that the German fleet had sur- rendered , it was not yet alright , and they had got to make it all right by the coming election . They had spent a sum of money in this war which was more than ever they thought they had got , and they had a tremendous yearly sum to find . The question they wanted to know was whether , the German was going to pay for the war he had caused or whether we should allow him to slink out of his responsibilities . . She asked them to stand by the Coalition and give them a mandate on magnificent work done by them last night . For tired troops to have gained such a signal success under the most trying conditions reflects the greatest credit upon the Battalion and Brigade . Corps Commander wishes also to convey his con- gratulations and thanks to all concerned . " In September this year , the General commanding the 4th Army telegraphed as follows to the General Officer commanding the Yeomanry Division : - " The th Division has taken a prominent part in the successful advance of the 4th Army during the past month and much to my regret has been or- . dered to another part of the British Front . The to tell the Germans that we insist upon their work of the Division during a period of severe recouping us for the money we have spent , that and continuous fighting is worthy of the best our children shall not be burdened because of traditions of the Yeomen stock of Great Britain .

Dealing with the lessons of the war Mrs. Boyce ranks my warmest thanks for their gallantry and said they must remember not only the boys of self - sacrifice . In addition to the considerable area our own country but the boys of the Dominions , of ground gained the Division has captured over 1,700 prisoners . I greatly regret that the Division and see through their Coalition Government that some system was established whereby the British PICE OF MILK . THE WHOLESALE PRICE OF MILK . The Food Controller , writing in reply to the resolution of the committee expressing the opinion that 2s . per gallon would have . been sufficiently . high for the wholesale price of milk in the Leo miaster district , stated that 28. 3d . was fixed after long consideration of all the factors with regard to milk production and the probability of a further increase in the cost of producing milk through the winter months . Continuing , the Food Con- troller said that in some cases a large profit would be made , but this would be balanced by increased costs as the winter went on . He admitted the force of the arguments for different prices for flat different places , but said the advice to fix a rate was so unanimous , both from co - operators and producers that he granted it , and the price was fixed at such a level as to make sure of a supply . It was too true that many people were poor , but it was the duty of the Food Controller to get supplies and he drew attention to the powers of the Food Control Committee , to provide milkin certain cases . WORK OF THE STAFF . The Executive Officer presented an interesting report upon the work or the offiec . The influx of munition workers had entailed a considerable amount of work on the staff as in cach case it meant the issue of a new book and obtaining the old reference leaf from the Food Office of the district from which each person came . Now when a large number were leaving the town it meant a similar proceeding being carried out . From 330 to 340 had been dealt with in this way . Considerable work had been caused by applications from persons who were no longer able to obtain butter from farmers . Then there were emergency cards for persons . without ration books , such as soldiers on extended leave , visitors to the town , arrivals from Ireland and from institutions . They had to issue new books to discharged soldiers and people coming to the town and recover the counter foils of persons leaving the district . This meant foils . In order to obviate this he proposed to them collect the counterfoils and keep at the office . Proceeding , the Executive Officer said they had to collect retailer's returns , summarise and forward them to the Ministry . The distribution of margarine was a big thing , involving visits to each shop to make allotments , rendering accounts . for payment and making claims for damage and loss . They had to allot sugar to the retailers , prepare vouchers and investigate applications for supplies of jam . There were fortnightly returns in regard to cheese , flour , bread , potatoes , etc. In addition the office had to deal with inquiries relating to orders , and with complaints that their orders were not complied with by wholesale firms . They had never failed to satisfy the retailers ' re- quirements so far , and they had worked very well is leaving the 4th Army , and in wishing all ranks visit to the shop and searching for the counter- every good fortune , I trust , I may at some future Empire had a trading system which brought pros- the Division once more under my perity to the whole of the Empire . Was it not thue , find folly that men should be put into jobs they knew command . " men and women Shropshire and Herefordshire everywhere will be delighted to read these recog- nitions of the gallantry of their lads , in so many nothing about , and then to go and tell the farmers to plough up grassland . They saw the crops rot- ting and a loss to the farmer when all the while they had those wonderful wheatfields . of Australia hard - fought and well - known fields . and Canada where they could grow the best wheat I war : in the world . Why not produce all we could in this country , but grow the things which were suit- able to the climate . Why not grow sugar and thus make us independent of Germany after the Let each country in the Empire produce all they could and exchange goods within the Empire . She hoped that in future the trade of the British Empire would be for British boys , and to the Allies who had helped us we would say " We will help you . " But as to the Hun they would say " Never again . " ( applause ) . CANADIAN MILITARY MEDALIST KILLED . at Mr. W. T. Jeffery , Alderman's Meadow , Leomin- ster , has received news from his daughter .
