GRAIN FROM RAKINGS AND GLEANINGS . was Under the Cereals ( Restriction ) Order , 1918 , sound ( including wheat , barley , rye , and dredge corn tailings , dressings and screenings ) may not be used for feeding animals . They may be sold to a miller , grain dealer , or licensed manufacturer , or for seed purposes . Unsound grain of this kind may not be fed to animals without a license , unless bought in quantities of 10cwt . or less from a person who has received a certificate that it is unsound . These restrictions , according to the Food Production Department , have been imposed only after full consideration of national require- ments ; and it is most desirable in view of the necessity of conserving the nation's food supplies that no farmer should fail to win the greatest possible amount of grain by thoroughly raking his land . When rakings of the field have been carried and prove unfit for human food , and farmers desire to feed the same they should apply for a license . This can be obtained either from the Local Food Office or from a Grain Officer at the nearest Divisional Food Commissioner . Gleaning by hand for the benefit of the gleaner after a field has been raked is not in any way prohibited by this or any other Order . But the grain gathered comes within the provisions of the Cereals ( Ristriction ) Order , and must not be fed to animals unless it is un- sound and a license has been obtained . There is no objection if , after a field has been raked , stock or poultry are turned on it to feed on what remains . A leaflet ( No. 10 ) generally explaining the Order referred to can be obtained from the Joint Committee , 6a , Dean's Year , Westminster , S.W.I. PRESTEIGN . RADNORSHIRE QUARTER SESSIONS .

Sir John Cotterell presided and there were also present : Sir Geoffrey Cornewall , Colonel P. L. Clowes , C.B. , Mr. W. T. Cooke , the Rev. H. B. D. Marshall , the Rev. W. Marshall , Messrs . T. E. Williams , W. R. Patry , F. J. Berry , H. L. Harvey , F. Whiteman and G. Edwards . A letter was read from Mr. T. P. Jones , the hon . Clerk to Almeley Parish follows : Council , as " Some time ago you continued the appointment of the representative for Almeley for the duration of the war . Members of the Almeley Parish Coun- cil are dissatisfied with his attendance at your Council meetings , and moreover feel that Almeley must be represented . Should you consider that his time has lapsed as the representative for Almeley , I beg to submit the name of Mr. James Morris , Corner House , Almeley , who was ap- pointed at a special meeting of Almeley Parish Council as our representative on a previous occa- sion , and who has consented to act as our repre sentative and attend your Council meetings . " six In a discussion it was recalled that some months or more ago Mr. E. T. Davies , the member for Alme'ey , said he would resign if the District Council would elect a gent'eman of his nomina- tion to succeed him , but this the Council refused to do . At that time the Parish Council suggested the election of Mr. Morris . The Clerk ( Mr. W. H. Grout ) now stated , in reply to , questions , that Mr. , Davies made only one attendance last year , and a ' further six months had gone by in which he had not attended one meeting . Mr. Davies had , it appeared , left the locality , and gone to reside at Eardisley . Sir John Cotterell remarked that when the mat- ter came up before , the District Council did all they could in a most courteous manner , and no alteration was made on the understanding that Mr. Davies would endeavour to attend . On the motion of the Chairman , seconded by Sir John , the Council decided to declare the seat vacant . The matter will come up for considera- tion again at the next meeting . On the roadmen's wages question , introduced by the Surveyor ( Mr. F. Gwillim ) a letter was read from the County Surveyor saying that " In some districts there appears to be a difficulty arising out of the proposition to increase the number of hours . I was directed to inform you that it was agreed ( by the Roads and Bridges Committee ) that in cases where the old hours are retained the wages for able - bodied men should not be less than 29s . per week . The hours prevailing in the districts under the direct control of the County Council are as follows : Summer , 7 q.m. to 5.30 p.m .; breakfast , 9. to 9.30 ; dinner , 1 to 2. Winter : Saturdays . 7.30 a.m. to 4.30 p.m .; dinner , 12 to 1 . till one o'clock . " As there is some difference between the hours worked by County Council men and those on the district roads , and Mr. Gwillim stated that an alternative had been suggested giving the roadmen 28s . a week all the year round , the Council auth- orised Mr. Gwillim to confer with the County Surveyor on the matter . The Sanitery Inspector ( Mr. E. Lewis ) reported three cases of measles and three of scarlet fever . Cne of the latter was additional in a house at Almeley where there were already eight cases . One deata ad occurred from scarlet fever at Almeley . This was a child of five , who died sud- denly ; the child was at Sunday School on the Sunday and was buried by the next Saturday . Two deaths from tuberculosis were also reported during the month . At the meeting of the Guardians the Clerk pre- sented the estimate of receipts and expenditure for the ensuing half - year , showing that a rate of 3d . in the £ was necessary for Union purposes , the sum required ( less excess balance of £ 853 ) be- ing £ 576 , exactly the same as the last half - year . The only increase he explained would be in the county rate , which was 1S . 2d . for the half - year against 1s . So the total call was for 15. 5d . in the -3d . for the Guardians and 1s . 2d . for the County Council . The estimate was adopted . The Board expressed cordial thanks to Mrs. Beattie for providing conveyances for the inmates of the Workhouse to the Parish Church on the occasion of the harvest festival . and to Mrs. F. H. Russell for a newspaper daily for the use of the inmates . WEOBLEY . could not refuse Mr. Whiteman's request ( Hear , hear ) . He visited the herd a week or two ago . He had a look at the cattle and he was then greatly impressed . Indeed he realised that it was an extremely fine herd . Most of them were descended from the Saltmarshe cattle , which was a sufficient guarantee of their excellence . He had not seen a better lot of yearling heifers for a long time . He hoped Mr Whiteman would have as good a sale as Mr Hughes did a week ago . Mr. Whiteman suitably acknowledged the pliment . com- Mr. F. Bach proposed the health of the Chair- man and said that Lord Cawley was a nobleman of the right sort . He took a great interest in his country and in the breed of Hereford cattle . Lord Cawley in reply to the toast said he was quite true that he was particularly fond of Here- ford cattle . He not only took that interest which his position might warrant without knowing much about them , but he knew the pedigree and almost every animal he had by sight . Therefore it was a labour of love with him and he was delighted to be amongst a company of Hereford breeders ( applause ) . The sale was conducted by Mr. Frank Russell and the business was quickly transacted . The new standard of prices set by Wintercott caused biddings to come more freely . As stated above , two new records were established . Another high priced cow was Royal Purple , which realised 300 gs . , while Royal Carrie and her calf together made 360 guineas . Two - years - old heifers ( of which Mr. Whiteman has exported several ) , made 200 , 220 and 230 guineas . In the yearlings the record breaking Hyde Oyster , 500 guineas , was the most outstanding animal . The fine yearling bull , Momentum , was sold for 500 guineas for export , while his sire , Memento . bred by Mr. A. P. Turner , 7 years old , made 200 guineas .. The total for the sale was 7,954 guineas for 74 animals , thus giving the fine average of 107 guineas . The following were the sales and purchasers : - COWS AND CALVES .

The ten churches belonging to the Weobley Festival ser- Circuit held their annual Harvest vices ou Thursday , October 10th , at Weobley . The weather was most propitious . The proceed- ings commenced in the Chapel with a sermon by the Rev. Arthur Wood , of Coventry . The text chosen was Psalm 86 , verse 17 , " Show me al Blow , Mr. Leyman , Ivington token for good . " The preacher stated that in the Psalm there were notes of depression . David . desired a remedy for this and prayed that God would " Show him a token for good . " Such tokens are to be sought for . If we dig on the highways of human life these will certainly be found . Mr. Wood dealt with the question as it affected society . Dark places can be found without difficulty and so can bright ones , and many of them . It was better for France to have had " The Reign of Terror " than to have endured longer the condi- tions that then prevailed . The present war was a terrible affair for England , but the token for good was found in the sense of honour that induced millions to risk their lives for the sake of free- dom . In America we see the same proofs of moral greatness . Nature is a puzzle to many people . It certainly is not always cruel . were asked to remember the green grass and the miles of waving corn we had seen . The regu- larity of the seasons bringing from year to year the " Seedtime and Harvest . " Tokens for good We more are to be found in ourselves . Sin and the scars of sin can be easily seen , but there is another side , one that should dissipate doubts in relation to God . There are the lives of great men . " " Where sin abounded did much grace abound . " After this service the friends went to the Recrea- tion Room , where a Faith Tea had been arranged . The tables were laden with provisions and the quality was of the best . Instead of a fixed charge , a silver collection was taken . The following ladies presided at the tables : Mesdames John Davies , George , Gregg , Rhys Powell , Price , Rees , Whiteman , Williams , Wilkerson , and the Misses Ballinger ( two ) , W. Tarbath and Whiteman ( two ) . The Great Thanksgiving Meeting was held at 6.15 under the presidency of Mr. Harley F. White- The first speaker man , of The Rhyse , Lyonshall . was the Rev. A. Wood , who devoted himself to a description of a grain of corn . In the grain of corn there is a prophecy of unutterable wealth . The chemist can tell you all about its different parts , but if these are placed in the ground they will not grow . The thing they lack is life . We cannot supply that . There are two great texts in the Bible about corn . One in the Old Testament , " There shall be handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains . " In the New Testament Jesus says " Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die it abideth alone . " You The heart of the Christian religion is life . must beware when you have a handful of life . The handful of men entrusted with Christ's mes- . sage commenced to sow on the hard places , and did not seek for luxurious vales . This was charac- , teristic in the sowing of George Whitfield John Wesley and the pioneers of Primitive Methodism . The Rev. J. M. Ridge , of Leominster , also ad- dressed the meeting , giving a very seasonable speech . The financial report was entrusted to the Rev. A. Warcup , who gave a long list of subscribers to the funds . He also proposed a comprehensive vote of thanks to all donors and helpers . Mr. James Price ( Circuit Steward ) seconded the , vote thanks . The room had been tastefully decorated under the direction of Mrs. W. H. Tarbath , who also spent much time in collecting , the harvest produce that was displayed close to the platform . Special hymns were sung and Mr. W. Gregg , J.P. , pre- sided at the organ . At the close of the meeting the fruit , vegetables , etc. , were sold by Mr. Gregg , good prices being realised . The festival was pro- nounced a real success , and a worthy successor to those held for many years in Weobley . of OUR FIRST PETROLEUM WELL .. An initial step in a project of far - reaching im- portance to the future industrial outlook of Great Britain was taken on Tuesday when the Marquis of Hartington inaugurated the first petroleum well to be drilled in this country . It is on the Duke of Devonshire's property in the mining district of Hardstoft , Derbyshire , and about six miles from Chesterfield . SHOBDON . 200 HARVEST THANKSGIVING . - The harvest thanks- giving service was held on Wednesday evening in last week . The church was nicely decorated for the occasion by a number of lady parishioners with fruit , flowers , grain and vegetables . There was a good congregation . The prayers were read by the Rev. Cornish Watkins , R.D. ( Vicar of Staunton - on - Arrow ) and the Rev. W. E. Johnson ( Vicar of Aymestrey ) was the special preacher . He gave an excellent sermon from Isaiah 28 , 24-26 . The music part of the service was well rendered . The offertory , which amounted to £ 3 IS . was divided between the R.A.B.I. and the St. Dunstan's Hospital for Blind Soldiers . BROXWOOD . The harvest thanksgiving services were held at the above chapel last Sunday and Monday , when the Rev. Matthew Charles ( Pastor ) preached . The congregations were exceptionally good and the collections better than they have been for many years . The gifts of fruit and vegetables , etc. , were given by Mr. and Mrs. Fred Morgan , Mr. and Mrs. Powell , Mr. and Mrs. Morris , Mr. and Mrs. John Lanc , Mrs. Dykes and others . Mr. Charlie Morgan , assisted by Mr. Fred Morgan and Mr. Lane , sold the goods and they realised very much more than previous years . Miss Gladys Powell ( Crump Oak Farm ) , in the absence of Miss Hughes through illness , presided very ably at the organ at all the services . EYTON . CHEESE MAKING . - There was n large atten- dance at the Hill , Eyton , by kind invitation of Mrs. Ridgley , to witness a demonstration by Miss Yeld on the making of small cheeses .

Life with a British night squadron in France provides as happy a mixture of work and pleasure as exists in any of the three service . It is a life full of thrills , but yet one that affords good opportunities for relaxation and the lighter sides of campaigning . The real work of a . night squadron begins with the fall of dusk . The machines of the day patrols having landed , the last remains of daylight show up a very animated scene . Flares are lit and placed in position on the aerodrome according to the way the wind is setting . Mechanics are seen detonating bombs and starting up engines , the roar of which , as they are being run up and tested , drowns all other sounds . Small isolated groups of pilots and observers , clad in electrically heated clothing , can here and there be seen study- ing maps , and making final notes for the night's work . All preparations being completed the Squadron Commander or his deputy gives the signal to start . Navigation lights are switched on , and the machine " taxi " one after the other to the flare path . A deafening roar is heard as cach one takes off and for a few minutes they can easily be picked out from the ground by their lights , and can be seen circling round the aerodrome in order to gain height before making for the lines . When all have left , the flares are put out , and the people on the aerodrome settle down to wait and watch in quietness . J After a space of time has elapsed , varying with the distance of the objective the hum of returning machines is heard . Flares are again lit and the aerodrome once more breathes life and action as soon as machine lands , the pilot and observer hurry off to give in their report to the Recording Officer ; after a thrilling tale of " hairbreadth ad- venture , but always in the tersest most matter - of- fact language . Whilst this is going on the mechanics are busily engaged replenishing tanks with petrol and oil , refilling drums with machine- gun ammunition , and refitting bombs . All this is done in case there should be a second show , and there are often two or three more shows in a night , the same procedure being carried out in each . When the night's work comes to an end , whether it be soon after midnight or just as dawn is breaking , there is generally some discussion in the Mess , accompanied by refreshments , of the night's happening . The talk , however , does not rule last very long , because the desire for rest is apt to be strong after a night bombing flight . Within an hour from the finish of the last show all hands are likely to be asleep , from which happy state they do not return until the sun is well up in the sky . as a There are a few necessary jobs to be done by day , but they do not take very long to perform . The observer must test the bomb releases and machine guns , whilst the pilot must test the en gine and rigging of his machine . Pilots and observers must report early in the evening , so as to receive and digest orders for the night , study maps , and the like .. Tennis in summer and football in winter are the favourite forms of exercise , but cricket , base- ball , riding and bathing all have their devotees . On most days motor tenders are going into the nearest town end officers can get a lift and have opportunity for shopping , visiting the Field Cashier or barber , and of having a meal at one of those delightful little cafes which are to be ound in most . French towns . In a spell of " dud " weather when flight is impossible concerts , lec tures and occasionally guest nights are arranged , all of which are very popular . Taken altogether , life in a night Bombing Squad- ron is perhaps the most attractive form of Active Service , as well as one of the most exciting and interesting . LEOMINSTER BOROUGH POLICE COURT . Thursday , before Dr. G. Steel , Mr. E. Cole , Mr. T. J. Enoch and Alderman G. Page . were JURY LISTS .
