Ltd. LEOMINSTER . Grease Banding of Fruit Trees . THE CHIEF OBJECT of Grease Banding is to catch the wingless females of the Winter Moth ,. Great Winter Moth , and March Moth . Being wingless , the females of the Moths cannot fly into the trees . to lay their eggs , so have to crawl up from the ground , therefore efficient Grease - banding is a very effective method of destroying them . THE IMPORTANT POINTS to bear in mind are : - 1. Affix the Grease - bands early so that the first Moths which emerge will be caught ; the bands should be in position early in October . 2. Keep the bands on and in good working order up to April , so as to catch the March Moth when it emerges . 3. Don't expect one application of Grease to keep fresh and sticky for six months . Use a good grease and freshen up the grease with another application when required . 4. Never apply Grease direct to the Trees . 5.Always use Grease - proof paper for Banding purposes . Banding Grease is sold in 1 / and 2/6 Tins ( larger Greaseproof Paper , 60 Bands for 9 d . , by ELLWOOD & SON , DEATH OF MR . WILLIAM PHILLIPS . We regret to record the passing of an old and respected townsman of Leominster , Mr. William Phillips , who passed away at Green Bank , Perse- verance Road , on Wednesday at the age of 81. He was a native of the town and will be best remem bered in the history of the Borough as a life - long and faithful adherent of the Moravian Church . He belonged to the Sunday School from his earli- est years , and held the wonderful record of up- wards of 60 years ' service as a teacher . Of this work he was justifiably proud and there are many in Leominster who have paid affectionate tribute to the personal benefit they have received at his hands in bygone days . At a recent function at the Moravian Church the Mayor ( Councillor J. B. Dowding ) acknowledged the work of Mr. Phillips when he ( the Mayor ) was a scholar in his Sunday School class . Another old pupil of Mr. Phillips ' is Mr. W. C. Miles , whose sterling work and en- thusiasm for Sunday Schools is in itself a striking tribute to the labours of Mr. Phillips . The latter period of his life was perhaps even more fruitful of labour in the cause he loved . He was by trade a carpenter and was for many years . in the employ of Mr. J. J. Davis , the Vinery . When he was 59 years of age , however , he re- ceived a call to the rural mission of the Moravian Church , a work which he took up and carried on for 19 years with tireless energy and devotion to duty . The work was of an arduous nature involv ing long tramps on foot throughout the district of Leominster . No effort was too great for him in order to fulfil an appointment to preach at one of the country missions or to perform some errand of mercy . He may be said to have given up his whole life and sacrificed all for the sake of his beliefs and his work . Signs that his devoted labours were appreciated were not wanting . On taking up the mission work in 1896 he was pre sented by the minister and teachers of the Sunday School with a commentary in a case , which up to the present day has occupied a conspicuous place in his home . In 1905 he was presented by friends at the Broad with an address and a writing desk in appreciation of his nine years ' labour among them ; proof that his genuine zeal for his work had touched the hearts of those among whom he moved . His long service to the cause of the Sunday School has been recognised on more than one occasion . In 1000 he was presented with the Diploma of the Sunday School Union for 54 years ' services . In connection with the Moravian Church there is what is known as a " Round O " scheme for recognising a year's attendance at school , " never absent , never late . " In 1910 Mr. Phillips was presented with a gold medal for 54 years ' record in connection with the scheme , a token which he very much prized . Thus he worked on until his health finally failed him some four years ago and then he retired Mr. Farrar succeeding him . Since then his powers have declined , although he has never lost his attachment to the church and was present at a meeting as recently as Easter . By his death the church at Leominster loses its senior member . Mr. Phillips ' wife pre- deceased him by 22 years . He leaves one daughter , Mrs. W. J. Thomas , with whom he has lived for Imany years . Agricultural 25 , Drapers Lane , " The funeral will take place on Saturday at 3 a Chemists , LEOMINSTER COUNTY POLICE COURT .

When he served a summons on defendant's father he took him and showed him the register , which was posted in the chaff house . up Defendant said the register his mother spoke of was an old one . They had had several changes . in the staff since and had a new register posted up . That one was posted up in the buildings on September 5th . His mother did not know of it . He had had several changes in the men and had notified them to the Recruiting Office . The work- men would have told the constable register was . The case was dismissed .

He asked him if he had a regis ter posted up of the workpeople employed there . He replied " No , you have not brought me one . " Witness replied that he did not bring them round . Passey said he knew there was one at Leominster and the police had called and seen it . There were two employees at Kingsland , Passey Brown . and Mr. Chambers asked if witness had ascertained . from the company whether the names were posted up at their head office . P.C. Roberts : No , I understand they are 111- ployed at Kingsland Station . Mr. Chambers informed the Bench that they had- all the names of the employees at the different depots posted up at their head office at Kington . They were unaware that they should be posted up in each depot office . In the original form that was issued there was nothing to say that it must be posted up at the place where the men were employed . The new form did state that , but they were not aware of it . The two names referred to were posted up at Kington but not at Kingsland . The Chairman said the notices must be posted up where the men were employed , but under the circumstances the case would be dismissed . ALLEGED FOWL STEALING . DEFENDANT'S SUCCESSFUL IDENTIFICATION . David Thomas , of Merefield Cottage , Richards Castle , was summoned for stealing a fowl value 79. , the property of Robert Bulkeley , farmer , of Richards Castle .

Robert Bulkeley stated that on August 22nd he saw two fowls with rings on their legs in a field at the back of the house . They were there the next day and he told his wife ; In the evening he I saw Thomas's wife feeding fowls by her door . He gave information to the police and went with I.C. Thomas to defendant's house . In a fowl house they found a hen with a ring on its leg . Defendant said if it had a ring on it was not his fowl .

Alice Everall Turningways , Risbury , stated she was married 15 years ago last May . She had known the defendant Reynolds for several years . She went . to Risbury 12 months last December . He Her husband was away on active service . He set sail in January , 1916. She was living at Railway Meadow from January , 1916 , till January , 1918 . She saw defendant in June or July , 1917.

On the following Saturday he came between 10 and 11 at night . She had gone to bed . He whistled outside and she let him in . He stayed until 4 or 5 o'clock in the morning . He came several times after that over a period of several weeks . Alderman Russell , drawing attention to the be- haviour of the defendant in Court , said he treated the matter as a light laughing matter . He was ashamed to see him . It was disgraceful the way he was acting . Defendant : She should be ashamed of herself . Alderman Russell ( severely ) : You behave your- self or you will find trouble . Let us have none of your impudence . that Continuing , complainant said defendant always came at night . He came into the kitchen . At the end of two months she told him of her condition and he did not deny his responsibility . 11e said he would send away for something for her to take . Defendant : Liar !

He then ceased to visit her . The child was born on June nth this year . In reply to the Clerk , complainant said the only other persons in the house were her five children , including a girl of 12 and a boy of 10 . In reply to Mr Tyrrell complainant said she knew defendant when they were at Newport , Mon. She saw him the Sunday before she met him at the cross roads . No one else whistled outside her . house . She knew a man mentioned by Mr. Tyr- rell . She had never been to the pictures . with him . He had driven her to Lcominster , but she had paid him the same as other people . She had been at a public house at Risbury , but only be- cause the people were relatives . Evelyn Edith Everall ( 12 ) , daughter of complain- ant , said she knew defendant and had seen him at the house . She remembered him coming in October last year and November . He came about 11 o'clock . She heard somebody whistling . Her mother asked who was there and he said " Wal- ters . " He sometimes came before she went to bed . He came several times . in the George Oliver Everall , Lance - Corporal RE . , stated that he left this country on January 20th , 1916 , and landed again at Southampton on June 6 , 1918. He was granted leave by his officer on account of his wife having a child . He had had notice to return to Egypt . In reply to Mr. Tyrrell defendant said he first knew of this trouble by letter he received on January 28th this year . He came home to have it . settled up . He was a party to these proceedings . George Everall , Bodenham , father of Lance- Corporal Everall , corroborated his son's statement as to his military service . In reply to Mr. Tyrrell witness said his was now living at Risbury . son Mr. W. C. Tyrrell said they must dispel from their minds the fact that the husband of the complainant was a man fighting for his country . They had to consider the hard facts of the case . Mr. Tyrrell proceeded to argue that under the Act the complainant was not entitled to call her- self a single woman There had been cases where married women could apply , but the case before them was not one of those cases , First of all there was not that corroboration which was neces sary to support the oath of the complainant . If they believed her they had to ask themselves whether a woman who acted as she had done was entitled to consideration . Mr. Tyrrell quoted a case in London where there was corroborative evidence , but the judges held that there was no authority which gave a married woman living with her husband the right to be treated as single woman under the Act . It was only where she was in fact living separate from her husband that she was so entitled . In that case they had case . a no evidence of such a separation . When the man came back again he condoned the offence and there was no separation . He submitted that the Magistrates had no jurisdiction to consider the Mr. Levick said the case quoted was i11 which the man was living with his wife . In this case they were not living together . The man was a soldier on active service in Egypt . In no sense or form could he be said to be living with his wife . He was not even . maintaining her . There онс was no - question that the defendant was legally liable and this civilian staying at home and work- ing in the farm , a strong able bodied man , was liable to maintain this child . Edwin James Preece , Green Lane , Orleton , was summoned for killing a , pheasant on September rd , being between 1st February and 1st October . Defendant after objecting to Mr. J. R. Hill ad judicating on the case pleaded guilty , but said it was an accident . John Williams , woodman , in the employ of Mr.corroboration and accordingly dismissed the case , The Bench retired , but without ruling on the point of law decided that there was not sufficient informing complainant that she could re - issue the summons if she could produce further evidence Hill , stated that on September 3rd he was in a wood near a field of oats . At 6.30 Precce came into the field and helped for a time shifting sheaves . He then fetched a gun from the bottom corner of the field . He shot two rabbits and then , a hen pheasant came to the border of the corn nd he shot that . Witness was 35 yards away . Defendant ran to the pheasant , picked it up and put it under a sheaf of oats . When Bufton came ' round he said it was a good ' un and told him to put it out of sight . After they had done cutting he fetched the bird , took it to the bottom corner and put it in his jacket pocket . Witness did not peak to them because he expected some more birds to come out . Defendant said he was a timber feller and went hand . action . When they were shoot to some rabbits . to give . Mr. Bufton finishing he got a a gun He killed two rabbits .

DEATH OF MRS . GODFREY . THE FUNERAL . It is with regret that we have to record the death of an old and much respected resident in the out parish of Leominster in the person of Mrs. Sarah Jane Godfrey , who . passed away on Monday morning in the 76th year of her age . Mrs. Godfrey was born at Ross , but very early in life she was brought by her widowed mother to Brierley Court , the home of her uncle , Mr. Samuel Griffiths . This was her own home until her mar- riage to Mr. Benjamin Godfrey , who was farming the Brick House adjoining . The late Mr. Benja min Godfrey , who succeeded his aunt , Mrs. Tipton , at Brick House , was a well known farmer of the district . At one time he sat on the Leominster Town Council as a representative of , the out parish . Mr. Godfrey died in 1896 , leaving a widow seven children . To the welfare of her family Mrs. Godfrey devoted her life with unsel- fish despite frequent illness . energy , Of her children six are still living . The farm has for some years been under the management of her son , Mr. B. G. Godfrey , who is a well known breeder of horses . It is a noteworthy fact that the family are the oldest tenants on the Here- fordshire estate of Sir John Wood , of Hengrave Hall , the farm having been occupied by succes- sive generations for 150 years . and North Herefordshire and the War . HONOUR FOR LEOMINSTER FLYING , OFFICER , a LIEUT . BRYON S. W. TAYLOR , D.F.C. , R.A.F. It is with pleasure that we announce a signal honour to a Leominster boy who is in the Royal Air Force - Lieutenant Bryon S. W. Taylor having been awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for gallantry in the air in the presence of the enemy . His father , Mr. S. R. Taylor , manager of Barclays Bank , Ltd. , Leominster , received the gratify- ing news on Tuesday that his son had been given the ribbon of the medal by his commanding offi . cer . The young officer ( he is only 19 ) whose gal- lantry is thus so prominently recognised is Leominster boy born in Broad Street and to the Grammar School falls the honour of having sup- plied his education . Upon leaving school he was articled to Mr. T. A. Matthews , solicitor , of Here- ford , passing his intermediate law examination at the age of 17. In April , 1917 , he joined the Inns of Court O.T.C. and later was selected for training as a flying officer . He went to France for a short time during the German otensive in March and went out again in April . During the six months which have since clapsed Lieut . Taylor has gone through a series of thrilling and nerve racking experiences with such distinction that he has made rapid progress and has been entrusted with important work . He has been engaged with the Independent Air Force in the raids over German territory . His post is that of observer and he has . charge of two guns . He has led formations of aeroplanes in over twenty raids and is officially credited with bringing four enemy planes down . " His duties include the important task of directing the course of the flight , observing " Archie " fire and reforming the machines in case of casualties . He has had many narrow escapes from death in air fighting and will have many a story of des- perate encounters to tell when he returns to his native town . His many friends in I , cominster will congratulate him heartily upon his brilliant career as an airman and will await with keen interest his future exploits . THE LATE LIEUT . POWELL - AKROYD . A memorial service was held in the Parish Church Wigmore , on Sunday last to Commemorate the death of Lieut . Frank Powell - Akroyd , only son of Mrs. Akroyd and stepson of Major Akroyd , of Wigmore Hall , who was killed in action in France on August 23rd . The Vicar ( the Rev. W. Bamford ) officiated . mongst those present were members of the family , including Major Akroyd , employees at the Hall , the Hon . Mrs. Dunne , Miss Monica Dunne , Captain Custance ( Tank Corps , Elton Hall ) , Lieut . Thomas , Mr. Joel Smith , and a representa- tive gathering of villagers , among whom were several boys in khaki , home on leave . An impres sive service concluded with the rendering of the " Dead March in Saul . Much sympathy is felt in the village for the bereaved family in their loss . DRIVER G. WARBURTON KILLED . We regret to state that official news has been received of the death in action of Driver George Warburton , M.T. , A.S.C. The sad tidings were received on Monday morning by his wife , who lives at Worcester Road . Driver Warburton , who was the eldest son I as of Mr. and Mrs. George War burton , Eaton Cottage , was previous to joining up in the employ of Mr. H. Bach as driver of his delivery van . He had served in France for . two years . The information to hand is to the effect that of returning from the line with his lorry he was killed by a bomb . He leaves a widow and one child . The late Mrs. Godfrey was of a most kind and hospitable disposition . The home was her sphere of influence and she took no part in public work , the welfare of her family being her principal care . She was very much interested in the ser- vices held at the Brierley Mission Room in con- nection with Ivington Church and attended long as she was able . Perhaps one of her most notable characteristics was her deep attachment to her church , while she shared her husband's strongly conservative views . She had been in failing health for some time and finally after increasing weakness passed peacefully away . Mrs. Godfrey was interred at Dilwyn in her mother's grave . In 1876 her uncle , Mr. Griffiths , retired to Dilwyn . Her mother , Mrs. Gay , went with him and was buried at the Parish Churchyard in 1881 . The funeral service took place at Ivington Church on Thursday afternoon , and was an im- pressive tribute to the memory of the deceased lady . The Rev. G. Walter ( Vicar ) was the offi- ciating clergyman . The choir was in attendance and Miss Aimson , of Weobley , presided at the organ . The hymns were " Now the labourer's task is o'er , " and " Peace , Perfect Peace . " an appropriate address the Rev. G. Walter spoke of the teaching of the Church as exemplified in the Burial Service . They had to thank God , he said , for their In Mrs. Warburton has received the following ict- ter from his commanding officer : - " It is with the deepest regret that I have to inform you that your husband was killed instan- taneously by a bomb dropped from enemy air- craft at 10 p.m. on the night of the 6th inst . , while in the execution of his duty . I beg you will accept the heartfelt sympathy both of myself and all his comrades on the column . I can assure you it is a very sad loss for all of us , as he was immensely popular with and everyone always cheery . The particulars of the occurrence are as follows . He was returning with his lorry from delivering ammunition at the battery , when passing a village an enemy aeroplane dropped two bombs almost simultaneously and these burst on the road practically at the side of his lorry and another lorry that was accompanying him , 1 regret to say that all four men in these two lor- ries were killed and unfortunately amongst them your husband . He has been buried in a British Military Cemetery by the Medical Authorities and I can assure you that every care possible will be taken of his grave through Church and her service of Christian burial which made holy and uplifting even the thing they called death , driving all its coldness away with thoughts of perfect rest and perfect peace in sure and certain hope of the resurrec tion to eternal life . , In the light of that message death became one of the great things of life ; it was not the end but the beginning of a new and bigger life . Especially did they thank God they laid to rest one whom they had all grown to love and what truer words could they say than " Blessed are the dead which die in the I , ord . " For those who mourned for her there was com fort . They had lost a dear relative , and would miss her whom they called " Mother , " and others ' I would miss her , those to whom it was such a pleasure to call her " friend . " They could as not help the feeling that Brierley would never be quite the same without Mrs. Godfrey , but they did not sorrow as men without hope . They missed her and grieved for her , but for her they could say " Happy are they which die in the Lord . " Look- ing at her life they could ask ad she the fear of the Lord , which is the beginning of wisdom ; did she try to follow the footsteps of The Master ; did she take trouble patiently , was she resigned to the will of God , did she live and die in love and charity with her fellow men ? It was so easy to give the answer " Yes " ; she loved her God and she loved her church . In concluding the Vicar said they took farewell of her whom they had loved , who lived her allotted span and lived it well . That was not all . Deep in their hearts the request came from that strange land , they called death , which said " Pray for my soul , " and to that request their love and their faith would surely reply . At the conclusion of the service the cortege journeyed to Dilwyn , where the interment took place , the committal . sentences being pronounced by the Rev. G. Walter . The mourners were : Mr. K. Godfrey ( son ) , Mr. B. G. Godfrey ( son ) , Miss Godfrey ( daughter ) , Miss M. Godfrey ( daughter ) , Miss E. N. Godfrey ( daughter ) , Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Chubb ( Leominster ) , Mr. T. S. Meredith , Mrs. Andrews , Mr. E. Andrews ( Caynham ) , Mr. and Mrs. Beaman ( Glas Llyn ) , Mr. George Godfrey , Mr. James Godfrey ( nephews ) , Mr. William Griffiths ( Stoke Prior ) .

THE DECLINING MORAL OF THE Removable battened floor , strongly built , bolted GERMAN ARMY .

The enemy is resisting strongly at some points , but at others the Gern : ans surrender readily when they find themselves surrounded . The Gertaans are moving guns in supplies northward as rapidly as possible , but the roads , softened by recent rains , are making their task very , difficult . The French and Americans are giving them no respite , hombarding and bombing them incessantly Villages are in in flames far to the German rear . One correspondent states that he saw 1,000 prisoners , including 30 officers , all Wurtembergers . All except the officers were glad to be captured . The war for them ( they said ) was over . An American aviator strafed two . German officers wliom he saw or horseback . He shot one , and the other fled to a dug - out . " The aviator then wheeled around the spot , forcing the officer to re- rain in biding till American infantry arrived and took him . The Americans also captured a German count , who was dressed in his best muiform and waiting with orderlies to surrender . Actions of this kind among officers is indicative of the rapidly- changing moral of the German Army . French officers all speak very highly of the fine . work of the American troops .

A detective said the police had been unable to ascertain anything further about the prisoner , as he refused to make any further statement . Mr. Denman ( magistrate ) said he was quite cer tain the prisoner had come to this country in this clandestine manner for some wrong purpose . The whole circumstances showed it . As to his state- ment that the American treatment of enemy aliens was cruel , he believed it to be absolutely untrue . The Americans , like the people of this country , regarded such aliens as nuisances at the . present time and it was only common sense on their part to see that proper precautions taken against them .
