Yet they must not allow the narrowing details of warfare to rob them of the great privi- They lege and duty of harvest . joy . needed to rise from the scenes of human hatred to the con- templation of God's goodness . The time of har- vest emphasised God's gracious compensation for the deprivations of war . There were those who saw in Nature nothing but cruelty and the sur- vival of the fittest . That was only a superficial and incomplete reading of Nature . Those people failed to see the kindly wisdom of God in equiva lents , and compensations . The harvest also taught them the fullness and generosity of God's good- ness . It was not that God provided a measured rather he unmeasured compensation , gave an bounty . They might look upon Nature as an ex- pression of physical existence , but there came by degrees to the open heart a vision of the God of Some saw only cruelty and injustice . Nature . They needed a more comprehensive view ; in the very heart of nature was the great love of the Father of Nature . Then they might look into social life and again God was certainly working for perfecting humanity . They lived in a redemp- tive world .

He asked them to take a long view , and to remember that all that was good in our modern civilisation could be traced directly or indirectly to the in- fluence of Christ's teaching . When they turned to the spiritual world they felt they could not fathom it , for the grace of God was without measure .

SUGAR FOR JAM MAKING . In some food areas grants of sugar have been made to the divisional commissioners on the under standing that the allotment shall not militate blackberry against the success of the national picking scheme owing to people preserving the berries instead of sending them to the jam fac tories . An official at the Ministry of Food stated that owing to the failure of the fruit crop many allowed them people did not use the sugar for jam - making . This sugar was returned to the Food Committees , who are now making it available for blackberry jam - making . The blackberry sugar , therefore , does not make any inroad into the general sugar stocks , MARKETS .

CORRESPONDENCE . THE EDITOR DOES NOT HOLD HIMSELF RESPONSIBLE FOR THE OPINIONS EXPRESSED BY HIS CORRESPONDENTS . ALL COM- MUNICATIONS FOR PUBLICATION MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY THE NAME AND ADDRESS OF THE SENDER , NOT NECESSARILY FOR PUBLICATION , BUT AS A GUARANTEE OF GOOD FAITH . WAGES AND PERQUISITES . To the Editor of the Kington Times . Sir , I attended a Labour Party meeting at Leo- minster on Sunday , September 15th , when the speakers dealt with the hours , wages and condi- tion of the agricultural labourer , houses , sanitary arrangements and water attached thereto , and their addresses were listened to very attentively by the few that were present . But what is 34s . per week for a man with a wife and family , to feed , clothe shoe and buy fuel ? It is impossible for the people to exist upon it . The increase in wages which the agricultural labourer and other classes of labour of this country have received during this terrible war is not so much good to them as when their wages were lower and com- modities were cheaper . I have heard some peop'e say " Oh , the farm labourer has a lot of per- quisites such as house rent free , potato ground , cider , firewood , etc. " True , but these perquisites were an inducement to the farm labourer to work for less wages . Now what do we see ? Now the Wages Board has been established throughout the country the farmer begin to cry out , telling his workmen who ask for the 31s . " Yes , you can have the full wages , but I shall stop so much for rent and other things that you get for nothing now . " men Cider is being charged for at anything from 1s . to 25 per gallon . So that when the farm labourer has paid for these extras he is practically in the same place , as he was with his small wages . As I heard a man say , It's as well leave the wages as they were . " These low wages do not apply only to the farm labourer . They apply to working for other employers that cannot afford large wages , but ought to pay more than they are doing . We all want to live , but when the low paid worker has got to compete with people working in Government works such as munition works , shipyards , etc. , where the wages afe anything from 3 to 8 per week I say it is a shame for such a disparity to exist in wages . I say " What is sauce for the goose should be sauce for the gander . " Now men of I.cominster and District rouse yourselves and get what are your rights . So long as you keep quiet wages will remain low . Yours truly , 62 , South Street , Leominster . JAMES MORRIS , DETERMINED SUICIDE AT LUDLOW . THE INQUEST . On Tuesday morning a sad case of suicide was discovered in a closet in the Greyhound Yard , I , udlow . It appears that a brewer's drayman named George Griffiths , married , of 91 , Greyhound Yard , who had been in ill health for some time , got up , had his breakfast and then went outside and later was found in the closet by Joseph Pearce , a baker , with his throat cut . Dr. Mils was called , but the man was past medical aid . On Tuesday evening Mr. H. T. Weyman ( Cor- oner ) held an inquest at the Police Station on the body of George Griffiths , aged 53 , a brewer's dray- man , of 91 , Greyhound Yard , who was found with . his throat cut that morning . Mr. George Stead , grocer , Tower Street , foreman of the Jury . The following evidence was taken : was Nellie Griffiths stated that she was the daughter of deceased . He was 53 years of age . She saw him last alive at 9 o'clock that morning at the house . He did not appear different . He had been suffering from influenza . Joseph George Pearce , a baker , living in War- rington Gardens , stated that he knew deceased very well . He was in Bicton Asylum for a time . He saw him a few days ago and spoke to him . He was then the same as usual . That morning at 20 minutes past 9 he went to the closet and found deceased there in a sitting position with his head on his chest . He thought the man was in a fit and called his daughter and they wrenched the door and he then saw that deceased had em his throat and was quite dead . There was по one else about . He gave information to the police . Sergeant Lovatt stated that that morning he was called to this case at 9.30 . He went there and found the door of the w.c. partly wrenched off . Ife took it right off and saw deceased in a sitting position and from the marks that were there be should say deceased was standing up when committed the deed . He found the razor on seat covered with blood . The man was quite dead . Dr. O. Mills stated that he knew the deceased and had known him for 3 years . The man had been an inmate of Bicton Asylum and was there 3 months and came out about the middle of May . He had seen him occasionally since he came out and he seemed to have recovered from the attack . He had verbal suicidal tendencies and he had asked people to shoot him , but he had never threatened to do anything to himself . An attack of influenza would bring on these tendencies le the again . He saw the body and the wound and it was such that the man committed it himself and was one that could have been inflicted by a razor . The wound would have caused death . The Jury returned a verdict of " Suicide whilst of unsound mind . " The Coroner expressed his sympathy with the family of the deceased . Cheney's Eczema Salve ANTISEPTIC . HEALING .

PROTHERO AND OUR FOOD SUPPLY . INCREASE IN PRICES . Mr. Prothero , speaking at a private dinner given by Sir Matthew Wilson in honour of the American editors now visiting this country , said that judg- ing by acreage we now had the largest corn crop in the United Kingdom that we had ever recorded in this country . Yet with all our efforts he be lieved that in the first few months of this year we might have very well failed . No doubt but for the huge additional potato crop we grew in 1917 we might have been very well starved into submission It was a touch and go . He did not know , and he did not suppose the nation appreciated , the position they were in . If they did it reflected the utmost credit upon their composure and steadiness .

SAVE FUEL AND LIGHTING . was The following are further extracts from the correspondence of the Coal Controller as to fuel and light waste and the best means of avoiding it : - A nursing sister says she has kept her clothes boiler going by burning in the furnace a mixture of coal dust , riddled cinders , orange and lemon peelings , tea leaves , nut shells , rhubarb parings , This fuel is incorporated by pouring soup on the ingredients and thoroughly mixing them . Soap suds poured on coal , the sister claims , causes it to last longer . etc. suds Complaint is made of extravagant lighting in large retail establishments during the day time as being unfair to small shopkeepers and house- holders . Light and fuel economy in churches is urged . Cases are instanced where two . churches of the same denomination in the same locality are being used when one would be more than sufficient . There is great waste in lighting and heating a church seated for 500 people to accommodate a congregation of 40 persons . It is suggested that during the winter months services should be held in the afternoon instead of in the evening . thus saving lighting . A Yorkshire lady sends the following recipe for a sawdust , fire . Line the fireplace with sheet iron leaving the front partially open for draught . Lay paper and a little firewood and fill up the grate to a depth of 6 or 8 inches with sawdust . Venti- late the mass by placing a stick like a broom handle down the centre , the stick to be withdrawn when the fire is lighted , thus leaving a hole down the middle of the sawdust which will smoulder for hours , throwing out a great heat as the sheet iron becomes red hot . Slightly damp the sawdust . HIGHER COAL PRICES . RISE OF 1/6 PER TON . 1918 .

Held under the auspices of the Herefordshire Commis- Farmers ' Union , the Area Live Stock siorer ( Mr F. W. Wright , Birmingham ) attended coi ferences with farmers at Ledbury , Hereford , and Ross , on Tuesday , Wednesday , and Thursday last , At the outset the Conumissioner explained . that his object was to promote an interchange of views and to xplain ,, it needed , the reasons why control was necessary . They knew that before the Government took control butchers were cutting cach other threats and driving fat stock up to fabulous good prices . This was bad for the com munity and not for the farmers . Just now the great object of the Ministry of Food was to conserve the supplies of fat stock so as to avoid a " a pinch " in the early part of the coming year . The inter- national , or inter - allied situation made it necessary that all supplies be pooled so that ail might share . alike . Farmers were asked to strive after in- creased production , althoug difficult , and , it may be , unprofitable : Farmers had done nobly in face of great difficulties and they were not " profit- eers . " He reminded his heirers that during the Napoleonic Wars wheat soared to 140s . per quar- ter and beef 1205. per cwt . and yet when peace was proclaimed and outside supplies were plenti- ful prices tumbled down until 33 per cent of the farmers became bankrupt and men were glad to hire themselves for a bare subsistence in food . He contended that the present controlled prices . would be justified after the war and should be maintained . Commis- were Replying to a number of questions the sioner stated ( 1 ) that Grading Committees instructed to turn back any animal that could profitably be fed into greater weight . quite agreed that where the necessary accommoda- tion was available all fat sheep should be weighed and the live weight taken as the basis of the graders ' decision as to the carcas weight . I ( 3 ) Fresh store cattle , such were shown at the 110 Hereford and other October Fairs , would run risk of being drawn upon by the graders as the Government was not commandeering cattle at present . ( 4 ) He would bring forward the question of live weight of sheep in London next week . ( 5 ) . Although not his department , he did what pe could to induce the Government to provide the necessary feeding stuff's . as The Commissioner was cordially thanked for . attending and it was generally acknowledged that the conferences had done much to clear the air and promote a better feeling and should be pro- ductive of future good .

The Chairman said there was a letter from Major Seel asking if the Guardians could allow any cases of illness of the Portugese at present in Ludlow to be removed to the Infirmary at the Workhouse for a few days . - The Clerk informed him they had no power to do so . Miss O. M. Davies , Assistant Nurse , applied to the Board for a testimonial . The Clerk was directed to give Miss Davies a testimonial . op : Y.M.C.A. VISIT OF THE REV . JOHN MCNEIL ... Iudlow and the district had on Sunday and Mon- day a special visit of the Rev. John McNeil , of the Y.M.C.A. , on behalf of the Hut Weck , which commences on September 23rd . Last year Ludlow And district were asked to raise a sunr for pro- viding a hut for the men . on the Western Front and a sum of £ 1,300 was raised and the hut was named the Ludlow and District Hut , " and was placed near the fighting line . This Hut during the great German push was lost with many others and an effort is being made to replace the Lud- low Hut and a sum of £ 1,000 is being asked for from Ludlow and district . An office has been opened at the top of Broad Street , lately occupied by Messrs . Freeman Hardy and Willis , and Mr. Hastings , of the Y.M.C.A. , is in charge . On Sun- day the first , njecting was held at Stokesay Castle in the Old Banqueting Hall . There was a good attendance . ( 2 ) He Mrs. Rotten ( Stokesay Court ) pre- sided and Mr. Bateson explained the object of the meeting . The meeting was afterwards addressed by the Rev. J. McNeil . A collection took place for the funds . On Sunday evening there was a crowded meeting in the Town Hall , Ludlow , at 8 o'clock , The chair was occupied by the Vener able Archdeacon Maude , who was supported by the Rev. J. McNeil and a number of clergy . The meeting opened with a hymn and prayer by the Archdeacon . The Archdeacon in opening the meeting said the Y.M.C.A. had done wonderful work in this present war . They all knew that from the letters of the men at the front . The King was a patron . The Y.M.C.A. was practical , economical , and all it did it carried out in the best possible way . It was the largest organisation of its kind . They at Ludlow were asked to do their best to put up the Hut again which was destroyed this year - Mr . Bateson addressing the meeting said the Hut put up by Ludlow last year . Kad been destroyed and they were arranging to give Ludlow , and the district during the week from the 23rd of September to the 30th an portunity of raising a sum of £ 1,500 . Last year they raised £ 1,300 and he did not see any reason why they should not be able to , raise £ 1,500 this year for a new Hut . He asked that all who were willing to help , in obtaining this sum should call at the Depot in Broad Street . He urged all to come forward and help to do the work . He wanted ladies to do the house to house collection and a flag day on September 30th . He asked them all to do their best to make it a great success . The Rev. John McNeil , who was received with applause , said he was delighted to see such a large gathering . He had been called in to help . He had been a member for a long time . He found the value of it in his younger days in Edinburghi . He himself lived in Denver in America when war broke out . His heart was here and he was asked to come back . He was comfortably situated and had a comfortable nest . He pulled it all up , re- signed and came . He had been in various parts of the front . They had 2,000 Huts in various parts of the world and they were always wantin new Huts and more money . They never paid a divi dend . They felt it was the nation's work . There were other organisations which had Huts out there and who were doing excellent work . The Y.M.C.A. was the largest organisation and the ouly rivalry amongst them was to do their best for the men ( applause ) . They did more than 1 ligiols work . They tried to be handy men . ile wished to say how splendidly the women had risen to the occasion and helped in every possible way . There were thousands of unpaid women in France working at their own expense , working and doing all they could to help the soldiers . They had to deal with the wounded . " It was said by some that they were making money out of it . They made money from the canteens , but , it all went back to the soldiers . It was false to say they were making money out of it . Any adverse eriti cism came from the Wet Canteen because the men used the Dry Canteen and not the Wet Canteen . The accounts are audited every six months and He went on to give his results published .. perience with the troops at the front and was fre ; In conclusion quently applauded . the speaker rged all to do what they could to make the Hut Week a success , and said he hoped they would raise the money required for the Ludlow Hut ( ap plause ) . The meeting concluded with a hymn , daring which a collection was made . Prayer was offered by Archdeacon Maude . THE FUEL AND LIGHTING Wednesday evening a meeting was held in the Council Chamber of tradesmen to consider the question of closing their shops one hour earlier with a view to economising in the use of coal and lighting . There was a small attendance . The NEW TRACTOR SCHEME . Mayor ( Alderman E. Sheldon ) presided and said Certain of the War Agricultural Conimittees have he had been asked by the Council to call the lately represented to the Food Production Depart- meeting of the tradesmen with view to seeing ment the desirability of considering proposals for if they could all agree . to close their businesses one hour earlier .

He felt every charges , etc. , which it is believed will afford ade- loyal citizen would support the Government . He quate protection to the farmer . knew that , in the town a great many people were asking the Coal Committee for a great deal more coal than was absolutely necessary , and they were asking on the basis that they were entitled to one ton for every grate . He considered they should consider their poorer neighbours and the price was very high . l'eople had asked for 8 tons , when they will probably get 4 tons , and they had asked for more coal than was really necessary . He belieyed that in the end they would get one third taken off . He believed that a lot had been asked for which would not be required and even if it was it will not be supplied . He did hope that neither the Allies , the munition works , er the Navy , would not be short of what they must have and what we if possible must do without He had received a circular from the Board of Trade asking him to do what he could and to The position call attenfion to the coal shortage . was serious and he asked all to economise in the use of coal , gas and electricity . They had in Ludlow taken steps before the circular arrived to try and do what they could . With such a small attendance it wou'd not be well to pass a resolu- tion . He was interested in a trade which was regulated by Act of Parliament , and they had to submit . They as tradesmen were at liberty to act on their own initiative . It would be wise if the tradesmen of Ludlow could agree to close their shops at 6 o'clock ; it would be a saving of a large . amount of ccal and light . - Councillor Bodenham said his firm had decided to close at 6 o'clock . every night in the week except Saturday . He should suggest that all the traders close at 6 , ex- cept on Saturdays , then 8 o'clock . - Mr . Payton said it should be unanimous , as Mst time some of his trade refused to close . - Mr . Bodenham suggested that the Mayor and another go round the trades men and ask them to close . - Mr . Peate proposed Mr. Bodenham's suggestion as a resolution . Mr. Payton seconded . Carried unanimously . The Mayor said he should be pleased to do so . The meeting then closed . On and after Monday last the delivery price of household coal in the metropolitan division will be increased by 1s . 6d . per ton . This includes the usual winter increase in prices in accordance with the practice in London . There will be no altera- tion in the delivery prices of gas coke or in the trolley prices of coal . In addition to inconvenience , if not distress , caused by the shortage of household coal , the country is faced with the possibility of rationing industries . Assuming it is decided to reduce the coal supplies to various industries , this will mean that millions of workpeople will be directly indirectly affected . or The latest figures in possession of the Coal certain parts of the country make it clear that supplies in hand are dangerously low and that the utmost economy is necessary . In London there were , on August 31 , 185 , obo tons of coal in stock , compared with 341,000 tons in the early part of March . This time last year most of the private cellars in this country were stocked with coal , but this year there is reason to believe that a large proportion still remain to be filled . Controller regarding the stocks of house coal n WHOLESALE PRICE OF MILK FIXED . 1 , SUPPLIES FOR MOTHERS AND CHILDREN . The Food Controller announces that he has fixed the maximum price that may be paid to a pro- ducer for milk sold wholesale from October 1918 , to April 30 , 1919 , inclusive , at 3d . per gallon . The Controller calls particular attention to the Milk ( Mothers and Children ) Order , 1918 , which provides that any local authority may , and when required by the Local Government Board 28 . shall , in necessitous cases arrange for the supply of a specified amount of food and milk for expect- ant mothers and nursing mothers , and of milk for children under 5 years of age , free or at less than cost price . He also calls attention to the power vested in Local Food Committees to require retail milk dealers to supply milk to young children and in- valids in priority to other persons . When a local shortage of milk occurs Food Committees should immediately put such a priority scheme into op- cration . MILK DEFICIENT IN CREAM . CURIOUS LEGAL , ANOMALY IN A RUSHALI CASE .. was Thomas Meeke , cowkeeper , New Street , summoned at Rushall on Monday for selling milk which was 25 per cent . deficient in cream . Mr. H. Van Tromp , county inspector , who prosecuted , said he had to admit that the law was against him , but he had been instructed to bring the case into court in order that the facts might be made public . There was no question as to the Door quality of the milk , and it had been ad mitted by defendant's wife that some part of the third part of the milking , which contained practi cally all the cream , had been given to calves , which explained why the milk sold by defendant to his customers was of such poor quality . It had been held , however , by the High Court that if milk was sold in the state in which it came from the cow no offence was committed . Conse quently in a case of this kind the Jaw as it stood gave the public no redress . Mr. II . H. Jackson , defending , urged that the poorness of the milk was due to the fact that de- fendant had been . short of feeding stuff for his cattle . CX- The magistrates , in dismissing the case , pressed the opinion that the law should be altered to meet the circumstances which had been dis- closed in the case Joseph Holden , Stonehouse Farm , Sand Hills , A near Stonnall , was at the same court , fined £ 5 for selling milk containing added water , and which was also deficient in cream . Defendant denied . that the milk had been tampered with . HOW GERMANS ARE GULLED . TRYING TO SOOTHE THE SOLDIERS ' NERVES . With the British Army , September 16.- An ad- vance to a depth of 1 , obo yards in the Ypres Canal sector , accompanied by the capture of 47 prisoners , appears to be the principal item of news from the British front since last night . General von Marwitz is evidently in a state of great consternation regarding the moral of his army . He has promulgated a flamboyant mandate , wltich opens : It is absolutely incomprehensible that inconceivable rumours have been spread about behind the front during the last few days by people who have lost their nerve . People with anxious nerves saw everywhere squadrons of Tanks , masses of cavalry , and thick lines of enemy infartry . " This artist in superlatives then proceeds to demonstrate how victorious the Ger- mans actually were at that time . Some of them thought their enemics were getting rather the best of it . Another good example of the crude sort of eye- wash German soldiers are expected to accept is an order issued by headquarters of the 2nd Guards Division . The burthen of its complaint is that infantry in the batttle scarcely made any use their rifles , and then , follows a dissertation upon the wonderful feats achieved by those who did not throw their weapons away . The sting is in the of tail . " Men who come back from the front anal are met by the military police without their arms will be punished by court - martial . " Which is as good as an invitation to men without arms to go over and surrender to the enemy . ANOTHER WEDDING RING STORY . In the village of Bembridge , Isle of Wight , 25 years ago , a woman in throwing away her wash- ing water found that she had also thrown away her wedding ring . Search was made in vain . Last week the husband , in digging up his potatoes , dug 11p the wedding ring with a potato plant growing through it .

Heavy fines were inflicted on Tuesday at Liver pool at the instance of the Board of Trade against the New Moors Colliery Company , Lancashire , and H. S. Higginbottom , coal merchants , Liverpool . informations They were charged on 14 with having sold or offered to sell coal in 1917 at prices above the statutory limit . The prosecution stated that in one transaction of 30,000 tons illegitimate profit amounted to 9,50 . The defence was that having regard to the ex- traordinary difficulty of interpreting and working the Coal Prices at Order , defendants had sold prices which left only a reasonable profit . It was also stated that under the statute defendants had elaimed against the Coal Controller in respect of loss of working , as compared with the previous year , of £ 37,000 . In convicting the defendants , the magistrate re- marked that he had come to the conclusion that much of the evidence given by Mr. Higginbottom was untrue . Defendant had systematically and deliberately paid no attention to the provisions of the Limitation of Coal Prices Order . The com pany was fined £ 750 and £ 500 costs and Higgin bottom 1,096 , with 500 costs . PIG'S SWIM FOR HOME . A pig of a few months old , when being con- veyed across Loch Etive , jumped out of the boat as it neared the south shore and swam to land . Then , setting , his face for home , plunged into the water again , and , battling with the strong cur rent , reached his goal safely after a swim of fully half a mile .
