William Hodgkinson Marston , J.P. , of Ludlow , and of Gattertop , senior partner of Messrs . Mars- ton Brothers , grocers , Ludlow , left estate valued at £ 38,535 gross , with net personalty £ 37,076 . Testa- tor left to his servants and employes of Marston Brothers of over one year's service . one month's wages The residue of his property is left to his children equally , half of daughter's share to be in trust for issue . Sir Arthur Yapp , speaking at the weekly V.M.C.A. prayer meeting at the Mansion House , said that he was leaving for America almost immediately and would be away for two months . His mission I was not to appeal to the Americans for 20 millions sterling for the work of the Y.M.C.A. , as had been stated in some of the newspapers , but the more modest errand of bearing a message of good will from the Y.M.C.A. in Great Britain to the kindred organisation in the United States . • • • the The retirement of Mr. C. Eastment from position he has , held for 25 years as manager of the Leominster Gas Company will occasion gen- eral regret . Mr. Eastment is a popular figure in the life of the town and he has a large circle of friends . His business has brought him into con- tact with the majority of his fellow townsmen and his courtesy in his official capacity has been widely appreciated . He is a prominent member . and officer of the Leominster Bowling Club . His retirement is occasioned , we are sorry to say , by ill health , coupled with the increasing strain of maintaining the town supply . of gas under the very difficult and anxious conditions of to - day . Fortunately Mr. Eastment is remaining in the town with which he has been so long and honour- ably connected , and his many friends will join in hoping that , freed from the pressure of business under war time conditions , he will enjoy health and strength for many years to come . The Ministry of Food has issued a most interest- ing publication entitled " Food and How to Save it " ( revised edition ) , by Dr. E. I. Spriggs , the well - known authority on matters relating to diet . A limited number of copies are available gratis for public speakers and others interested apply to the Ministry of Food ( Room 605 ) , Palace Chambers , Westminster , S.W.1 .

Morris , Marshall and Poole held their annual supplemen tary ewe sale on Tuesday last in conjunction with their ordinary fat and store auction and grading . Upwards of 2,000 sheep were penned , which changed hands , but prices ruled a few shillings per head lower than at other markets , owing no doubt to the inclemency of the weather . Several bunches of yearlings and two - year - old steers were eagerly sought after and changed hands at satisfactory prices . The attraction of the grading was the fact that 14 , fat cattle were shown and were some of the best specimens ever scen at Presteign fat stock auctions , After the allocations to the various butchers had been dis- posed of 92 cattle were sent to the abbatiors at Cardiff for slaughter .

ALL COM- MUNICATIONS FOR PUBLICATION MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY THE INAME AND ADDRESS OF THE SENDER , NOT NECESSARILY FOR PUBLICATION , BUT AB A GUARANTEE OF GOOD FAITH . FARMERS AND THE HARVEST . To the Editor of the Kington Times . Sir , -A London newspaper publishes an article stating that farmers . don't want to harvest their grain owing to shortage of feeding stuffs for poultry , as only damaged corn is allowed for their consumption . " How very encouraging such malicious statements and venomous untruths seem , for in this district alone one sees thousands of acres of grain absolutely rotting , for there has been three weeks almost continuous downpour . To read statements of this description is exasperat- ing . Perhaps another year this newspaper will get the harvest in themselves . I trust they have better , weather than North Herefordshire has this year . HARVESTER OF 160 ACRES .. GERMAN PRISONER'S ACCIDENT . HAS ONE ESCAPED ? On Monday at Rochford , Tenbury Wells , Emil Gruss , a German prisoner of war , was reported drowned , on the evidence of other prisoners . Three prisoners were crossing the river Teme near the Peacock Hotel , when the boat upset . Two of the men got safely to the bank , but the third , Emil Gruss , has not since been seen . One theory is that he escaped , but on the other hand it is thought , in view of the treacherous nature of the currents at this point , that it is more likely that he was drowned , unless he was a strong swim- mer . AWARD TO BURFORD CONSTABLE . Police Constable J. Lycett , of Burford , has been awarded by the new Chief Constable of Shropshire a Merit Badge for long and meritorious service . INQUEST AT EARDISTON .

The Mayor said the movement was started as the Mayor's Fund for the prisoners of war in Germany , for the men from Ludlow , but it had been extended The Committee had been enlarged and he had called that meeting so that it could be discussed and that the people of Ludlow might know what was being done . They in Ludlow had been asked by the county for a sum of £ 50 a quar- ter . That would take time to get hold of , though he had no doubt when the people of Ludlow knew what was necessary they would provide the money . Mr. W. E. Harper , Hon .

A subscription had been sent from Bitterley to be spent on the Bif terley men . Most of the men belonged to the K.S.I.I. , but donations had been sent to the Regimental Committer of the Manchester , Mon- mouth and other regiments which Ludlow men were when taken prisoners . Three food parce's were sent every fortnight . At present 200 men of the Shropshires were receiving parcels at the cost of £ 3 a month . - Mr . Hunter said the parcels sent to the Shropshires were of extremely good value . The Secretary said he wished relatives understood that when they sent a personal parcel they could not expect an acknowledgment in less than two months . The report was adopted . The Mayor drew attention to the fact that the Royal Artil- lery not being members of any county regiment they did not participate in the parcels . - Mrs . Rot- ten explained that there was a special fund.It was decided to send a donation of £ 5 to this fund . The Mayor said they had a good balance , but had it not been for the Patriotic Fete they would not have had sufficient to micet the next £ 50 which was due on November 3rd . The Mayor appealed for further subscriptions to the fund . MARKETS .

LINER TORPEDOED : 154 MISSING . MANY WOMEN AND CHILDREN AMONG THE VICTIMS . HARROWING SCENES . The Union - Castle liner Galway Castle , outward bound for South Africa , with about 1,000 persons on board , sailed from a Channel port on Tuesday afternoon of last week , and was torpedoed by an enemy submarine at 7am . on Thursday . The loss of life is not quite certain , but is probably 154 , including 20 first class passengers , 10 second class , 90 third class , and 34 members of the crew . The passengers . numbered 749 , of whom the great majority were women and children . Among the others were many discharged soldiers return- ing to their homes in South Africa . Among the survivors are the Hon . Henry Burton , Minister of Railways in South Africa , and Mr. Chiappini , South African Trades Commissioner . MOTHER , DAUGHTER , AND SON ON A RAFT . Among the survivors of the Galway Castle are Mrs. Kidd , of Perth , her daughter and her son , a boy of 8. Mrs. Kidd was returning to her hus- band in South Africa . The lifeboat in which they embarked capsized , but although thrown into the water they never lost hold of each other . They were ultimately taken upon a raft much larger than a kitchen table , where they remained until picked up by a destroyer . Another survivor was Corporal Mason , who had just completed his training as a poultry farmer at St. Dunstan's . He was returning to his home country with his mother , and the birds , plant , and outfit given him by St. Dunstan's to set up h's own poultry farm were lost . He and his mother were placed in a boat , and the blind soldier pulled an oar . His boat rescued five disabled soldiers from a raft , and picked up a woman and child from another raft . Among the passengers on the liner was Sunderland family , Mrs. Raphaelson and her six children , who were on their way to Johannesburg to join Mr. Raphaelson . The only survivors of the family are a boy of 16 and a girl 13 . The Rhodesia Press Association understands passengers booked for the sailed in the Galway Castle , not that the eventually THE LABOUR VIEW . SPEECHES AT LEOMINSTER . MR . S : BOX AND THE MINIMUM WAGE .. and the He Under the auspices of the local Labour Party a meeting was called for Sunday afternoon in the Corn Square . The weather was unfavourable and a very small attendance adjourned to the Hull , Etham Street . Mr. S. Box presided speaker was Mr. Collins , of Hereford . The Chairman spoke briefly on the subject of the minimum wage for agricultural labour and the origin and objects of the Wage Board . touched upon the food problem created by the U - boats , and said the Government asked the land- owners and farmers to grow more corn . Instead of that wave of patriotism they heard of it was found that the societies they had built up were selfish ones . They said " We will do what you Ask if you guarantee a certain price . " The Govern ment realising that the land was controlled and owned by the farmer and landlord , gave in and guaranteed prices until 1922 under the Corn Pro- . duction Act . In the meantime the Labour Party was doing something for the farm labourer , who had in the past refused to help himself . The Labour members said that if corn was to be a guaranteed price something must be done for the labourer . The employers said the most they could give was 25s . Labour brought forward an amendment for 30s . and the Liberals and Conser- vatives opposed it and even fetched M.P's . from . France to defeat it . The Labour Party then said it must be left to the Wages Board to determine the rates to be paid in each district . That Board had been established and in cach county there were District Wages Committees which advised the Board in London as to local wages and conditions . The Board had fixed for Herefordshire a minimum wage of 31s . for 56 hours in summer and 48 hours in winter , 8d . per hour overtime and 10d . per hour for Sunday labour . Referring to the cider question , he said the Unions were neither for or against the use of cider . What they did insist upon was that it should not be reckoned as part . of the wages and thus rob the women and children . They wanted the men to think more their wives and families and less of the cider bottle . He pointed out that the minimum wage was compulsory from July 22nd , but the District Wages Committee passed a resolution asking far- mers to make it retrospective from April 1st . it was said farmers were giving with one hand and taking back with the other , but they would not have it all their own way . The labourers ' repre- sentatives asked for 35s . The farmers said but we will not deduct anything for perquisites . " They had immediately started to do that however and they were making a rod , for their own backs . The present wage would operate until March next and owing to the action of the farmers in charg ing every penny piece they possibly could , they were determined to ask for another . 5s . , or perhaps , 10s . per week , in order to have money to pay for perquisites . Referring to the rates for boys and women he said that when they asked for a cer- tain price a farmer objected saying that labour was not quite so scarce and that he could get soldiers at 258. per week and German labour at 5d . per hour . If that was so he considered that all classes of agricultural workers should come under the minimum wage . He wrote to London on the subject and now man labour was to be paid for at the . minimum rate . Speaking of housing Mr. Box stated that a farmer could not charge more than 3s . for the best cottages , while for the cottages which were badly situated , small , or insanitary , the labourer could get the rent reduced to the proper standard . There were houses that were worth sixpence per week and sixpence would have to be the rent . This question would be decided by a farmer , a labourers representative and an independent gentleman . He asked workmen to let him know of cases where farmers were not paying the 31s . or were charging more than 3s . for rent . Mr. Collins gave an address on the principles . Labour Party based upon a and objects of the pamphlet published by the Labour Party and en titled Labour and the New Social Order . " He seid these aims were plain , practical , drastic some of them , progressive all of them , and thor- oughly up to date . They could not shut their eyes ito the fact that the new electorate was not fully equipped educationally and politically to work out , their own salvation . Their immediate business was to develop the minds of every man , wonian and child in order to fit them for the great inheri- tance which would be theirs in the good time " coming . The 15 proposals in the pamphlet cov- ered the entire area of the new social order , in- eluding finance , politics , the Government , of the country , education , industry , housing , wages , pub lic health , child welfare , and even public morality and religion . Behind the reconstructive policy of the Labour Party was the fundamental principle of the right to live and the right to work , the right to food for the body , the right to knowledge for the mind , a standard of life which had been . de- nied to hundreds , to thousands and to millions of their fellow men . The Labour Party said that public finance must not be the basis of national life ; in its place they put the public health and well being . The question should be , not " Will it pay ? " but " Will it add to the general welfare of the community , and will it help us to live a beautiful life ? " ATTEMPT TO SEND INFORMATION TO THE ENEMY . DAUGHTER OF A PRUSSIAN OFFICER SENT TO PRISON . At the Central Criminal Court , on Martha Wilhelmina Clara Earle ( 65 ) was charged Monday , with collecting information useful to the enemy and communicating it by code and other secret means to Baroness T. Von Bothier in Dresden . The case was heard in camera . On the court being gain opened to the public , Mr. Justice Darling , addressing the jury said the defendant was the daughter of a Prussian officer , and was married to a German . She was left a widow , and afterwards married an Englishman named Earle . Her sister lived in Dresden , and th defendant had been in the habit of sending letters to her in Switzerland . The question was , had she infringed a regulation in regard to col lecting and reporting information as and submarine successes and sending it to Ger- to aircraft many ? Fortunately , the letters never reached Germany . They were stopped by the Censor . No one was more averse than himself from doing injustice to people . simply because they German birth . were of A number of people seemed to have lost their heads altogether over this matter . They would condemn a person for stirring tea with a German silver teaspoon , or for having a German silver watch in his pocket . But in the case of real proof of offences against the regula- tions it was right there should be a conviction in all calmness and punishment . The jury having found defendant guilty , Mr. Justice Darling said he did not think the letters she had written were of much use to the enemies of this country , but it was perfectly plain from the expressions she had used that it would have been very gratifying to her if she could have as sisted them in a manner prejudicial to this country . She wrote with a full knowledge of all the abominable atrocities of which the Germans had been guilty towards women , and children 111 Belgium , and although she had done this country no harm , she was perfectly prepared to do so . She was liable to penal servitude for life , but the sentence would be twelve months ' imprisonment in the second division , and he was perfectly cer- tain she would be interned for the remainder of the war . BELGIANS BETRAYED . WARNED BY A WOMAN , GERMANS SHOOT DOWN FUGITIVES . Amsterdam , Tuesday . Les Nouvelles , " pub lished at The Hague , announces that a terrible tragedy occurred on the Belgian frontier of the Dutch Province of Limburg during the night of September 13 .. One hundred and seventy Belgian patriots attempted to get through the electrified wire at the frontier . According to the reports of specta- tors of the tragedy , which took place at Mesch , near Eysden , the party had been betrayed by a woman and the Germans had been forewarned . A group of ten men who had decided to sacri- fice their lives if necessary went soldier labour and Ger- ahead in order to surprise the sentinels and cut the wire . They managed to kill three German soldiers who ' tried to arrest them , but machine - guns were sud- denly brought into action against them , and the ten Belgians fell before they were able to cut the wire . Continuing , Mr. Collins said that if he were asked to state the corner stone upon which the Labour Party hoped to build this new social , order he should name first and foremost Public Health , " which meant better housing and wages , a higher standard of living , and a fairer distribu- tion of productive wealth . The first principle of the Labour Party was to secure for every member of the community in good times and bad times a fair share of the requisites of a healthy life and worthy citizenship . As Sir George Newman , one . of their fellow townsmen , stated in his report to the Board of Education , " The first line of defence against disease is a healthy , well nourished and resistant human body . " Mr. Collins also , quoted the Mayor of Hereford , who in referring to prob lems facing the city , said the Council must make a change in their mental attitude . Hitherto the- Finance Committee had been regarded as the most important of all Committees , but in his judgment the Health Committee was far pore important be cause our first duty was to secure the welfare of the citizens . Health and not finance must be the first consideration both in national and local affairs . Mr. Collin went on to touch upon finance , housing , railways , the liquor , trade , coal . mines , and agricultural land . A vote of thanks to the speaker and Chairman concluded the meeting . AGED LADY'S PLUCK . The liveliest member of the whole party . of British women who returned to 1 , ondon on Sun- day , after long detention in Belgium , was Mrs. J. Jones , of Rue de la Grosse Tour , Brussels , aged 82 Mrs. Jones was separated three years ago by the Germans from her blind son , who sent him to England and refused to allow her to accompany him . Thrown on her own resources , in circum- stances that would have broken the spirit of , many people of half her years , she refused to give way to despair , but set to work with extraordin- ary vigour to earn her own living . She let a part of her house and made a certain amount of money , but nothing like enough to cover the appalling cost of food in Belgium under war conditions . Then she decided to augment her . means by teaching English , and found several Belgian pupils - for Germans she had no vacan cies . " In this way she Supported herself entirely without assistance . She found a few friends , and their kindness made her life endurable . Without them her condi- , tion would have beea pitiable , as for more than ! three years she had heard nothing of her rela tives in England , although they had repeatedly tried to get news of her . When she was told last week that she would be allowed to return home she realised her goods and was ready to leave , in 24 hours . On the voy- . age to England she was the only member of the party who did not suffer from sea sickness , She states that in Belgium sugar is 8 francs a pound and butter 10 francs for half a pound , and that flour is 8 francs a pound and abominably- adulterated . The bread ration is only one loaf weekly , and fats are almost unobtainable . WOMAN'S HOARD UNDER FLOOR . For converting to his own use about 600 , the property of Amelia Dickenschred , Henry . II . Rutherglen was sentenced at the Old Bailey on Monday to 12 months ' imprisonment . Rutherglen was superintendent relieving officer . to Wandsworth . Board of Guardians , and the woman Dickenschred ,. English born but the wife of an interned German baker , applied to the board for relief . Rutherglen got to know that she had money concealed in the house an1 , by telling her that the police were about to search the 11emises , he was alleged to have obtained f895 in gold and notes , part of it being ren oved from under the kitchen floor Rutherglen's defence was that he had lost all the money except £ 80 in a business he started to 1ro-- vide work for the wives of interned aliens . Thereupon onl 70 of their companions , including three Sisters of Charity acting as nurses , were arrested .. The others succeeded in escaping to the interior of Belgium after a sanguinary man- hunt . EL SOUVENIRS OF A VOYAGE . ob- A Catholic priest and a Japanese wireless oper to : figured in a case under D.O.R.A. at Liverpool on Saturday . The priest was Father Char'es Joseph Cranfield , and he was charged with taining information , relative to the course of ships . The charge against the operator was that of unlawfully collecting information with respect to a convoy which was being escorted .

The other document was given to him by a sig . naller , also as a memento . " He be voyage It was intimated that the signaller would be dealt with by the naval authorities . Cranfield was fined 50 and Tazawa £ 25 . HOW TO USE BEETROOT AND SUGAR BEET . Although any gardens are well stocked with . beetroot , comparatively few housewives find any use for it , other than as a pickle . It is , however . delicious if served hot as a vegetable , either alone or in combination with other foods . It also makes an excellent substitute for dried fruit in puddings , and cakes . Glace Beetroot ( for use in cakes and puddings instead of fruit ) .- 1 lb. cooked beetroot ( with peel removed ) , 1b . sugar , lb. corn syrup , pint water , teaspoonful citric acid . " Method . - Firs : Day - Bring the water , acid , sugar and . Syrup to the boil . Add the beetroot , cut into slices about inch in thickness . Boil gently for about 15 minutes . I.cave in the syrup for 24 hours . Second Day . Bring all to the boil again and cook gently for another 15 minutes , then leave for 24 hours . Third Day - Repeat the boiling for 15 minutes . The syrup should then be as thick as golden syrup . If necessary boil for a few minutes longer , Remove the pieces of beetroot from the syrup by means of a fork , then place them on a cake wire or a wire sieve to drain in warm place for a few hours . Pack away in a tin . Note . Add the syrup which drains from the fruit to that left in the pan . It re - crystallises and can be used in cooking . The sieve or tray must be placed over a clean plate to catch the syrup ! Carrots can also be treated as above , and are ex- cellent . Hot Beetroot . - Two 19 average - sized beetroots , pint water or milk and water , oz . cornflour , i dessert - spoonful vinegar , or a few chopped capers , or Worcester sauce to flavour , salt and pepper to taste . Method . Wash the beetroots thoroughly , being careful to avoid breaking the skin , l'ut them in a tin with a little water , cover with another tin and bake in a moderate oven for about 2 hours . Remove the skin and slice the beetroot Mix the cornflour to a smooth paste with a little of the water , boil the rest of the water and add the cornflour , stirring until it thickens . Season to taste with salt , pepper , and vinegar , or other flavouring , and heat the beetroot in this sauce . Note . Beetroot should always be either baked as above or steained . If boiled much of the nutri- ment is lost . Baked Bacon and . Beetroot - lb . bacon ( sliced ) , 2 oz . chopped onion , lb. beetroot ( cooked and sliced ) , oz . flour , int milk or water , salt and pepper to taste . Method . - Fry the bacon lightly and put it on a plate . Fry the onions very slowly in the bacon fat for 10 minutes , then add the flour and fry for two minutes without browning . Add the milk , stir until it boils , and allow to boil gently for a few minutes . Arrange the beetroot and bacon in layers in a dish , pour over the Sauce , and bake for 201 minutes in a moderate oven . - Serve with boiled or steamed potatoes . The white sugar beet is excellent as á vege- table , if steamed and served with parsley or curry sauce , or an excellent syrup can be pre- pared from it , which is particularly useful now that sugar is scarce . Sugar Beet ' Syrup . - Wash the beet and cook it in a steamer until tender , then peel it and pass grate it through a micer , or it on a coarse grater .... To every pound of minced beetroot allow 1 pints of water , boil for one hour , then strain off the liquid , spueezing out as much as possible . Boil the beet again in the same quantity of water for another hour , then , strain off the liquid . Put all the liquid in a saucepan , boil it until reduced to one - half . This thin syrup can be used when freshly made for sweete ing puddings and pies , or with stewed , fruit . If a clear syrup is desired ,, add a piece of lime the size of a small hazel nut , boil slowly for a few minutes , then strain through a jelly bag . To Make a Syrup That Will Keep - Boil the liquid until the consistency of treacle , then put if into airtight bottles . PRINTING !
