Winter Moth , and March Moth . THE CHIEF OBJECT of Grease Banding is to catch the wingless females of the Winter Moth , Great 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 ( larger in 1/3 and 3/6 Tins ( larger quantities at Special Prices ) . 12 Bands for 6d . , 36 for 1- / 6 , by ELLWOOD & SON , Agricultural Chemists , LEOMINSTER GRAMMAR SCHOOL . ANNUAL PRIZE DISTRIBUTION . CONTINUED SUCCESS OF THE SCHOOL . The Town Hall was filled on Thursday afternoon by the scholars and their parents and friends of Leominster Grammar School on the occasion of the annual speech day . Alderman H. F. Russell , J.P. , C.C. , presided and was supported on the platform by Mrs. W. T. Sale , Alderman J. Farr , Alderman H. Gosling , Alderman George Page , Councillor E. Molyneux , Mr. W. St. G. Drennan ( Headmaster ) and members of the staff . The Chairman said he regretted that they had not a gentleman of high position in the county to distribute the prizes . The Bishop of Hereford was asked and to his genuine regret he was unable to come , as owing to illness he had got behind in his engagements . Failing the Bishop they had hoped to have the Lord Lieutenant , Sir John Cot- terell , but unfortunately he also was unable to come . The Chairman proceeded to read an apology from the Mayor ( Councillor J. B. Dowding ) as follows : " Dear Mr. Drennan , -I fear harvest operations will prevent me from joining you this afternoon . I regret it very much , but owing to the fickle weather I must of necessity harvest my crops and take advantage of the climatic condi- tions prevailing after such a spell of bad weather for the crops . After receiving your kind invita- tion yesterday I looked forward with pleasure to taking part in your day of reward for good work " done and I should like you to give your students a word from me as your Mayor . Tell them if only one gains the prize many strive and in due time many will reap the reward . Perchance there will be some who will never gain a prize , but it is in their own hands to have the satisfaction in after life of knowing they did their best and no woman or man or child can do more . It is well that I should call to their mind the great advan- tages they have compared to the boys and girls of my time . When I was a lad there was no Secondary School in Leominster and I have to thank the British School for my earlier education . Realising that greater knowledge was most essen- tial , at far greater cost myself than is the privilege of your scholars , I studied under Mr. Charles Lees , of the Grange Academy . Knowing the value of education I ask your scholars to seri- ously apply themselves with all diligence to their studies , so that in after life they will have no regret as to lost opportunities . Those who are just growing up to women and manhood in a new era of the world's history have a great respon- sibility placed on their shoulders and it is up to them to justify the appalling loss of life , wealth and material in this great war , because it is for them first and the generations to come that these noble men and women have fought and died that the world should be freed from Hunisk wars , conquest and brutal slavery . The Ger mans have risked all for world power and 11ow feel justified in saying that they have lost , but there is much to be one and endured yet and when the time comes for your students to take up the burden which others per- force have had to lay down may it ' find them ready , men and of high ideals , clean- minds , dogged determination , to do the best they can for the new world , leaving their mark on the page of history written in their time , reflecting back to those who taught them the honour due to you for the patience , trouble and time spent in so doing , enabling them to rejoice that their efforts to help the world on was not labour in vain . Believe me , yours sincerely , J. B. Dowding , midnight , September 25th , 1918. " we women THE ANNUAL REPORT . The Headmaster , Mr. W. St. G. Drennan , pre- sented his annual report as follows : - HEADMASTER'S REPORT . To the Governors of the Leominster Grammar School : Ladies and Gentlemen , -I beg to bring before you my report upon the work of the School during the Session 1917-18 . The School numbers continue to show an upward tendency , and it will be necessary , very soon to obtain more accommodation if the School is to meet this in- creasing demand for secondary education . As any extension of the School premises is out of the question during war time , I would suggest the early consideration of the hiring of premises as near the School as possible . SCHOOL NUMBERS . During the 1st Term there were 181 pupils in attendance ( 89 boys , 93 girls ) , 2nd Term 118 ( 89 boys , 93 girls ) , and during the 3rd Term 175 pupils ( 83 boys , 92 girls ) . At the beginning of the Session there were 48 Free Scholars in the School , a proportion of about 27 per cent . of the whole number of pupils . STAFF . - The following is a list of my staff of Assistants , together with the subjects for which each has been mainly responsible : - Miss J. Aitken , M. A .: English Language and Literature .

E. 1 TIMES , Bryon Taylor came to the School on the first day that it was opened , and remained throughout the whole of his school life , proceeding as time went on from Form 1. to Form VI .. With your permission should like to quote from my annual Report made three years ago . I then stated : It is interesting and instructive to note that the two boys who have been most prominent in the School games , and are the best two athletes , have secured the highest honours in the examination , room . I refer to Frank Baker and Bryon Taylor , and as they have now come to the end of their School careers should like to pay this tribute to them , that I consider , that they have , well upheld the honour of the School and the School has great reason to be proud of them . " Both Frank Baker and Bryon Taylor obtained com- missions in the Royal Flying Corps . After splendid service Frank Baker is prisoner of war , and now once again Bryon Taylor brings fresh laurels to the School and the School has greater reason than ever to be proud of him . I have the honour to be , . Ladies and Gentlemen , Your obedient servant , W. ST . G. DRENNAN . PRIZE LIST .

FORM IV - 16 girls , 7 boys , average age 14 years . Alice Stedman and Isabel Goodman are equal for the Form Prize , Marion Parry the wins Prize for Mathematics and Science , and Olive Rodgers the prize for French . These four are deserving of much praise for good work throughout the session , and so also are John Gosling , Austin Blomer , Marjorie Payne , Doris Whiteman , Gladys Powell and Edith Gregg . The work of the remainder of the Form has not been up to the standard attained in former years . FORM IIA . - 11 boys , 13 girls , average age 14. The work of fifteen members of this Form has been good- of some of these very good - whilst that of three has been fair , and of the remaining six unsatisfactory . Sybil Matthews wins the Form Prize , closely followed by Lizzie Haines ; Reginald Matthews comes third . each case this has been the first year at the school , and they have all three worked remarkably well . In Also deserving of mention for good work are : - Mildred Prosser , Gladys Farmer , Nelly Kirby , Lucy Cornes and Thomas Brunt . FORM III . - 17 boys , 15 girls , average age 12 years . This has been a very satisfactory Form , much more so than Form III . of last year . On combining the examination marks with the weekly marks , Jack Firth wins the Form Prize - the result of Next in order of steady application as well as ability . merit is William Hodges who is also very consistent in his work and very persevering ; then come P. Bateman third , and Hilda Bach and P. Drennan equal , fourth . Q. Craddock wins the prize for Mathematics and Science . Also deserving of mention are : Cyril Gough , Francis Taylor , Robert Newman and Kathleen Exell . LOWER SCHOOL . FORM IL - 19 boys , 16 girls , average age 11 years . This has been another very satisfactory Form and very good progress has been made by all excepting six of the pupils . Mary Smith wins the Form Prize , Mildred Fisher comes next in order of merit , and Ivy Perry third : these three stand out as the best three in the Form , and there is very little to choose between them . Fourth in order of merit is Monica Edwards . Winifred Bassett , wins the Form Prize for Arithmetic . Also deserving of mention for good work throughout the year are : Gladys Heppel , Gerald Millichap , Frederick Skingley , Kathleen Edwards , Leslie Birch , William Fletcher , Evelyn James , Thomas Rees , Reginald Seager , Gwendolen Price . I have awarded additional prizes in Forms III . and Ik on account of the good work , and the greater com- petition owing to numbers . FORM 1. - 11 boys , 12 girls , average age 10 years . As in former years there have been two divisions in this Form . Very good progress has been made by nearly every pupil . In the 1st Division Molly Bullstrode wins the Form Prize , next in order of merit being Peggy Hammond who wins the prize for Arithmetic . Also deserving of mention are Irene Storr - Barber and Cynthia Nott - Lewis . In the 2nd Division Dennis Harding is first in the examination and Maund Preece first in the weekly marks ; on combining the two sets of marks these come out equal . Vaughan Taylor wins the prize for Arithmetic and Nature Study . Also deserving of mention are Joan Parry and Evelyn Pugh . ATHLETICS . In accordance with modern practice two periods of the time - table have been devoted each week to Organized School Games . Mr. Bisson has acted as Games Master for the boys , and I gratefully acknow- and thoroughness ledge the characteristic good of his work in this as in other departments of the school . He has loyally devoted a good deal of time and energy out of school hours to make the Games and Athletic Sports of the school the success they have been . Mrs. Marston has acted as Games Mistress of the Girls and has also had charge of their drill : I can only say that I consider that the work could not be in better hands . This year the pupils decided to give the value of their Sports Prizes to the Comforts Fund for Hereford- shire men who are Prisoners of War , as a tribute of their pride in the men of their own county . As a result of this £ 36 has been sent , half to the Herefordshire Regiment Fund , and half to the King's Shropshire Light Infantry Fund . The best athlete amongst the boys this year was Douglas Blanchard , and of the girls Kathleen Exell . SOCIAL - LIFE . - The energies of the School Houses Mr. A. Watson : Visiting Master for Woodwork . There have been several changes in the staff during . and at the end of , the school year , some going to posts of higher value , others to undertake war work of a more direct nature . All these have faithfully carried out their duties , and served the school well , and when I refer especially to the four years ' excellent work of Miss Baggs and Miss Howorth , and their devotion to the interests of the school it is because of their longer I should like also to say how exceedingly service . sorry I was to lose , through the exigencies of the war , the very valuable services of Mr. Crimp and Mr. Wright . EXAMINATION SUCCESSES . - The School has again been a centre for the Oxford Local Examinations and , as in Christmas Term in aid of the fund for the Blinded former years , the Senior Examination was taken by the Soldiers and Sailors , and the sum of £ 14 12s . was members of Form VI . , the Junior Examination by obtained . I may say that so far 187 has been sent to Form V .; the rest of the school was examined by War Funds by the boys and girls of the school , and The following is this does not include the amounts raised for various papers set by members of the staff . purposes by Special School Flag Days . a list of the successes gained during the session : - SENIOR OXFORD LOCAL EXAMINATION . - 2nd Class Honours : Doris Nicholls ; 3rd Class Honours : Leslie Powell and Marion Price ; Satisfied the Examiners : Herbert King , Nancy Wood , John Wall , Margaret Good- child , Audrey Hudson , Cecil Bale .

I have now much pleasure in bringing before you the names of those pupils whose work has been especially good throughout the year . UPPER SCHOOL . FORM VI - 15 Pupils ( 6 boys , 9 girls ) , average age 16 . The work done by this Form as a whole was somewhat better than that of last year's Form VI . Doris Nicholls wins the Form Prize , Marion Price comes next in order of merit , and Leslie Powell third . The Examiners placed Margaret Goodchild first in English Literature and Scripture , Leslie Powell first in Mathematics , Herbert King first in Science , John Wall first in Drawing , Doris Nicholls first in Latin , French and History , Marion Price first in Needlework , and have again been devoted chiefly to war work . Plots of land have been taken and cultivated by each of the Boys Houses , whilst the girls , under the direction of Miss Aitken , have again knitted a number of articles of clothing for the soldiers and sailors . A School Entertainment was given at the end of the Upon Empire Day the Houses made a special effort to send eggs to the wounded soldiers and sailors , and 800 eggs were sent as an Empire Day gift . One bag of sheep's wool and two tons of horse- chestnuts were collected in response to an appeal for these . The Houses have also subscribed each week so that parcels of food might be sent to two of our old boys , Frank Baker and Wilfred Ross , who are prisoners of war . During the year Miss Aitken has patriotically acted as Secretary to the School War Savings Asociation . The number of 15/6 certificates continues to grow , and altogether some 500 of these are owned by the pupils . In connection with these various activities of the Houses I should like to mention the names of the House Captains , for they have certainly worked hard to set a good example of unselfishness and patriotism , and to uphold the houour of the school . These are : - GIRLS HOUSES . Minster House : Margaret Goodchild . Silurian House : Doris Hankinson . Eaton House : Eileen FitzPatrick . BOYS ' HOUSES . " Caradoc House : Percy Elder . Mortimer House : Douglas Blanchard . Borough House : Eric Bewley . Each year I have brought before you the names of Senior Pupils who have been deserving of special mention for their service to their school - fellows , both by their guidance and help , as well as by their example , and this year Margaret Goodchild and Audrey Hudson well deserve this honour . As a mark of appreciation Cecil Bale equal with Doris Nicholls first in Geography . of their work , special prizes have been awarded to The subjects likely to be affected by the changes in these two and it is my wish to continue this award staff during the session were History , Geography , each year . Science , Needlework and Drawing . The examination The work that has been done in the school , results show that there were no failures in Geography , and the various interests that have arisen and Science , Needlework or Drawing , whilst only three were marked weak in History . Mrs. Marston responsible for the Needlework and Hygiene , Mr. Lewis was been sustained , all these are but true reflections of the generous and ready help and loyal co - operation 1 have received from my colleagues on the staff , and it for the Drawing , and Miss Woodall for the History . I is with much gratitude I acknowledge the very hearty mention this to show how ably and successfully these support they have given me in everything that has new members of the staff grappled with the difficulties been for the welfare of the pupils . Before concluding my report I have very great pride This has in recording , a signal honour that has been brought to created , and how enthusiastically they worked . FORM V - 13 boys , 9 girls , average age 15 . been a very even Form . Twenty - one of the members the School by one of our old boys , who throughout worked for , and certainly of this Form were entered for the Junior Oxford Local his school career ever Examination and sixteen passed .

At the present time there were 196 pupils Supporting him on the platform were the Rev. J. H. rate on The education it was simply remarkable that the School had obtained such successes . Alderman Russell went on to recall the fact that when it was opened nine years ago the School was built for 95 pupils , and was opened with about 78 pupils . After being open for two years it was more than filled and they managed to induce the County Council to enlarge it to accommodate 168 and there was really not the room for them . Governors were ready to do anything they possibly could to provide more accommodation for the time being and then when they could do building another class room could be provided . Another matter which had come about during the year was that the County Council had approved of the Rural District paying a share of the rate . The had been falling rather heavily the borough of Leominster , but he was certain that no ratepayer in the town had objected to pay a rate for the School , because it had been such a perfect success . In addition to the Rural District the parishes of Eardisland , Dilwyn and Pembridge had contributed . In return for paying one fourth of the fourth of the rate , the children in the rural parishes had the right of competing for the free places and he was pleased that this time two free . places had gone to country children . He hoped they would gain more in future , because there was nothing like friendly rivalry and competition . He would like to call the attention of the people of Leominster to what the School had done , and to point to the number of pupils who had gone from the School and taken places in and solicitors ' offices and were doing their work well . The successes of the School most gratifying . He drew attention to the fact that Mr. Drennan did not select a certain number of pupils from each class for these the banks were examinations , SALMON IN CORN SHEAVES . The floods and high tides which swept over the Merioneth coart of Cardigan Bay on Sunday and Mor day wrought considerable havoc and serious away to the sea , and in other instances the sheaves losses . Hundreds of acres of corn were carried were swept into deep ditches in high heaps . Far- mers at Llanbedr on Tuesday , in carting the corn away to dry , had a great haul of salmon ( weigh- 3 LEOMINSTER PICTURE PALACE .

DESERTER'S CANDID , CONFESSION . The Harvest Thanksgiving , services at the Leominster Primitive Methodist Church were very successful throughout . On Sunday , the Rev. J.M. Ridge preached mons making a deep impression . The singing of harvest hymns was led by the choir with their usual ability , and Mrs. Poole presided at the organ . At the evening ser- vice solos were contributed by Mrs. Bounds and Miss Gladys Watkins . The church was tastefully adorned for the occasion , numerous gifts being received . On Thursday the Festival was continued , the meetings Lauderdale - mansions , Maida Vale , London , W.1 . , being in the nature of Circuit gatherings . The various was fined £ 2 at Marylebone for allowing a vicious churches were well represented and the day was most dog to be at large unmuzzled , it was stated that successful . The Rev. J. H. Hirst , of Birmingham , was the welcome visitor and his powerful sermon in the afternoon will not soon be forgotten . At 4 o'clock a ' circuit tea was held in the schoolroom when the wants of visitors and other friends were well supplied by the ladies of the church . Following this the church was well filled for a public meeting , the chairman being , Mr. Ward Green , a well known figure in the Shrewsbury district , to which the Leominster Circuit is now attached . Hirst , the Rev. J. M. Ridge ( Superintendent Minister ) , and the Rev. Mr. Lindsay , ( of Ludlow ) . After a devotional opening the Rev. J. M. Ridge introduced the Chairman , Mr. Ward Green , speaking in high terms of his work of a public , social and educational nature in Shropshire and for food production , and also the high esteem in which he was held as a Primitive Methodist local preacher , Sunday . school superintendent , and cham- pion of the struggling village causes . The chairman in a few well chosen words expressed his pleasure at pre- siding because of the value of circuit gatherings and also because Leominster now belonged to the Shrews- bury district . He remarked that they were celebrating their harvest homes under rather embarassing circum- but they had abundant cause for gratitude in the bles stances as a portion of the grain remained in the field , sings which this country enjoyed . The Rev. J. H. Hirst after welcoming his fellow ministers of other churches , Mr. Elder and Mr. Phillips , gave a stirring address on the subject of Faith and Freedom . " He quoted the harvest as the type of faith and said that in this war his conviction was that in spite of accidentals we were fighting for justice and freedom . Behind the destruction they looked for reconstruction . Upon faith depended freedom . A philosophy of materialism must issue in autocracy , feudalism and servitude . Mr. Hirst touched upon the social revolution involved in the grant of the vote to women and pointed to laws and features of our social life which required attention . He concluded by saying that they must determine that after the war they would win back the largest freedom that was possible . In the course of the evening solos were contributed by Mrs. Bounds and Mrs. J. L. Watkins , and much appreciated . Votes of thanks to the Chairman and speaker brought an excellent meeting to a close . BRITISH ' PLANE TAKES SIXTY PRISONERS . but put the whole class in . When that was re- membered the results attained were excellent . The successful pupils should feel most thankful to Mr. Drennan and the other members of the staff for their work . On behalf of the Governors he would like to return their most hearty thanks for the work done by Mr. Drennan and his assistants ( ap- plause ) . Alderman Russell went on to refer to the action which the boys and girls had taken in regard to their sports ' prize money and said it showed that their characters were developed on the right lines and that they were full of love and sympathy for those who were fighting for them . They had shown how proud they were of the honour which had been conferred Onl a fellow scholar , Mr. Bryon Taylor . They were delighted to hear of his success and he felt how proud his parents must be to think of the gallantry which he had shown during the time he had been in the Army . They R.A.F. to think that Frank Baker was a prisoner of war and looked forward to the time when they would be able to give him a hearty welcome on his return ( ap- plause ) . were sorry ALDERMAN GOSLING AND PATRIOTISM . Alderman Gosling being called upon to speak , said he cou'd only tell them what they ought to do when they grew up . He did not intend to preach a sermon , but he could tell them this . Be honest , don't tell a parcel of lies , behave to your neighbours as you wish they should do to you . Don't be anarchists or " conchies . " They had had a little anarchism the last few days . The humour of the whole thing struck him . Sup- posing they were all anarchists and conchies ! In a short time they would become a German colony . They would be under German rule . He asked them to remember when they grup that they had got a duty to themselves , a duty to their families and duty to their neighbours , and above all never forget that they had also a duty to the State to which they belonged ( applause ) . They were young and could not appreciate the gravity of the crisis ( although , thank God , things were looking far brighter ) but he asked them never to forget the dauntless deeds of those brave men who had saved them . Might God grant that never in their lifetime should such a crisis come , but if it did , he asked them to be up and doing like the people of England to - day . Let the deeds of the brave men who were now fighting and dying be a beacon light before their eyes and re- member that nothing is lost so that Britain is saved ( applause ) . THE BENEFITS OF EDUCATION . Alderman Farr followed with a speech in which he congratulated the pupils on the privilege of having such a school and such a headmaster . Mr. Drennan would live in their memories for many years to come and if they attained his length of life they would still remember his appearance , his words , his instruction and his kindly man- ner with gratitude . man who could impress his ideals upon the rising generation was doing a service to the country ; and one generation would pass on the benefit received until only eternity itself would reveal the good that could emanate from a devoted teacher . He looked upon Mr. Drennan as a blessing to the town and neighbour- hood and said the staff vould agree that it was not only a pleasure to be taught by him , but a pleasure to work with him . After congratulating the prize winners Alderman Farr asked . those who were leaving school not to think that their education was finished , but to try by every means in their power to keep up and to continue the education they had received . He went on to speak of the importange of concentration in edu- cation and sail the boy would not be successful if his thoughts were not upon his work . He felt that the School would be a lasting benefit , not only to the children , but to the whole town and neighbourhood and that the fruits of it would be seen in the future . He told the Lord Lieuten- ant that the whole countryside around Leominster would be changed owing to the success of the Secondary School . The inhabitants would be more intelligent , more useful to themselves , and more useful to the country owing to the solid useful education they Irad received from the Grammar School . Proceeding , A'derman Farr pro- posed a vote of thanks to the Chairman . They had been meeting in connection with public work for 30 years and he had always seen the great and efficient interest which . Alderman Russell took in public matters . He had taken a great interest in the School from its inception , and continued his interest in the children , the staff and the premises ( applause ) . I , co- GROWTH OF THE SCHOOL .. Alderman Page in seconding remarked that whenever a knotty point arose at the meetings of the Governors they left it to the sound judgment of Alderman Russell and they had always found that his decision gave general satisfaction . minster Grammar School had been particularly fortunate amongst other things in having two such gentlemen for their Chairmen as Colonel Decie and Alderman Russell ( applause ) . Alder- man Page recalled the time when it was argued that such a School was not wanted for Leomin- ster and the question was asked " Where are you going to get 95 scholars from ? " To - day they had not only got the 95 but 100 more , and when the time came for again increasing the size of the School the pupils would be found . He lioped the children would remember what had been said , especially what Alderman Gosling said in regard to patriotism . Kipling once said " Who dies if England lives ? " To - day the question was " Who lives if England dies ? " In the words of the American poet " Once to every man and nation , Comes the moment to decide . " He asked them to decide for what was right and true and best for the interests of themselves and the interests of the nation . It The resolution was heartily received and Alder- man Russell in reply said it had always been the greatest pleasure to do anything for the benefit of Leominster or the benefit of the School . was an especial pleasure to be Chairman of the Governors because there was no body where things were so happily managed . In expressing a wish for the future prosperity of the School Alderman Russell welcomed the new lady members of the staff . He said he was rather conservative and liked friends to stay and he hoped the new mem- bers of the staff would stay with them a long time A GENEROUS GIFT . At the conclusion of the gathering Mr. Drennan announced that Mr. P. Bateman , the parent of free scholars , felt so pleased with their progress that he wished to make some little return to the School , and asked him to say that he would give £ 5 next year for prizes which he ( Mr. Drennan ) would choose . That was exceedingly generous , and he hoped it would be catching . He suggested a Taylorian prize to remind them of the boy who did his best in school , out of school , and when he left school ( applause ) . The singing of the National Anthem concluded a very successful function . At Hebburn two licensees were each fined £ 10 and costs for charging 5d . for beer of fourpenny gravity . EXCITING ADVENTURE IN THE BATTLE ZONE . During the German withdrawals on the Western front the retreating troops have been constantly harassed by low - flying British machines . Two officers whilst ou a counter - attack patrol had an adventure , rare even for the Royal Air Force . Flying fairly low , these officers became aware that they were being fired upon from a trench and a sunken road near by . The pilot dived and saw a party of Germans - afterwards ascertained to number no fewer than 65 - shelter- ing there . He at once replied to their fire with his fixed gun , killing one and wounding three others . Apparently panic - stricken , the Germans ceased firing and hoisted a white liandkerchief in token of surrender . As there were no British infantry in the imme- diate vicinity , the pilot descended to 50 feet and ordered the Germans out of the trench . They obeyed , and , rounding up the party , the British pilot headed them off in the direction of his own lines . Flying low and circling round them to en- sure that none escaped , the pilot and observer carefully shepherded the party across No Man's Land and handed them over to the nearest party of British troops . STALKING U BOATS . GRAPHIC STORY OF SINKING AN ENEMY CRAFT . The adventures of one of our submarines on patrol duty , as officially reported by its captain , makes interesting reading . Having chased two U boats which disappeared at full speed after hav- ing been fired at at long range , the captain on the afternoon of the day of the second chase had better luck . He tells his story thus : " At 3.40 heard an under - water explosion and observed a column of smoke three points on the port bow . Came to the surface and saw that the smoke was a very long way off , but sighted the mast and funnels of a steamer right ahead . She was blowing off steam and did not look normal . Closed on surface and soon saw that the steamer , was down by the bow and stopped . Dived . Sighted enemy submarine on starboard bow , ap- parently just come to the surface and proceeding towards the steamer , which appeared to be aban- doned . " Proceeded to attack . Enemy passed to south- ward of steamer and then round the stern . I pro- ceeded round the bow sighting him again four minutes later . I reached the bow of the steamer . Enemy steered towards the stern again . I altered to port to intercept him before he reached the stern . Raised periscope and fired , both bow tor- pedoes . One hit him midway between conning tower and bow , the other midway between conning tower and stern . Enemy submarine sank . I fol- lowed the steamer's lifeboats and brought them back to the steamer , when the master informed me he thought he could get into port . " WITHOUT SLEEP FOR FIVE DAYS . INVALID COLONEL WHO HELD UP THE ENEMY ADVANCE . A bar to , the D.S.O. has been awarded to Cap- tain ( acting lieutenant - colonel ) Philip Kirkup , M.C. , Durham I..I , who on the night before a battle opened was sent to the Field Ambulance with a temperature of 103deg . , but on hearing the barrage he left and attempted to rejoin his unit , which was impossible , so he collected all the men he could and organised a defensive position , which he held to as long as possible . During the next two days he several times assisted in rally- ing men and holding up the enemy advance , and when ammunition had almost run out , he rode back and brought up . small arms ammunition , riding practically into the front with it . Through- out the whole period he did much to organise stragglers and keep them in the fighting line , being without sleep , and having little food for five days . Lieut . ( T./Capt . ) R. E. Hobday , W. York . Regt . , who has also been awarded a bar to the D.S.O. , was in command of a raiding party of four officers and 120 men , the operation resulting in the cap- ture of an officer and 41 men . He himself shot four of the enemy , and dashed single - handed at a machine - gun , personally carrying in the gun . Second Lieut . C. E. Frost , M.C. , Manchester Regiment , led a daylight raiding party , and although wounded on the enemy jumping into trench he pushed on , killing eight of the enemy one after another . He has been awarded a bar to the M.C. INTERRUPTED HOLIDAY . THREE MONTHS ' IMPRISONMENT FOR UNAUTHORISED VISIT TO DOCKYARD . Grimsby county magistrates on Tuesday adminis- tered a sharp lesson to a Dewsbury man , Tom Newsome , who was before them for making unauthorised visit to a dockyard . an Dr. T. C. Jackson , who prosecuted for the Admiralty , said the dockyard at Immingham was a prohibited area , and a permit was necessary to gain entry . Notices to this effect were exhibited at Grimsby , and in every car of the light railway between Grimsby and Immingham . Prisoner , who I was spending a holiday with his wife at Clee- thorpes , went on September 18 by car to Imming- ham , where the police examined permits . As he could not produce one he was escorted to a car about to return to Grimsby . However , he eluded a police officer , gained access to the dock , and made his way to a private compound , where officer in charge asked him what he was doing there . He replied : " I wanted to satisfy my curiosity , so I slipped the po'ice and came in . " Prisoner told the bench that he had no inten- tion of spying the The bench said the case was a serious one , and sentenced the accused to hard three months ' labour . was A general dealer , named Thomas Smith , charged at the Middlesex Sessions on Monday with stealing a pony and trap . He said he had never been in trouble , except in regard to the Army . Sir Herbert Nield , M.O. ( chairman of sessions ) : What do you mean ? I Why are you not in the Army ? Smith ( confidentially ) : That's my trouble . You see I'm a deserter . That was ten months ago . I had been in three weeks when I was sent home for three days and I didn't return . ( Laughter ) . Sir Herbert : An escort will take you back to the Army . FARMER DROWNED IN A BROOK . A verdict of " Found drowned " was returned by Mr. R. F. Haslewood , who held an inquest at Worfield , near Bridgnorth , on Mr. Thomas Yard- ley ( 51 ) , farmer , of Lower Burcote , whose body was found in Warfe Brook on Sunday by a wag- goner , whose attention was called by seeing a hat and coat on the bank of the brook , and found Mt. Yardley's pony tied to a gate by the reins . There were no marks of violence on the body , nor any signs of anyone slipping down the bank . JAM RATIONS . The Ministry of Food intends to issue an Order in regard to the rationing of jam , coming into force on November 2. It is believed that the ration will be 40z . per head per week for adults and 6oz . for children of the adolescent stage . The new ration books will contain a page for jam coupons . It is expected that restaurants will be given a certain supply of jam for their customers in a similar manner to the supply of butter and margarine which they now receive . Tomatoes : WORK FOR THE WEEK . On the approach of frost , cut all green tomatoes and us them at once for making chutney , or for any other useful purpose . Where the fruit shows signs of disease they should be gathered in the green state and made use of in a similiar way . The stems and foliage should be burned in the garden so as to destroy the spores of fungi OLD MAN AND HIS STEP - DAUGHTER . To the Ashby - de - la - Zouch Guardians an old man applied for the discharge of his step - daughter , an inmate of the workhouse . Asked his reason , he said he wanted to marry . " It was illegal , " said members . Then the clerk said that as the woman was of age she could take her discharge . On be ing allowed to see his intended bride , the old man said he would " put up the banns on Mon- day . ' ITEMS FROM ALL PARTS .

Canon Charles Philip Roberts , rector of St. Joln's , Longsight , Manchester , for nearly years , who hns just died , was the Oxford bow in 1864 university boat race . 30 The very high tide and strong wind on Monday caused the suspension for a time of the Egremont and New Brighton ferry services , as boats could not be secured to the landing - stage . Out of 417 persons at the munition factory at Woellersdorf , near Vienna , 382 were killed in the recent explposion , and there is little hope for the survivors , who are all seriously burned . STRANGE MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE . Four An extraordinary case has just come to light in Paris . In September , 1914 , five French soldiers were charged with self - mutilation In two in- stances death sentences were passed , and the twain were shot the following morning . years later , almost day for day , it is discovered that the two victims of a too - hasty military justice were not guilty of the crime of voluntarily render- ing themselves unfit for active service , but had come by their wounds on the battlefield . In order to repair the wrong a Court Martial has now re- habilitated the two dead men . Whether that is any consolation to their families is another mat- ter ; military honour is satisfied . GOVERNMENT SUPPLY OF EGGS . With a view to maintaining the supply of eggs during the winter months , the Ministry of Food has acquired certain stocks of imported and pickled eggs , which , so far as possible , will be distributed through the usual trade channels com- mencing October next . The price at which these eggs may be sold to the consumer will be fixed from time to time , and it is expected that the opening price will be 4d . each to the consumer . Priority of supplies will be given to hospitals in the event of any shortage occurring . WIFE WHO WON'T GET UP .

Zurich . - A correspondent finds it necessary through the columns of the " Arbeiter Zeitung , " to express his astonishment and indignation , first of all at finding three men's shirts displayed in a shop window in Vienna , and secondly at discover- ing that their collective price was over 1,000 kronen ( £ 42 ) . He said he knew there must be some shirts to be sold in Vienna because he saw men still wearing such garments in the streets , but he had got used to the idea that they must have been bought through That secret channels . anyone should now dare to display shirts in a shop win- dow , and at such a price was , however , beyond his understanding . These three shirts in question were ordinary silk ones , which in peace times cost about 10 or 12 kronen . 11 YEARS ' HARD LABOUR ESCAPED . Henry W.
