In consid- ering the desirability of any industry connected with the production of food one criterion is paramount : Does the industry really increase the national food supply ? T. R.

It was a happy circumstance which found the bridegroom in entire sympathy with the desires and aspirations of the bride , for he was amongst the most valued of the local preachers on the Primitive Methodist plan and not only here , but in neighbouring Circuits were his rvices highly appreciated . Mr. Watkins had given unreservedly time and talent to the best interests of the church . Both bride and bride . groom belonged to families whom they respected and honoured . It was their sincere wish that their future would be brighter than the bright- est days of the past .
