WEOBLEY'S SPLENDID RED WEOBLEY CROSS SALE . A TOTAL OF £ 540 REALISED . HEIFER FROM COLONEL CLOWES MAKES £ 201 . Weobley's former Red Cross effort of some £ 260 was considered a very fine result , as un- doubtedly it was , considering the population of the district , but that achievement was quite put in the shade on Thursday of last week by the sale which took place in aid of the Herefordshire Red Cross Hospitals . The tota ! realised was no less than £ 540 , a splendid re- sult , which should act as an incentive to other districts in which sales are being arranged . The Vicar of Weobley ( the Rev. E. A. Beattie ) has taken the lead in the matter in the most public spirited manner , and his efforts were enthusiastically seconded by the following Committee of which he was Chair- man : Mr. Frank Russell , Commander Winde- bank , Mr. W. T. Cooke , Mr. Will Cooke , Mr. Frank Cooke , Mr. Stephen Dent , Mr. F. J. Berry , Mr. J. Lewis ( Fields End ) , Mr. J. T. Morris ( Devereux Woot- ton ) , Mr. A. C.

A series of short Articles written at the re- quest of the Food Controller by E. I. SPRIGGS , M.D. , F.R.C.P. I. To Ever since the war began all British people have been asking - What can I do to help ? To our young men the answer was clear . have added new and glorious pages to the his- They tory of our nation , and against the greatest peril of , this age . are protecting us many millions of men and women came the call to work , night and day they labour to equip our army and navy ; or they take the places . of those who have gone out , and do a thousand things they never did before . And now comes a call to every man and woman in these islands to save the food . for all . Here at last is the chance Women and men , gentle and simple can do their bit , and may fit and unfit , at length forgive themselves a little that they are not in khaki or in blue . Every piece of food unwisely bought , waste- fully cooked or carelessly eaten is a loss to our nation and a gain to our enemies . no one who would wilfully harm his country There is at this time , but we have lived so long in plenty that we have not learned as a nation how to avoid waste , or how to make the best use of our food materials . The object of these short articles is to state , in plain words , what food is made of , how it is used up in the body , how much of it we need , how we can save it at the table , in the kitchen and in the shop , and how we should divide it in the home .

So it is . with Canon Raunsley . what is really a very charming and meritorious . To him that land has given of its best ; the piece of literary work . sylvan beauty of the dales , lakes and tains ; the still or stormy wildness of the heights are his delight , which he has described with a charm that makes his readers wish to see and feel what enchants him in the land of the " mountain and the flood .

Evan Lewis and Mr. W. H. Grout . The proceedings took place in the Church Meadow and Vicarage stable yard . A success- ful start was made , for there was not only a splendid display of gifts , but a very large attendance from Weobley and the surrounding districts . " The honorary services of Mr. Frank Russell ( of the firm of Messrs . Edwards , Russell and Baldwin ) were a great acquisition . Mr. Rus- sell has acquired noteworthy fame as an able exponent of the gentle art of extracting money for a good cause . The great event of the day was the sale of a three and a - half year old pedigree black Welsh heifer , the handsome gift of Lieutenant - Colonel P. L. Clowes , C.B. , of Burton Court , which was offered on the sale and return system which has been the means of raising huge sums all over the With plenty of country for the Red Cross humour and quiet persistance Mr. Russell steadily added to the purchase " price of the beast , encouraging his audience to further enerosity by liber ul bids on his own account . Eventually £ 176 was realised in this way and then the heifer was put up for absolute sale and secured by Mr. Lewis , of Fields End , for £ 25 , Colonel Clowes's gift thus accounting for £ 201 of the total . It appeared that of the bids rear P.C.
