We regret to announce the death of Mr. Stanley Francis Parker which took place at his residence at Bath on the 31st October , after EARDISLAND . of 1910 . Dame Anna Child's Charity , Chairman of the School Managers , and always took a warm interest in the welfare of the school . A shorf time ago Brother Edward held a mission n the parish and the Rector rendered him all the aid in his power , and since the mission he had held Daily Eucharist , Mattins and Evensong . A Retreat for the clergy was also lately held , conducted by the Rev. Fairbarn , Rector of Temple Balsall . The remains were removed from Knighton to Whitton Church on Sunday afternoon , leav- ing Knighton at 2.30 . The following Whitton parishioners attended . Mr. D. R.

Stephens , who acted short and impressive service in the room be- as bearers .. The Vicar of Knighton held a fore leaving and on arrival at Whitton the and the Rev. Mr. Fairbarn held another short coffin was placed on the bier in the church service . THE FARMER AND THE LABOURER . Last spring an Agricultural Employment Order was issued dealing with the relations of farmers and their employees . The Order imposed upon the farmer the obligation to send to the Secretary of the Executive Com- mittee in his county due notice in writing when any person over 16 years of age employed by him left for another job . The notice is supposed to be forwarded within 24 hours of the termination of the man's employment , and it should state his name , the nature of his work , his place of residence whilst engaged , and ( where this is known ) the name of his new employer . The object of the Order clearly was to assist farmers by prevent the of departure into non - essential employment labour likely to be of more use to the nation on the land . Unfortunately in many districts the agriculturist has not co - operated as he should have done in his own interest and the the national interest alike in carrying out Order . One of the Food Production Depart- ment's Commissioners this week complains in- deed that the Order " appears to be either ignored or unknown in my district " ; and it is a considerable and important agricultural district . Farmers assert that labourers who have been exempted for agricultural work by agreement with the Military authorities are contractors leaving to engage themselves to In how engaged on building or other work . far the statement is justified generally only a full enquiry can show . But it is obvious that the authorities can do nothing to help the farmer in the matter unless he will at least help himself to the extent of informing the Local Executive Committee in good time of . any case that concerns one of his employees . NEW RADNOR . PLOUGHING CAMPAIGN . A well attended and representative public meeting in connection with the Ploughing Campaign was held on Wednesday afternoon in the Town Hall , New Radnor .. Mr. H.

A meeting of the Local Tribunal was held on Wednesday afternoon . Alderman Stephens ( the Chairman ) presided . Captain Shrimpton acted as Military Representative and Mr. J. P. Lingen as Clerk . The Tribunal dealt with a number of cases most of which were of an agricultural nature and were adjourned pending the decision of the War Agricultural Executive Committee .
