CONNAH'S QUAY v. BANGOR. These team* met at Coemah's Quay on Satur- day- Bangor, when nicely placed, were pulled up for an infringement of the off Bide rule. Bates MKurly scored with a beautiful dropping shot, Wiliams clearing at the exnense of a corner. The Quay attacked wilth persistency, but the ihooting was poor, and illiams saved several shots easily- Evans had a tr- at the ot-her end, twit Lloyd saved. Later Roberts scored.

RHYL 7. WREXHANT Rhyl had a rather new experience over the bohd-ayo-thff succeeded in winning two home matdhes- On Boxing Day there was a very food gate for the Combination match with Wrexham, aind the visitors had the misfortune to be let down to the tune oi four goals to nil. The game throughout was a fast one. and but lor the splendid work of the visiting backs Rhyl's Kocxre would have been much heavier. From start to finish the home side had the best of the play, and in the last half the visitors aroe- ly eroeiaed over the half-way line. Harrison was responsible for two gooJs, D. Hughes and Lappin taking the otihers.

COLWYN BAY v. CONWAY. THE TABLES TURNED. (By "Linesman.") On Saturday, Colwyn Bay visited Conway, to play off a North Wales Coast League fixture. For my own part I went down to the Maria to see the "Blues" win, and my expectations were realised; though I waa not prepared for such exciting finish. To say the least, Conway deserved to win, and their score should have been much more. The homesters were in wong force, whilst the visitors were without tiheir star performer, the redoutable Tommy MeCann. The teams lined up as follows:- Colwyn Bay: Hallwood; Hugh Hughes, O. E. Williams; George Williams, Ned Griffiths, J. E. Williams; Mces Jones, D. H. Skeleey, W. R. Brookes, Stanley Hughes, and J. Ll. Owen. Conway: Joe Hughes; Tom Jones (captain), 0 Ellis; Shem Jones, Bob Owen, W. J. Jones, Tom Craven, Sam Hugihes, Sam Parry, end Will Stone. The visitors started operations, and made tracks tor g(, pe-r their left wing, but the movement, although at 6rbe Jj~ Voked dangerous, finished up with a very tame elrbrt. The "Blues" responded warmly, and Stone had hard lines in not sooring, his effort being spoiled owing to his making no allowance for the wind. Directly afterwards, Stone, who seemed eager to distinguish himself, was again prominent, and forced a corner on the left. Stanley Hughes cleared for the Bay, but failed to put the ■visiting forwards in motion, and another corner was forced by the homesters. Stone placed the kiok nioely, and after a bit of confusing play, Atherton opened the soore for the homesters. This reverse roused the "Reds," and Tom Jones, in checking the ensuing rush, fouled one of hie opponents so badly that the Knight of the ^Tiisfcle had a. few words with him. The home- jm once more returned to the attack, and E5. was forced to concede a corner, it Atherton, in receiving, put over the croes- aar. J. LI. Owen was next prominent on the Bay t, and after a .fine sprint sent in a good centre, which went begging. WiU Stone, shortly afterwards, broug-ht Hallwood to his knees with a terrific drive from the extreme left. The Bay responded per Moes Jones, who tested Joe Hughes, but the home custodian was safa. The next feature of the match was a clever movement by the Conway right, who took the leather almost to the corner flag before oending. Atherton received the pass, and miesed the mark only by a few inches. The goal kick failed to put the visiting forwards in motion, and Stone gaining possession treated the spectators to a fine individual effort, HOMESTERS TWO UP. and finished with a shot which completely beat Hallwood, and placed the homeeters two goals up. Sam Parry was next responsible for some good work on the Conway left, but one of the Bayites fouled him. The ensuing free kiok put Stone in possession, but he was ruled off- side. An amusing incident took place ait this juno- ture. The Conwayifaes were mwsing severely, and Hallwood, in clearing a low shot alipye(L and fell on the ground. The homesters quickly gathered round mim, and seeing that it would be impossible to get the leather dear, the visit- m)g custodian (a la Ted Owcm at Bangor) hugged it. A sorimmage followe(t and one of the home- steins fouled the custodian, and the visitors were awarded a free-kick, which enabled them to -dea.r their lines- Neither team succeeded in eooring again before the interval arrived- Han-time: Conway 2, Colwyn Bay 0- Re-starting, the visitors at omoe pressed, and forced a earner, which the homesters cleared safely. The Bay ag-ain pressed, but W. J- Jones rusihing in, broke up some pretty combination among their forwards, amd giving the leather to Tom Craven, started a movement whidh was dteetined to be crowned with success. A FINE RUN. The Beetfooted little outside right raced along the toucit-Jine to tine corner flag, and sent in a centre which want dead son- tiae goal-mouth, and Sam. Parry had no difiiculty m flooring Conway's thiIrd goal. To see the iioniesters score against the wind roused ail the energy left in tne visiting team, and m a determined manner they advanced ixom the centre. Joe 6aved the final effort, but the releree gave a foul in goal against him for oarrying the Dail- The home- istexo, however, etood so thickly round the goal that it was impossible for the shot to get through- n, however, the visitors pressed, and a few minutes of fast amd exciting ex- changes took place within t-he home quartets, which ended in Stanley Hughes finding the not with a beauty- Encouraged by this success, the Bayites worked hard for a goal, and a few minutes after the centre, J. LI. Owen had hard lines on the Bay left. Joe was called on to handSe two or three times at tIlrÍa juncture of the game. The Ba-ites oontinued to nress, when Lm brought to grass an opponent within the dread- ed area, and the referee wa-rded the Bay a penalty kick, with which O. E. Williams con- verted. With the ae(me at 3-2, the nlay was fast and furious. The homesters scored an off- aido goal- The last few minutes of the game found the visitors pressing severely, and Tom Jones kicking out for all he was worth. Still, the Bayites had no cause to grumble, and when the whistle blew for time up. the score stood:- Conway 3, Colwyn Bay 2.

CARNARVON Y. CONWAY. THE UNITED BAG TWO POINTS. A good sized crowd turned out to witness the North Wales Coast League match between Car- narvon and Conway at Carnarvon on Boxing Day. TOO fixture should have been played' some weeks ago, but Conway failed to turn up. The teams were: — Carnarvon United: Goal, G. H. Jones; full- backs, J. T. Williams and William Thomas; half-backs, J. Griffith, R- Herbert, and Jack WiUmmø; forwards, R H. Roberts, Tom Ro- berts, Waiter Jones, Hugh Roberts, and J. Jon-B& Conway: Goal, ,1oe Hughes; full-backs, Vom Jones and Owen Ellis; hal -backa J. R. Jones, Robert Witiame, and Hanaby- forwards, Cra- ven Allen. Atherton, Sam- Pwrry. and Evans- The referee was Mr Hersee, Llandudno. Though they had the wind in their favour Oanway wore quickly placed om the defensive, but tihe' wind quite upset the homesters- For a while Conway proceed, but they were rather juow, ajid failed to improve upon a miekick by •1 •. Trevor Williams- Then the visiting risrlit wing dashed down the wing in nromisir.g style, and he proved irresistible, parting to the in- side man, who scored- In a minute TIIE KICK THAT FAILED. Carnarvon secured a penalty kiok, and Walter Jones soared, but the referee had not wiiistlod, so the kick had to be takcm over again. This time J. Trevor Williams tried his luck, but the oustodiian made a smart save. Conway pressed for a -while, and the inside rigfat put in another goal. Th.1,.ct naturally roused the bonwateirs, who swarmed round the Conway goal. Following a shove, Carnarvon were awarded a penalty kick, anel this time J. Trevor Williams made no mistake- At this stage the Conway centre- half twisted his knee, and had to leave the field- At half-time the score stood: Conwa^ 2, Car- narvon 1. Playing with the wind, Carnarvon made matters hum in tihe second half, but the visitors, by ploying the one back game, con- tirtuaJ&y put them offid During the whole half the Carnarvon custodian was not troubled once. Buifc Carnarvon could not find the net for some time- Walter Jones, however, scored with a splendid dhot. When the scores were lev-el Carnarvon pressed witih a vengeance, and H. Roberts had the honour of putting them ahead. aM then Walter Jones put in No. 4, and wfimt proved to be the last roal- Finail result: Carnarvon 4, Conway 2.

BANGOR JUNIORS v. LLANDUDNO AMATEURS. THE AMATEURS GO UNDER. These teams met to play a North Wales Coast League fixture on Saturday, at Bangor, under good playing conditions, although the spectators found it a bit cold. Mr Browne Jones, Rhyl, was again the referee. Bangor turned out as follows: Ted Owen, Lloyd, Henderson, W. Jones, H. J. Davies, T. A. Griffiths, R. E. Jones, H. Owen, Dick Jones, H. Davies, and J. Williams; whilst Llan- dudno were represented by Bob Lunt, J. H. Jones, Jack Lunt, Jacob Williams. Georgie Da- vies, Pierson, W. A. Williams, Alderson, Johnny Williatns, Brookes-Evans, and Jim Williams. Immediately after the signal for the fitart, Llandudno were in the home goal, and Alderson had hard luck in trying to drive the ball through a forest of legs three times. The homesters got away, only to have the leather re- turned. Eventually Dick Jones broke through, and enabled Joe Williams to test the visiting custodian, and Lunt, handling the leather emait- ly, ttuew clear. Llanuudno were soon in the home territory and Br okes-Evans tried a pot, but failed to nnd the billet. Then followed a movement on the home right, but Jack Lunt terminated tne attempt. The Bangor.ajis were soon back, however, and Georgie Davies was called upon to stop an ugly rush. Not to be ou.done, however. Hughie Owen returned, and drove in magnificently, but Bob Lunt caught the leather just under the bar—a great save! The homesters kept up the pressure, and forced a corner, which was' well placed. Lunt fisted out, but Hughie Davies headed in at the second attempt, and notched the first goal for Bangor. From the centre Johnny Williams made a swoop on the home territory, but Teddie was too smart, and brought off a splendid save, at the expense of a corner, from which Brookes-Evans parted to Johnny, who however failed with the final shot. Play reverted to the home k ft, but the visiting defence returned the leather, and Bookes-Evans, though badly hampered, gut through .nicely, and Alderson tried heroically to shoot in as he fell headlong from a heavy charge, but missed by inches. Play was soon resumed in the visitors' terri.ory, and Dick found him- belf in a grand position. Ho shot wide, but, luckily, forced a co ner, then followed a n--Ie- in front of goal, but the great J. H Jo. re saved the situation. The globe was returned on tne homesters' right, but Lunt saved weR Aldt-y gave Brookes-Evans a chance fcut .'6 didn't setm qui e up io his u. ual form, an 3 missed ir shooting A few minutes later, after s >me pretty play by Alderson (who, it should be faid, had lost, his partner in the early stages of the p.-r.m-\ Williams ha, ing to leave the fipld ow;ng to an injury), Johnny Wihams tried to St': v in. but missel by a fraction.

Finally, Johnny Williams obtain- ing possession broke clean away, and after de- fea. ing all opponents, scored a magnificent gcal, and shortly after from a pa* by ti.,e outside left Johnny again tested, but Toldio saved splendid- ly at full length. Then the homesters made a fioroe attack on the visitors' citadel and Hughie Owen added another from a pass by Joe Wil- hams. Llandudno, who had been playing ten men throughout almost the whole of the game, made the fatal mistake at this ste.ge of w. c.k.nm tit.t>ir drifence to strengthen tihe front rank, for J. H. Jones, by joining the forwards, gave the nippy home front rank a chance, of which they were not slow to avail themsel. es, and in the last few minutes of the game Dick Joni; broke through twice, and sco ed each time with shots with which Lunt ihad no possible chance. So finished a game, the final result of whioh. it must be allowed, dn not represen. t.ic respec- tive merits of the teams. A score of 2-1 would have been a better criterion of the game tii&n as it stkx -t <tt [oj close of the game. Bangor 4, Llandudno 1.

CARNARVON v. nOLYhtAD. ANGLESEY TEAM LOSE AN IMPORTANT MATCH. AN UNUSUAL INCIDENT. (By "Recorder-") To Holyhead their match ait Carnarvon on Saturday was of great importance in view of the bold bid they are making for the champion- ship of the North Wades Coast League- beau- maris are running them very close, and two points would be most useful to the II arbour men at the present juncture. Whilst Holyhead had a strong telm on, Carnarvon we e minus tihe services of two of t'icir regular players, and E. Hughes and W.. Hugihes turned out again, The ground was hand1 and very conducive to fasrt play, but the weaidier told a tale m the attendance, which was scanty. The teams were — Carnarvon: G- H. Jones; J. T. Williams, W. R- Thomas; J. Griffiths, M. Herbert, J. Wil- liams; Robert H. Roberts Evan Hug-hee, W. Jones, W. Hughes, aind J. Jones. Holyhead: Collier; Qonlan W- H. Parry- Taylor, W- T. Jones, Dick Ellis; H. Roberts,' J. Rowlands. R Jones, J. Jones, and Hugh Brown- Referee: Mr Vincent. Llandudno- Witnn-ing the toss, Holyhead decided to play up the siope, and they instantly prewed, but W. R. Tfuamas neatly tacfaled Huigii Roberts. The baR was, however, quickly returned to the Carnarvon quarters- Oonsjcilenng the dry ptare of the turf the game was very tame, and the wind quite upset the calculations oi "the homo forwards. At length R. H. Roberts got a movo tin, but after passing several opponents he fin- ished up execrably. The spectators lustily en- couraged tihe homo lot to play UP, and they re- sponded, J. Jones eorewang actrose a spleTidid tih-of. Parry managed to save, but the ba:J reached Herbert, who twice in succession vol- leyed in. his last attempt skimming the bar. End to end play followed, amd though Holyhead1 had the bctnefit of the ivi-nd they failed to score- A'dR,r J. Trevor Willliamr, had mitred his kiok the Carnarvon custodian managed to sciae the ball, but he was soon surrounded by opponents, one of whom slammed tihe ball into the net. The referee, however, ruled that it, was an off- side g.o>al. Holyhead were now showing their true form, but the forwandfe ccwiitinuall got off- side. At length the Carnarvon rigiht wing- ffal- loped aloaiig in fine style, but Pa.r.ry inferposed, and in a twice Oannarvon had to de' end. A GOAL FOR HOLYHEAD. Holyhead were awarded a free kick olcee to the Carnarvon goal, and Conilan potted for goal. It was a puzzling scrt of shot, and the poaJ- keeiper dropped on his knsiss to catch the ball, wihich however, he failed to ihold, and it went out agaiin to Bmown, who easily scored. After tho Holyhead forwards had finished congratula- ting themselves, they again rcsaed, and R. Jones shouild ht-xve put them ahead- Hug<h Brown tested the Oailjta-rvoji ewstodian from long ranigp- Up to this gtage was nothing par- ticularly exhilarating about the game, and both sets of players seemed timid about allowing tiheroeelrvtfs to "go," possibly owing to the hard stnte of the turf- The Carnarvon custcd'ian again jeapardit?ed his charge by making a fauJty clearance. Once more the ..artmarvoTi lot tried hard to equalina, and after P«,rxy had violently kicked the air Walter Jones rushed1 past him at top speed, and wihen he got up to Col- lier he tried to s.lip the blH into the net with a side kick, but it didn't quite come off, though it was a. graaid attempt- Tfhris run greatly en- couraged the home foirwa.rds, wlho now pressed' for all they were worth. Quite unexpectedly J. Rowlands broke a.way. and he pa.rted to H. Robeurte, who, however, finished wildly. AN UNUSUAL INCIDENT. Here abouts, the game was interrupted by a spectator blowing a parUcu-anry aiiki-a wihistle. 'L.¡e i-eaeree uiskAnitaly stopped uue game, and cuossing tiue field to the sp^t from wthion too sound enmnabed, told an otlicial that e must find tiite wihjptle- The Carnarvon playeas and othcuaJs then asked' tile spectatMrs tor tue wihis- tie, wiiich was thrown from a ounon ox young men near the grand stand, and was retained until the end ot toe match by one of tue otli- caals- Hub spectators cuieered the referee or lus firmtueas in tbo matter- A lew minutes off Lie interval Carnarvon pressed, and the inside right found himself in iront of Collier, wiio, however, saved in grand style. Haai-time: Holyhead 1. Cavil-arvon nil. Utnfortunately iQr Cainiairvon tiie wind dropped in tone second ihali, but eUlil they started in promising styje. From long range Walter Jonep sent in do terrific shot along tne ground, and it clean defeated Collier- It was, imdeed, a splen- did goal. weM wortia the cheerir^ which greet- ed it. Stung by tiois reverse Holyhead advanced in a line towards the Carnarvon goal, but tfio home defence was in fine ettLe, especially J. Trevor W illiams, who continually broke up their rushes. Carmarvon again took up the running, and Walter Jones wound un one move- ment witih a stinging allot, but Collier madte a smart save. The Holyhead defence was kept at full stretch, amd before the game finish oax- narvcin again managed to e»)re, uue final more being: Carnarvon 2, Hobiwad 1.

.b'KlENlXLY MATCHES. RUTHIN CHURCH GUILD v. DENBIGH OLD BOYS. A WIN FOR THE DENBIGHITES. (By "Linesman.") This matoh was played at Ruthin on Christmas Day, in e>ry oold weatner. Both teajns were at full strengtn. The rpferee was Mr D. Price, who lurned out the teams as follows:— Ruthin;-Roberts, gool; Roberts and Morris, full backs; F. Williams, J. R. Jones, and F. Jones, tiaif-backa; T. Jones, Rowlands (capt.), Goodwin Williams, and Hughes, forw&ids. Denbigh Old Boys:—F. Jones, goal; Myddle- ton and Cartwright, full backs; Johnson,J. Jone6, and Uoy<i, half-backs; D. W^nne, J. Jonerf, J. W. Jones (Capt.), L. Lewis, and R. Salusbury, fo.-wards Tno visitors won tho toss, and Ruthin set the bah in motion, but before proceeding a couple of yards they were neatly robbed by Lloyd, wmo passed the leather to his outside left. The latter sent in a long shot, but it was effec- tively dealt with by Roberts, before J. W. Jones could nip in. The Dcnbighites kept up the at- tack for a good time. Lewis, eventually, passed to Salusbuiy, who scored, thus drawing first blood. Dir-xrjy afterwards Ruthin attacked, but tne ball was cleared again, avd J. W. Jones trans- ferred to Saluibury, who scored the second goal. The visiting right wing were next prominent, but Wynne sent behind. At length the home left wing got going, but Johnson checked them in fine style. The visitors were awarded a corner, which was placed in the goalmouth by Salusbury, and J. W. Jonoe grazed the bar with a fine shot. In a while J. W. Jones again got possession, and passed to Lewis, who scored the third goal. A few minutes later Lewis worked himself into pos- session, and scored the fourth goal, and the same player scored the fifth goal from a pass from J. W. Jones. A penalty was then awarded against "Cartwright for handling the ball. Rowlands I's took the kick, but oould not score, the visiting custodian saving in an accomplished manner. HaJJ-time arrived with tho score: Denbigh Old Boys 5. Ruthin Church Guild 0. After tho interval the Denbighites set to work in earnest. Time after time Mvddleton would break up his opponents' combination in fine style. Eventually Ruthin wore awarded a goal, Row- lands doing the needful. The Denbighites then passed, and J. W. Jones pasced to Lewis, who scored the sixth goal. Rallying courageously, Ruthin came along, and Cartwright, in trying to clear, missel his kick. Hughes promptly rushed in and scored. Denbigh promptly retaliated, Lewis scoring, but the point waa disallowed be- cause the scorer was offside. Again Ruthin came up, and this time they were awarded a penalty against Mvddleton for handling the ball. T. Jones took the kick. and landed the ball under the bar, out of the custodian's reach.

EARLESTOWN V M.C.A, V. BANGOR Y.M.C.A. These two teams met at Earlstown, on Boxing Day, in cold weather. The Bangor Y.M.C.A. were minus the services of three of their regular players, whilst the homesters were at full strength, so it was with .no light feeling that the visitors took the field to face i Earlestown Y.M.C.A. team, who so far aave n1'; lost a single match this season, and are at "he top of the local League table. Earlestown kicked off. and oon t.f':ma eg- gressive, but were smartly repeiled. The visi- tors retaliated by a raid on the I jt were pulled up for offside when a ccrlai'i g( 1 seemed imminent. End to end play tohowoo, tho homesters doing most of the pressing at this stage, the Bangor defence being particularly good. Elias Owen, in goal, was in rarj form. Close upon half-time, during a hot attack on the visitors' citadel, Emyr Hughes accidentally 1Jt through his own goal, giving Earlestown ibe first point. No further scoring took place be- fore half-time, when Earlestown led by 1 gcal t0The second half proved very exciting, each goal having very narrow escapes. Bangor were not long in equalising, through a mce bit of passing, Arnold Dargie scoring with a good shot. The homesters tried hard to again increase their lead, but the Bangor defence was found very sound. With only about, five minutes to go Emyr Hughes handled the ball close to goal, which resulted in a penalty kick being awarded Earlestown. To the delight of the visitors, Elias Owen brought off a magnificent save, which undoubtedly saved them from defeat. The whistle sounded soon afterwards, a hard-fought game resulting m a draw of one gcal each. The r 'turn match will be played at Bangor on Easier Monday morning. The following team turned out. for the Bangor Y M C A Goal Elias Owen; full-backs, Emyr Hughes and W. Smith; halves, Fred. Daxgie Evan Hushes and John Owen; forwards, Arnold Dargie, H.

NOTES AND COMMENTS. (By "Cr.itiOU&") CARNARVON. Holyhead went to Carnarvon on Saturday full of determination to capture two points, but they lha<f to return home niinw them.

PHOIJOBED NEW COUNCIL SCHOOLS IN CAJLUNAKVON- BHIBE. THE EDUCATION AUTHORITY'S Ad ION. (From a Correspondent). The action of the CounLy Council of Carnarvon in advertising for tenders for the proposed now f^uncil befools at Pantre Uctia', in the parisn «X LJannor, and at Chwiiog, in the parish of Llan- armJn, IS causing a great deal of uneasiness among the ratepayers and inhabitant of iha above dis ricte. About the middle of October last a notice was issued from the office of the Education Authority at Carnarvon that new schools would be built at both of the abov« places. Tno notices were supposed to cover three montns, so as to give time to offer objeo- tion. Bofo. e, however, the expiration of the statutory time, the secretary advertised for tend- ers for the erection of the proposed new sohovJe, and also before he received the saitcaon of the Council. Before the end of Ootober last meet- ings were held simultaneously at IJannor and largely attended by the ratepayers and inhabitants, who unanimously parsed res^u UÆS protesting against the >*rectian cf the pro- posed new schools, on the grounds that it was considered nothing but waste of public money. In the LIanarmon district a petition to that effect was taken round, and signed by consider- ably more tuon half of the ratepayers. It was pmmif*'<i by irresponsible speakers favouring the '9 that all the oost of building would be defrayed from the National Exchequer. This promise evon was not enough to dissuade the ratepayers from signing the petition, because ii the proposed new school would be a waste of the rates, it would also be a waste of the taxes, and they refused to remain quiet. Moreover, they understood the situation. They felt, and g- pressed their feeling freely, that what the Local Education Authority wanted was to close the NOH-Provided School at Llonarmon. And they are going to do this, though it will cost the county about £ 3000. Now, the curious point is that though the County Council re- presents the majoity, it refuses to listen to the majonty regarding the proposed new school at Chwiiog. Similarly the parish of Llangybi, al- most to a man, signed another petition protesting against the action of the Council to include it within the rating area of the Chwiiog school. What we want to know is this: Have these petitions been before the Council? We know that Lhey have been forwarded by the Board of Education to the County Council. The Act provides for objections. We, as rate-payers, want to know if our objections have been con> sidered. The minorities must suffer according to one obiter dictum, but are the majorities also to suffer? It seems that we. in this part, must suffer whether we are in the majority of minority. Our representative over this part ^as returned to the County Councii by the voto of the majority, now he represents the minority on the same Council We ventured to prophesy this at the time, and it has come true. Let us take a word of warning; a new school will ,have to be built .near Afonwen sooner ow la'er, and another one at the end of the parish near Ynys. It is high time for the ratepayers to look ahead and consider these things. We are unwilling to give our backs,to be lashed with a whip made of our own rates. What we want is an unbiassed man to survey the district, and to mark out sites for schools, which will be ad- van ageous to educational purposes. We are told that one of the Carnarvon Building Com- mittee, who lives at no great distance from where wo write, goes the round of the schools, and marks out those for destruction. Llanar mon N.P. School was marked out a long time ago, and now we are told that the neighbouring school of Plas Gwyn is marked out for future destruction. The Carnarvonshire teaching staff complain1 that their salaries are not raised, as the Act, under which they wJrk. provided that thef should be. But the salaries of some are raised, and raised considerably. Where is the con- sistency ? When will the educational machinery be put right? The elementary education of the county has been in a state of chaos these last five years. Education has considerably deteriorated during that time. And here is one generation of children going out of school, who will have to suffer all their lifetime owing to the present strife and bitterness, which they know nothing about. These years of oppression and sup. pression will tell their tale one day.

The debtor owed 14s, and the Board spent upon the case £ 3 10s. The man still declined to pay. It would cost about JM 10s to bring the man from South Wales. Mr R. O. Williams said it would never do for them to stay proceedings in a case like the one mentioned. Tho Board decided to prosecute the debtor. Anothe, man, whose wife had caused much ex- pense to the Board, was mentioned, and the Clerk stated that the husbt nd was ordered by the magistrate* to pay cr go to prison. HIS LAST PAIR OF BOOTS.

A COLD ON THE CHEST. Take PEPS Before Worse Ills Arise. There ia never any telling where a cold on the chest ma.y end. Pneumonia, pleurisy, lung in- flammation, or even consumption itself may be the penalty of a day's neglect. In Pep6, tho wonderful medicine in handy tablet form, wo ha.ve a sure PNmmtative of evil after chill has gripped you, and a remedy for the cough and tightness aibout the chest. Mr A. Green, 65, St. George's-road, Aldenshot, for 22 years in the Military Police, used Pepa successfully for a frightful cold in the head and chest. He writes:—"It was nothing but cough, cough, cough, night and day. My head waa completely stuffed up, so that I could scarcely breathe. My friends advised many different remedies, but none of them did me any good, pud I did not know what to do to get rid ol it. A cheimist to whom I explained my symptoms strongly advisell me to try Pepa. Well, before I had half finished that box ray cold was completely broken up. What is more, I feel in better health bodily than I have done foir a long time. I could not wish to feel better than I, do to,-daY. It is Peps that has done this for me. I have since given Pepe to my wife and children, and to several friends." Miss E. Watkins, The Links, Hook Heath, Woking, tried Peps for a weak chest after a bad attack of influenza. She writes:—"I can- not speak too highly of Peps which have made my chest quite strong again; also I do not take cold so readilj now." After returning home after wet, fog, or frost, let Peps attack that stuffiness about the cheft, and soreness of the throat, which are often the first signals of chest trouble. Place a Pep on the tongue on going to bed, and so. avoid the ooughinig that has previously broken your rest. Take with you a few Peps in their sealed silveff jackets when out-of-doors in bad weather. There is nothing "just as good as," or even like Peps—Is ld and 2s 9d, from all chemi.ct«.
