W £ kv, the county architect, won the Colwyn Bay Na- tional Eisteddfod prize for the best design for a. village clubhouse. The current issue of the "Building News" contains a line copy of the drawings, and commenting upon them that jour- nal states:—"Mr Davies' proposal embodies the reserve and architectural scheme of design which we have always inculcated in rev1,ming the de- signs submitted for tho various subjects set from month to month, and he lia/s learned to set out his ideas in a workmanlike and practical way, depending upon picturcsquc outline and grouping for hi.5 effects, without over-elaboration in detal, which, when- indulged in, invariably indcates an untrained mind and lack of taste. We do not in- fer that the present design is free from faults, such as the somewhat precipitate approach to the basement kitchen, located immediately inside the main entrance, isolating the service in a way which is undesirable, by risking smells of culi- nary origin just where they are certainly best avoided. The area, too, to the kitchen windows is very restricted, and it. gives too little light and air for the scullery adjoining. If built square, this would be obviated. The general lay-out of the building is well balanced, and. broadly speak- ing, the result would justify its choice in execu- tion."

At this Court, oil Monday, before Colonel Saxon Gregson Ellis and Mr Gomor Roberts, Joseph Jones, of Cyfnant, Llanferres, pleaded guilty to baing drunk on the premises of the Castle Hotel Vaults.

ADVERTISING RHYL. JOINT CONFERENCE TO BE HELD. At the Rhyl Council meeting held on Monday evening, the General Purposes Committee re- ported having had undev consideration a letter from a Cheltenham finn, wdh reference to the adoption of ita guide books in connection with the advertising of the town. As there was al- ready a local guide book under the auspices of the Advertising Association, the ooinniittlc- re- commended the Council not to adopt the sug- gestion. Mr Cheetham said th-:s touched upon a mab- ter of great importance to Rhyl. It was tiue that tlie Advertising Association had published an excellent guide book, and one that had done the town a vast amount of .'g!Ood, but it was a question whether the town would have such a publication next year, owing to the deplorable lack of funds. Tlie anathy of the town towards the work of advertising was e.wful —(hear, hear)—-and unless the Council or soma I other body took matter up pretty promptly and vigorously tho town would sudor a great blow. He proposed! that the whole question, of the advertising of the town bo gone into by the General Purposes Committee, acting in con- junction with tho Advertising Association. The question of the guide was one about which there should be no delay, as there were only about 1500 copies of t pa-escn-b issue left, and a new issue should be out by next Easter. Mr Hill, In seconding the motion, said very few people had any idea of tho vast amount of work done, without remuneration, in the inte- rrsf-s of the town by Mr Ashiield, and also by Mr Good all, his co-secretary. Mr Clews said he was sorry to understand that Mr Ashneld intended resigning from the post of secretary the end of the year. Some pros- sure ought, he thought, to be brought to bear upon Mr1 Ash-field with the view of getting him to reconsider his determination to sever his con- nection with tho advertising work. Mr Phillips thought that no better step could be taken by tho Council than that of seeking to amalgamate with the Advertising Association and the Ratepayers' Association in keeping the advertising of the town going. The Council, he was sorry to hoar, had two representatives on the Advertising Association who had not nt- tended a single meeting of that body. If those gtetlernen were not prepared to carry out the duties allotted to them, then they should give up their posts. Those, gentlemen were, lie be- lieved, specially put on the Advertising Asaocia- tion to see that the £100 grant which the Coun- cil made to the Association was p: orrly ex- pended The Chairman, having been named as one of the gentlemen referred to by Mr Phillips, said he was appointed on the Association simply in conDreoton with the issuing of the Pavilion poster. Mr Ashiield and he ultimately decided that matter, and there he believed his work ended. Mr Chert-ham's motion, was carried, as was the r(2ornm::¡d:at,:o'll of the committee.

THE LATE ARCHDEACON EYANS. KlEMORSAL WINDOW UNVEILED AT ABERGELE. DEDICATION BY 'THE BISHOP OF ST. ASAPH. It was at the Abergele Parish Vestry, aeid on the morning of Easter Monday last, that the erection of some suitable memoi'da-l to the Venerable Archdeacon Evans (vicar of the parish from 1876 to 1897) was decided upon. A small committee, with Canon Jones (vica-r of the parish) "3; its chairman, and Air George rerkins, Rose Hill, as the lion, secretary, was appointed to carry out the arrangements, and it was decided that the memorial took the form of a mural tablet, which lias just been fixed in the east wall of the chancel. The tablet is mounted o'n a slab of mottled marble, its brass surface being 'inscribed as follows; — "IN MEMORY OF THE VENERABLE DAVID EVANS, Archdeacon of St. Asaph, 1897-1910 Vicar of this Parish, 187G—1S97; Who died on St. David's Day, 1910, Aged 79 years. This tablet is placed" here by Parish- ioners aud Friends, in loving memory of his life of devoted eervice cmong- them." THE UNVEILING CEREMONY. took place at St. Michael's Church, on Sun- day morning, and was performed by tie Lord Bishop of the Diocese. v Tlie re was a large congregation, among whom were several prominent Nonconform- ists. The service was intoned by the Rev. D. E. Griffiths, M.A. (curate of Abergele), the lessons being read by the- Rev. Canon Jones, M.A. (vicar). Immediately after the ceremony, the con- gregation rendered (at the Bishop's request! the well-known hymn, "0, God, our Help in ages past," His Lordship then preached an eloquent sermon, which be based on 1 Corinthians ix. 13 Do'ye not know'that they which minis- ter about holy things live of the things of tV temple? And they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?" Pauil, in this chapter, he said, based the claim of Christian ministry' on a principle uni- versally recognised in human aff'.aij-s, "that they who preach the gospel should live of the s-o.spel." It could be said of the priest- hood that it finds lifting conditions in the •structure of human society, and that it never lost the- cluo to true progress. Its aam had been to warn and to teach men, and its work a.nd influence had been individual es well as social. It had been finely said that "man- kind is all m-ass to the h-uman eve. and all in- dividual to tho Divine." TRIBUTE TO ARCHDEACON EVANS. Having referred in glowing terms to the servioo and devotion of those ministers of Christ who have passed to their rest, his Lord- ship said it had been his privilege that day to dedicate a tablet to tlie memorv of an old friend, Avhose services in the ministry of the Church of Christ had been a very lengthy one—four and fifty years. For twenty-one of those years he wa^s vicar of that parish. Many' assembled there that mormn,.c» would remember the zeal and d-etermination with which tie venerable gentleman discharged his duties. It had not been for him (the Bishop') then to witness that work, but he had liea-d of it. But, in latex ^ears, on Ins removal from the parish to a higEer sphere of labour, he had noticed his tenacity of purpose aixi his exception:^ devotion to'his duties. His life placed 1. the,ir eyes an example that .should prove an inspiration to them to per- severe with i heir great task with the same devotion to duty, and they would do well to remember a, e.> £ er which had b.0Cll so 10110' and so devoted in the Kingdom of their At the close, the hymn "Glorious thinp-s of Thee are spoken, Zion," was sung, tiiis°con- cluding a- service which was throughout au impressive and memorable one. ofs Thomas (organist of St. Micha&i's Church) presided at the organ.

THE LATE ARCHDEACON'S CAREER. Archdeacon Evans was a native of Car- diganshire, where lie was bora in 1825. In 185G he was ordained, and became curate ol Nantglyn. After being raised to the priest- hood, he, in the following year, went as curate to LI an rhai.ad r-y n-Mach n an t, and afterwards held the perpetual curacy of St. Mark's, Frongoch, BaLa. In 1859, hoe" was ap- pointed vicar of Pont-blyddyn, Flintshire. From 1867 to 1876, ho was rector of Bala, and from 1S7G to 1897, vicar of Abergele. In he was elevated to his first Cathedral honorary canonry,a-nd two years later was preferred to tie arelideaconry of St. St. Asaph, a dignity which has attached to it tho prebend known as Llanfair I. Mr Evans was a good preacher in English and Welsh, a ready platform speaker, a whole- hearted defender of the Establishment, a broad-minded Conservative in politics, and a democrat in feeling and sympathy. A thorough Welshman, he laboured uncea-singlv for the revival of tlie Welsh services &in parishes where they had been discontinued, and strongly advocated the appointment to every incumbency and curacy in his native land' men able to speak fluent Welsh. His efforts were always to bring his Church into closer and more sympathetic touch with the people, and to restore her spiritual and national power in the land. His acquaintance with Welsh poetry and literature was extensive, and h>6 was well- known as a composer of trie-ds (triawdau;. He took great interest in the Eisteddfod, and he was Gorsedd Chaplain to the then Areh- druad (Clwydfardd) at the London Eistedd- fod. in 1887. Following tho passing of the Welsh Inter- mediate Education Act of 1889, he actively interested himself in securing a County School for his native town, and it is to-dav interest- ing to note that he and the late Mr'j. P. Ear- wake r. J.P., were the prime movers in the matter. They made such a stir at the Aber- gele Local Board meeting, turd broug-ht such influence to bear upon the movement that the scheme for Denbighshire contained provi- sional authority for the establishment of a County School in tho town. During his iu- eumbencv at Abergele ho erected an iron Church at Peaisara, built a splendid Church House at a cost of = £ 1100, and restored the fine Parish Church of St. Michael's, at a cost of £ 3000. —N*————^——umi

John Wood, Vicar of Branstone, Staffordshire, and for many years senior curate of St. Cuth- bert's Church, Everton, Liverpool, to Miss Evelyn Roberts, third daughter of Mr. Richard Roberts, of "Ty Cclyn," late of "Glan Clwyd," St. Asaph; sister of Mr Malcolm Roberts, University College, Bangor; and mecc of Mrs Roberts, "of 86, LittledaJe-road, Seac-ombe, with whom she has resided for seventeen years. The cfficiating clergyman was the Rev. W. T. Warburton, M.A., Vicar of St. John's, Egrcmont. The bride, who was given away by her cousin, Mr H.M.Roberts, was attired in a dress of cream silk warp, with a long train, and a draped overdress trimnwd with guipure insertion, the corsage and long cuffs being of lace. Her long tulle veil was the gift of her cousin, Mrs D. G. Jones, and was fastened with a coronet or orange blossoms and white heather. She carried a beau- tiful shower bouquet d lilies, white heather, and carnations. Mr T. H. Roberts, a cousin of the bride, acted as best man, and the bridesmaids were Miss A. J.

The former wore a gown of pale grey silk voile, with small vest and half sleeves of cream lace, and she wore a- snVart black fchip hot trimmed with pink roses and net.

The bride travel let! in a tailor-made costume of Navy blur sorgo, and a Navy blue cli p hat. swathed with Paisley silk ribbon, and set. off with large loops and Arty wings on one side, completed a very smart, c-c>;t,unw.

CORRESPONDENCE. A CRl CULT C HAL CO-OPERA II US. (To the Editor of the "})10liœr"). Sir,-—.Mv committee notice that the word "Co-operation" is used of late in reference to various movements that have called for the united action of agriculturists and others interested in the land. While the committee are glad to see that the idea of combination is making headway, th-ey fec-l compelled to protest against th,& misuse of the word "Co- operation" and its application to under- takings which are not truly co-operative. The term "Agricultural Co-operation" ap- plies strictly to those forms oi' combination advocated by the Agricultural Organisation Society, and it is important to us that Agri- cultural Co-operation should not be brought into disrepute by the failure or indiscretions of undertakings to which tho term" Co- operation" is wrongly applied. Many of these undertakings are on utterly unsound lines, and for the very reason that they axe not co-operative, will either fail altogether, cr not succeed in accomplishing the beneficial results which are expected. lire best way to form a.n Agricultural Co- operative Society is to register under the Industrial and Provident Societies' Act, and so to frame the ru:2\S that the amount of the nominal capital is not ilx-ed that shares can be allotted at any tune to any farmer applv- i-g for them: that the interest payable upon the capital is limited, to a small percentage, usually five per cent., thus preventing the concern from becoming a. mere investment for capitalists: and that the bulk of th.e pro- fits is divided amongst the members as a bonus upon the amount of their sales through, and purchases from, the society. A limited liability company in which farmers take shares may be a form of com- bination, but it is not eo-op&ratiooi, and as a faimers' combination is likely to be short- lived. If the shareholders hold shares in approximate proportion to too amount of their dealings with the company, the interest ():1 their shares is roughly equivalent to a bonus on their transactions; but this is a condition which could hardly exist even at first, and if it did exist would very probablv soon cease. Some of the members might leave the district and cease to have dealine-s with tlie company, when they would become mere shareholders drawing profits from the business done through the company by the other farmers. Moreover, if the profiles were at all large, the shares in the company would rise in value, and some shareholders would dispose of their shares to persons other than farmers, who would theai draw profits which should go into the farmers' pockets. Again, if after the company w-ere formed a farmer wished to obtain shares, he might nave to purchase them at A premium and pay so high- ly that the dividend would meirely represent interest at ordinary investment rates on the money which he had paid. In a verv few years such a company would become an ordinary trading concern, the obiects of which would he not to benefit tie "farmers, but to make the'biggest possible profit for the shareholders, and would then be no better than any other middleman. I might enumerate many other advantages which co-operative societies, such as I have described, enjoy over the ordinary limited liability companies, but my purpose is to what is true co-operation as applied to agri- culture. It is all the more that this should be clearly understood, sicca it is becoming generally admitted that co-opera- tion is the form of combination which is like- ly to do most for the .regeneration of agricul- ture.—Youre, etc., signed on behalf of th* Executive Committee.

PRESTATYN LIBERAL CLUB. ANNUAL MEETfNS. PREPARING FOR THE APPROACHING ELECTION. The annu-il meeting of the Prestafyn Liberal Club was held on Monday evening, under the presidency of Mr W. Ingietieid, and there was a large attendance of members. The Secretary (Mr Gordon Pitchford) presented the report and balance sheet, showing a balance in hand of £8 38 2d. A sum of £69 16s lOd had been received from biliiaid playing during the year. In moving the adoption of the balance sheet, the Chairman congratulated the club on its im- proved position, and said that the balance sheet was the best, he had seen since he had been con- nected with the club. No doubt that was largely due to the efforts of the hon. secretary and the caretaker (applause). The report was adopted, and the sum of jS5 was voted to the hon. secretary in recognition of his services. Mr G. Pitchford proposed that. Mr Pennant Wiiliam-, a gent!cman who had helped them con- siderably in their work, be elected president for the ensuing year. Mr Pennant Williams proposed that Mr Her- bert Lewis, M.P., be elected for the position. Mr Pitchford, sen., urged that they wanted a gentleman who would be able to take advantage of local residence to infuse life and enthusiasm into their moribund association (cries of "With- draw"). He was that Mr Pennant Williams would do that. hiie he agreed in honouring Mr Herbert Lewis, lie felt that they could always rely on his support. Mr Pennant Williams' name was then put to the meeting, ar.d was elected unanimously. The following were then elected vice-presidents: Mr J. Herbert Lewis, M.P., Mr Ralli, Mr Thos. Jones, and Mr H. Wright. In the procedure of electing a chairman of committees, the president said that it was highly necessary that they should have at the head of affairs one who would put life and spitit into them, and he therefore proposed that Mr Pitch- ford, tlie vice-chairman, should fill the highest office (hear, hear). It was only right that the vice-chairman should pass to the chair. The motion having been carried, Mr Pitchford, sen., said that under no circumstances would it be right for him to monopolise the, position, as he was a new comer. The office should be occu- pied by one who knew the locality well. There were many in Prestatyn who by virtue of resi- dence and service to the party merited that hon- our. He did not know whether he was fond of a fight or not, but the fighting spirit was upper- most in his mind at that time, and he could sniff the battle 'from afar. There was a certainty that, in a few weeks' time, they would have to take off their coats to take part, in the greatest battle for the nation's liberty that the oldest of them had ever seen. They were in for a big fight, and he hoped they were also in for a big win as well (applause). It was a fight that would shake tb ,tinies of the nation. If tlw, lot it would U a defeat disastrous to the nation, whereas if they won it would be a magnificent triumph for the cause of the people. They had a magnificent cause and excellent leaders; and he said that ôearjng in mind at the same time the days of the Grand Old Man. They were to-day far more democratic than they were in the days

of Mr Gladstone. They looked forward to the time—not when Mr Asquith would vacate office —but to the time hen the Prime Minister would be Mr Lloyd Geoige (applau.se). Mr Lloyd George wo* the first democratic Chancellor of the Exchequer they had had, and lie would be the fust democratic Prime Minister winch the Bri- tish nation had ever seen. Mr Lioyd George did not forget those from whom he had sprung. 't 'ieir leadei's *n 1)ast had c,(,ni.? fi-cr-i ti I i?, aristocracy, but Mr Lloyd George had come from the ranks of the democracy, and hi sympathies were with the people. The spaker sa;d he looked forward with confidence to the tnuinuliant suc- cess of the cause, and he trussed they would do all they could to citect lhat success (applause). A vote of thanks was then passed to Mr Ingle- field for his services during the pa,st year, the secretary adding that he could not have carried h; duties so effectively without Mr Liglt-xield's help. ur Garsxle was then appointed vice-chairman, and Mr Trevor Roberts was re-elected hon. trea- surer.

A diseusiion followed as to the working of the club during the winter, and it was suggested that more attention should be paid to the debat- ing and literary side of the work. It was urged that if a special committee were appointed to deal with the matter it might run counter to the exe- I y*11,'aius si'd tiiit tltev slioiild t'v(-.

He thought that matter could well stand over until aft«r the eh-ction. Mr Wynne argued that in the case of chapel societies the subjects fcr discussion should have a more direct bearing with the:r circumstances. The subjects discussed at the club should be more on political and social lines. Mr Griffiths aid that to oppose such a move- ment in the interests of the little church societies was a selfish policy. What they wanted at the club was political enlightenment, and they did not. go to church or chapel for that (laughter). The Chairman explained that at the opening of last session they had taken the matter into consideration, but the general election had inter- fered with it, and the same thing seemed pro- b.-ib'e tit's year. The comin'lttt-e fullv synipath- n, and they I- I w.t? the mover of the rosol?ut.,o v. ould keep the matter prominently before them. Mr Williams said lie considered that the club was nothing more than a billiard saloon at pre- sent. Jt was decided to ask the new executive com- mittee to take into consideration t!*e question of providing debates of a literary and political nature in connection with the association.
