KNIGHTON RURAL TOPICS. I VIEWS ON RECRUITING. I COUNCIL'S DISCUSSION. I At Knighton Rural District Council, on Thurs- day, Mr Evan Kineey (chairman), presiding, the inspector (Mr David Davies) reported.; that the 'Water-supply to certain houses in Begmldy parish was unsatisfactory and that certain repairs were needed. The agent had promised to have some of these matters attended to, ibut nothing had yet been done. It was decided that a copy of the re- port should be sent to the owner. A letter was read from the Local Government Board urging the council to do, all they could to facilitate recruiting, and to appoint a local tri- bunal to settle cases of appeal—should any arise. The chairman said lie quite agreed with the let- ter. Many men had been starred who ought not to have been. and some were not starred who should have been. Mr Whitmore Green-Price said he would like to see the women of England following the example of the women in France—doing the work on the farms and releasing eligible men for the Army. The following were appointed to act as a tri- bunal :—The Chairman, Messrs. E. Nicholls, Beverley Wilding, P. W. Kinsey, and the Rev. Lewis Jones. PeMnission was given to the surveyor (Mr John Williams) to perform the duties of surveyor to the Teme Rural District Council during, the absence of Mr W.. A. Roberts, who had recently joined the Motor Transport Service.

BY "UNCLE TOM." At. & Brecon, November 16th, 1915. My dear nephews and nieces, I was delighted with October competition, which proved a success in every respect. The essays, especially those of the boys and girls whose names appeared in the short list, were excellent. I am publishing the three best in this week's issue, and I trust all my little relations will read them with interest and profit. I shall write more about the efforts next week. Please do not overlook the an- nouncement of November's competition. The subject is not difficult, and there should again be keen competition. I was very pleased to receive three postcard acknowledgments from my three successful nieces and heartily congratulate them on their achievement. Glasbury, Gwenddwr and Upper Chapel school-children are doing remark- well in the monthly competitions. This is the re- sult of repeated attempts, month after month, and pluck.

I SERVICE AT BETHEL C.M. CHURCH. ,Tli(3re was a very large congregation at Bethel C.M. Church, Brecon, on Sunday afternoon, when the Mayor (Councillor G. T. Jones) and Corpora- tion attended in state. There also accompanied the Mayor, the President and members of the Bre- con Chamber of Trade, and the lodal lodge of Buf- faloes, of both of which bodies the Mayor is a member. The service, conducted by the Rev. John Rob- erts, M.A., Cardiff, was throughout very inspiring. Mr Roberts preached the sermon taking as his text Hebrews xi. 10, "For we look for a city which hath a foundation, whose builder and maker is God." Christian life, he said, in all ages, was a life of pilgrimage. They were seeking to-day what Abraham sought for. They were one in spirit with the life of Abraham. It was not be- cause Abraham was tired of his people and sur- roundings, that he started on his life of pilgrimage. but he was looking for a. city whose builder and maker was God. They were a band of pilgrims, and simply sojourners. They were constantly re- minded that the end was approaching. A city whose builder and maker was God was their object, and that city meant a lot in these days of uncer- tainty. They. were fellow- workers and it was their part not only to wait for that city but to pre- pare for the new Jerusalem. Their heritage was a glorious one. He spoke of their beautiful town and of those who had bled and died for it. These men had inspired its inhabitants. They were working to be fellow-workers with God. A glorious city was prepared for them, with which nothing could compare. All their co-operative decisions should be in harmony with the will of God. He demanded that as He was righteous to men, men should be righteous to Him. His servants especially, He demanded should be as holy as He was. Mercy and compassion they should have with the poor and afflicted within their gates. A city built on these foundations would be God's city, and a city that would be unable to be moved. Such a city builded and governed in accordance with the will of God. man would find his own. In his prayer the rev. gentleman asked for spec- ial guidance to his servant in his new office. The service closed with the singing of the National Anthem.

AT THE POLICE COURT. I The Mayor took his seat as chief, magistrate at the Borough Police Court on Monday. Other magistrates on the bench were Aldermen E. A. Wright, David Powell and H. C. Rich, Messrs. Evan Morgan, James Morgan, C. J. E. Large. and Dr. Francis. Mr J. P. Jones Powell (of Messrs. Jeffreys and Powell, solicitors) addressing the mayor, said it was usually the custom on this occasion for some- one on behalf of the advocates practising in that court to offer to the chief magistrate for the com- ing year their congratulations on his attaining the high oiffce. It had fallen to his lot for many years to be the spokesman of the advocates practising in that court to offer their congratulations. He did so with the equal heartiness lie had done in the past. It was a great honour, after three years' service on the Council that the mayor's work had been so highly appreciated by his colleagues that they had thought him fitted and had appointed him to the high office. It was an honour which he felt sure the Mayor thoroughly appreciated and upon which the advocates in that court heartily congratulated him. Brecon had to be congratula- ted that they had as chief magistrate this year a Welshman of Welshmen, who was accustomed to speak in his native tongue, and who could express himself better in Welsh—if lie might say so-than in English. The best feeling had existed in the past between bench and advocates, and he was sure'it was not going to be different this year. He was sure his Worship would uphold the dfgnitv of the office in the way in which it had been upheld in the past, and apply his business capacity and keen acumen to his judicial work in the same way as it had been exercised in the Council Chamber. When he last addressed the ex-Mayor on a similar occasion he expressed the hope that this horrible war would have come to an end during his term of office and that he would be at the head of the'town in the festivities which would follow the declara- tion of peace. This hope had not. been fulfilled, but he could only again sincerely trust that during the present Mayor's term of office peace would be restored and that it would fall to his lot to be at the head of the rejoicings and festivities that would necessarily follow. (Applause.) The Mayor responding thanked Mr Jones Powell for his kind remarks and the good wishes he had expressed. He hoped with the help of his col- leagues to carry out his duties without fear or favour. There was only one case brought I before the court, namely, that of Catherine Morgan, Cwrty- plyvin Cottage, who was cha-rged with drunken- ness in Brecon on Saturday night. Defendant admitted she was drunk and shed penitential tears. The Mayor said he was exceedingly sorry to find a woman the first person to appear before him, in- asmuch as women were supposed to belong to a more refined sex. He was surprised, during these strenuous days, that defendant could not find bet- ter use for her money than to indulge to such an extent. Fortunately, for her, it was his privilege that morning to discharge her, and he trusted she would take this as a warningi ■ 111 —Ji

FORMER RHAYADER PASTOR. f INDUCTION SERVICES AT DERBY. I REV: THOMAS HOUGHTON'S NEW I CHURCH. A most impressive series Iof services were held in the Green Hill Presbyterian Church, Derby, on the 3rd inst, when the Rev. T. Houghon, formerly of the Presbyterian Church, Rhayader, was in- ducted. The Presbytery of Birmingham, under the presidency of the Rev. W. tanilay, of Staf- ford, met at the church, and the sermon was preached by Rev. L. G. IUcker, of Hanley. The charges to the minister and congregation were de- livered by Rev. J. C. Grant, M.A., of Notting- ham. On Sunday the Rev. T. C. Jones, Penarth (of the neighbouring Church to that over which Mr Houghton presided for three years with marked success, viz., Grangetown Forward Movement), preached an eloquent sermon at 11 a,m., and, at 6.30 p.m.. the new pastor. Rev. T. Houghton, preached to a crowded congregation, a most powerful and impressive sermon on the words of Ezekiel, "I sat where they sat. On Monday friends gathered in the Church Hall for tea and' social fellowship, and, subse- quently, adjourned to the church, where the Rev. J. C. Grant, M.A., presided over the introductory service and welcomed the new pastor, and handed over to him the chair to "preside in your own church." It was a-great pleasure to all to have the company of a former pastor, Rev. Sclater, M.A., Edinburgh, who most heartily and confiden- tly assured Mr Houghton that he would find in Derby a most-loyal band of supporters, and wished him a long and successful pastorate. Their "friends from Wales" were introduced and spoke. Rev. Frank Jackson, Rhayader, spoke of him as a friend and as a workman, who needed not to be asharfjed, one .who would rightly divide the word jTruth. *R ev. T. C. Jones, Penarth, said Mr Houghton was a man of high ideals, a Christian man and a gentleman, and a student "diligent in the busi- ness." "God needs strong men," said Luther, and Mr Houghton was a strong man. Then Mr Jones pointed out the characteristics of a strong Church-as one known for its godliness and faith- fulness, generous and active, prayerful and brotherly. Rev. R. R. Roberts, B.A., Chester, told the friends how he had been pastor to their new minister at two important periods in his life. Years ago, when at Aberdare, he noticed -how faithful Mr Houghton was to the services when, as yet, he was in business, and, at a later time in Cardiff as a student, he found him a most earnest and zealous follower of the Master. Mr Roberts urged the Church members < towdivide. the labour with their pastor by looking after on< another. .The local Churches welcomed the new Presbyter- ian minister. Rev. J. Howell, M.A., vicar of All Saints; Derby, most warmly welcomed the new pastor. He was himself a Welshman, and had been at Deifoy 23 years, and, while deploring the days of slackness through which we have been passing, hoped that this addition to tin religious life of the town would produce much good fruit: On behalf of the Nonconformist Churches, the Rev. George Pagett, xCongregational minister, Derby, assured Mr Houghton that, after 35 years' ministry, the story of redemption was the only message which could overcome the worldliness of the age, and welcomed him to their midst. A most enthusiastic meeting closed with the singing of the Doxolo and Benediction.

THE Prime Minister's Advice TO THE YOUNG UNMARRIED MEN AND PLEDGE TO MARRIED MEN. ———— I "I am told by Lord Derby and others that there is some doubt among married men who are now being asked to enlist whether, having enlisted, or promised to enlist, they may not be called upon to serve, while younger and unmarried men are hold- ing back and not doing their duty. Let them at j once disabuse themselves of that notion. So far as I I am concerned, I should certainly say the obliga- tion. of the married man to serve ought not to be enforced or held to be binding upon him unless and until-I hope by voluntary effort, but if it be needed in the last resort by other means-the unmarried men are dealt with. "I have far too much confidence in the patriot- ism and the public spirit of my fellow-countrymen to doubt for one moment that they are going to re- spond to that appeal—that the young men, the unmarried men with whom the promise of the future lies, are not going in this great emergency to shirk and to leave the fortunes of their country and the assertion of the greatest cause for which we have eyerfought, to those who have given greater hostages to fortune and are least able to bear the brunt.

 I Hiding a Deserter. I BEAUFORT FATHER IN TROUBLE.' George Sutton (48), Beaufort, was summonecl at Ebbw Vale, on Monday, for concealing Arthur Sutton, a deserter, between May 5th and October 27th. Defendant denied concealment. Supt* Saunders told the bench that defendant's son had been home for close upon six months. His uniform was fetched from upstairs, and defendant must have known it was there. The son stated his father was not to blame. He had since gone back to his regiment. Supt. Saunders said such cases were becoming frequent, and he had instructions to take pro- ceedings with a view to putting a stop to them. Defendant pleaded that he was under the im- pression his son had been discharged. A fine of 40/- wis imposed.

WAGES OF AGRICULTURAL I LABOURERS. Sir,—Not only does the Departmental Commit- tee on the Production of Food in England and Wales believe that the landlords would not raise their tenants' rents, I they believe, also, that the grant of a minimum price for wheat would raise the wages of agricul- tural labourers. The reason given for this is that, "if the farmers have this guarantee for the next four years, they will, undoubtedly, be in a position to raise the wages of their labourers, and they ought to do so at ODce." That people ought to do certain things is no guarantee that they will, and, if the farmers have their rents raised, they will he unable to grant higher wages, whether they wish to or not. If any rise in wages does take place, it will be due to the simple fact of there being a scarcity of labour. Some members of the committee evidently considered that no farmer should be paid the bonus unless he could show that he was paying a fair rate of wages. "But," says the report, "there is some reason to fear that, if this condition were attached to the guarantee, it might have the effect of defeating the main object of the scheme." If this means anything, it is that to pay increased wages would make it unprofitable to grow more wheat, even under the bonus, and, therefore, it means that if more wheat is grown wages will not be increas- ed. But, of course, wages would not be increas- ed-even the high protection of last century did not raise wags-for the whole meaning of schemes such as this is higher rents for the landlords. Yours. &c..

TEMPERANCE REFORM. Sir.—In your issue of November 4th Mr A. G. Harris expresses great surprise that at this time temperance men should persist in airing their var- ious theories for the solution of the drink problem. I would also express surprise, and gratification as well that at last our governing bodies throughout the country have begun to deal with the drink prob- lem and to use the words of a writer in the "Daily News" of November 11th, "done more in the twinkling of an eye than temperance reform- ers have accomplished in a generation." One great and far reaching reform is to make treating illegal in London. If I met Mr Harris in London it would be punishable by law for him to "treat" me to even a single glass of "Scotch" or for me to offer him anything stronger than a bottle 1 of pop, which he might not appreciate. The Liquor Traffic Control Board have cut down the hours for the sale of drink by about two-thirds —a "revolutionary" measure which the most rabid teetotaller would not have dreamt of a year ago in munitions areas. The "Daily Mail" referring to the effect of this alteration speaks of some of the parts affected by it as being now "twice as sober." They add "the public welcomed the order." The Central Board has also appointed a commit- tee of enquiry as to the alleged drinking amongst women and asked for evidence lrom various social organisations. Out of 15 different institutions only 2 are temperance societies. I The same authority has this week considerably reduced the hours for the sale -of drink in Shrop- shire and it is expected that the most thickly popu- lated part of that county will very shortly be placed in the "Munitions Area." The Army Authorities are beginning to object to the facilities for the sale of drink to our men in Flanders. It is stated on the authority of an M.P. recently that when tenders were asked for the pro- vision of 15 additional Army canteens to make it easier for our men to get their beer the Inspector- General of Communications would not have them. Other actions by our authorities might be men- tioned to show that in England as in Russia, France, and even in Austria, the evil of drink is being dealt with in a manner, beyond even the most sanguine expectations of temperance reformers.— Yours, etc., I I A. H. WAINWRIGHT. Knighton, 13th November, 1915.

PRODUCTION OF FOOD. Sir,—The principal feature of the interim report (and of the final report) of the Departmental Com- mittee on the Production of Food in England and Wales is the proposal for a guaranteed minimum price for home-grown wheat. The committee de- clares that this is the "only effective measure" for attaining a substantial increase in the home pro- duction of wheat, and they consider that the guarantee minimum price should be 45/- a quar- ter for all marketable home-grown wheat for a period of four years. It is not proposed that the Government should buy the wheat, but that they should pay the farmers the difference between the Gazette" averag e price for wheat and 45 J the farmer being left frae to market his wheat him- I self. One obvious objection to this proposal is dis- cussed by the committee, that no great additional quantity of wheat might be grown, and yet the State would be compelled to pay the bonus to the farmers. To meet this difficulty they recommewt. that the payment should only be made to farmers who fulfil one or other of two conditions (1) That the farmer should increase his area un- der arable cultivation by, at least, one-fifth over the similiar area in October, 1913 or (2) That, at least, one-fifth of his total acreage | under grassland annual crops should be actually under wheat. There is no attempt in this report to prove that the proposed minimum price will increase the total supply of wheat, foreign and home-grown com- bined, or will reduce the price of wheat. There is no attempt to prove it, because this disguised form of protectionism is incapable of bringing about this result, any more than protection could do it at the time of the Napoleonic wars. Money spent in this way will be as good as wasted. In the long run the only people that will be sure to benefit are the landlords. If the price of wheat were left to the uncertainties of the natural -mar- ket, the landowners might have some diffiquity in obtaining incAased rents, but, when they know for certain that their tenants will obtain not less than 45/- a quarter, they will have no hesitation and no difficulty in raising rents. The commit- tee themselves recognise this, but hastily drop the question, saying "we believe that the good-will of the landlords of the country can be relied on to make special legislation unnecessary." This jø cold comfort for the unhappy taxpayers, who would have the burden of financing this bonus added to all their other burdens. Yours, &c., F. C. R. DOUGLAS.
