At Erwood market, on Thursday, prices were:—Eggs, 5 for 1/ butter, 1/7 per lb.; chickens, 1/2; ducks. 1/2; geese, 1/1; rabbits, 1/- each; and apples, lid per lb. At the recent Talybont-on-Usk auction mart, conduct- ducted by Mr T. J. Phillips, there was a large supply and a good attendance of buyers. Trade was satisfac- tory, and prices ruled as follow:-Fat lambs, 38/ Welsh wethers, 38/6; and fat cattle, flS to &25. Between 600 and 800 sheep and 25 cattle were penned at Sennybridge mart last week, Messrs. D. and 'W. J. Price (Brecon) being the auctioneers. Sheep sold well, lambs making 36/- apiece, and wethers, two guineas. Fat cattle also sold well, maiden heifers making £25, and cows R24. Rhayader market, on Wednesday. was well attended. There was a large supply and prices ranged high. De- mand was as brisk as ever. Ruling quotations were:- Eggs, 5 and 6 for 1/ butter, 1/8 per lb.; fowls, 5/- to 6/- per couple: trussed ditto, 1/2 per lb.; chickens, 1/3; rabbits, 1/- each; and hares, 2/6. The large supply at Presteign market, on Wednesday, met with brisk demand and there was an early clear- ance. High figures ruled, prices obtained being:—Eggs. and 6 for 1/ butter, 1/9 per lb.: fowls, 5/6 to 6/6 per couple: trussed-ditto, 1/2 per lh.: chickens, 1/3: rabbits, 1/- each; and hares, 2/3 to 2/6. Talgarth market, on Friday, was marked by a large supply and average attendance. Demand was as brisk as ever and high prices ruled.

I -There was an average supply of produce at Knighton on Thursday. Consequent upon the brisk demand, there was an early clearance.

Some useful store pigs were shown and sold well. Fat cows made zell to £ 24; but- locks, 2 years old, £15 to £ 17: 1 vear old, tll to £ 14; heifers, R9 to £ 14: store pigs. 30/- to 35/ strong Welsh wethers, 28/- to 32/ ewes, 30/- to 35/ wether lambs, 15/- to 18/ fat lambs, 6d to 6}d per lb. The weather in Brecon and Radnor during October was wet and stormy, with only a few dry days, and in many parts, especially mountainous districts, corn was still out. Brecon and Radnor crops were harvested in only fair condition. Potato lifting is in progress, but is not forward, owing to the wet weather. Disease is pre- valent from the same cause. Lifting of roots has hardly commenced, but prospects are good, especially for tur- nips and swedes. Autumn cultivation has been much delayed by wet weather. Some wheat has been sown, amounting in Breconshire, where this work is most for- ward, to half the intended area, but, generally, sowing is very backward. Seeds are strong, healthy and vigor- ous. Live stock has done well except in places where they have suffered from the wet. There is an abund- ance of winter keep. Labour is normally deficient, but out-door work, being almost impossible during the stormy weather, the scarcity has not been keenly felt. —————— Mr Lion) George informs Captain Bathurst that the men from farms who will be called up on January 1st or April 1st are those whom tribunals have decided can he dispensed with. Where the man is indispensable and fit for general service a substitute will, if possible, be found to release him for military service. If a sub- stitute cannot be found he will remain in his civil oc- cupation. The substitution officers charged with this work will he chosen, as far as possible, from people acquainted with local conditions, and. in effecting sub- stitutions, will work in co-operation with the represen- tative of the Board of Agriculture. Substitution has been in operation for some time, and nó difficulties, such as the wives and families of farm workers who have been called up having to leave their homes to provide accommodation for the substitutes, have developed on a scale seriously to affect the general success of these early experiments in substitution.

I CRICKHOWELL COUNCIL. LIGHTING EXPENDITURE. I ROADMEN AND THEIR WAGES. Mr W. G. James presided at Crickhowell Rural Council on the 6th inst. The clerk reported that the local councillors, Messrs. H. Thomas and E. Pirie Gordon, considered the question of approaching the Crickhowell Gas and Coke Co. with regard to reducing their charges for the lighting of the town, having regard to the fact that the number of lamps had been reduced, through lighting restrictions, from 42 to 17. The amount paid under the contract with I the Gas. Co. was £ 3 per lamp, and upon their in- structions lie wrote to the company asking for. a reduc- tion in their charges. In reply, the company wrote stating that they had very carefully considered the matter, but were unable to make any reduction, owing to the special circumstances now prevailing, more par- ticularly the extraordinary increase in the price of cgal and materials. The coal contract, it was pointed out, had been entered into on the assumption that the whole of the lamps would be required. If, at the end of the winter, they were in a position to make an allowance, they would he pleased to do so. A further meeting of the Crickhowell councillors was held, and it was decided to terminate the contract by six months' notice, and this, stated the clerk, had been done. Mr E. Pirie Gordon moved the adoption of the report. It would he better to forego lighting 17 lamps than pay J120 a year, and the surveyor assured him that if any extraordinary difficulty arose some means of substituted light could he provided. Mr Henry Thomas seconded, and it was carried unani- mously. Rev. W. Arvon Davies: Our contract with the Gas Co. will come to an end in April next. The Chairman: Yes. Mr T. LI. Jones moved that an increase in wages be granted to the council's roadmen at the rate of 2/- per week per man. The men were under-paid, and he did not think they would ever get back to pre-war con- ditions. Twenty-one shillings a week were now only equal to 14/- in normal times, and, if a man had a family, he really did not know how he managed to live on it. There was no calling so ill-paid as that of a road- man. Mr C. F. Cox seconded. Mr E. Pirie Gordon proposed, as an amendment, a war-bonus of 2/- a weefc, remarking that enormous changes would porbably take place after the war, and to tie their hands at present was not the best course to adopt. Mr A. J. Thomas seconded, and the amendment was carried, only the proposer and seconder voting for the resolution. After discussion, it was decided to pay a bonus per- centage on the earnings of men engaged on piece work for the council.

Farm Labour Problem. SERIOUS SITUATION IN BRECON AND RADNOR. A meeting of the Executive Committee of the National Farmers' Union, in London. on' the 7th inst., passed a resolution that no further depletion of agricul- tural labour should be made until the combing out of all the other industries was completed, and that re- presentatives appointed by the local agricultural bodies should be co-opted on any substitution committee. Mr J. W .Jones said the latest decesion of the War Office was creating a very serious situation in Brecon and Radnor. Eighty per cent, of the agricultural labour- ers were single men, and 70 per cent. were under 30 years of age. According to the present regulations, the War Office was going to take every man under 30, and send farmers substitutes. Their experience of the sub- stitutes sent to gather in the harvest was so disappoint- ing that they were not prepared to trust the class of men the authorities might send again. If all the single men were taken the farmers would have to alter their system of farming. The plough would go into the ditch, and they would have to go in for rearing stock.

When Life was Simpler Life was Longer. the organs begin to weaken, whether .early or late in life, the hardworking kidneys us- ually tire out first, and should have first con- sideration. Failing eyesight, stiff, achv joints, rheumatic pains, backache and distressing urination arc often due only to weak kidneys. At the first sign of weakness give the kidneys pruinpt attention. Drink water freely to flush the kidneys, and use Doan's Backache Kidney Pills to strengthen them. Go back to the simple life, to the sensible habits of your boyhood days. Eat less meat, iavoid over-work, excesses and worry, and take more outdoor exercise, rest and sleep. Everybody dreads Kidney trou'b!e, but this sen- sible treatment will keep the kidneys in condition, lengthen Life, make it.easier, and perhaps avert altogether the more serious kidney diseases. Brecon people have recommended Doan's Back- ache Kidney Pills to their friends and neighbours for over 15 years.

More Llandrindad Soldiers Fall. I We regret to report that lrs Davie, of BroohiaIld Road, has now received official information that her hus- band, Mr John Davies, has been killed in action. He was previously reported missing. News has been received that Mr Tom Davies. formerly of the L. & P. Bank, has been killed in action in France. Mr Davies resided at the Spa for a number of years, and was subsequently transferred to the L. & P. Bank at Builth Wells. He was a great favourite in social circles, and he had a great company of friends amongst the young people of the towns of Llandrindod Wells and Builth. Of irreproachable character and a very pleasant disposition, he will he greatly missed, and his early death cuts short a very promising career. He was in the same Middlesex Regiment as Pte. G. J. Oliver (who is missing), and he had not heen out for more than two or three months. Pte. Gilbert Oliver. I We much regret to report that official news has now been received that Pte. Gilbert J. Oliver, second son of the late Mr and Mrs W. Oliver, The Limes, Llandrindod Wells, has fallen in action. He was at first reported missing, but the worst fears have been realised. The fallen soldier had entered upon a promising career as a clerk in the London, City and Midland Bank, and, at the time of joining up. he held a good position at the Shrewsbury Branch. He was an old pupil of the Llan- driudod Wells Intermediate School, and he has four brothers serving in the Army. On Sunday evening, feeling reference was made to the sad event at the Friends' Meeting House, where deceased worshippd for many years. He was a young man of very high char- acter and of a very genial and gentle dispesition, hav- ing joined the Army under a strong sense of duty. He was a member of the Shrewsbury Golf Club and a prominent member of the Shrewsbury Amateur Football Club. He joined the Bankers' Battalion and went out about two months ago, being attached to the Middlesex Regiment. He was 24 years of age. Monday's official announcements state that Pte. C. E. Davies and Lee.-Cpl. C. H .V. Owen, both of the* K.S.L.I., have been wounded. <

M. P as "Orderly. M.P. as "Orderly." Sir Francis Edwards Doing His fig Bit" AT KNIGHTON HOSPITAL. Sir Francis Edwards, M.P., performed the dutie,, of orderly at the V.A.D. Hospital, Knighton, on Friday night. this being the second time he has been thus employed. In reply to our correspondent's enquiry as to whether his services had given satisfaction, Sir Francis, good humouredly, said he believed they had, as he had heard nothing to the contrar-at any rate. he had tried to do his best. When asked why he under- took the work, he assumed a more serious bearing and quietly answered, "There is a real need, and I could not appeal to other men for assistance unless I was prepared to help. I told the men tt I was quite willing to do my hit in this work, and I have taken the first oppor- tunity of fulfilling my promise." Our correspondent suggested that, perhaps, this example might stimulate other., who could spare time for -5ticit work. and Sir Francis said he hoped it would. —

RADNORSHIRE PENSIONERS. Exchequer Bonds. CURIOUS ATTITUDE. Aid. C. C. Rogers presided over a long meeting of the Radnorshire Pension Committee at Llandrindod Wells on Friday, when a number of appeals against the de- cisions of pensions officers, with regard to the addi- tional allowance of 2/6 per week, were gone into. The pensions officers fully established most of their decis- ions, and, in several cases, it transpired that the appli- cants had from X200 to £ 250 in the bank. 3tr James Hamer pointed out to most of these people that if only they would re-invest these sums of monev in exchequer bonds they would get 32 1 per cent. addi- tional interest, but his observations were received with incredulous smiles, and one good lady exclaimed. "I am' afraid I should be left without a penny if I did that, and then I should have to go to the workhouse." One lady said she had every faith in the post office. but Dot in the Government, and others pointed out that while the money was in the post office they could draw it out at any time. Mr Hamer endeavoured to explain that exchequer bonds could be sold in case of real need. but applicants, apparently, remained unconvinced, and Mr Hamer gave up his task as a hopeless one.

Jumble Sale at Penybont. ANOTHER BIG SUCCESS. A successful jumble sale and social entertainment were heldvat Penybont on Friday. The sale was opened at 2 p.m., and, although the day was very wet and stormy, a large crowd assembled to sample the bargains, and trade was very brisk. In addition to the usual clothing stall, there were fruit and vegetable stalls, a sweet stall, and a stall for new articles. Tea was pro- vided at a charge of ninepence, many beautiful cakes being given so as to increase the profit on this parti- cular effort. The tea was largely supported. At 7.30 a social entertainment took place, when the room was crowded. A splendid programme of music was given bv local singers and a party of helpers from Llandrindod Wells. A pleasing feature was a solo given by Mrs I Lewis, of Canada (nee Miss Cissie Collard), who is on a visit to this country, and is at present the guest of her brother at the Severn Arms Hotel. The bran tub was a great feature of interest, the dips causing roars of laughter. An auction of poultry, geese, apples and hare was held. Mr Collard -acted as "cheap Jack." and a substantial sum of money was realised. There was also a gift of sheep, but it was deemed expedient to hold these over till the November fair day. Encouraged by their success, the committee are already considering holding another sale on the live market day. The whole of the proceeds will be devoted to the Comforts' Fund. it being the intention of the committee to send parcels of warm clothing to the local soldiers.

Wanted, Buttermakers. BRITISH Butter is unquestionably better than foreign. JD yet the latter is often bought in preference. This is an injustice both to the British producer and to the buyer. It is an injury which could easily be avoided. The British housewife believes that butter presenting a rich golden uniform colour is the ideal. The foreign producer meets her wish, and all his butter has the rich golden colour which sells. A perfectly safe means is provided whereby the British maker can impart to his butter just that golden colouring which will commend it to the eye, as decidedly as its quality will commend it to the palate. The remedy is the "SILVER CHURN" BUTTER COLOUR, manufactured by OLDFIELD, PUTlXWN. <fc Co., of Manchester, the successful survivor of the severest tests at the principal shows, where it has gain- ed First Class awards for 30 years. Equally satisfactory is the high praise it has won in the numerous dairies where it is regularly used. These competent approvals are due to the absence of any unevenness or muddiness in the colouring, and to the fact that the use of "SILVER CHURN" does not affect the butter-milk. The butter itself is not injured in the process; it is im- proved. Its delicate creamy flavour is enhanced. It should he clearly understood that "SILVER CHURN" is a vegetable product, entirely free from any aniline dye. (A guarantee by the makers to this effect will be given any user desiring it). It may be obtained from Chemists and dairy supply men in 6d. 1/ 2/ 5/ 10/ and 20/- bottles. To secure satisfaction obtain the "SILVER CHURN" brand. Free trial samples from the manufacturers.

I War Relief. LLANDRINDOD WELLS COMMITTEE. Mr J. O. Bufton. J.P. (chairman) presided at a meet- ing of the Town War Relief Committee, which was held at the County Buildings. Llandrindod Wells, on Wed- nesday evening. The secretary (Mr H. Oliver) reported that the fund had been registered under the War Chari- ties' Act, and he produced the certificate. The Belgian Committee reported that there was now only one Belgian refugee left in the town, all the rest having left that week. The hostel had been given up, and arrangements made for the lady remaining to stay in private lodgings. The Entertainments' Committee reported that games, for the use of the wounded and convalescent soldiers at the Grand Pavilion, had been purchased to the value of R5. The reports of the committees were adopted. Christmas -Presents-LIOO Needed. Attention was next given to the question of funds for sending Chnstmas parcels to local soldiers, and tm> chairman said that those who had been thinking about this matter estimated that at least flOO would be neces- sary for this work, the number of local men on service having greatly increased since last year, and the cost of all articles usually sent considerably advanced. The question of over-lapping by Church efforts was re- ferred to. and the chairman expressed the hope that t-hb vear that would be avoided. Rev. J. Jones, B.Sc., expressed his readiness to fall in with a town scheme. The importance of getting the correct names and addresses of all local men on service was emphasised by the secretary, and a scheme was devised whereby all collectors will be supplied with slips on which to obtain information, and it is hoped that every house- hold will facilitate the work of the committee in this matter. Ward collectors were then appointed.
