Williams stating that he has seen from the "Telegraph" that there is a "town fund" for local lads serving abroad, but he says that neither ho nor Pte. WiHie Jenkins (Dew Street) has ever received anything from it. He went to France in March, 1916, and has been wounded three times, the lapt time being in June last. He was then sent down to the base, where he met Jenkins. Before the war Williams was working with Drs. Wilson and Mills, and Jenkins wnsan assistant with Mr Maddocks, Bridge Street. We have posted each of these lads a box of cigarettes. We are constantly receiving letters to show how much these gifts are appreciated. It is the only local fund cf the kind. Accidents —Miss Clara Griffiths, 81, Quay Street, Haverfordwest, met with a slight accident near Canniston Wood on Wednesday last. Miss Griffiths was riding the hill without brakes when her hat blew off, causing her to lose control of the bicycle. She was cut and bruised about the hands and face, and was conveyed home in an uncon- scious state by Mr and Mrs Bell, Narberth. We are pleased to hear that Miss Griffiths is making a splendid recovery. On Wednesday evening a little boy, Willie Swales, son of Mr and Mrs Fred Swales, Canton's Row, was playing on the Race- course, when he caught his foot in a hole and fractured his thigh. He was taken to the Infirm- ary, where he is progressing favourably. The little lad is only 2 years and 11 months old. Haverfordwest Allotments. Thü Town Council allotment scheme has proved to be in every sense a successful undertaking. Thirty-five plots may now be seen, showing the best results. Potato crops are everywhere successful, and a striking feature is that grass land, which was said to be unsuitable, has proved especially fertile in the growth of peas, beans, carrots, parsnips, cab- bages, A'c. A very noticeable feature is the new method of potato culture introduced by Mr Parkes of Hillside. It is the Irish method of merely lift- ing the sod and planting the potato without further labour. This was looked upon by local gardeners with a certain sceptical eye, but the large crop which Mr Parkes is now raising proves that we spend too much labour on potato culture. The general opinion is that the allotment system should not end with the war, but that it should become one of the many blessings which we have derived from the German "blockade." atnHnwMBHHH
Bazaar at Broad Haven.
Bazaar at Broad Haven. A TURKEY FETCHED £ 7 10s. The bazaar held at Broad Haven Schoolroom (by kind permission of Mrs Newton Colborne), on Thursday last in aid of the Walwyn's Castle District Nurse Fund, was a record success. The promoters were favoured with fine weather, and quite early in the morning visitors from the local villages, and the towns of Haverfordwest and Milford, flocked into this favourite seaside resort. The opening ceremony took place at 2.30 p.m. promptly. Mr Howell Walters presided, and was supported on the platform by the Baroness de Rutzen, the Mayoress of Haverfordwest (Mrs G. H. Llewellin), Mrs Warren-Davis, Mrs W. C. Llewellin, Mrs Newton Colborne, Mrs Sidney Dawkins, and Mrs Sage. On entering the building the Baroness was presented by Master Peter Saga with a beautiful bouquet of roses grown by and the gift of Captain Hugh Thomas. Having been introduced by the Chairman, the Baroness de Rutzen declared the bazaar open. Votes of thanks were proposed, seconded end supported by His Worship, the Mayor, the High Sheriff, Mr E. Grainger. Mr S. W. Dawkins, Scoutmaster A. J. Wright, Mr A. E. Sage (hon. sec.), atyl Mrs Howell Walters (president). Miss Chambers of Fisbguard gave a short interesting address on "The Land." From the opening to the close the school was thronged with eager bargain hunters. Whether they secured bargains or not, suffice it to say thai) by 8 p.m. the stall holders had the gratification of seeing their sfealls denuded of goods. In the meantime those superintending the tea bad a busy time, &nd it is due to the organisation and fore- thought of MPS John Rogers that it became possible to ten." nearly 300 people. The results of the bazaar, the gross takings are as follows :—Refresh- ment Stall—(Mrs W. C. Llewellin and helpers), £ 31 12-j. 10d., men's stall (Mr Howell Walte-es and helpers), X9 13s. 2d., art stall (Miss Parsons and helpers), £ !> Os. Od., fancy stall (Mrs Sage and helpers), i'20 10s.

DawkiDS and family), -Ell 109. ad., plain stall (Mrs Grifliths and Mrs Williams), £ 3 16a. (Id. The mqney taken at the door was iG 7s. 9d.; sweets and cigarettes (Mrs Watson, Walwyn's Castle and Miss Summers of Rosemoor), estimated £18, amounting to rather over X160 gross takings. The Committee of the district Nurse Fund can use no words sufficient to emphasise thejr gratitude to the stall holders and helpers who contributed to such a magnificent result. Where all are so worthy of praise it would be invidious to particularize, but as instances of enthusiasm Mr Howard Llewellin raffled a turkey for X7 10a. Od., and Miss Madge Llewellin procured £ 3 4s. 6d. for a pair of fowls, while Mrs Howell Walters achieved a record with xl3 12s. 3d. as the proceeds of a raffle of a collection of articles for the farmer's stall. The success of the bazaar was largely due to the untiring enthusiasm and.work of the president of the Association, Mrs Howell Walters, and the hon. sec., Mr A. E. Sage, T An interesting feature of the bazaar was the Guard of Honour furnished by the Haverfordwest Scouts, with the addition of Deputy Coast Watcher, Mr Wilkes Harvey, Coast Watchers Jenkins, Thomas, and Kale. After the opening ceremony the following wounded soldiers were presented to the Baroness de Rutzen: Corpl. John Owen, Gunner John James, Corpl. Collins Thomas, and Pte. George Thomas (all wounded in France).

I LOCAL CASUALTIES. ILIEUT. WM. DEACON HAYMAN KILLED. We regret to hear that Lieut. Wm. Deacon Hayman, brother to Mr Frank Hayman, dental surgeon, Victoria Place, Haverfordwest, has been killed in action in France. On Friday Mr Hayman bad a message from his mother in Somerset announcing that a letter had been received from the Colonel of the Regiment to which Lieut. Ha,y- man was attached, communicating the sad intelli- gence that her son was killed in France on August 13. It was added that death was probably iustautaneous. The youug lieutenant—he would have been 20 years of age OIl the 15th inst.—was known to many of our readers in Haverfordwest. He was a pupil of the Haverfordwest Grammar School, and intended taking up dentistry as a profession. Wheu war broke out he joined the O.T.C., and was afterwards granted a com- mission. He had spent about 12 months in France, and was slightly wounded in the Somme, after which he was home for about six weeks. Lieut. Hayman, who was very popular with his men, was a very promising young ofticer, and the deepest sympathy will be felt with Mr Hayman in his heavy loss. LIEUT. HUBERT F. DAY REPORTED MORTALLY WOUNDED. Mr John H. Day, Robert-street, Milford Haven, on Sunday received news that his only surviving son, Sec.-Lieut. Hubert F. Day, of the Royal Fusiliers, had been wounded, feared mortally, in'" the recent fighting in Flanders. The letter was written by a brother officer, who said that on Friday week a section under Lieut. Day were ordered to clear an enemy machine gun emplace- ment. The gallant attacK was not successful, and when the men returned they reported that Jjieut. Day was left mortally wounded, and as the position remained in the possession of the enemy, it is naturally assumed that the young officer was left in their bands. No further news is available, and the sympathy of the whole tows goes out to the parents in their anxiety, the more so as their eldest son. Sapper Harry Day, R.E., lost his life in Gallipoli. Hubert was popular with everybody, and wo. hope better news may yet come through before our next issue. A FRACTURED ARM. Pte. Emrys Williams, Gate Hous, Narberth Road, Haverfordwest, is home from Franca as the result of a fractured arm. He has been at the front 1'2 months. Pte. Williams is a native of Letterftton. MILFORD MAN WOUNDED. Amongst the local men recently wounded is Pte. Frank Cleeveley, eldest son of Mr Frank Cleeveley, Newton Noyes. At first passed for home service, he served for some time on the East coast, but subsequently he was placed in a higher category and was sent to France, where he was badly wounded in the left arm in the recent fighting around Ypres. He is now in hospital in the Isle of Wight. His brother Howard was killed in France last summer. A GLOGUE HEHO. As briefly announced, Sergeant J. Phillips, Ffyuondeg, Glogue, Pembrokeshire, of the 85th Labour Company, lias, as a result of hie coolneaa and indomitable courage, been awarded the Mili- tary Medal. In a mot praiseworthy manner he conducted his men (many of whom are Welshmen) out of heavy shell fire. Sergeant Phillips ealisited in the Royal Welsh Fusiliers at the commence- ment of hostilities, and has served with that regi- ment in France for two years. LIe was wounded during the recent struggle on the Sum me front. KILLED WilILE ATTENDING WOtiNDED. 11 News has reached Pembroke Dock of the death in France of Corporal W. J.

TWO SOLGIERS -DROWNED.I
TWO SOLGIERS DROWNED. BATHING TRAGEDY AT TENBY. A distressing bathing tragedy, in which two soldiers lost their lives, occurred at Tenby on Satur- day evening. The victims were Lance-corporal Baverstock, and Private Percy Arthur, both of the Welsh Regiment. Accompanied by other soldiers, they went to bathe from the South Shore, under the esplanade, just after six o'clock, when the tide was nearly at the full. There was a high sea running, and three of the men, Baverstock, Arthur and Private Turnock, K.S.L I., got into diiffculties. Private Ellis, K.S.L.I., succeeded in rescuing Turnock, but although desperate efforts were made, notably by Mr Geo. Henry Rees, of Tenby, Baverstock and Arthur were drowned, their bodies being recovered later in the evening, Turnock, after recciving attention, recovered sufficiently to be taken to Pembroke Military Hospital. THE INQUEST. On Monday the coroner, Mr Price, held an inquest at the Town Hall, Tenby, on the deceased soldiers. Evidence of identification was given by Lieut. John Stanley Rowlands, 4th Welsh, at present stationed at Penally. He said that Lauce-Corpl. Baverstock was 23 years of age, and in civil life was an ironmonger. He had been with the 4th Welsh since June, 1916. Witness believed that the deceased was able to swim. George Henry Rees, Tenby, said he was on the Esplanade on Saturday evening, when he heard a lady shout that some soldiers were drowning. He went to the sands, and hurriedly divesting himself of his clothes be went into the water. One of the soldiers was shouting for help, another soldier was near him, and a further soldier on the rocks. While witness was about 100 yards away, two of the soldiers disappeared. The tide was coming in at the time, but the weather was very rough, and there was a strong current running. Another soldier was helping the man from the rocks. Pte. John James Henry Ellis, K S.L.I., said he was on shore when he saw three men in the water. He helped a man from the rocks who was in an exhausted condition. One of the soldiers who was drowned went out to help his struggling comrade, when both disappeared. Lance-Corpl. Oswald Allen Morgan, 1th Welsh, said he had known Pte. Percy Arthur fouonths. He was about 19 years of age, and was a tinplate worker in civil life. Evidence was also given of the recovery of the bodies from the water, and the jury returned a verdict or" death from drowning."
SMALLER lACKS.
SMALLER lACKS. VIEWS OF THE PEMBROKESHIRE WOMEN'S WAR AGRICULTURAL COM- MITTEE. The Pembrokeshire Women's War 4griculural I Committee at their Executive meeting hold on June 21ith decided that the following petition be sent to the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries- We beg to petition the Board of Agriculture to obtain the reduction of the weight of the standard sack, from four to two bushels, for the following reasons;- (a) A large number of men suffer from rupture caused by carrying the present standard sack, and are thereby rendered unfit for military duty, as well as being occasioned much suffering in their civil occupation, (b) Owing to the shortage of male labour, women and boys are being increasingly called upon to handlethese sacks, and unless the weight is reduced, we view with alarm the danger to which these women and boys will be subjected." The following has been received from the Food I Production Department "The attention of the Food Production Depart- ment has been drawn to the desirability of reduc- ing the capacity of the standard sack, (iii common use for cereal and other produce) from four to two bushels, in order to lessen the risk of injury to those employed in handling it. It is reconised that such a change is likely to cause temporary incon. venionce and that it must be effected gradually, but in view of the increasing number of women, boys, and men in a low category, who arc now employed, it is a matter of very great importance to remove any risk of personal injury resulting from the hand- ling of unduly heavy weights. The Department therefore recommend that when firms are ordering fresh supplies of sacks the capacity should be reduced in all cases where it is possible to do so."

Milford in Mourning. I Naval V.C. and Several Local Men Killed. -1 Naval casualties include Lieutent-Commander William E. Sanders, V.C., R.N.R., killed. Like Commander Gordon Campbell, Lieutenant-Com- mander Saunders was given the V.C. for a deed of which the particulars have never been made i public. In the London Gazstte" of June 22, the award was stated to ba in recognition of his conspicuous gallantry, consummate coolness, and skill in command of one of H.M. ships iu action." Ho was 34 years old, and the eldest son of Mr E- II. C. Sanders, of Auckland, New Zealand. Sir Thomas Mckenzie, High Commissioner for New Zealand, though unaware of the nature of Lieutenant-Commander Sanders' exploit, says that he understood that it was one of the most brilliant minor engagements of the war. Lieutenant Commander Sanders was well- known at Milford, where he was immeusely popular. He had many exploits to his credit. In addition a number of Milford men also lost their lives at the same time—Skipper F. Lake (married), Hakin, native of Brixham Seaman Gilbert Wilson, Albion-street (married), son in-law of Mrs John Bevans; Moffat, Pill (married); — Ferguson Dai Carpenter (single), Hakin, son of Special Constable Carpenter; and W. Knight (single), Hakin. All the men were well known locally, and much grief is felt at their loss. Wilson leaves a widow and three children, whilst the case of Moffat is a particularly sad one, his young widow having lost her first husband on H.M.S. Goliath. -0

Labour Amalgamation at Milf oi-d. Meeting of the Fishermen's, Fish= workers' and General Labourers' Union. A general meeting of the Milford Haven and Dis- trict Fishermen's, Fish Workers' and General Labourers' Uuion was held in the National Schools on Friday evening last, under the presidency of Mr W. Picton, who was supported by Mr J. Twomey, Swansea, general secretary of the National Labourers' Union of Great Britain and Ireland. After a few preliminaries had been disposed of, Mr Twomey delivered an address upon the bandits of combinations for mutual benefit to the workers, which was we!) received. After some discussion it was uuanimously re- solved: "That in view of the fact that the em- ployers in the lato arbitration cases played off one union against the other to the detriment of the men, also in view of the fact that the Milford Haven Fish Trade Protection Association ignored the Trade Union's request for an advance of wages by saying it was a matter for the individual em- ployer to deal with, that we join the National Labourers' Union." In future all disputes will be dealt with by the National Amalgamated Labourers' Union. The following resolution was also carried That this meeting strongly condemns the action of the County Appeal Tribunal for the favouritism shown to certain individuals, namely, Cole, Francis, Farniey and Thomas in granting them exemption while in no sense are they indispensable, while others in the town have been obliged to close their business and join up, even married men with families, and that we call the attentiou of the authorities to the same. We want justice for all with no favour." [ It was decided that a copy of this resolution should be sent to the local papers as well to the War Office.

Milford Fish TradeI Grievance.I
Milford Fish Trade Grievance. IMPORTANT CONFERENCE. Last April tbe Railway Executive made a drastic change in the arrangements for the carriage of all goods sent by passenger rate and this has especially affected the fish trade throughout the country. These goods must now be sent pre-paid," instead of carriage forward." All aopsignments of fish sent by fish trains come under passenger train rate and one of the chief reasons for the change was the shortage of clerical labour on the railways in conse- quence of the war. The singular thing about it. however, is that the Scottish and Irish ports have been exempted from the arrangements, and naturally this has caused a feeling of dissatisfaction and injustice" amongst the English and Welsh i interests concerned. The matter was taken up with the authorities some time ago, and Mr Walter Roeb, M.P., has made repeated representations on behalf of Milford Haven and also mentioned the matter in Parliament. The Railway Executive have now appointed a deputation to visit the different ports to ascertain by way of conference the local feeling and difcms the points at issue. On Tuesday afternoon this deputation consisting of representatives of nil the railway companies visited Milford Haven and held a conference at the Liberal Club. Mr D. G. Jones, in an able manner, put the case, for the Milford port, pointing out, amongst other things, the increased amount of capital which merchants had to lock up, the extra financial risk, and the increased clerical work with depleted staffs. An interesting discussion followed in which Messrs W. C. Wbittow (chairman of the Milford Haven Fish Merchants' Protective Society), W. H. East, T. Pearn, C. J. Howell, C. W, Cobb, A. E. Fielder and others took part. The deputation will report in duo course.
PEMBROKESHIRE AND MEMORIAL1…
PEMBROKESHIRE AND MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION, (To the Editor of the "Milford Haven Telegraph.) DEAH SIR,—It's a poor case that needs to be bolstered up with iunuendos and the imputing of unworthy motives to others such as were indulged in by Colonel Roberts and Mr Howell Walters during the discussion which shed such glory upon the County Council, as it onoe more refused to join the Welsh National Memori&l Association. Col. Roberts, with vehemence worthy of a better cause, twits the Association on its shortage of funds and at the same time supports the action of the Council which withholds from that body a sum of money collected from the ratepayers to which it is morally if not legally entitled. The County Council is indeed so Hush of funds that, according to its Clerk, it included in its own precious scheme the taking over of the Association's doctor and the paying of his salary. And yet a correspondent in one of your contemporaries has been at pains to prove that the Council's refusal to join the Memorial was dictated by considerations of economy. With regard to the Council's own scheme, has the Council as a whole ever given its details serious consideration ? I venture to assert that the policy of the Health Committee is deliberately that of letting matters slide, and the people of Pembrokeshire cannot fail to be impressed with its insincerity in its attitude towards so important a matter as the treatment of tuberculosis. That some other public body is guilty of culpable negligence, as instanced in the gruesome story told by Colonel Roberts, only tends to intensify the auger of a long-suffering com- munity at the policy of "drift," of which the Council itself is guilty. One would like also to ask why, apparently, there were only 40 voters present at the meeting last week? Are there not over 60 members on the Council ? Surely such a question as this, involving the health of the people, ought to ensure a better attendance. When the opportunity comes will there not be shirkers to dispose of at the ose of at the polling booths? As a matter of fact the Memorial Association's offer to treat tuberculosis patients in the county has been flouted by a minority of the Council. As to Mr Howell Walters's wild cat" fear of Welsh National Institutions, he may rest assured that if Home Rule in Wales means the multiplication of such bodies aB"the Pembrokeshire County Council, there will be few in Wales to favour such a prospect. The assertion made by Mr Waltert; in the recent discussion only adds another to several ill-considered and rash effusions which go to his credit. Oh for a County Council election once again I How long will the people continue to be mis-represented ? I am, yours, pig.; RATEPAYER. I
Not a Conscientious Objector
Not a Conscientious Objector SOLDIER'S SUICIDE AT HEARSTON. On Friday afternoon Mr. Coroner Price held an uiquest at the Military Hospital, Peiiit-. Dock, concerning the death of Private William John Huxtable, 4th Welsh Regiment, who committed suicide by cutting his throat with a razor at Hearston Camp on the previous Wed- nesday. Mr. F. J. Tallett was foreman of the jury. Margaret Charles, 3, Church Cottages, lumoie. said that deceased was her adopted son and was 24 years of age. Before he joined the Army, two months previously, he was em- ployed in a colliery. He had tried to join several times before, but was rejected. Is there any truth in the talk that he didn't want to join the army?—He wanted to join. Can you throw any light on why he did this. Was lie queer in his manner?—He told me in one letter he was worrying about the home. Have you got that letter?—I have got it at my home. John Henry Thomas, a private in the 4th Welsh Regiment, -said that deceased was in the same hut as witness. Witness saw him last alive on Wednesday evening at reveille when lie seemed to be all right. AI)olit seven o'clock Private Jones told him that there was blood on the floor of the latrine'. Witness went in and found deceased there with his throat cut. He was in a stooping position and was alive. He had his hand to his throat. A razor was lying at the other side of the latrine. Dr. Williams was sent for and arrived soon afterwards. Witness had not had much con- versation with the deceased, who usually seemed miserable and apparently did not wish to mix up with the other men. Witness had never heard deceased threaten to kill himself. Nobody had ever interfered with or "bully ragged" the deceased. On one occasion when asked how he was, deceased said "How can you expect me to be all right in place like this." An officer stated that the man joined on July 4th. He had on one occasion received two days' confinement for being dirty when on guard. He was reported sick on August 6th with dyspepsia. Dr. W. R. E. Williams said that on Wednes- day night he was called to see the deceased and found that he had been carried into a hut. He was alive and was able to speak, although suffering from a severe wound in the throat. He told witness that he was broken hearted. He bled profusely. Witness ordered his re- moval to the hospital. The wound was three or four inches long and was a deep one. He died as the result of the wound at 8.30 p.m. the same evening. The Coroner remarked that rumours had got about that this man was a conscientious ob- jector and had been knocked about and badly treated. He thought the statements that had been made that afternoon disposed of that. It appeared that the man was an attested man, and had also on several occasions attempted to join up, before he went to Hearston. The Jury found that deceased committed suicide, but there was no evidence to show the state of his mind at the time.
————————.———————— Potato Disease…
———————— ———————— Potato Disease In Pembroke- shire. -1 Although a large part of the country is stii1 apparently fi-ee from outbreaks of potato disease, the recent weather has favoured late blight, and a number of cases have been reported from various parts of Pembrokeshire. Since the first cases were intimated about a month ago, cases have been notified from the counties of Glamorgan and Carmarthen. Experts at the Food Production Department say that they expect that a large num- ber of cases will occur on unsprayed plots during the next few weeks. Unfortunately, late blight is not the only danger 'to the potato crop induced by present weather con- ditions. Cases of crops rotting in the ground are reported from badly drained clay land.

WHY NOT EAT MORE RICE?
WHY NOT EAT MORE RICE? In view of the fact that in countries of Europe and Asia rice is universally a staple food and is found to admirably mejet bodily requirements, it is somewhat surprising that rioe is not a more popular food among the people of the United States gener- ally. Rice contains more nutritive matter than wheat or any other grain, nearly four times as much as potatoes, and almost twice as much as fat beef. Rice is an ideal food for the invalid, and is equally valuable as a muscle builder for those en- gaged in bard work and who are in perfect health. An amazing revelation of the Russo Japanese war was the health and endurance of the Japanese soldiery, whose main diet has always been rice. At the time of the Boxer uprising in China it was found that the Japanese could outmarch all the armies of otner countries. The strength and endur- ance of the jinrikishaboysaf Japan area constant source of surprise to the traveller in that country, and it is a common saying among resident American women of Japan, "Oh I could do that if I bad a Japanese back," referring to the strength of loin possessed by the native women.
RHEUMATISM—KIDNEY TROUBLE.…
RHEUMATISM—KIDNEY TROUBLE. I Rheumatism is due to uric acid crystals in the joints and muscles, the result of excessive uric acid in the system that the kidneys failed to re- move as nature intended, and this acid is also the cause of backache, lumbago, sciatica, gout, urinary trouble, stone, gravel, dropsy. Estora Tablets, a specific based on Modern medical science, are the successful treatment, and have cured numberless obstinate cases after the failure of all ether remedies, which accounts for them superseding out-of-date medicines sold at a price beycmd all but the wealthy.

I Milford Labourers' Wages.
I Milford Labourers' Wages. I FURTHER INCREASE REFUSED. I Attitude of Urban Council. At a special meeting of the Milford H-ne:, Council held on Friday evening, the question of the wages of the labourers employed at the Gas and Water Works was again considered. Councillor D. Pettit presided, and the other members present were: Councillors Morgan Howell (vice-chairman), W. Jenkins, E. E. Carter, G. Hancock, G. S. Kelway, J. B. Gaskell, L. J. Meyler, C. T. Blethyn, Hugh Tlioiiias, and W. C. Whittow. The following report of the Gas and Water Works committee was submitted:— "Your Committee report that they have given their careful consideration to the application received from the National Union of Labourers for an advance of 13s. per week in the wages paid to the men engaged at your Gas and \\ater Works. They caused enquiries to be made with respect to the wages and working conditions of the various classes of men in undertakings of a similar size in different parts of South Wales, and they find that the wages and conditions of your employees are equal to any, and superior to most, of those they have had under comparison. It is further notice- able that no application of a like nature to that made to you is under the consideration of any of the other undertakings. In view of such facts your Committee cannot do other than recommend that the application be not granted." Mr. Kelway, in moving the adoption of the report, said they had seen the correspondence between Mr. Twomey and the Council. The Committee had made very full inquiries from other Gas and Water Works in the neighbour- hood and for many miles around, and thev found that in the majority of cases, Milford Council paid more wages than any of the other works, and that the other conditions of work were also better at Milford. Jhey had, there- fore, come to the conclusion that there was no reasonable ground for asking the Council to make any advance on the present wages. He might say that the increased wages and bonus- es granted to the council employees since the beginning of the war compared favourably with the increases granted to the employees of any similar undertaking in South Wales-certainly this side of Swansea. He further stated that whenever employees of the Council had made applications for an increase of wages it- had always been sympathetically considered. He mentioned that because it was stated in one of Mr. Twomey's communications that an ap- plication from some of their employees had been refused. As a matter of fact no applica- tion from any of the Council's workmen had been refused up to the present. (Hear hear). He made that explanation for the benefit of the public. Mr. Howell seconded the adoption of the re- port, and it was unanimously agreed to.
County Labour Party and Stockholm.
County Labour Party and Stockholm. BRANCHES DIVIDED. I A meeting of the .Executive Committee of the 1 County Labour Party was held in Nevland on Sun- day last, when the attitude of the Party towards the Stockholm Conference was considered. The secretary's report of the London" Conference on August 10th, which he attended, was discussed, and reports were received from various parts of the county regarding the feeling among the members upon the matter. It appeared that the feeling in Milford Haven was against the Stockholm Confer- ence, while in Pembroke Dock honours were even. Two large branches that had discussed the matter decided in fanour after long and heated dis- cussions—by single figure majorities, and although the Pembroke Dock Trades Council had unani- mously voted for the Stockholm, a Nevland Trade Union branch had recorded its emphatic decision against. Also against the Milford opinion was placed the miners. Under the circumstances it was thought unwise to take any definite step and it was unanimously agreed to ask the National Executive Committee to conduct a referendum of all affiliated Trade Unions on the matter. The annual report and balance sheet was dis- tributed, from which it appeared that the income for the year was £ 43 /s 8d, and the expenditure £ 30 10s. It was also decided that if any of the Labour nominees to the Local Food Control Com- mittees were disregarded, to appeal to the Food Controller on the matter. Arrangements for the annual conference to be held in Pembroke Dock on the 25th were completed. It was decided to obtain the opinion of the annual conference upon the question of the attitude of the Party during the I next Pttrliament-ary elections.
Milford Allotments.
Milford Allotments. ■ Claim for Compensation. The Milford Haven Council at their last meeting had before them a claim from Mr Thomas Davies, Haven's Head, for ZCIO 10s. compensation, andss. a week in respect of a field in St. Anne's Road taken over for garden allotments. The 8s. a week is claimed until such time as the field has been re- stored to grazing. The olaim was forwarded to the Council by Mr J. S. Owen, Executive Officer to the Agricultural Executive Committee, It was stated that the field was owned by the Estate Co and consisted of about one acre. Mr Meyler was informed that the compensation money would be paid by the Agricultural Executive Com- mittee, but it bad to be confirmed by the Council. Mr Kelway understood that the field was taken over with the consent of the tenant. Mr Gaskell said the tenant altered his mind. Vice-Chairman (Mr Howell)s: He refused his con- sent to the War Agricultural Executive Committee. Mr Whittow asked for the correspondence that took place at the time when applicants for plots stated that Mr Davies was willing to give up the land providing he had permission from the owners. Vice-Chairman I took the form down to Mr Davies at the station for him to give his consent for the Council to take it over, but he point-blank refused to sign the agreement. It was mentioned that the annual rental of the field was X4 lQs. per annum, and Mr Davies also claimed for cost of gracing at 5.s a week, and in re- spect of XIQ recentli, spent on manure for the field. Mr W. Jenkins; It seems that he wants to make a bit out of it. The Clerk pointed out that the declaration was Vflade on oavh before a Justice of the Peace, Mr Robert Cole. Mr W. Jenkins remarked that £10 for manuring one acre was absurd. The claim was referred to the highways com- mittee.
LOCAL WEDDINGS. I I
LOCAL WEDDINGS. JONES-DAVIES. The marriage took place recently at Bangor of the Rev J. Emlyn Jones, Baptist minister, Bargoed, Mon., to" Miss Maud Witton Davies, daughter of Dr. Witton Davies, formerly of Haverfordwest. Mrs Emlyn Jones was born at Haverfordwest. Her father was classical and mathematical tutor at the Haverfordwest Baptist College for 11 years. WADE-MENDS. All roads seemed to be leading to Keystone on Thursday morning last. Standing on the Green outside the chapel one could see people coming from all directions to the sacred edifice. One was inclined to ask, what was the loadstone that drew together such a crowd? We were not kept long in suspense. In the distance one could bear the whirr and boot of a motor car. The crowd soon began to be restless. The car presently drew up at the gate of the chapel, and out of it emerged a happy, smiling bridegroom. Soon afterwards the bride, who looked very charming, came along in a car, and leaning on her father's arm entered the sacred place of her childhood. We knew then the cause of such a crowd. When the people, who thronged into the chape), were seated, the wedding ceremony was proceeded with, and Richard Stephen Wade, the only son of Mrs Wade, of Dunston Park, was joined in holy matrimony to Elizabeth (Bessie) Mends, daughter of Mr and Mrs Mends, Keyston Hill. The bride was attended by her two sisters, Mary and Elsie as bridesmaids. The duties of best man were carried out by Mr Willie Childs, of Roch. The Rev. J. Lloyd, Wolfsdale, officiated,. assisted by Rev. J. C. James (pastor elect) of Keyston and Nolton. After the ceremony the wedding party, together with a few relatives, wended their way to Keyston Hill, the home of the bride, where the wedding breakfast was partaken of. Later on in the afternoon the hapny couple left, amidst the heartiest wishes of a large number of friends, for the station en route for Swansea and Cardiff, where the honeymoon is being spent. IVIr end Mrs Wade' were the recipients of:a. large number of costly and useful presents,

Farm Labourers' Minimum. I
Farm Labourers' Minimum. 25s. PER WEEK TO BE PAID FORTHWITH. The Press Bureau announces All employers of agricultural labour are reminded that after the passing of the Corn Production Bill, which received the Royal Assent yesterday, no able- bodied man employed on time work should receive for an ordinary day's work, less in weeklv wages and allowances than the cash equivalent of 25s. a week, Rates of wages will in due course be fixed by the Agricultural Wages Board, but in the mean- time, any able-bodied workman, who, after the commencement of the Act has been paid less in wages and allowances than 25s. per week, will be entitled to recover the difference in the county- court or the court of summary jurisdiction at any time within three months after the rate is fixed. The value of allowances will in such cases be settled by the court, before which proceedings are taken. The President of the Board of Agriculture, there- fore, advised that with a view of avoiding disputes and litigation, employers should agree with their workmen as to the customary or reasonable value of any allowances which are reckoned as part pay- ment of wages.
FARMERS AND BEEF PRICES.
FARMERS AND BEEF PRICES. A mass meeting of farmers held at Bristol on Thursday resolved to ask Lord Rhondda to sub- stitute for his scale of beef prices an Order under which farmers would receive at least 75s per hundredweight live weight from September 1st to July 1st. The Food Controller proposes 71-3 for September, but reduces the amount to 60s by January and February. This reduction, combined with the cost of winter feeding, it was contended, would cause thousands of immaturo beasts to be rushed to market for slaughter, with the result that there would be the danger of a famine in English beef next year, when the country would be dependent on thp American Meat Trust.
