Much sympathy is felt for his widow and his father and family in their bereavement.

Plonks (organising secretary) addressed a meeting of local members of the Church of England Men 's Society at St. Mary 3 Church on Monday evening. Prior to deliver- ing his addres5 the rev. gentleman admitted the following new members:—Messrs R. H. Owen, J 79 Beach-road Robert M. Roberts, 35, James- street; R.. C. Watkin, 21, James-street; J. E. Window, 65 Orme-road; J. R. Shoe, James- street Dcv.i Wynne Owen, Orme-road, and N. Price Smith. In the course of his addresg Mr Monks urged the members to send as ma/y letters as they could to our eoldiers at the front, for this was the great opportunity of the Society. It would be forging a. link of fellowship which would bo priceless on their return from the battlefield. When the war came to an end they could draw these men to the services of the Church by that link of fellowship. Some of our soldiers would return all the worse for their experiences, for it was not inspiring to- kill the enemy; some would return better; while the average man would come back broader-minded and with a larger vision of life. The work of the Society must be to lead these men to their own places in the Church. Each branch of the Society must be a band of spiritually minded men gathered roU! the parish priest. He strongly urged the branches to take up' such questions as temperance and im- purity. PRODUCTION AND SALE OF GARDEN I PRODUCE. MR NUGENT HARRIS COMPLIMENTS LOCAL I ALLOTMENT HOLDERS. Mr Ningent Harris, the general secretary of the Agricultural Organisation Sooiety, delivered an address at the Town Hall, last Friday night, on "Garden produoehow it can be organised in the interests of producer and consumer." The Mayor (Mr R. J. Williams), who presided, said that Bangor had done as well as any town in North Wales of its size in producing food; but tihey were not satisfied, and it was hoped to treble the garden prodiuotion next year. He referred to the movement in the city to bring the producer and the consumer in touch with eaoli other. He said he had been anxious that nothing should be done in this direction which would close any greengrocers' shops in the city, and if the produce its established a shop that would inevitably take place. An arrangement had, how- ever, been a,rrived at to enable the producers to sell their veigetables to the Ehops on terms accept- able to both, and yet the purchasers could reiy upon getting the vegetables at the lowest price. Mr Nugent Harris, in the course of his ad- dress, congratulated Bangor on the admirable work accomplished in regard to food production. He remembered the time when lie was struck by the absence of allotments in Ba.n.gor, but now, as lie walked through the city, he saw here and there oa.ses of gardiens w>.ioh, in his opinion, would do credit to those towns in England where allotments had been in existence years before the war broke out. He understood that up to the present Ban- gor had been fed with vegetables by Cornwall and Worcester, through Liverpool, despite the fact that in North Wales they had the finest soil -c? )r had the and climate in the Kingdom. There was no rea- son why the Bangor people could not be supplied with all the vegetables they required from with-- in a short distance of the city. But tha.t could only be aooomplislhed by one and all working to- gether to a definite standard. An individualistic policy would lead to disaster; they must provide what the greengrocers, who knew best the pal- ates of their customers, wanted. He dwelt on the need of oonferenoo with the, college authorities to get the best results of the land. The- averago production of potatoes in Carnarvonshire was four tons to the acre, but it was possible to got 26 tons to tho aore. Mr Jenkinson, Conway, did so In Germany, ?Q tons of potatoes was pro- duced to the aore on land inferior to oure. He referred to the by products, and avid that Lanca- e*hiirc, before the war. imported large quantities of potato-starch for textile industries, and that despite tho fact, that we could produce all the po- tatoes we required. He wa6 pleased to an- nounce that Bangor was the first town to deviae a scheme for the we of the produce of allotments with a fair prioe for the producer, a fair profit for the distributor, and a fair prlce for the oon- eumor. Other towns had been stimulated by Bangor's fine example, and were adopting the ecli^mo. "The women have done magnificently— I am speaking of women up and down the coun- try." adoed Mr Harris, "but I muet Say that the women of Bangor stand pre-eminently as womcn who have gone a step further than women in any other part, of the country that. I have oome in contact with. You deserve to be oongratu- lated here, and you will reap your own reward. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for wdiat you have done here" (cheers). Colonel the Hon. Staple ton Cotton stated that we could only meet the present shortage of food and the soaring prices by organisation which oould accomplish anything. It was our duty not only to produce food, but to preserve and oon- eerve it. He was speaking the other day to a thoughtful Labour leader, who spoke in grave terms of the unrest among those who had not benefited by the war, men with fixed incomes, who had not. received a penny war bonus. The increasing price of food for these men was seri- ous. It was their duty to ma.ke every effort to reduce fcheie prices. Did the allotment holders know that every cabbage they raised lowered the priocis all round? He urged them to grow all the food they could- On the motion of Mr E. R. Davies, Normal College, who said they in Bangor were encou- raged by what had been said, seconded by Mrs Price White, who remarked that the Bangor allotment holders were evidently working on tho right lines, a vote of thanks was accorded the f.pfxikers. Proposing a vote of thanks to the Mayor for presiding, Colonel' Cotton mentioned that he was really the originator of tha scheme to enable tho allotment holder.; to sell their produce, and he had brought his business acumen to bear on it LOCAL AMUSEMENTS. I THE PICTUREDROME. I The two serials iiiown here, "The Fanatic" and "Laughing Mask," continue to rivet the attention of the audiences, who closely follow tho episodes as they are unfolded each week. Those are, of course, supplementary to tho star piotures which this week have been The Trans- gressor" and "Whan Women Love," the last named being shown during this week-end. Next Monday, and the two following evening's., the bdl topper will be "A Soldier a.nd a Man," a drama that ran for 4'000 nights in Great Britain and the Colonies, and which in it3 picture form is also one. of enthralling interest. The 12th episode of "Tho Fanatic" will also be included in the programme. For the rest of the week thcire is "The Millionaire Ba.by," a picture fuU of gorgeous ecEHies and ma.gn'ficsnt splendour. There will be a change of one-reel comedies on Friday. COCXTY THEATRE. I With close attention the audiences followed the unfolding of Grim Justice" during the first half o £ the week. This was shown by their demeanour. How they cheered Gideon, the hero, and appeared qude annoyed with Jude, the villain of the piece, who met his deserts. Among the funny films was on.e which featured Billy ou.I-i t l eat. Alt-houg'h the in-tit»duotorj: note explained that the humorist was Billy Wect, his close re- semblance to Charlie Chaplin dl-ceived a good many. He certainly is the best Chaplin mimic we have seen. In "Masks and Face?," the sire-reel super- film bdled for the first ha.!f of next week, the producer has given a subject of old-world charm, and has succeeded in captivating that most elusive of all things—atmo-iphere. The curtains seem to roll back, and enters another world as, fascinated, one views the manner and customs of other days, a.nd learns the hiytc.ry, through the medium of the screen, of the beautiful but humble orange girl from the Emerald Isle who grew to be the darling of the people, lovely Peg Woffirig-ton, who was a great actress un- fpolled by fame. It ju^t a Iranian tale of the 1 mpic emotions and p?tf?Ha of life; dramatic in parta, yet navcT approaching mdo&'ama. It depends not on for success, running on smoothly without any jarring note, and has little average picture of to-day. Rather it depends upon faithful representation of the characters whore lives it attempts to por- tray. It is above all a beautiful pageant, and with every pa.rt even down to the humblest super reprasented by a master of his craft, it is ?tt wondor tbat the whole is a magnificent wo.L'k of art. Posterity will offer her thanks to those who ma.de it. possible for them to have a true pic- torial representation cf twentieth century art and of the urti^tOs who created it. What would we not give to-da.y for a picture with the late S r Henry Irving, to go back to fairly recent t:.mos> The future generation can have no such re arrets. "Youth's Endearing Charm," the attnaotion for the second bait of the week, is a very delight- ful film, and the wmles of Mary Miles Minter are an asiset to the story. There is a charm about tile play and the aetrees that be oannot described, but it will be felt by all who see it. The orphan, Mary, is hired out to a farmer and his scolding wife, who by way of consistency, heaps her wrath equally upon husband and children, as well as on Mary. Bmt:1Hy used, she flies from this "home," a.nd reacui jyg the city, starving, adopts the ruse of a blind begga.r. She is arrested a.s a vagrant, but Harry Dtsbrow, the dissolute son of a wealthy mall, a'jo arretted for drunkenness secures her release. The influence of sweet Ma,ry is at once apparent-. He ta-kes her home to hu father and mother, and becames a changed youth. In a word, Mary gives him a new idea of life. Spaco wiH not admit of a recital. of all the incidents in this pretty play; of Mary's love for the ^on who rpmufd her, her devotion to the father, and the final ho me thrust to the mother, who. when Mary flies back to the orphanage, finds a blood-stained handkerchief, the result of her protecting the father, and a pathetic little note. The mother, who had termed her a workhouise brat" is the mosit in- sistent that Mary must be brought back, and must marry her eon. A very obarming film story, beautifully portrayed.

The programme included pianoforte solos by Private Jones (The King's); songs-by Mrs Morris, Miss MiFt3 Hetty Williams, Sappor Mitchell, all of whom ware encored. The work of the Association at the camp has been greatly hampered by the rough weather which has caused considerable damage to the marquee, but the erection of a more substantial hut has been comrneno-d this week. LIFEBOAT INSTITUTION. A musical fete and tea was held on Wednesday week in aid of the funds of the local banch of the R.N. Lifeboat Institution. In these days the claims of older charitable and benevolent in- stitutions aire apt to be overlooked in the multi- tude of war appeals which are constantly urged upon public sympathy, and it is pleasing to re- cord tne unqualified success (in spite of unfavour- able weather) of this event. The entertainment was arranged und?r the auspices of the Y. W.C.A. Committee ft,E, mem- bers of whidh, together wilh Miss Thomas, the lion, secretary, rendered valuable assistance. The afternoon portion of the programme, held in the Castle, by kind permission of Si,r R.

NEW POLITICAL PARTY. I STRONG SUPPORT FOR MR. I LLOYD GEORGE. Tho Central News political correspondent say?: —- An important riovement in domestic politics, which will presently materialise in the definite formation of a new and distinct political party, is in progress. The nucleus of the new party is to-be found among the most acti ve tsupportero. of Mr Lloyd George, and those mainly concerned in its organisation include members of the Liberal War Committee and a number of Un- ionists members who for some time past have been conspicuous by their independent attitude on matters connected with the Home Rule con- troversy and with social reform. The main points of the programme, to which it is hoped to draw a large measure of public support, are the vigorous prosecution of the war and a far-reaching policy of social re-construc- tion on democratic lines. Funds to conduct a vigorous propaganda and establish a "machine" ill the country quite as powerfu l as that of either the oid Liberal or Unionist party are available. The promoters of the movement number some of the wealthiest met. in both parties. The ques- tion of ■icquiring an important London news- paper to support the party has also been under consideration It ought to be stated that the Prime Minister has had no :Jart in the steps which are being tancn to form a stable party out of the elements which are supporting the Coalition, but it is clear that, in the event of- an election fought oir the war isst.12 or on a big programme of social re-construction, he would have the support of all the resources of the new body.

Carnairvon people who have been accustomed for many years to the regularity of • the pass- ages of the cargo boat Christiana," twice a week between the town and Liverpool* have learnt with regret of the proposal of the owners to suspend, the traffic. It is a matter which closely affects the tradesmen of the town. A meeting of local tradesmen has "ppointed the Mayor (Mr Charles A. Jones) and representatives from among themselves as a deputation to wait upon the directors of the company with the view of having the sailings continued. A further meeting of the tradesmen of the town was held on Tuesday, convened by the Mayor, who pre sided. The Mayor reported that he had seen Mr Owen Jones, GLan Beuno, and Mr T. Morgan Lloyd, two of the directors of the company, and as the result of a conversation with them he was of opinion that if the tradesmen agreed to an increase of 3s per ton on the present rates the "Christiana" would continue to run. It was decided TO send a telegram from the meeting offering to agree to the proposed increase. There is every rooson to believe that the steamer will continue its sailings. DOG SAVES A CHILD'S LIFE. I A unique presentation was made at tho Borough Polioe Court, on Monday, when the Mayor (Mr Charles A. Jones) placed a collar, given by the R.S.P.C.A., round the neck of a smooth-coated oollie dog, owned by Mr Evan Owen, Bee Hive Restaurant, Turf-square, which saved the life of a s ix-yea.r-o!d boy, named T. J. Williams, Bank-street, Ca,rna,rvon, who accidentally fell into the Menai Straits. The Mayor explained that, on June 6th, the boy T. J. WiUiams, whose father is a soldier, fell from tIiW e slipway into the sea. At the time there was a etrong ebb tide flowing, and it car- ried the boy awa.y. Seeing tho plight of the boy, Albert Llewelyn Owen (6), son of Mr Evan Owen, Turf-square, threw stones into the water in the direction of Williams, and in-this way he induced the dog to enter the water. It gripped the boy by the jersey and brought him safely ashore. The matter was reported to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, who de- cided to present a collar to the dog, and also 10s .f an d a 6 o los to the boy Albert Llewelyn Owen, for the intelli- gence he had shown. The collar bore the fol- ic wing inscription: "Presented by the R.S.P.C.A. to 'Gelert' for saving a child from drowning on Wednesday, 6th June, 1917." The dog's name reminded him (the Mayor) of the famous dog which was supposed to have been buried in Beddgelert, and wiiioii met an untime- ly end. He hoped no suoh fate would befall Car- narv on's "GeIert." The dog, accompanied by its owner, was then conducted to the bench, where it mounted on a chair, and the Mayor duly placed the collar round its neck.

regimental pierrot troupe. Tea was provided, but it was served with some diiffculty owing to the weather conditions. The following ladies had charge of the tea :—Mrs Burton, Mrs Pcake, Miiis Bri&rcliffe, Mrs Coulthard, Mrs Lloyd, Mrs Bowen, Miss Archdall, Mrs Rhys Jones, Miss Williams, Miss Geary, Mi:s Madge Owen, Miss Nora Thomas. Valuable assistance was given by Mrs Wright, Mrs W. O. Griffith, Mrs R. Owen, Mrs Evans. Mies Burton, Miss Ursula Peake, 7Vii Hettie Matthews, Miss Coulthard with Girl Guides, Boy Scouts, Brownies, Cap- tain Wright, Mr 0. Evans, etc. The musical pom-ion of the entertainment was repeat-od in the Town Hail in the evening, a.nd so many people were unable to secure seats that a repeat performance had be to be given on Friday evening. Tho efforts of the Pierrot troupe met with un- qualified approval A most delightfully varied programme was submitted ranging grom grave to gay. Lieut. Lloyd and Corporal Grace were towers of strength on the humorous side. To general regret Sapper J. V. Cox, 'the univer- sal fun provider, was unable through indispo- sition to be present at -"Yedr,esday's-performallee, but took part on Friday. Three young lady visitors, the Misses Tarr, Verity, and Richard- son, assisted the troupe, and proved themselves comediennes of a very high standard, their contributions to the programme both single and concerted being warmly encorc-d Songs, etc., were rendered by the other members of the troupe, as follows :-The Misses D. Brimecombe, Nancy Williams, Tryphen.p, Davies, Corporal ,1 ilbertson, Sappers Whittall and Finklc-stein. The orchestra contributed several selections. Miss Annie Jones acted as accompanist.

R.S.P.C.A., then handed to Arthur Llewelyn Owen 10s, presented by the branch for the in. telligence he showed. The boy was offered a 10s note or four half-crowns, and after some hesita- tion he selected the money. "I hope," said the Mayor, "that you will join the Boy Scouts when you become a little older The boy who was saved was also present, and the MLLyor gave him a sum of money.
