rtotes from Aberayron. A LETTER (By J.M.H.) Dear Mr. Editor, t. I cannot produce Notes from Aberayron this week tor reasons that will become obvious as you read along. It is necessary to step into the greater world outside sometimes to gam a new point of view. Tliere is danger of losing the sense of the importance of one's own lie and environment by doing so: but again life is uneventful unless one takes some "^t would be a calamity if the significance of the County Cou-icil and the Standing Joint Committee, and the County Small Holdings Committee was dimmed. This must not be, though I stand in sight of the Palace of Westminster. And again to sit beside a river—and there is no river like the Aeron-and I hope the day will never dawn when lead will be found in the bowels of Mynydd Bach-I say that to sit beside a river on a golden afternoon, listening to its whispered melody, while the air about one is fragrant with summer and heavy with the drone of unseen wings is enough! h na t ordinary mortal could wish for more ? And yet you know very well that the ordinary mortal does wish for more. He wants nov and again to hear the drone of men innumerable, as he may in Rhondda Each and in Loiidon--to see Car- diganshire. too, through the inverted end of the telescope Did you ever go by the Taff Vale Railway from Cardiff to the lihondda Valley on a Saturday night? Well you ought to. All the better if it is a very wet night and in war time when there are no lights. It is not a primary consideration on this railway to provide seating accommodation for the people who have paid for it. There were seventeen in the compartment in which I sat. Seven of them were women with parcels and there were five children and six men. One of the men did his very best all the way from Cardiff to Pontypridd to light his pipe, and failed. Another jovial fellow of fifty years never tired to collect pears (which seemed to have an impish way of getting on to the floor of the carriage) into a brown paper bag. I would not complain if all this went on for ever; but it was quite another thing to put up with the cough of a man who thought it was our duty to observe how bad his cough was. The people at home have still -a sub- conscious impression that Cwm Rhondda is what Merthvr was to our imagination fifty years ago. A man who had gone to the end of his tether financially or morally went to Merthyr; and that was the last that was heard of him. He was lost and forgotten. The Cardi at home cannot bring himself to believe that the people of Cwm Rhondda enjoy all the privileges of civilization— that they have baths and electric lights in their homes-that they have on each side of them the glories of peak and tarn. On Sundays they worship in chapels which have cost thousands, built according to the latest architectural plans that rule in the matter of Nonconformist places of worship Sir W. J. Thomas who lives close by, has something to do with this, and I could see how much Mr. Hughes, his private secretary, means to the church at Moria-h. I went to one of those conventicles on Sunday where three of my friends led me. The chapel was as perfect as a conventicle could be. The oak roof had cost Li,ooo. The organ had cost 1650. It was played by a skilful musician. The organ here was meant for assisting men to worship and not for allowing the merest amateur to illustrate his vanity and ignorance. My friends (David Williams, David Evans, and Thomas Jones) wanted to take me down to the most perfect pit in the valley in- stead of going to the Sunday School. My Cardiganshire puritanism held me back, as did also one or two other con- siderations. But I saw the bottomless shaft and the colossal engines and wheels and the wonders of the lamp room. We know of the excellence of Glamorgan- shire singing and it was here brought into the service of public worship. Mr. Thomas, the famous Gwilym Thomas's nephew who sang in "Teyrnas- oedd y Ddaear" at Aberystwyth, was the conductor. When we sang Af at yr orsedd fel yr wyf, Anfeidrol orsedd gras I felt that when thought and intelligence are aesthetically used in our congrega- tional singmg our most cultured young men need not leave the shrines of their fathers. And it is the Cardi withal who impregnates these churches with his influ- ence. He is a greater man; a deeper and a wider man here than at home. I place emphasis on the word man. The atmosphere develops qualities that atten- uate and die in his native air. I wish it were possible to send every pre- centor in Cardiganshire to that chapel just for once on a Sunday morning to see and hear what can be done. The variety that characterized the occxi- pants of the compartment in the train on the way down to Cardiff on Sunday night was more remarkable than the motley com- pany on the way up. I may mention as an instance of the accumiated variety that there were half a dozen babies among them, happily all asleep. There was a drenching rain and utter darkness. It happened fortunately that the sun shone hot next morning and the railway carriage was quite a heated chamber and of a temperature calculated to dry a man in and out. clothes as well. In the non-stop train from Newport to London there was a study in contrasts as compared with the Rhondda train.

IComforts for Fighters.
I Comforts for Fighters. I" •ALMOST FOR CIGARETTES. Appended are extracts from letters re- ceived by K.S.M. i'ear from Aberystwyth men on active service abraod:—- Private T. G. Humphreys writes:- Really it is most kind ol Aber. people to think 01 and do so much for young ana old Aber. boys who are doing their bit. i enjoy the cigs. fine and often think of the givers whilst I am smoking. I met several Aber. boys on the Peninsula and bi gypt. They often used to talk of the gifts they were having from Aber. My word how they were envied by comrades who would almost have sold their souls for a cigar- ette. The boys of Aber. were not back- ward in sharing. Private Tom Jones writes—I do not think this war will last long, as we are getting news every day. I am still on the n look-out for more Aber boys. I am glad you had a good time in the town last month and had a lot of visitors to cheer you up. Driver M. Jones writes—I am afraid this war will last another year. Perhaps it may finish sooner. We are capturing German prisoners every day, which shows that we are working hard day and night. Lance-corporal Stanley Peake writes— Greece has had plenty of encouragement, but still she holds back. If she were to come in, I fancy we would be released from this front, and a good job as it so un- healthy here. Water is scarce, and what there is practically is stagnant. The weather is also dry and hot. I gave the war to end this September; but I think it will last a bit longer. We get bombed pretty often. We practically take no notice of it. The refugess you can count in thousands. A more pitiful sight I have never seen-old men and women tramping over the hot roads with nothing on their 'feet. In fact all grades are evacuating the villages, through fright of the Bul- gars, with their belongings on a four- wheeled cart drawn by oxen. You cannot realize what misery they suffer unless you were an eye witness. The atrocities com- mitted by the Bulgars are terrible. With 'all their brutality, the Turks are our cleanest opponents. Private Lewis Morgan writes-1 ovas in the trenches and did not have a smoke of any kind. Neither did any of my com- rades, and the cigarettes were appreciated by us all. If you were able to see the boys around me you would have laughed. Private J. M. Evans writes—I was dying for a smoke when the orderly come up to me with you most kind gift. It is very pleasing to know that Aber friends are thinking of us out here. The bovs who live with me asked if my father had a shop? I said "No it is the kind friends at home who look after those wHo are doing their bit for King and country." Acknowledgments have also been received from Prvates R. W Jones, Tom Rees, W. H.

Record Stock Sale.
Record Stock Sale. TOWYN S NEW ENTERPRISE. Messrs. Morris, Marshall and Poole, of Chirbury, Salop, assisted by Mr. John Roberts, Maest-egtryn, Towyn, on Tues- day conducted the first of a series of periodical stock sales in a central position near the Post Office. The movement for the establishment of stock sales was ini- tiated by an influential committee of farmers of the Dyssyni Valley presided over by Mr. Robert Pugh, Ysgubor.au, I with Robert Roberts, Rhydygarnedd, as treasurer, and Mr. George Dale Wil- liams, Jrenllyn Stud Farm, as secretary. By general admission the latter threw himself wholeheartedly into the movement and contributed materially to the unpre- I cedented success achieved. At the first negotiations were opened with Messrs. Morris, Marshall and Poole and Mr E. H. Morris met the committee and re- quested the farmers to pledge themselves tc abstain from selling stock on farms to itinerant dealers. The firm agreed to put up pens, advertise the sales extensively, and do -all in their power to induce dealers and butchers to attend. Their efforts were oi-c;lvyi,cd by* complete sw cess, for prominent farmers -and butchers were present from South Wales, Anglesey, Flint, Denbigh, Cemmaes, Cardigan, Montgomery, as well as many from over Offal's Dykte. It is ctVtam that never before in the history of the district has a sale attracted anything like the number and quality of stock or a fourth of the buyers and general public. The trams to and from Towyn were crowded. Before the opening of the sale an inter- esting address was delivered by Mr Her- bert Brown. m-e.-rident tof the British Farmers Red Cross Fund, who was intro- duced tOl. the assembly by Mr. Haydn Jones. M.P. for the county, and who has at all times taken keen interest in all movements pertaining to the welfare of the district. Mr. Haydn Jones said that their guest was devoting his time and money to further the interests of the Red Cross Fund which aims at alleviating the lot of the men who are standing between us and the enemy and were stricken in the fight. Mr. Brown explained that they aimed at obtaining from the farmers of the country a fund of a million of money. Already above £ 379,532 had been raised. (Cheers.) He appealed to the farmers of the district to emulate the good example of their brethren in other districts. Already 700 sales had been held and 200 more were organised. He had in the course of the past few days addressed meetings at Corwen, Machynlleth, Port- madoc, Pwllheli, Dinas Mawddwy, and Dolgelley. One hundred and twenty sales had yielded above £ 1,000 each. At Pwll- heli they hoped to raise £ 1,000 and at Portma.doc £ 350 to £400. It should be distinctly understood that there were no administrative expenses in connection with the sales. The 'auctioneers had kindly in- timated tlieir readiness to give their ser- vices free and it was decided to hold a sale at Tcwyn. He had been personally over in France and ascertained that every penny produced by their efforts were de- voted to the object aimed at without de- duction as salary commission or in any other form. All services were given freely. (Cheers.) He invited the friends at Towyn also to organise a sale believing that the patriotic instincts of the farmers of the district were equal to those of any other part of the country. Mr. Haydn Jones assured Mr. Brown that if the matter were taken up he had no doubt 'as to the result. He advised the meeting to form a committee repre- sentative of the various parishes. The proposition to form a committee to organise a Red Cross sale in connection with the next periodical sale at Towyn was adopted unanimously and the fol- lowing were appointed on the committee which was to meet later in the day to nominate officials, Mr. T. Douglas Jones, manager of Lloyds Bank, consenting to convene the meeting and to act as secre- tary:-Messrs. John Evans, Dolaugwyn Henry Evans, Escuan; Robert Roberts, Rhydygarnedd; Robert Pugh, Ysguboriau; Daniel Roberts, V ailhan, Caierbeallan; Anwyl, Tymawr; Parry, Esgerweddau Meredith Jones, Caethle: R. Williams, Bwlchgwyn; D. Kirkby and D. L. Thomas, Trefaes; Owen, Hendre, Abergynolwyn D. L. Howefl, Dyffrvn; John Roberts, Maestegfryn; Humphrey Jones, Maes- pandy; and G. Dale Williams, Penllyn. Mr. E. H. Morris, in opening the sale, expressed pleasure at the number and quality of the stock and hoped that a successful sale would result. The lots comprised about 350 Welsh black cattle; 4.500 Welsh sheep; and about thirty pony horses, consigned by the leading stock owners of the district, and spoke highly of its possibilities. From the outset prices ruled exceptionally high, especially in the case of sheep which realised exceptionally high prices, a number of buyers from the Vale of Clwyd and the lowlands of Angle- sey paying high prices for sheep to be pastured out for fattening. That f'actor will not operate in future sales until the autumn of next year; but, as a keen brecdeil. of sheep remarked, the show proved that the Dyssyni Valley is an ex- cellent centre for the breeding of pedigree Welsh rams. One of the, lessons of the day was that buyers were prepared to pay high prices for uniform lots of good quality sheep many of which reached re- cord pr:ces. Ir. R. Ll. Lewis, Porthgwyn, obtained 36s. per head for lambs. Several other lots were disposed of from 25s. 6d. to 29s. 6d. Mr. L. Lewis, Faenol, ob- tained 36s 6d. for a pen of 80 Welsh ewes. Mr. Kirkby, Talganeg, 34s. for a pen of 45; Mr. R. Pughe. Ysguboriau, 34s. each for 85 ewes; Mr. Tudor. Glanmachlas, 37s. for 200; and Messrs. Anwyl Bros., Ty- mawr, 57s. Mr. R. Williams, Bwlchgwyn, 35s. for 200. Mr Robert Roberts, Rhydy- garnedd, obtained up to 60s. for Welsh ewes from his noted flock and disposed of some to the Aberystwyth Cbllege Farm, Elanfarian, and others to South Wales. Mr. Bodvel Morgan, Talybont, sold num- bers of his noted flock at sums ranging up to 70s. per head. Mr. Wm. Jones, Tany- bryn, sold 20 improved Welsh ewes at 38s. 6d., a like figure falling to the share of Mr. D. L. Howell, Dyffryn, for 160. Mr. G. Dale Williams sold for 34s. 6d., 35s. 6d. and 36s. per head. Mr. John Roberts, Oaerffvnon, obtained 38s. 6d. for 120. Every < ewe put up scored well over the 30s. mark. Wethers made from 28s. to 35s., the latter figure being secured by Mr. R. Ll. Lewis, Porthgwyn As justi- fying this method of sale a seller also ob- tained 38s. 6d. per head said th^t last year he sold equally good sheep for 26s. each. Under the ordinary eondition* of barter he would have sold this year for 30s to 32s. and then consider himself pretty fortunate. A farmer sold f» pen of sheep privately on the field at 28s. per head and was chagrined tc, find that the pur- chaser obtained 36s. under the hammer within a short time. Welsh black bullocks made from £13 7s. 6d. to JB52 10s. paid to Mr. R. P. Morgan, Penygelli, the highest S- OTC. Two-year-old heifers made from £ 12 to £ 16 17s. 6d. One and Half year old bullocks and heifers sold at prices ranging frotv Pli 7s. 6d. to JE15 2s. 6d. and fat stock from £ 19 to £ 29 Fs., the latter being paid to Mr. R. P. Morgan, Penygelli- The prices of calving cows and heifers ranged from B15 to jE52 108., pa-id to Mr. Vauehan, Arthog. In horses Mr. Geo. Dale Williams obtained 89 guineas for a four year old and 50 guineas for a two year old colt. Mr. R. LI. Lewis,
University of Wales.
University of Wales. MR. WILLIAM GEORGE'S MOTION. Meetings of the Court of the Univer- sity of Wales were held at Shrewsbury on Saturday. Lord Kenyon was re-elected Senior deputy-chancellor, and took the chair. On the motion of Principal Roberts, Mr Lleufer Thomas was elected junior deputy- chancellor. Mr J. H. Davies, Lord Kenyon, and Mr Lleufer Thomas were elected members of the comintitee on hon- orary distinctions. Afterward an extra sitting was held, when a series of resolutions as drafted by the Executive Committee were read. The first ivas "That in regard to the relations of the University of "Wales to the Board of Education the Court assumes there will be no interference with the external ad- ministration or with the teaching of the University, and authorises the appoint- ment of a special committee to confer with the Welsh members with a view to secur- ing that end." Alderman D. H. Williams mov'ed that tho Court adopt the resolution. Mr William George-Does this mean the establishing of a Council for Wales 1" I think we ought to know .more about it. Dr. Chattaway said the idea was to prevent interference by the Board of Education with the work of the Univer- sity. Grants made by the Board of Education to the University were fre- quently earmarked, and so prevented the University developing on the lines thought best. Principal Reichel thought that was an important principle. Tilings looked as if we were moving in the direction of the control of the provincial universities by the Board of Education analogous to the control they exercised over the secondary schools and still more over the elementary schools. If that came about the Univer- sity would; practically* be administered from Whitehall. Sir David Brynmor Jones took the view that the University ought to be completely free. (Hear, hear.) Inasmuch as they wlere accepting financial aid from the Treasury they could not object to the Board inspecting all the accounts of the University but as to the application of the money—the development of the Uni- versity—fie\ should, advise the Court to I demand absolute freedom. (Applause.) Mr. Wm. George moved, and Professor Morris Jones seconded, an amendment that the matter be deferred until the con- stitution of the Court was considered. The amendment was lost, as was also one by Professor Vaughan, of Manchester, expressing the opinion that it was desir- able that complete freedom should be re- tained. The resolution, as recommended by the Executive, was then adopted. Mr. Wm. George moved that the posi- tion and constitution of the University should be enlarged by giving a substantial increase in the number of county and borough representatives. Public authori- ties had lost interest in the proceedings of the Court because there was nothing to do. He thought they should take the opportunity of revising the Court. Mr Pryce (Dowlais) seconded, and said South Wales felt it was a mere farce com- ing to the Court when the whole of the work was cut and dried.—The motion was carried. Mr. George further moved "that the constitution shall be reorganised in the following respect—by giving the Court a full and direct representation on the Board of Governors and Councils of each constituent College." Mr. George accepted an amendment by Mr. LI. Phillips, "that the constitution shall be reorganised by the election of a statutory Council, with well-defined exe- cutive powers, and that in the constitu- tion of that Council provision shall We made for the due representation of the different interests represented on the Court." The amended motion was carried.. Mr. George then moved "that in the opinion of this Court rate aid should be granted." The motion was carried. It was recommended "that the freedom of teaching should be secured as far as possible for the teachers in the colleges, and the best way to secure full freedom of teaching is by a reform of the examination system in the direction of holding inde- pendent examinations for each College." Principal Griffiths said the old Univer- sities could make changes in three months, whereas it took Wales three years. The teacher in the Welsh Colleges was cramped ana if they did not get rid of the red i t/apte their students would suffer. The recommendation Avas adopted with the addition, moved by Professor Sibley, "and by further conferring increased aca- demic powers upon the several Colleges." Mr. Lleufer Thomas, in moving; "that it is desirable that the restrictions in the charters of the Colleges as to the teaching of theology should be removed," said the object was to enable each College to sup- plement thle teaching of the theological colleges, and not to supersede that teach- ing in any way.—The motion was carried.

Rheumatism-Kidney Trouble.
Rheumatism-Kidney Trouble. 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 remove as nature in- tended, to which every qualified physician agrees, and this acid is also the cause of backache, lumbago, sciatica, gout, urinary trouble, stone, gravel, dropsy. The success of Estora Tablets for this treatment of rheumatism and other forms of kidney trouble is due to the fact that they restore the kidneys to healthy action and thereby remove the cause of the trouble, and have cured numberless cases after the failure of other remedies, which accounts for them superseding out-of-date medicines that are sold at a price beyond all but the wealthy. Estora Tablets, an honest remedy at an honest price, Is. 3d. per box of 40 tablets, or 6 for 6s. 9d. All chemists or postage free from Estora Co., 132, Charing Cross Road, London, W.C.

(Continued from previous column). It was one of those carriages with seats for two dotted all over it. It did not appear, except in one case that any two had the remotest acquaintance with one another. A minister sat near who knew the way how to smoke. I do not think I ever saw anyone who smoked with a sense of more absolute complacency and content. I envied him. For three hours not among all the couples was a single word ex- changed except in the case I mentioned. One of these two was a young infantry man of about nineteen years of age. The other was a girl of eighteen years. He looked intently at her face. It was a look that I failed to interpret. She sat without moving her head or eyes and with her hands cupped on her lap. I wonder whether she was his sister or were they lovers. After we passed Slough there was the usual simultaneous stir. Men put their caps in their bags and looked for their hats, The women closed their handbags. I like the sensation of being swallowed up hv London. The train slackens speed. The "platform is reached at last. The twenty carriages disgorge their human freight. In five minutes they are all lost as snow flakes are lost in the sea. I walked up saunteringly from Charing Cross, in delightful sunshine, towards Chancery-lane. Never was London brighter, jollier. It was the sunshine that did it.

I entered and sought Samuel Johnson's pew, and in the dimness which harmonized my hope of the future and a sorrow which had joy in it, for I was on that day cele- bratfinK two ainniv-en;ar'u\s. I think, I praised and prayed. j Chancery-lane, Sept. 18-19. 1916. Your advertisement on this page would reach readers in four counties. I

(continued from previous column.) Porthgwyn, sold a mare for 48! guineas and Mr. Roberts, Cynfal, a two and half year old colt for 47J, guineas.

Special facilities for banking were made by Mr. Thomas, acting manager of the L.C. and M. Bank, assisted by Mr. J. O. Williams off the Machynlleth branch; Mr. T. Douglas Jones, Lloyds Bank, and Mr. Powell, National Provin- cial Bank. The sales will now become a periodical monthly fixture.
