-OBSERVATIONS-
OBSERVATIONS- October 21st, 1904. I have no desire to teach God how to im- prove the world which He has made, and in my present ignorance I would not alter it if I could. I am always somewhat ashamed of my affec- tions, for I find that people like those who are pleasant to them, or useful, or otherwise satis- factory. It is less painful to bear the forgetfulness and indifference of friends than to stimulate remembrance and to remove indifference by calling attention to them. I have refused to seek happiness, but have never failed to meet it. A wise man makes mistakes, but he finds them out before they are discovered by other people and he keeps his own counsel.

ACTORS' CHAPLAINS.I
ACTORS' CHAPLAINS. There are few of us who realise that the actors have a Church Union of their own, with a membership of about 830. The annual meet- ings are to be held this month in London, and from the annual report it is quite evident that the greatest sympathy exists between the mem- bers of the Union and the chaplains in the various towns visited by touring parties. The Union has an excellent scheme in course of organisation for a hostel where the children of actors will stay when their parents are on tour. Already S600 has been subscribed to this excellent object. The secret of the success of the work depends very largely upon the pro- vincial chaplains who are urged to make system- atic visitation of every threatre and music hall within their district.

SHOWS-AND SHOWS. I hope this year it will not be necessary to call attention to any of the pieces staged in the various places of amusement. Plenty of good stuff is obtainable without indecency being dragged in.

Mr. David Samuel writes on the late John Roberts, the engraver, a musician of some note who died in 1879. He was precentor at the Welsh Baptist Chapel in Baker-street, a compiler of tune books, and a composer of many congregational tunes, of which the best known is "Alexandra," whose melody is carved on his tombstone in the Cemetery. His two daughters live at Bow Street. Reference is made in the "Cerddor" to Mr. Jack Edwards's new song, "0 Adfyd i Wynfyd." Mr. W. H. Trenwith Davies, A.R.C.O. (son of Mr. David Davies, Queens-road), organist in Patricroft. Manchester, writes on "Notes from the North." The notes are well written and most interest* ing. Mr. Davies thinks the most popular hymn tune in the north among the free churches is "Arizona;" he hears it wherever he goes.

CARDIGANSHIRE FINDS. Writing on January 12th, from Falcondale, by Lampeter Mr. Frederic Dundas Harford, C.V.O., of H.M. Diplomatic Service, tells me "You will be interested to hear that for a year past an iron cannon ball weighing 91b. and a stone cannon ball weighing 31b. have been preserved in this house. The latter is of black stone-I should say basalt. They were found at Waun about five fields from Castel] Allt Goch, on the right side of the G.W. Rail- way Line about half-way between Lampeter and Derry Ormond Station, on the top of the hill and behind Alitgoch Wood. In this wood there are, as you know, remains of a circle. It was by chance conversation with an intelli- gent man, an old soldier still serving in the Welsh Regiment, that I learned of the existence of cannon balls on his holding. I said mv brother would like to have them (fearing they yiis-ht be lost) if he would consent to part with them, on which suggestion he acted. I presume thess- cannon halls date from the time of the seventeenth century. Both balls are of the same calibre. T shall he pleased if vou will send a note to the Areb.-Camb.E.E; in "Archaelogia Cambrensis."
.MERIONETH MINItIC.
MERIONETH MINItIC. A well-informed correspondent, writing with reference to recent finds of gold in Merioneth, states that the mine is not for sale. It is being worked by Australian soldiers honourably dis- charged after serving the empire in France and including rmn from the great mining regions of Australia. The ores include free gold, copper pyrites, sulphide of lead, and arsenical rivrites. The Anzac-Welsh Syndicate finds its own finances and contemplate putting their winnings from the mine into war bonds. The reef, it is added, is hard, is in places 10 feet wide, and is almost vertical which is con-1 sidered to be an excellent sign. I,

Miss Hollier represented the Flying Corps and was accom- panied bv a flying machine. The infant daugh- ters of Mr. W. Meehan, Buarth, were got up as Italian organ grinders, with organ, and little Miss Phylis Dawkins, North-parade, represented an Indian girl with pretty effect. Indian rajahs hobnobbed with Japanese nobl^andChin^e mandarins, and Uncle Sam with Welsh-hatted I merched, and pierrots and clowns with soldiers and sailors, and representatives of the Allies. Charlie Chaplin, as a matter of course, figured largely iki the. carnival, being capitably re- sented by Miss Putt, Portland-road. A Knight of Old on horseback utfflsed the occasion to boom the advantages of Mr. Williams s boots and shoes. The tableaux, staged on trollies, 'were excellent. They were led^off by Mrs. Howard and Mrs. Liza Morgan, Portland-road, in a Victoria labled "Fisherman and his wife welcome their sons home from the war." A tableaux labelled "Washing Done Here While You Wait," with the washerwomen and oppli. ances at work, created great amusement. It I was followed by a "Dug Out" made by the wounded soldiers, and a group of it boys," and the Vrear wasi brought up by a piteturesqu tableaux of Britannia and her Allies appro- priate costume, with a lassie holdrng » dove in her hand as "Peace."

After parading the town the procession halted at the Town Hall where the Mayoress distri- buted the prizes. In the evening the Coliseum was so over- crowded to witness the performance by the Rheidol Ladies and Children's Choir that it wah decided to repeat the performance this (Thurs- day) evening. The Rev. R. J. Rees presided. The choirs were conducted by Messrs J. Arthur Jenkins and Tom Morgan, acc-mpanied by Mr Chas. H. Clements, F.R.C.O.* and by an orchestra under the direction of Mr. J. Edward Jones. The scenery was picturesquely arranged by Mr. W. H. Jones and was much admired, and the costumes were appropriate. In the operetta of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," capitably performed throughout, the leading parts were taken by the Misses Katie Griffiths, Lizzie Wright, Myfanwy Griffiths, L. Blodwen Jones, Maggie L. Lewis and Gwladys H. Harries, with dwarfs, fairies, train bearers, forest children, and court ladies. An artistic dance by Miss Hilda Teviotdale was loudly applauded. In an address from the chair, the Rev. R. J. Rees said, referring to the performance, that after all the great romance was the romance of doing good, and that romance was being enacted by R.S.M. Fear in organising the kindness of 1 heart of the people of Aberystwyth towards thei rbrave boys, in keeping open the lines of communication between them and their relatives and friends at home, and in showing in a prac- tical way that they were not forgotten. (Cheers.) R.S.M. Fear, who was cordially received, stated that the fund was opened in June, 1915, and the amount subscribed up to date was P,1,178 lis. Od. The number of men on the roll was 943, to whom parcels with letters were sent. He thought no other town in the kingdom had done better for its boys than Aberystwyth. The street collections that day amounted to C32 Is. 6d., and the total for the day, J2175. (Applause). Prizes for the highest collections were awarded to Miss Elsie Jones, Mrs Hard- ing, Miss Hughes, White Hart; Mrs Dawkins, Miss M. E. James, and Mrs. j. D. Edwards, Llanbadarn. In making a presentation to R.S.M. Fear, the Mayor read a letter from Major W. W. Laird, ¡ in command of the Cardigan Battery in Egypt, asking on behalf of the officers and men of the Battery, his Worship to present to R.S.M. Fear ja walking stick and a cheque for £ 8. "It is the desire of the Battery," added Major Laird, "that R.S.M. Fear should accept this small ex- pression of thanks in recognition of his kind- ness and good work in sending gifts of cigar- ettes, etc., to the Battery. The Battery has also expressed a desire that he should use the 8 in furthering the excellent work he is doing in connection with the Y.M.C.A., or similar object. T have had the honour of commanding the Battery since July last and would like to add my tribute to R.S.M. Fear's work and my thanks to him and to the people at home for their kindness. Words cannot express the appreciation with which the presents from home are received. Before closing may I add my expression of pride in the Cardigan Battery and my appreciation of the work they had done. With such men fighting for our country we have nothing to fear." (Cheers). The Mayor (continuing, said they all knew how constant R.S.M. Fear had been in his efforts on behF of our boys across the leas and how grateful they were for cigarettes and things.he had been able to send them week by week. The boys in Egypt had sent that walking stick and cheque in recognition of his services. He woujd value the stick, it was hoped, for many years, as an orritament a.nd. later on> ,a4 a help in old age, and it would always remind him of the donors. He hoped that Mr. Fear would receive further help to carry on the good work and that when the war ended he and those assoei- ated with him would have the satisfaction and pleasure of seeing the Y.M.C.A. memorial an accomplished fact. He (the Mayor) would like to send a message to our boys of the Battery congratulating them on their work which had merited such high praise by the Commandant, wishing them all good luck and a speedy re- turn to the welcome they would find in their old home at Aberystwyth. (The message* was approved with cheers). R.S.M. Fear suitably acknowledged the pre- I sentation and said the cheque would be given

LLANDYSSSUL.
LLANDYSSSUL. On Sunday evening, at Gwernllwyn Congre- gational Chapel, the Rev. D. Jones cor ducted a memorial service to Private John M Thomas, Ornant, Penrhiwllan. The service was opened by the Rev. E. J. Davies (C.M.), Capel Drin- dod, and was followed by a sermon by Mr. Jones, from 6th Ephesians, 12th verse. The rev. gentleman, in referring to the great war, remarked that there were two kinds of civiliza- tion-secular and spiritual. Germany was a country of advanced learning, but her teach- ings were far from the ideals laid down by Christ. The German Emperor had cultivated an ambition to rule the whole world, and when the world would not accept his rule he plunged it into a bloody war, trampling over all hws of humanity and morality. He (Mr. Jones) did not agree with those people who constantly found fault with our Parliamentary leaders. They might be at fault, but who could throw a stone at them? Even the Church of Christ was to be blamed. Had the Church done its duty th3 world would not be to-day in its present state. Monmouthshire miners advo- cated peace and denounced conscrintion, but yet when they had a trifling dispute the cU, day and could not get their own way they Ll(, on strike. They could not go any further. That was nothing but another form of conscription. Mr. Jones referred to the deceased soldier as one of tme many brave boys from the district whose loss would be keenly felt in the church and district who had laid down their lives in fighting for the highest ideals of life. ribe Dead March was played by Miss May Jones, Pwllcornol. On the commuunion table a bouquet of white lilies had been placed by Mr and Mrs. Timothy Jones, of Swansea, in memory of the fallen hero. There are several complaints in town of dogs being a nuisance during the night. One can- not but wonder why, with foodstuffs so scarce, should not the number of dogs be decreased, or perhaps it is that the canine serenaders are growsing over war rations! On Wednesday a successful sale and bazaar were held in aid of the Farmers' Red Cross and substantial sums were realised. Miss James, the newly-appointed district nurse, commenced her duties on Tuesday. It is to be hoped that Miss James and the Com- mittee will receive the hearty support of the whole district. A district nurse is a public boon in a thickly-populated rural district like Rhydlewis where the nearest medical aid is several miles distant. On Wednesday evening Llangeler Dramatic Society gave an excellent performance of the well-known drama, "Y Ferch o Gefn Ydfa,w in aid of the local sailors and soldiers' welfare fund. This Society, made up of purely rural talent, deserve praise for their histrionic per- formance. On Saturday a successful jumble sale was held in a field lent by Lieut. Lewes, Llys- lliewydd. The proceeds, were in) aid of the district nursing fund. Afettut £120 was realised, success being in no small measure due to the organisers; (Dr. Jenkins, Henllan, and Mr. Owen Llewellyn, Drefach).

PERMITS FOR THE PURCHASE OF SUGAR JL under the Sugar (Domestic Pre- serving) Order, 1918, have effect as from Saturday, 8th mst. In view of the fact that the recent spell of fine weather is likely to result in early ripening of fruit crops, it has been decided that in any case where the special supplies of sugar that are being issued have not been received by a re- tailer, and where the withholding of supplies would result in fruit being wasted, he may honour these permits out of his ordinary stocks, as far as these are. available, and a General Licence to this effect is now being issued. This privilege should however, be used only by those permit holders who are in immediate need of eugar in order to avoid loss of fruit. DIVISIONAL COMMISSIONER.

Following on the remarks of last week anent the Excess Profits Duty, having established a correct pre-war standard to include the B200 allowance it next becomes necessary to see that the full capital allowances are secured. In the case of a sole proprietor oc partnership (not a company) the allowance for increased cajfital is raised by the Finance Act. 1917. from 7 per cent, to 11 per cent, for any accounting period ended after 31st December, 1916. Another valuable allowance given by the same Act is that where the pre- war standard does not exceed 2500 and tha profits now. after adjustment, are less thaia £ 2,000 an amount equal to one-fifth of the difference between the present profits and F,2,000 shall be allowed in addition. What is not, however, generally known is that if u* any year the profit, after adjustment by the allowances, falls short of the pre-war stand* ard (including the £200) that the deficiency can be carried forward. 1, NEXT WEEK.-Examples of adjustment of various incomes."Tax Expert Cambriai*- News," Aberystwyth.

1- (Continued from previous column.) as a first donation to the Y.M.C.A. memorial at Aberystwyth, which would be for the boys on their return a centre where that was right, innocent, and pleasureable, instructive, and in- spiring would be found associated with relig- ion. A great, noble, Y.M.C.A. was what he desired to see established at Aberystwyth as the town's war memorial to the men who had gone out in their stead to face death, some who had fallen or been wounded or had been taken prisoners. The town needed such an institu- ton in days gone by. It would need it much more in days to come, and he could think of no more worthy war memorial. He hoped a start would soon be made in procuring a site from the Corporation. (Applause). On the proposition of the Chairman, the Mayor and Mayoress were thanked for -attend- ing, and on his invitation We audience gave a great cheer to Our boys across the seas." I
