WELSH NATIONAL SHOW INTITIATION TO PIORTMAlDOC, A large attendance of townspeople and of agricultmrisrts, drawn from Carnarvon- shire and Merionethshire, was held on Fri- day afternoon at Portrrttadoc to consider the advisability of gdvoarg an invitation to the Welsh National Ajgriculturall Society to hold next year's show at Portmadoc. The meet- ing was promoted by the Portmadoc Im- provernents Assmiation, and was convened 'by Mr W. Morris Jones, chairman of the Potftimadoo Urban Council, on behalf of tflie townspeople, and Mr Henry Roberts, Pen- syflog, on behalf of the farmers. C.\lr Roberts was voted to tihe chan Mr Llsw. Davies, secretary to the Portmadoc I Improvements Association, explained that J..lrE!e'nry Roberts had ktndliy agreed to let the Nia-tionaL Society have the free use of tha Traeth as a show ground in the event of tihe show cwaruing to Portmadoc—'(ap- plause).—and those who knew the needs of the National Society declared that a more suitable ground could not be had. Mr Charles L. Conacher, traffic manager of the Cambrian Railway Company, had been com- muTiifated with, and he wrote that he would be pieased to make the necessary arrange- ments for dealing witih the show if it came to Portmadoc, and every possible facility would be afforded by the company. The next and most important element was the question of subscription. A total of from £ 150 to J32C0 would have to be subscribed locailly to tiie funds of the Aaaociation. If tliia money was forthcoming1 he (Mr Daviee) did not see b aft that Portmadoc would stand as good a chance as any other claim- artb for the honour (hear, bear)- Tihe show was a national one. It had been thrice in Aberystwyth or Mid-Wales and once in LLanelly or South Wales. It waa now the turn of North Wales. It was only by holding the show in a central place in North Wales that the society could hope to anlist the active siupport a.nd co-operation of North Walians (hear, hear). He had had a conversation with Mr R. M. Greaves, ot Rem, and he wrote that he would be glad to see the slhow at Portmadoc, and that he would be happy to subscribe 10 to tihe local fund in the event of its coming (cheers). Mr W. Morris Jones moved that a hearty invitation should be extended. Mr Wm, Jonas. Plasylbryn, Iilanbedr, a leading Mer- J-onertihgihiirei a^ricultitrist^ seoondsd. Mr Charles E. Rreese, Mr J. R. Owen, the Rev J. E. Williams (vicar of Portmadoc), and others supported tihe proposition, wh ich v.a,s carried unanimously and with en- thusiaam. 'Arrangements far a canvass for promises ware made, and promasee totalling R70 were made at the close of the meeting.

ANGLESEY PROPERTY SALE PORTION OF THE BARON HILL ES- TATE UNDER THE HAMMER. On Friday afternoon, at the Llangefni Town Hall, Messrs Dew and Son, of Bangor, held an important property sale. The sale was of particular interest, to the town of Llangefni, inasmuch as the property offer2d comprised nearly 200 private and business premises situated in that town. The nro perty formed part of the Baron gill Estate, and comprised, in addition to the town lots a number of well-known farms in the neigh- bourhood representing about 800 acres. The sale attracted an exceptionally numerous gathering of tenants, agriculturists, and pro- fessional men. Mr Dew, who was accom- panied by Messrs J. Rice Roberta and Laur- ie, solicitors to the vendor, announced that out of 143 lots catalogued 23 had been dis- posed of by private treaty to tenants or lessees, which, he thought, abundantly proved that Sir Richard Williams Bulkeley was most anxious that as many lots as pos- sible should pass into the hands of the ten- ants and lessees. It was also stated that the vendor was prepared, if desired, to allow up to two-thirds of the purchase money for five years, the rate of interest to be 4 per cent. on land, and 4 per cent. on buildings. Part of Nantnewydd Farm, comprising 30a. 4p., which was the first lot offered to competition, elicited an opening bid of £.950, and was eventually purchased by Mr A. J. Williams (chairman of the Llangefni Urban Council) for £1300. Two other portions of the same farm, one measuring lla. 3r. 10p., and the other lla. 2r. 28p., were knocked down to Mr Lewis Edwards (Glanhwfa Road, Llangefni) and Mr W. Williams (Caerbwl) for JE550 and L570 respectively. Two re- maining portions were withdrawn at JB1400. Lledwigan, a well-known farm, which a few years ago was in the occupation of the North Wales University College, as an cultural school, was in the fir&t instance offered in one lot, consisting of 357 cres, but as such it was withdrawn at £ 13.750. Offered in separate lots the largest of them including the farmhouse and measuring 191 acres, was withdrawn at L4700. and the re- maining portions were disposed of to Air Smyrna Jones, who gave E975 for 16 t-cres; Mr W. Roberts (Tvddyn Nowell, Tycros), L,360 for 15a. 3r.; and Owen Jones (Carrog) B1985 for 34 acres. Mr Hugh Edwards tie tenant, bought one part of Llanfawr Farm, 32a. 2r. 10p., for £ 1200; another portion, containing the house and land, measuring 131 acres, having previously be.e.n acquired by him by private treaty. Later Mr Ed- warda obtained two further portions of the same farm for £rJ7S, two more were sold to Mr H. T. Owen (Llangefni) for j3555. The freehold farm of Pandy, 24a. 14p., was with- drawn at £ 800, and thai of Penynant, 33a. lr. 26p., at L15W, it being announced that the farm of Penlan, 81 acres, had been pri- vately disposed of. There was little demand for properties situated with the town. S'x small cottages in Church Terrace were sold to Mr Owen Williams for L3W, but eleven < ther houses in the same terrace had to be withdrawn without any offer being made. The old house known as Plas was bought by Mr H. T. Owen for £ 300, and a building site known as Plas buildings and gardens, was acquired by Mr R. H. Williams for Most of the lots consisted of build- in leases, but in altmost every instance ] they had to be withdrawn owing either to the smallness of the offer or to the entire absence of an offer. There were, however, a few isolated exceptions, as for instance the gronnd rent of the North and South. Wales Bank.and-London House, bought by '.he bank for £ 200. Messrs Roberts and Laurie were bidders for the premises in which their office? are situated, and their failure to reach the reserve provoked much good humoured' merriment. | < ••

LLANDUDNO AUTUMN CONCEPTS The above will 'commence on Monday, and will be continued twice daily until the end of October. The committee "have made extensive arrangements, and incurred heavy (financial responsibilities in order to afford amusement to visitor's who prolong their *ta^ in the town. lit is to be hoped that, the residents will not be stow to appreciate the committee's efforts on 'their behalf, ana that they will support the enterprise. Aan, pie travelling facilities have been arranged, Cheap combined "concert and tram tickets will be issued each week day 'evening from ■Golwyn Bay and Rhos. A speciaj rail motor will leave Oolwyn 'Bay each evening at 7.10, and will call at Mochdre, Llandudno Junction, and Deganwyj and arrives at Llan- dudno at 7.32 p.m. In addition late trains willi depart on Wednesdays and Saturdays for all stations to Bangor and Rhyl (except Llysfaen). Trains will leave for Bangor at 10.15 p.m., and for Rhyl at 10.35 p.m. It will thus be noticed 'that both the London and North-Western Railway Company, as well as the Light Railway Company are co- operating with the committee with a view of making the movement a success. The Orchestra will be conducted by Mr Walter Haigh, and Mr Harry Freeman, who has been so highly appreciated during the past summer season, wiil 1 be the leader. Other principals of the Pier Company's or- chestra are remaining, and there wil be a strength of 20 performers.. Mr Emlyn Davies, the distinguished Welsh baritone, who will sing each evening during the first week of the autumn series, has won the highest opinions in the press in recent years. He has a voice of splendid range and power and a thoroughly good style. fr James Chiloolbt, the humorist, will ap- (pear also each evelliling from Mionday to Fri- day inclusive. fFTe gained much celebrity as the jester with Mr Groome's "King's Mus- iketeers," and since he left that combination he has eungi in many parfcsi of the country wiitih 'great success. He is a favourite en- tertainer at the reunions of the London clubs, such as the Savage Cilub, the R*yal Automolbile altub, and the London Rowing Club. His repertoire is remarkably varied, and his humour, never forced or vulgar, Is sure to be appreciated by such audiences as he will meet at the Llandudno Pavilion. Mirs 'Ord Charter, a loca.1 soprano, who will sing at the concerts on Thursday and Fri- day, in the first week of the autumn season, is a singer of great power and promise. She had carefully retrained from oversingin.g, and has now a thoroughly matured voice. For several years she was a pupil of Dr Roland Rogers.

TARIFF TRIPPERS MORE ANGLESEY MEN VISIT GERMANY. A second deputation from Anglesey to Germany left Holyhead on Saturday night. It included Mr R. Mon Williams, Messrs Wild, Kleiser (junior), and McKay. Mr Kleiser. who is of German stock, will act as interpreter. The party in all numbered about sixty, the men hailing from London, Carnarvonshire (12), Ashton-under-Lyme, North-West Manchester, and Anglesey. They will be awav for about a fortnight. In the course of a conversation with a "Herald" representative. Mr R. O. Roberts, Conservative candidate for Anglesey at the last election, said that he would before long be arranging a third deputation, and h? would endeavour then to include mOO from the agricultural districts of Anglesey. He,) was also anxious to have the "great meeting" held as soon as possible.

ST. PAUL'S CHURCH, COLWYN BAY LAYmNG FOUNDATION STONE OF NEW TOWER. On Thuxoday afternoon the foundation stone of the new tower of St. Plaul's Church, Colwyn Bay, was laid'. The church was built some 23 years ago. The tower will bit nearly 9Gtft. high, with eight belfry win- dows. A clock, which can be illuminated at night, will be shown on the four wail Is. The tower will cost £,3409, exclusive of clock, hells, architect's fees, and incidental ex- penses, and £ 200 more are needed to meet the lialbiliities incurred. Mr John Douglas, of Chester, is the architect, and Messrs H. A. Clegg and Sons are the builders. prior to the ceremony a service was held in the church. Canon Ejugh Roberts, the vicar, delivered an address, and Mr Brock, the senior member of the church, who was presented with a silver trowel and a malllet, subsequently lajid the foundation-stone.

STAGGERING THE VICAR. An amusing Christening incident. The following incident took place recently in the Parish Church of a well known Lan- cashire town, where a mother had taken htr baby to be christened. What name do you select for the child?" asked the Vicar. "Venos," was the anwser. "Venus!" But this is not a suitable name, 'it is the name of an ancient 2°cldess, the Vicar argued. I I know nothing about ancient goddesses, but I want my little girl christened Venos," said the mother. Why do you select Venos?" was then asked. "Because her life was saved by Veno's Lightning Cough Core." And the mother got her own way.

BAPTISM OF MISS LLOYD GEORGE GHANiOHLILOIR OF THE EXCHEQUER JOURNEYS TO LONDON. I There was a crowded congregation at ibertea Disciples' Church, Criccdeth, on Sun- day night, when five young people were ad- i mitted into membership -by baptism by im- mersion. The opening part of tihe service con- du-cted-by Mr Williams, and the Scriptujral geoson was read by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whose elder daughter, Miss 01- wen. was among the candidates. The rite of baptiisim was administered by Mr Richard Lloyd, Mr Lloyd George's uncle, who has boon joint pastor of Benaa with Mr Wm. Williams for fifty-two years. Mr Lloyd, in the course of an impressive land eloquent address, remarked thait the five candidates were direct descendants of the founders of the church at Oricoietih, •ver a hundred years ago. It was an e<n- tMurtatgiing fact to see 00 many voting peo- ple coming forward to puiblicly profess their faith in these days, when so mulch was said aibout the neglect of religious worship by the rising generation. Mr and Sirs Lloyd George and family left fciiiccieth, on Monday for London, going a day earlier than ait first arranged, aiccom- ipanied by Sir Robert Chalmers, chairman of the Board of Inland Revenue. They made the journey to Llandudno Junction by motor.

HOME RULE ALL ROUND THE OBJECTIONS. DISCUSSED BY MR E. T. JOHN. At a public meeting at Llangefni on Friday night, at which Mr Ellis J. Griffith, M.P., declared in favour of Home Rule all round, Mr Edward T. John, who the previous day had secured the endorse- ment of that policy by the County Liberal I Association, replied to' objections raised elsewhere; to the scheme. These objections, he said, were, first, that the scheme was separatist in character; secondly, that four Parliaments with a. Senate constituted a more elaborate Parlia- mentary machinery than was needed; and thirdly, that Wales was too diminutive and Im its interests not of sufficient importance to require a separate chamber. The separat- ist argument was based entirely upon mis- t apprehension, for the supervision of the national chambers by the Imperial Senate, in which each nation would be represented in proportion to its numerical strength, ensured the retention of the unity of the whole absolutely unimpaired.

ADVANTAGE TO SOCIAL REFORM. With regard to the second point, the multiplicity of parliaments, those who urged tlil.: overlooked the whole trend of legis- lative activity. Though they might not he Socialists both parties vied in their eager- ness to appear at any rate as champions of social reform. The attitude of the State towards commercial enterprise and eco- nomic development had greatly changed- perhaps even more so in other countries than in Great Britain. But we could not afford to be left behind. At Westminster members were too often simply marking time. In the national legislative chambers, however, they would find their hands full of urgent and useful work-work that would tend not to impoverish the rich but to enrich the whole people, for there were 0, immense possibilities of economic develop- ment in these assemblies. Dealing with the third objection, the relative smallness of the Principality, he would say in the first placfl that numbers and size' were not everv- thing, that in Wales national individuality wa-5 as strongly marked and as strenuously maintained as it was in either Ireland or Scotland, and that under conditions that made it vastly more difficult. Norway, with a population of only some 500,000 greater r than that of Wales, had demanded and secured complete indeipendence. The population of Denmark and of Greece were ii )ij much greater. IRELAND'S TRADE. Ii might possibly be argued that Wales would suffer some advantage by being less intimately allied with the sister kingdom of England. He would ask them not to ac- cept that account of matters without ex- amination. Since the figures for Ireland hal been given separately the startling discovery had been made that the external trade of Ireland was greater per head of the population than that of the United Kingdom as a whole. The figures were:- Ireland, £27 10s 2d per head of the popu- lation; United Kingdom, JB20 5s Id. Ex- cept in the case of Holland, Belgium, Switzerland, and New Zealand—all small countries enjoying self-government,—the external trade of Ireland was now greater iii proportion to population than that of any country in the world. In the five years 1904-9 it had gone up 20 per cent., from LI0,4,500,000 to £ 125,600,000. The "Eco- nomist" for last Saturday had rightly said that the very knowledge of these figures h"d literally infused a new spirit of encour- agement and hope into the mind of everv- body who is concerned for the future of Ireland. He repudiated entirely the description of the Principality as "poor little Wales." Th< immense coal, iron, and steel in- dustries of Glamorgan and Monmouthshire, together with the quite substantial quarry- ing industries of North Wales, employed so large a proportion of rhe entire popula- tior that Wales would probably make a very admirable show per head if compared with England itself. The lesson taught by these facts and figures was that- it was the small countries enjoying self-government which were clearlv the most productive. Mr Ellis J. Griffith, M.P., dealing inci- dentally with the question in the course of Ð!1 address on general politics, emphatically declared in favour of Federal Home Rule, adding that he did not see how any 'Government could give Home Rule to Ireland without giving equal power to England, Scotland, and Wales. PROMPT ACTION NECESSARY. Interviewed on Saturday, Mr John said lie) was exceedingly gratified with the re- ception accorded his proposals by the Anglesey Liberal Association. He was hopeful that fche Liberal Associations of Wales generally would follow the excellent example set them by Anglesey. "Clearly the success of the movement depends in the first place upon the degree to which the prcposals find favour with Welsh Liberalism generally. Prompt action I regard as ex- ceedingly desirable. The signatories to the Scotch declaration met on Friday, and they have- already arranged a most vigorous autumn campaign in Scotland. I hope that t't: Welsh members will see that the equally valid claims of the Principality are nou overlooked. In consequence of the constitutional crisis now existing, the time seems to me most opportune for reconsider- ing our legislative arrangements generally, and on this ground I claim that the demand already put forward for Scotland (and which will, I hope, be also advanced on behalf of Wales) simplifies rather than complicates the situation.

GERMANY'S UNEMPLOYED HOW THE ANGLESEY DEPUTATION OBTAINED INFORMATION. (To the Editor of the "Herald"). Sir,—Permit me a little space to answer Hn last letter of Mr Featherstone. He has made an attempt to explain why the offcial visits to the Labour Bureaux werel made in the afternoon. We went to Ger- many and we visited Labour Bureaux ac- cording to Mr Featherstone, to collect statistical information. I thought that the chief object of the whole tour was to afford the delegates an opportunity of "seeing" things for themselves. Could we not have secured the total statistical information we obtained by expending a few shillings? Why then, if this was the object of the tour, was 212 10s per head spent? But, I am sure, even the promoters of these trips will agretl with me that it was to "see" we went and not to "hear" or to "read." Would it not have impressed the majority of the delegates mo.re to have seten 500 un- employed than to hear of 6000 ? Is it not a fact, Mr Featherstone, that, whenever statistics concerning Labour Bureaux were read out to the rest of the delegates, I asked a certain question, viz. "Were these fD-Cts and figures given from books or from memory?" and that the answer invariably was: "From memory"? Very useful, I am sure, these; facts and figures (including the per centage increases in cost of living and wages, etc.), elicited from officials and given from memory. Mr Gower's account of the Berlin Labour Bureaux fiasco tallies with mine. I did not sav that Mr Vogel asked the unofficial de- putation to read out their report. He did not, but some of the Tariff Reformers did. Mr Vogel, however, said it was not necels- sai\ (after seeing the notes in Mr I Gcwer's book). I have so often alluded to the unfairness of the figures in regard to cost of living and wages during the last ten years, that I feel I am wasting time in sayiing what I have already said so often. The period should have been (as I pointed out to tlu deputaton publicly) two or three years. Lastly. let me assure Air Featherstone, that although, still a Free Trader, I do not for a moment sav that this country is a paradise for working men. Far from it., and with any attempt to improve the con- ditions of the working men of the country I am in full sympathy. But what I say is that neither is Germany a paradise for working men. Very far from ik-Y ou-rs, etc.. J. M. HUGHES.

WONDERS OF THE WORLD ] What are the wonders of the world' There was a time when anyone would have I icplied to this question by naming' the seven wonderful- works of art of the An- cients, of which now all have perished save only the Great Pyramids; but the world may now welll boast of not only seven but. a thousand wonders. It is, however, only given to the few to travel, and of the few no one man, or woman has seen all the wonderful things that are .depicted in a new publication entitled "The Wonders of the World the Marvels of Nature and Man ias they exist to-day," the first sevenpièlnny fortnightly part of which is to be issued on Tuesday nelrt by Messrs Euutchinson and Co. Let us describe at random a few of the pictures. At Boro-Bodoer in Java there is a temple three miles long. The discovery of this ex- traordinary building reads Üke a, romance. Up to the beginning of the nineteenth cen- ttjuiry tihe temple was entirely overgrown with jungi'e and long grass, was known even in the neighbouring villages only as a hill, and jt was only by accident that a temple of gigantic proportions, decorated with exqui- site carving, was displayed. A PAGODA THAT ROCKS WITH THE WIND This 'boulder stands on the .very backbone ■Of the lofty Kelasa HiE's, Burma. The tem- ple is called Sampan, or Boat. Pagoda, on account of the shape of the rocking-stone upon which it is built. At Tull'e, in the State of Oaxaca, Mexico, there is a tree 154 feet in circumference ilt, is a cypress and the biggest, tree in the world. Among the most remarkable pic- tures in the book are photographs 'both of a cyclone and tidal wave. The difficulty of obtaining such pictures will be readily rea,lised when one rcmemberg. the terriMe havoc wrought by both phenomena, and that there is no esioape ifor anyone or thing that oome within their ren:oh. A very won- derful sight must be the Rocking Stone, at Tandil, Argentina. Remarka,ble as are the Niaigara, Falls, they are only half as wide and hailf as deep a,s the great Victoria Falls in the Zambesi River, Iby far the largest falls in the world. The book contains a very beautiful photograph of this South African wonder.

MENAI BRIDGE PETTY SESSIONS THREE POACHERS FINED. Monday, before Mr Bulkeley Price and other magistrates The license of the Black Horse, Pentraeth, was, on the axplication of Mr Pentir Wil- liams, Bangor, temporarily transferred from J. W. Pritchard to Joseph Henry Thorpe, who is a workman employed an the Menai Suspension Bridge. William Davies, Kyffin Square, Bansjor, and WiHiam Williams, of Menai Bridge were summoned for poaching. 'P.C. W. Jones testified that he saw the defendants entering the road from a field in the vicinity of the ,M.enai Bridge Gasworks. He noticed that Davies's coat was bulging out, so he re- quested him to open his coat, and a net 85 yards in length was brought out. Davies explained that he had been hiding it for somebody on the seashore, and was then re- turning it to the owner.—Superintendent Jones said that. thero were 29 previous con- victions against Davies for violating the game laws. The other defendant had a'so been previously convicted. Davies was fined JB2 and costs, and Williams 21 and costs. A similar charge was preferred against Hugh Hughes, Cross Keys, Brynsiencyn. P.C. Davenport said that he saw the defen- dant emerging from some preserved land. A net and a rabbit were found. concealed upon him. The defendant, who denied the offence, was fined £1 and costs, or in de- fault one month's imprisonment. When leaving the box Hughes said "that he was no good at poaching now." For neglecting to send her child to school regularly, Ann Hughes, Fron Goch, Llanfair P.G., was fined 2s 6d (including costs). There were simi'ar summonses against Owen Evans, Maenafon, Llanfair P.G.. and Robert Evans, of Druid Road, Menai Bridge, but they were adjourned for a month to give the defendant* an opportunity to reform.

CARNARVON HARBOUR TRUST OBJECTION TO SMELTING* WORKS. THEY MIGHT KEEP VISITORS AWAY. The mouthy meeting of the Trust was held on Tuesday, Mr J. Issard Davies (chairman) presidil ng.

Bow en Jones (surveyor) and H. Owen (clerk). The Chairman said that before proceeding with the ordinlary business of the board he had a word of explanation to make. At the last meeiai'.ng (pf the Trust Altr Trevor BiUighes (the squire of Coedhelen) invited the members of the board to luncheon at Coodheilen on the occasion of his birthday. y Mr HuglHes now found that it was impos- sible to ma!ke the necessary arrangements to entertain the trustees, as he intended, and ihe regretted very much that he had to defer it for a slhrort time. Mf RUgih had sug- gested that All Saints' Day would be very appropriate for the function, and he (Mr iDavies) tlhooght it would, having regard to flHhe character and dignity of the Trust ((laughter!. The Chairman stated tlhlat since the last, meeting a portrait of the late chairman (Mr H. Cleigig) had been hung up in the rootm. It had been presented by Mre Clegg, ana zll they all appreciated her kindness. A resolution was adopted thanlking Airs Clegg for the portrait. A letter was read from Air David Wil- liams, Ijlanddwyn, informing the Trust than lie had successfully passed the Trinity ex- amination, a.nd he hoped to obtain his cer- tificate shortly. The Town Clerk wrote on behalf of the Council accepting the terms of the Trust in regard to 1'and at Abermenai for the erec- tion of a cholera hospital. The Works Committee reported having re- ceived a letter from Mr C'. Wawn, a member of the Trust, who now resided at Dlarling- rton, with referenjee to a proposal to erect smelting woriks at Carniarvon. The com- mittee resolved tlhalt the letter be acknow- lediged, and1 that Mr Wlawn be informed that there was no probability of the works bein eteoted in the immediate vicinity of the town.1—The Ohlairman explained that Air Wawn deprecated the erection of smelting works, which, he thought, would have an injurious offset on vegetation, and wou'd, probably, keep visitors away from the town. —Air J. R Pritchard: I hope that that is not the opinion of the Trust.—The Chair man said that twenty-five acres were re- quired for the proposed works and the Trust had not got that ouantitv of land.—Air J. R. Pritchard: Works could be erected near the town, and I hope that it will nrt go out that we are against the proposal. Works of the "kind would be of muich mors benefit to the town than a HI the visitors we g-et.-The Chairman We say nothing about that. Alt the Woife 10000ittea" a letter was read from Air E. Parry with drawin g his ten- der for the erection of green heart piles on the ferry slip, and it was decided to accent the next lowest tender, that of Air Himgh Jones, amounting to P87 10s Th« Surveyor submitted plans of the ex- tension of the new eea. wall at. Balaclava, and it was resolved that the matter be de- i fTred pending the receipt of a remlv from the Board' of Trade respecting the foreshore boundary between the Trust and the railway company at Balaclava. Mr G. H. Humph re vs and Air TIoyd- Ro- berts were re-appointed auditors.

A# the result of the most careful scientific investigation by skilled chemists, the fact was established that the secret of perfect healing lay imprisoned in the saps and juices of certain rare peculiar herbs. The next problem to solve was that of extracting these potent saps, and, after some process of conserving and ing them, to place the resultant product in a convenient and naaJ" ketable form before the many sufferers who are afflicted skin affections.

GENERAL HOLIDAY AT LLANDUDNO I The first Wednesday m October has, for some years, been set aside at Llandudno as a general holiday. Twelve months ago, Cbl- wyn Bay, Rhyl, and other towns along the Ooiast acceded to the request of the radiway authorities to fix the same dlate for what has (baoame lknown as "Tihoe Tradesmen's Holi- day," but, far reasons into which we will not enter, Oolwyn Bay tradesmen detclined, this year, to co-operate, although asked qu do so. The dbjeot of having all the lead- ing towns along the coast to fix -upon the same day was to enalble the railway com- pany to offer better and cheaper travelling facilities. I The holiday announces the end of the season; that is, the preesuro of business, and the hurly-burly otf trade is at an end, for some months to come. iMany found re- chelation on tihie IGreaib Orme golf links. Others indulged in a sea angling coanpeti- ftion. iScores of youni, people cycled to where they could enjoy the rustic and beau- Iti scenery of the Gtwyllt Wialia. Not a ifew basked in the warm raddanJce of the sun on the summit of the Great Orme. Those thteit could afford the expense went for motor trips. Indeed', two full motor charabancs proceeded to Llangollen and Griccieth, Pwll- heli, etc., and another to the Marble Church. The Coaching Company had two coaches en- gaged for Bettwsycoed and cab proprietors igag,ed for Bettwsycoed and. cab proptietors did-, on the whoile, a fairly good day's busi- ness.
