Grow More Vegetables this Year. jp§ | "With all foods advancing in price, it is recom- IJajij mended that greater attention be paid to the culti- fiflfe vation of vegetables. Most vegetables are, with a little care and attention, very easy to grow, and I c as long as the seeds are FRESH and of good germinating quality, the few pence-worth of seeds usually required to sow a garden is well worth the outlay when compared with the value of vegetables grown.

BLOOD-GUILT.
In a Cardiff newspaper recently, the member for West Carmarthen was referred to as Sir John Hinds." Coming events? Will Carmarthen be made a garrison town? That is the question which has been looming largely in the public mind lately. Troops have been billeted in the town since October last, and since that timo Carmarthen has commended itself in many ways as an ideal centre for military training. On Sunday last about 550 of the Royal Field Artillery arrived in the borough for a fortnight's training,—a con- siderable augmentation of the number of troops already accommodated in the town. Everything points to the belief that Carmarthen is held in high favour by the military authorities, and we suggest that the Town Council should take steps with a view to getting the ancient borough recognised as a garrison town, as it was some years ago. To take time by the forelock would not be amiss in such a matter as this. There seems to be considerable dissatisfaction over an anomaly which has been recently created in regard to the amount paid for billeting soldiers in private houses in Carmarthen. Last week the authorities reduced the sum allowed for billeting members of the 4th Battalion Welsh Regiment from tfil 5s. 7sd. per head per week to 17s. 6d., but, it appears, no such reduction has been effected in regard to the housing of the Yeomanry. The fol- lowing letter which we have received speaks for itself, viz.:— The action of the military authorities in re- ducing the amount for billeting the 4th Welsh from 1£1 3s. 7gd. per head per week to 17s. 6d. and in 2 continuing to pay £1 3s. 7d, in respect of the Yeo- manry, passes all comprehension. Not only has such a one-sided arrangement created a stupid anomaly which has aroused grave dissatisfaction among the affected householders, but the members of the 4th Welsh are unjustly penalised by it in oomparison with their more fortunate comrades of the Yeomanry. There are many houses in Carmar- then where members of the 4th Welsh and the Yeomanry are billeted together, and as a typical instance of the hardship arising out of this invidious treatment by the military authorities in making a distinction between the two units, I may be allowed to point out what is happening at the present time in one particular house. Since the amount for bil- leting was reduced, the members of the 4th Welsh at this house have been placed on reduced fare compared with what they previously received, whilst the members of the Yeomanry at this house are given superior food in due proportion with the sum of £1 3s. 7 £ d. paid in respect of them. And as if to emphasise the disparity made between these soldiers living under the same roof, the members of the 4th Welsh are placed at a table separate from those of the Yeomanry—as if they were of an in- ferior status. This is a state of things which should not be tolerated under any circumstances, and for the honour of the service calls for imme- liate remedy.—I am, yours, &c.. D." "The Truce and the Welsh Church" is the sub- ject of an illuminating article -by Mr. Ralph Snow- den in the "British Review." The position is so imperfectly understood in many quarters that it is quite refreshing to come upon an article which shows such an intimate knowledge of the facts. Mr. Snowden burks no awkward points, but faces them with candour. He admits that in this case a cessa- tion of domestic controversy involved a very difficult problem," but he has no difficulty in showing that when the House of Commons, at the instance of the Government, rejected the'Lords' amendment in the Suspensory Bill, placing the Welsh Church Act in the same position as the Irish Act, "the truce was violated at its inception." Nonconformists recognised the hard case of the Church, but it was the Duke of Devonshire's Bill which "crystalised the position" and afforded the Government "an opportunity of doing the straight thing, and so -far as possible making amends for their failure to do it in the first instance." Mr. Snowden explains the provisions of the Government Postponement Bill; and, commenting upon the opposition it evoked, says it was strange to see the Government, armed with vast exceptional powers for the prosecution of the war, held up from giving effect to the just. and admitted bond by a little irreconcilable clique of Mr. Asquith's 'most faithful supporters. He hopes, however, that by the time Parliament meets again better thoughts will prevail and the Bill pass the Commons without further indecent murmur- ings." We trust that Mr. Snowderi's hope may be realised in spite of the bellicose attitude of the Welsh members. So the Welsh Radical members will still protest. At their meeting held at Llandrindod Wells last week, after a two hours' private discussion, they passed a resolution, with apparently only one dissen- tient, declaring that whilst prepared at the end of the war to deal with any financial loss occasioned to the Church by reason of the war," they declined to proceed further with the discussion of the Welsh Church Act Postponement Bill, for which, they affirmed. there is no present necessity, which provokes acute controversy at a time of political truce." and which if passed will nullify the opera- tion of the Parliament Act. This description of the effect of the Bill is, of course, the merest travesty of the actual facts. The Government have admitted the necessity for their Bill; and, so far from it provok- ing controversy, the measure only gives effect to the political truce which was wantonly broken by the passing of the Act without an adequate Suspensory Bill. It will no more nullify the operation of the Parliament Act than the suspension of the Irish Home Rule Act has done, and even the most ardent Home Ruler has cheerfully accepted the Govern- ment position on the Irish question. The faot of the matter is that the Welsh Radicals have found out how thoroughly unpopular the Welsh Church Act is in the country, and they are nervous lest anything should be done which may prevent them from reaping the fruits of their ill-gotten victory. They have no sense of justice, much less of gene- rosity, but it may be hoped that the Government will not yield to their unscrupulous pressure. People who are very confident that peace will be signed in Berlin before the year 1915 has seen its last days are finding some confirmation for their hopes in the reluctance shown by the Government to make any announcement with respect to the General Election. It is quite possible that Mr. Asquith has more to think about than to satisfy the curiosity of zealous party men, but all the same it is regarded as curious that no statement has yet been made as to whether there Is to be an election this year, and if so, whether it is to take place under the customary conditions. The country as a whole does not want to see Parliament dissolve while the war is in pro- gress, but it is not the country but the Parliament Act which has to be studied in this connection. Under the terms of the Act, the lifetime of Parlia- ment must cease thi year, and the question is as to whether the law is to hold good or undergo amend- ment, so that the General Election may be post- poned for another twelve months. It is rumoured that it is owing to this state of uncertainty that numerous party officials and workers througLout the country have refrained from undertaking military service, but this is probably an exaggeration. What is true is, however, that the country would feel re- assured if the Prime Minister could make a definite pronouncement on the subject, indicating that there would be no revival of politics in the constituencies during the period of the war. Further attempts will be made to elicit information on the subject when Parliament re-assembles later on in the month. A correspondent sends us the following essay on Man, alleged to have been written by a schoolboy:- A man consists of a head, a neck, a body, two hands, and two feet. The head is on the top and has hair on it sometimes, and if not, sometimes a wig. Tne head is useful to think with and to hold a hat. In the head there is sometimes a brain, but there are heads, especially female ones, without a brain. In the head there are two holes with an eye in each by means of which man sleeps, weeps, and looks about. The woman also uses them to wink with. Underneath the eyes are the nose, by means of which a man smells things and means of which his wife can pull him. It is also useful to blow when there is a cold and for holding spectacles. no-e Js llke a street, sometimes short and some- times long, sometimes straight, and sometimes crooked, sometimes clean and sometimes dirty, sometimes full and sometimes empty. Oniv a woman can colour her nose red without drinking. The head has also two ears, one on each side. These are allowed to be pulled only in low grade schools, in barracks, and in married life. The ears are handy to whisper into, and women always repeat th3 things whispered unless they forget them. Beneath the nose is the mouth, for eating, laughing, kissing, yawning and snoring. Tnere is a tongue inside it useful for talking and for licking stamps. It is kept behind the teeth if there are any teeth. A man has decayed teeth only when he has his own. The artificial ones never ache. T. woman with fine teeth laughs a lot. The woman with ugly teeth when she laughs holds up her handkerchief to hide them. Below the head is a neck used to hold a collar on, and sometimes for hanging a man by. Lower down is tho body, with the back and shoulders behind and the ribs in front in order to make it look like the picture on the school wall. Hands are hung to the trunk in order to be generally useful and speoiaUy so for punching. Underneath are feet for walking, dancing, and kicking. There are five toes on each unless a dog has bitten some off. Now a man, see! has many parts which, excepting his corns, are all useful. It anybody should be gratified at the success of the military sports at Carmarthen it should be Alderman Wm. Evans, High. Sheriff for the borough, who with Mr. Wm. Davies, chemist, was instrumental in forcing the scheme through (not without some opposition); and in collecting a lar-e sum towards the expenses. A little more of this spirit would do a lot of good to Carmarthen. Mr. D. E. Stevens, Trawsmawr, heard a chiff- chaff in Trevaughan woods on Easter Monday. Dr. cwis Williams, of Ferryside, saw several before, but did not hear their note. Salmon ,fishing is excellent in the Towy, and, we understand, that no less than 2501bs. of splen-did fish was on the slab with Mr. Wm. Evans, Carmarthen, last Friday. BLOOD-GUILT.
