Lloyd, for the plaintiffs, aaid that ddenJ:¡,nts had arranged for a party to be itered for at the Queen's Hotel, Rhyl, the biil 5r which came to :£26 10s. That was in October laet, and after repeated requests had Jeto made for defeindan<t6 in Decern- 4r beait £10, saying that they we,re making clearances, and would send on the balance, .ifiien action wa6 taken they paid into court -14 8s 9d, and the balance was in dispute. iMr McAJpine "add that the only matter in ifrute was £1 48, and that they claimed as ¡r commission in accordance with agreement. i was the custom with all tourist agencies to e their aeoountg once a quarter, when they Jete paid by the railway coaupanics. B»nk», a former manthgerets of the .JjjC'en'ii Hotel, was called, and she admitted that 4e had made a. miata-ke in the account in the tSt place, thnd that mineral watexe, which were .^ranged for in the inclusive charge peir hood -1I" dinner, had been chaxged for.

I THE QUESTION OF THE IIOUR:
THE QUESTION OF THE IIOUR: HOW TO RAISE CAPITAL FOR WOItg. 1 HQ SMALL HOLDINGS. Dr P.. A. YE It BURGH (Prisident of the Agricultural Organisation 6>cciorv_: IVesident of the Urban Co-opera- tive Banks Association, &c.). Many a likely man is at present do- barred from the advantages of tho new Small Holdings Act by a lack of working capital. Mr. Yerburgh, in a-clear and practical article, ex- plains the establishment and work- nig of Co-operative Banks for Coun- try People, whereby every penny o. the necessary money for Small rfold- iUgf; purposes may be easily, mutu- ally and safely raised, without any surrender of independence. Wliat are Credit Banks ? What are their objects and methods ? How are they eon- etitutcd, where did they originate, and is it possible to popularise them in this country P These and similar questions are likely 'to (•n.i'o ';rr,m the provision in the Government's Small Holdings Act empowering County OotmciU to promote the formation of and to assist such societies. It is only possible to fi'ive a cursory reply to such queries in a brief article, but (011 behalf of the Co-opera- tive Banks Movement, which has existed for several years past) with the object of in- forming the public of the useful character of these institutions and assisting in their es- tablishment, I will endeavour in a plain way to give a summary of their origin, purpose, wnstitution and principles, together with a list of those which are in active operation in England. THE ORIGIN OF THE MOVEMENT. Many social organisations which have proved of great benefit to the poorer classes have been brought into being in England end have afterwards been copied or adopted if. continental countries. Credit Banks, or, to give them their full title, People's Co- operative Banks, were, however, first formed in Germany about sixtv vearg ago and. hav- ing spread from there over the Continent, have now penetrated to such distant coun- tries as India and Canada. One notable po'iit about them is that whenever they have been suggested people have been found to say that they were not nc:j'ed, but after their establishment the ben'^ts they have conferred have been so obvious that they have bscome permanent institutions. It Germany, for example, the two types of Co- operative Banks, founded respectively by Raiffeisen and Schuke-Dclitzch, which in the early days of the Movement were looked up- on with indifference, have increased to more than 10,000 Societies, with an annual turn- over of considerably more than XICO,000.000. From that country they have spread to Italy, where the tmzati and Wollomberg Co-operative Banks are numbered by thous- ands, and they are-now firmly planted in France, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, and other countries. THE POOR MAN'S MONEYLENDER. Their object, to put it concisely, is to place within the reach of the poorer classes of the community by means of combination the advantages of monetary credit on fair terms which up to their advent had been the exclusive monopoly of its wealthier mem- bers. The advantages of legitimate credit i.e., credit for economic and productive pur- {loses, in the every-day business life of civi- ised communities are recognised ?s enorm- ous. By its means production is increased, exchange facilitated, improvement stimulat- ed, employment enlarged, and trade expand- ed. It is a truism to say that the trade of our country would not be a tithe of what it is were it not for the assistance of credit. But commerical credit is generally confined to those who have what are known as tan- gible forms of security to pledge with bank- ers and others. For those who are not for- tunate enough to be so provided, this source of credit does not exist, their sole resorts being the extortionate usurer, or the pawn- broker. CHEAP CREDIT FOR THE POOR. This is in itself a great hardship, for the small man can benefit proportionately by the use of credit as much or more than the big man. To the little trader who wants stock to sell at a profit, to the costermonger who requires a donkey, flowers, fruit, or fish, to the workman who cannot take on a job because he either does not possess the necessary tools or has had to pawn them, to the labourer who can make a profit by keep- ing pigs, a few sheep, or a cow, to the small holder who requires seed and manure, to the widow who wishes to furnish lodgings or to buy a sewing-machine, loans of money at low rates of interest are the first necessity. And these are but types of those who would benefit by the prudent utilisation of the cheap credit which it is the purpose of Co- operative Banks to provide. BANKS FOR TOWN AND COUNTRY. There are two forms of these Mutual Aid Societies. In the one case they are based upon limited liability, in the other upon un- limited liabilty. The former are know as Urban" or "Share" banks, and arc pro- moted in this country by the Urban Co- operative Banks Association, Westminster. The latter are known as Village Credit Societies," or Agricultural Banks." These are promoted by the Agricultural Organisation Society. VILLAGE CREDIT SOCIETIES are registered under the Friendly Societies Act They are constituted by the enrolment as members of persons of known honesty P,nd.indtistry. Members pay a small entrance fee upon admission, but as these societies have either no shares or shares of merely nominal value, to commence with they have to borrow a certain sum of money from an ordinary banker or from some local friend or friends willing to lend, or place it on de- posit with them on their collective security. This fund together with the deposits of members is administered by their executive committees selected at their Annual General Meetings on the one man one vote prin- ciple. These: Banks have their duly-author- ised Councils of Supervision. Every one of their members is entitled to apply for a loan, but any member so applying must satisfy his Committee of Management that the purpose for which it is required is a sound one. The loan must not be expended for any other purpose than that for which it has been granted, and must be repaid at the time agreed upon. Those to whom ad- vances are made must provide a surety or sureties according to the amount of the loan required. No dividend is paid, and the ser- vices of all officials are gratuitous, exception being made in the case of the cashier or secretary to whom an honorarium may bo voted. AS BANKS FOR SAVINGS. There is good reason to hope that in courso of time the people in the country districts will have sufficient confidence in these popularly constitued Credit Societies to make a general practice of depositing a portion at any rate of their savings in them. This has already been the case on a small scale with the existing Societies. It should be noted in this connection that by deposit- ing their savings in a Bank of this kind men and women not *nly secure a better rate of Htt"t- than they would obtain if they de- (>osited them in the Savings Bank, but they tave the added satisfaction of knowing that they are helping their neighbours by con- tributing to the circulation of money in their own districts for productive purposes under proper safeguards. THE BANK AS BUSINESS COLLEGE. Co-operative Banks are based upon econo- mic and moral principle. Economically, they afford their members by means of com- bination opportunities for the utilisation of productive credit which would otherwise be either denied them or obtained only on tho most extortionate terms, and they train manual workers in the principles of orgnn Hation of business. Further, too, they en- able members to retain and untilise for them- selves the profits which in private or in Joint Stock banks would go in dividends to the shareholders. Morally, they placc a pre- mium upon good character, ability and trustworthiness, and by binding men of various opinions in a common comradeship, enable them to arrive at a better under- .tending of one another, and so assist in promoting the welcome spirit of a common Brotherhood. A NEW AID TO RURAL DEVELOPMENT. A NEW AID TO RURAL DEVELOPMENT. In an age like the present when so inueb AtWsiios 18 Was Raw to go" Question* these Societies are worthy of the serious consideration of all those who-are interest- ed ia the condition of the people. It ia notorious that the industrial revolution of the past century whilst greatly increasing material wealth nd personal comfort has had the effect of converting the majority of wage earners into mere mechanical units. It ia therefore most important that they should be stimulated to take a more person- al and lively interest in matters outside of their daily mechanical round and in the es- tablishment and development of Co-opera- tive Banks may be found one of the most certain and effective ways of securing this important social development. WHERE THE MOVEMENT IS AT WORK. The list of Village Credit Societies af- filiated to the Agricultural Organisation Sooiety ia as follows — Clophill Agricultural Credit Society, Bedfordshire Hedge End, Hampshire Barley, Hertfordshire Brookvale and Free- by, Leicestershire Scawby, Spalding and District, Lincolnshire Friskney, Lincoln- phire Wiggenhall, Norfolk Whissonsett Small Holders Society, Norfolk Castle Morton Agricultural Credit Society, Worces- tershire Far Forest, Worcestershire. The Returns from ten of these Societies up to December 31st 1905 showed a member- ship of 300. Loans were granted during the year to the amount of .£621, and deposits amounted to .£593. AND SOME REAL RESULTS. During the last ten years the small Bflav.'by Pioneer Society in Lincolnshire has advanced to its members no less a sum than iJ200 or an average of £ 120 per annum. Theae figures in themselves will no doubt appear insignficant, but if one reflects that there are thousands of villages in whirli efjual or larger amounts could be profitably equal or larger amounts could be profitably employed one will realise how vast would bo the benefits which would be conferred upon the smaller" rural population by the general adoption of co-operative credit. A PRACTICAL CONCLUSION. The soundness of the principle has been recognized by the Government in its Small Holdings Act, but it is not oupon official guidance or upon subsidies from the rate- payers as they propose, that the movement must depend. Its success can be secured only by basing it upon the combination of the principles of mutual and of self-help, Forced to an unnatural growth in the hot house of Officialism it would inevitably dwindle and decay. Nurtured in the invig rating atmosphere ot popular initiative and popular control it will make a vigorous, healthy and lasting growth.

COLWXN BAY AND DISTRICT HORTICULTURAL…
COLWXN BAY AND DISTRICT HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. ANNUAL MEETING. A SUCCESSFUL YEAR'S WORKING. The fourth annual general meeting of the Colwyn Bay and District Horticultural Society was held in the old Council Cham- ber, Station Road, on Friday evening. Mr T. E. Purdy, Chairman of the Committee, presided over a fair attendance of rnemoers and friends. A RECORD YEAR. The Secretary (Mr W. Groom) read the committee's annual report, which was as follows:— The committee desire to thank their numerous subscribers, their president (Mr W. Whitehead) for the silver cup, the donnrs of the various special prizes, and Mr T. G. Osborn, M.A., J.P., for the use of the field in which the Annual Show was held. The year 1907 has been a record one, the society having held three shows, viz., Rose Show on July 10th; Annual Show, August 15th; and Chrysanthemum Show, Novem- ber 15th. The Rose Show took place In the Church Room, and proved very successful, an exceedingly fine selection of blooms be- ing exhibited. This was the first rose show held in Colwyn Bay, and your committee are well satisfied with the manner in which it was supported and attended. In conse- quence of the very unfavourable weather which prevailed on the day of the Annual Show, the attendance did not reach xpee- tations, the result being a financial loss. As regards the show generally, the unani- mous expressions were that it was the best in every way since the society started, while the four judges stated that the numerous exhibits were excellent and a distinct credit to the neighbourhood. A special feature of. the day—the competition for children '11 decorated mail .carts, etc., with a bottle I of flowers, so admirably arranged by our esteemed lady president (Madame Riviere), was, we regret to say, very much interfered with by heavy rain. The Chrysanthemum Show and Floral Concert in the Pavilion on November loth was a magnificent success. Madame Riviere took in hand the ar- rangements for the concert programme, for which kindly interest the committee feel deeply grateful, because to a great measure the success of the day's proceedings were due to this fact, our lady president securing the gratituous servicey of so many well- known artistes, notably Madame Dews. The ladiei who graciously carried out the open- ing ceremonies were as follows: Rose Show, Mrs Wooler: Annual Show, Mrs Brock; Chrysanthemum Show, the Hon. Mrs Laurence Brodrick. The follo"- ing were the judges upon the three occa- sions: Rose She Messrs H. J. Ley and J. Barker; Annual Show, Messrs J. Saun- derson, Win. Paul, Manchester, J. Oldfield, and Geo. Beckett; Chrysanthemum Show, Mr B. Cromwell, Liverpool. The summary of entries and exhibits were:— Entries: Rose Show, 56; Annual Show, 6')1; Chrysanthemum Show, 25. Exhibi- tors Rose Show. 23; Annual Show, 105; Chrysanthemum Show, 13. The Chairman said the report was most satisfactory and pleasing to them all (hear, hear). On the motion of Mr Davies, seconded by Mr Hartley, the renort was adopted. Til EAS RITEH 'S ENCOURAGING REPORT Mr W. H. Bourne (the hon. treasurer) presented his balance-sheet. The receipts amounted to !24.! 19s 8d, and were made up as follows: iiaiance from 1906, L38 Os lud; subscriptions, t.65 6s 9D; entrance Ices, £ 6 19s ltd; special prizes, £ 12 8s Gel; advertisements, ;C7 12s 6D; admission money and sale of tickets, £ 96 13s 3d; special prize fund, Rose Show, 1:9 17s; programmes, £7 7s lid; bank interest, 13s. The expendi- ture amounted to £ 176 19s 6d, leaving a balance in hand of k68 Os 2d. The Chairman explained that an item of £ 4 travelling expenses, included in the ex- penditure, was tne expenses of the artistes for the Chrysanthemum Show. This was the total expense incurred under this head, the through the instrumentality of their lady president, having given their ser- vices gratuitously. Referring to the balance-sheet, he said it Was most encourag- ing. Mr Hartley, in proposing its adoption, said he thought it v, as an excellent balance- sheet, which reflected very great credit upon them all. Mr Davies seconded, and the motion was carried unanimously. VOTE OF CONDOLENCE. The Chairman moved a vote of condolence with Mrs Litt'er, Sylvania, the widow of w 1 11 I the late Mr Peter Littler, and said the de- ceased had been a subscriber to the society, and would have been, had he lived one of their most active members. Mr Hartley seconded, and the motion was carried. A similar vote was passed with Mr Stone, Hawarden Road, a men,ber of the com- mitter, who had lost his wife. ELECTION OF OFFICERS. Mr Stancliffe proposed a vote of thanks to the committee. "They had had a most successful year, and lie wished to congratu- late them unon their balance. Mr Edge, in seconding, said he hoped that next year the balance would be double. Mr Greenfield proposed a vote of thanks to the Chairman of Committee for the ex- cellent way in which he had performed his dut e3 during the past twelve months. He had not during his term of office missed one committee meeting, and the grateful thanks of the committee were duo to him (hear, hear). Mr Kilbourne seconded. The Chairman suitably acknowledged the compliment, and said he had but carried out. his promise to do his best for the society. Mr Walter Whitehead (president) and Madame Riviere (lady president) were un- animously re-elected. The following were ejected vice-presidents: Mr J. Herbert Roberts, M.P., Sir Charles Col. Gee, 8:1' Alfred Jones, Sir J. Barlow, M.P., Mr E. Wood (PaJO Hall), the Chairman of the Colwyn Bay and Colwyn Urban District Council, Mr T. H. Osborn J.P., Lady Rad- clifle, Mr G. Bevan, Mr E. Voute, Mr T. E. Lawrence, Mr T. Edge, Mr J. Amphlett, Mrs Barnato,. the Hon. Laurence A. Brod- rick, Mr Herbert Bourne, Mrs Crosfie'.d, Mrs Eden, Mr R. A. Edgar, Mr D. Gamble, Mr W. D. Houghton, Mr W. Horton, Mr G. W Mould, Mr Franc's Nv.nn, Miss Porter, Mrs Pearson, Mr T. E. Purdy, Mr Charles Reynolds, Mr J. W. Raynes, Mrs Schill, Mr J. J. Wooler, Mr J. V. T. Wood. COMMITTEE OF MANAGEMENT. The Chairman, Mr T. E. Purdy, was un- animously re-elected, and so were the vice- chairman (Mr C. Hartley), the hon. trea- surer (Mr W. H. Bourne), and secretary (Mr W. Groom). The committee elected wore: Messrs David Hughes, J. xiughes, W. Jackson, J. Faulkner. A. Jenkinson, W. Kipps, W._ Kilbourne, T. Lawley, W. Owen, T. Sutton, W. Hartley, W. Greenfield, H. Davies, T. Baskervilie, R. R. Clements, W. B. Lucas, W. J. Dunning, A. Blakeman, E. Driver, G. E. Rowland, D. Owen, J. Clarke, R. Booth (representing Old Colwyn), J. lay- lor (representing Rhos-on-Sea). It was decided to again become affiliated to the Royal Horticultural Society. FUTURE ARRANGEMENTS. It was decided to hold the Annual Chry- santhemum Show in November, and the Chairman made it known that- the lady president had expressed her willingness to assist them again. The Annual Show would be held on July 23rd, this date having been decided upon because the schools will not have closed for the summer vacation, and R the residents would be able to give better support. Encouraged by the success of last year'9 ventnr-e, an excursion will again be run in connection with the Shrewsbury fete. SMALL HOLDINGS ACT. Mr Wr. Greenfield drew attention to the fact that under the new Small Holdings Act it was now possible for working men to procure allotment gardens. One of the ob- jeets of the society was spreading the knowledge amd love of horticulture among amateurs, working men, and children." They must confess that they had not done much for the working man, so that it now behoved them to see whether there was a desire for allotment gardens, and to make the Act known generally, and especially to point out to .working men the opportunity offered to them. All present agreed with this sentiment and a hotv was expressed that the opportunity would not be allowed to go abegging, but that tipplications would .bQ made to the Clerk of the Colwyn Bay Urban District Council.

INTERESTING FACTS- Taking advantage of the presence so many psyne-ms end others, tihe Reoror read an ac- count of t.e receipts and exp-ehtcs oc the school since tlio "appo.inuxl day, June 1st, 1904, but prior to dieting so he gave a brief accouinit of the sohools in this ptria. He Mated that the pioneer in the matter of education in the parish was the Rev- Sampson Roberts, curate of the p&risa, who, in tine early years of the eighteentn century, ewtabiisihed a. cnarity scho'Jvi in the parisn, and lii3 money, with that of the Deaai o. Bangor, went to ouy tne fa.rm of Firitoyrnirdir- In December, 1835, Colonel R. W. Wynne, of G a>rtbe\\iin, gave the site, and in 1836 the. Rev. W. Williams the then vicar of the parish, buiÎit the school, in which they were assembled. Colonc^ also endowed it with the farm of Du, "tor the edu- cation of the poor in the principles of t i e Es- tablished Church-" 'Ihe W ynmoe family also (supported tAiotlier eoliool built in the grounds ot Garthewin, m the early (Igyv, of the present one. The Rector xemarked tiiat the pioneers of education in this, as in most parishes, were tihe parens and good Uhuron people, that it was laborious spade work, and that, they imd not t;.e poorer then of scooping money out of the ratepayers' pockets. Speaking 0: the last named suoject he said: "Tnat power is abused, as we in this parish know, by spending money on buddings which are not wanted in a parish with a dwindling population. Thanks to Colonel Sandbacn, Messrs H. Ungues, T. Owen, J. Roberts, and Rev. J. Edwards, who canvassed the parish, their spending proddvities have received a oheck, and thetse gentlemen deserve the gratitude of every ratepayer in the parish for saving hundreds of pounds." THE PRESENTATION. During another interval, tihe presentation was made to Mrs Roberts of a handsome clock suitably with a pur,e of money. The oeiremony was formally carried through by Colonel Sandbaeh, in t.he unavoidable absence of tho Hon- Mrs Brodrick, torough iid.ness- In making the presentation, Colonel Sa.ndbach ex- pressed tlx- regtret 'they must all fed at Mrs iirotlirick's absence. Nothing, nc said, but ab- solute physical inability wouild have kept her away- lie complimemted Mrs Roberts on the excellent reiiulius produced in tho school, also on the way she had won and retained the esteem and regard of scholars, parents and' parishion- era generally, and concluded by wishing her and her husband a happy mairri-ed life- Mrs Roberts suitably replied, and her father, Mr Roberts, uloo exnreceed lieairtfelt thanks in an able Wetii sijjeech. On the projxxsirion of the Roc-for, seconded by Mr T. Roberts a hearty vote of thanks was aoeordecl to Miss S^idbach and Colonel Saridfoach for coming to the meeting, and to the latter Tor to ablv presiding over their meeting The Rector remarked that when he oame to t.he parish nearly four yea.rs ago. it was expected t,hat the son col would be closed at once- The sentence of death appeared in the local papers every six months or so. This deterred the parents from sending their child- ren to school, but now tnat- Colonel Sandbaoh had become a guaramtor, things had changed- The proposition was carried with acclama- tiDn. After aoknowledgin-r the vote the gallant Colonel adlded that "as long aa the parents con- tinued to send their children to the school so long wouJd he see that the school was kept opan." At tho close the children were treated to given by Miss Oharhtbeira. The eecre- tairy cl this successful function was Miss Augus- ta Davies, to whom great praise :s due.
COLWYN BAY LIBERAL CLUB.
COLWYN BAY LIBERAL CLUB. LECTURE BY MR C. E. ELCOCK. The Stones of York," the subject of the illustrated lecture given by Mr C. Ernest Elcock, at the Colwyn Bay Liberal Club on Friday evening, proved of exceptional in- terest, notwithstanding the title. Mr S. Glynne Jones, B.A. (vice-chairman) presided over an encouraging attendance. Mr Elcock has a great affection for York, where he received his early education, and recently he revisited the city, and explored anew its rare architectural beauties, this time in company with his faithful camera. The slides, which were shown by Mr C. R. Chaplin in a very successful manner, were nearly all made from photographs taken during that pleasant holiday tour. Dealing with the timber work, which is such a conspicuous feature in York and in Chester, the lecturer made sarcastic refer- ence to the imitations of this form of build- ing to be met with in certain North Wales seaside resorts, and his allusions to the whited sepulchre style of architecture" created much amusement. He strongly ob- jected to the modern tendency to force an appearance of art and the costly and ela- borate attempts to imitate the old English domestic houses. Why was it that so much present-day architecture lacked spirit of reverence which the stones of the old cities seemed to breathe out? That reality and genuineness might possibly be absent in some CASES because modern man, instead of seeking to express in his own work the pre- vailing spirit and life of his time, desired to create a big impression of his own puny individual spirit, so that he miodit show that he had read many volumes, and in order to impress everyone with the great- ness of his study he covered up his build- ing with column or columns, entablature and frieze, which in their time, and under suitable climatic conditions did express the people's spirit; but under our dull sky and low sun their lines seemed often meaning- less and uninteresting. In other instancse they saw some soul striving to throw off a little of this initiative architecture. He started out with such an idea of his own originality and genius that the result was an outrageous torturing of material, and they saw some eccentric erection stuck up in a beautiful quiet street, flounting its gim- crack construction and fantastic decoration before their eyes, as if proud of its own tastelessness and want of beauty. They could only make grand streets and erect beautiful harmonious buildings when they did not seek to imjaress others with their own individual skill and study, but when they built according to the requirements and feelings of the day, all their buildings clearly showing some reason in their de- sign and great respect for the spirit of the age in which they were erected (applause). Mr Rowland E. Williams proposed a vote of thanks to the lecturer, which was seconded by Councilolr W. Davies, and sup- ported by Mr Fred Griffiths. Mr Elcock, in responding, paid a well- merited compliment to Mr Chaplin, who manipulated the lantern. Mr Glynne Jones was thanked for pre- siding, on the motion of Mr T. J. Dowell, seconded by Mr Garside.

The extraordinary efficacy of Veno's Light- ning Cough Cure in children's cough troubles is oiuee more to the fore.

He coughed continuously all that time, and we did not know what it was to have a good nig hit's rest with him, and-we thought he would not live. I tried nearly everything yóu can mention, emulsions, lozenges, etc., and spent pounds, but found nothitig do him any good, until 1. tried Veno's Lightning Cough Cure.
