Never Despair! A SILVER SIXPENCE MAY BE YOUR MASCOT & MAKE YOU A SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST. Never despair whilst you have six- pence in your pocket, for that silver sixpence may be your mascot, and make you the survival of the fittest. It is all a question of health and vitality. Most of the ills that flesh is heir to come from an impaired digestion. Keep your digestion in order, and I tell you you will be all right. But, instead of rushing to drugs and stimulants to effect this, give your body a chance by giving it proper nourishment. All is not gold that glitters, as you have no doubt heard said before also a bad thing is dear at any price. And this brings us back to the silver sixpence with which I started. SDo not spend it on medi- cines which will do you no good—and the cheap- est of them will cost you more than one silver six- pence—but just straight- way invest it in a packet of Vi-Cocoa, and become strong and healthy as thousands of men and women have already done. You can try it free of expense. Write to Vi- Cocoa, 12, Henry Street, London, W.C., for a dainty sample tin of Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Cocoa, free and post paid. It is a plain, honest, straight- forward offer. It is done to introduce the merits of Vi-Cocoa into every home. OUR MOTTO IS— .0 Y. Excellence of Workmanship at The very lowest possible charges.

LLANRWST COUNTY SCHOOL. PROPOSED NEW BUILDINGS DISCUSSED. Colonel Sandbaoh, J.P., presided over a •pecial meeting of the Lianrwst School Gov- ernors, on Tuesday. when there were also present: Messrs O. legood Jones, J.P., E. Mi-is, J P., W. H. Williams, D J. Williams, Regetr Hughes, H. Owen, Revs. W. Thomas and H. Rawson Williams, Mies Jones (Council Soiled), Mr T. Griffith (clerk), Mr H. Jonee (deputy- dark), and Mr Waiter D. Wiles (county architect). Mr Walter Wiles, oounty architect, submitted a revved plan of the suggested additions and alterations to the eohool buildings, which was examined by the members- Mr Isgoed Jones moved that the plan be sub- matted to a sub-oommittee to be carefully ex- amined, having due regard fctf the financial resources of the governors. Mr MiKs having seconded the motion, it was adopted. and the following were elected to act on the committee: The Chairnwui, Messrs W. J. Williams (vico-ohairman), O. Isgoed Jones, E Mills, D. J. Williams, H. Owen and the II eadmaster. Mr Mills enquired whether Mr Wiles could be instructed to draw out puans of an entirely new building to replaoe the present one. The Rev. W Thomas re-marked that there W\J6 a strong fooling gaining ground in the town in favour of acquiring a new school building in preference to altering the present one, as it would prove more ooono mioa I in the end. Mr Wiles said this new aspect to the question should be thoroughly considered before they proceeded further with the present scheme- The Chairman enquired where could they se- cure the necessary funds to carry out the sug- gestion. Mr ,,oed Jones remarked t-hat an expense of 'i; 2500 ad been incurred in the erecticn of bhe E girls' school, and they had found it difficult to find the money. Now the alterations would cost another £2000, which in itself was a serious item, whereas the suggestion to spend about. JE5000 on a new building was hardly practicable. The Rev. W. Thomas argued that it was better to spend the .money now and finish with it t-liayi to spend £ 2000 on alterations and have to rebuild the school again in a few years. • Mr Wiles: The cast would be from £ 5000 to £ 6000 to have entirely new buildings. The Chairman thought the matter should be referred to a speciaj meeting. On the motion of Mir W. H- Williams, aa- oanded by Rev. W. Thomas, it was decided to convene a. special meeting to consider the questiir. from its new aspect- BURSARY. The Clerk explained tnait a.t the previous meeting- a bursary of L5 had been granted to Blodwen Mary Davies, of Vsbytty, but subse- quently it waa discovered t-ha-t sue reskied in tfio county of Carnarvonshire. The Carnarvon School Governors had met since, and granted the _,irl a. bursary oi i.5, therefore the one ttie Governors had granted was relinquished, and it waa available lor any otuer applicant chosen by the governors. Mr D. J. Wiluuiiiis contended that as the gov- ernors had considered tne bursaries at the previous meeting, when the names of 16 to 20 applicants wero submitted, out of which four or live received bui3arie>s the question siiou'.d not be roo failed. Tho Chairman explained that the governors were not called upon to give any more bursar- ies, but to grant the one that was disposed of to another (xuididate. In reply to the Chairman, the Clerk stated that the amount of bursaries at present was £ 173 10s. 0,11 the motion of the Chairman, seoonded by fvh Isgoed Jones, a bursary of J65 was granted to John Thomas Jones. Bron Wylfa, the son of a Llangerniew agricultural labourer.

His greatest success, however, was in the duet, The Coon ajid the Geisha," one of the prettiest atuirbers yet presented. Later, in ''Mars on the Mash" and ''Romeo and Juliet," he again did well. O.Jf Wcod again save unmistakable oroof of his real merit ad a oomedia-n., both in hi,éI aongs, duets, and in the sketch. Harry Reynolds gave several new and also favourite numbers, which, as usual, were quaintly rendered- Harry Reynolds, d-.spite his recent ilvues,, once more danced with his dd vim and sjraceiulness. and he was vocifer- ously oheered again and again. His ''do.;bio" with Vernon Wolstenhoiimo was very iCoUy. ALiz-tin .114?l- ,V4*3 iow,,r' ul baritone voice was heard to !ç¿ effect, whilst Harold Heath con- tinued to improve upon the good impression previously made. On tihis occasion Verroii Wolstenholme gave four capital illustrations of his powers as a. female impersonator Mark Stuart., ''he of the eyeglass and glev&s," pre- sented a new '"geography," which put a decided- ly d-ifferent aspect upon the eo .ntries of the world, and incidentally roused roars of laugh- ter. The scene. "Tilo Scarecrow," was g;ven by special request, but the favourable number of the evening was tine original burlesque, written and produced by Mark Stuart, entitled "Romeo and Juliet up to date," Shakespeare's sublime tragedy was arranged as a musical comodv. the characters being undo;taken as follows;- Romeo, Mark Stuart; Juliet, Vernon Wolstenholme; Capulet (Juliet's father) and Count Paris {Romeo's rival), Guff Wood; Friar Lawrence and T/bilt (Juliet's cousin), Austin May; the Nurse, Lady Capulet (Juliet's mother) and the Prince, Chas.

Mark Stuart j3 to be congratulated upon the success olf a really clever "creation." Whilst the troupe have been vii-y fortunate in their choice of accompanist tlhis aeaeon Bert Durant, apart from being an accomplished player, is well up to tlhis particular class of work- On Saturday the ever-poptiiar Harry Raymond brought hLi engagement to a close, opening on Monday with Poole's Mvriorama at Bedford- CATLIN'S PIERROTS. Catlin's Pierrots continue to make merry both on the Promenade and at Princes Drive daily.

PROSPEROUS ~LLYbFAEN INDUSTRY. NOTEWORTHY /EXTENSION AT MESSRS RAYNES' WORKS. AGENTS' TOUR OF INSPECTION YESTERDAY Notwithstanding the general depression in trade throughout the country during the last few muntlis, M < srs Baylies and Company's well known quarries and limeworks at Lly.sfa n have just undergone ex- tensi\<a improvements and alterations. Five months ago an article app,-ared in CoILtmns de,3cri ti, .10 9%0 of tlic undertaking a.9 it was at (tic time. en, Si? however, plant has been laid and structural altera- tions effected which have enabled the proprietors to virtually double their output. Moreover, the ground lime which the Company placed on the market re- cently, it; in such demand amongst agriculturists, and gardeners that the mills in that department have been enlarged and modernised. Hitherto it has been the practise, particularly of farmers to use the uncruslied lime for agricultural purposes, anything between five and ten tons an acre being utilised for ordinary crops. The crushed lime supplied by Mesf rs Raynes is so much more effica- cious that where tons were formerly used, hundred weights now serve a better purpose, because practi- cally every grain of the crushed material has its direct effect on the soil, whereas but a fractional part of the unerushed lime proved serviceable in aj much as its fertilising properties evaporated before they came into contact with the ground. This fact has been demon- strated so well that the modern agriculturist, has re- legated the old lump lime" to the limbo of other for- gotten things. Yesterday Messrs Raynes entertained their agenbi from all parts of North Wales, and without exception they testifi d to the grt-at satisfaction which the new product from the Llysfaen works had given to custo- mers. The weather was unfavourable in the early morn- ing so that the visitors were considerably fewer than would have boon the case otherwise, for many of them had long distances to travel. Nevertheless the party included Mr D. Williams, of Messrs Williams and Son, Holyhead; Mr R. Pierc\ of Messrs Pierce and Sons, Valley, Anglesey Mr Elli;, of Llanerch vme^d Mr William Hughes', J.P., Lianrwst Mr Harrup, of Ab rgelc and numf'rous others. They were met at the railway station bv Mr Trevor Raynea, the popular son of Mr J. W. Raynes, J.P., senior partner of the firm, and the gener-'l man- ager (Oa.pt. Murray), and und"r whose guidance they tour?d the extensive quarries, the lime erns'iing mills, the lime kilns, the stone en -.Ving works, tli- store- houses etc., finally in; pecting the S.S. Eleanor, the smarteflt. and, most commodious of the company's fleet of trading vessels. QUICK LOADING. The works have, as already staled, been described at length in the "Pion!Y7," but it must be added that the stone crushing works have been extended v~ry considerably within the last two or three months, and not onlv has the output been doubled in <*>nsequene<\ but- t'te new facilities for loading hav been so improved that the "Eleanor" can b- prov:ded with her eargo of 550 tons straight from the stone screens to her hoHs in two houits and a half. The storage capacity has also been practically (hnhld. The visitors, who w re .-bviously uuch smiiri. od with the extent r-f the alterations carried out. 'even- tually mad"* a ca'l upon Mr J. W. Ravnes in his pri- vate office where as already stated they present encouraging reports of the reception ac- corded the Company's new product in alt partJ: of North Wales. LUNCHEON They were afterwards entertained to a ranitaI luncheon at the Queen's Hot-el, Old Colwyn, Host T.ang with characteristic Fnrrs. The repast (WN. Mr David Wlliams, of Holyhead, proposed that the warmest thanVs of the company be accorded rs Raynes for (hei? hospitahility during- the dav. They had all obviously enjoyed t'hemselvs while inspecting the works and a?;ain at the tables (hoar, hear). Ttie result if their tour through the quarries and works would be that they would be in a position to make full use of their information in tran- sacting businev with their customers and he thought thev could not but push the ground, lime business°to the best of the.ir powers (hear, hear). Mr Wm. Hughes, J.P., Lianrwst, seconded, and said he had been very greatly interested in the process of time making and much impressed with the great de- velopment in Messrs Raynes' works during recent years. He felt sure thev would all do their b^st for the firm. for that would be to their own interest as well as the company (hear, hear). He had p, r onally, the hwt of v.ishes for the future pp-oseprity of the undertaking (applause). The motion WJS cordially approved, Mr Trevor Raynes, who presided on behalf of his father res- ponded and cxprcssrd sincere regret that the weather had precluded the attendance of a larger companv. Had the condition, b en more favourable they would have been better able to see the quarries in their entirety. He could only hope that they would all m".ct under similar circumstances more fre. quentlv in future, for he felt sure that the more they saw of one another the greater would be the amount iof business transacted between them (hear, hear). On behalf of his father, the firm and himself, he tendered the company sinoerest thanku for their at- tendance (applause).

This GREAT NATIONAL COM- PETITION, which is to [).3 carried on under oonditions similar to those which governed the less extensive—but ext.reaely popular—Currant Cookery Competitions of 1907, has, for the convenience of the Com- petitors, and for the purposo of ensuring perfect fairness and equality of judgment, been divided into separate sections for each oounty throughout Kngland, Scotland, Ire- land, and Wales. CURRANTS have, of recent years, been recognised by the highest medi al authorities as the most wholesome, nutri- tious, and inexpensive of all dried fruits. Fivery British Housewife who reads a home paper, has become thoroughly interested in Currant, cookery; she knows not only that Currants are good, but knows ivhv they are good, and why it. is w-e-ll worth her while to make a special study of Currant cookery, even though there were no such thing as Currant Cookery Competitions with tempt- ing prizes for the beat dishes.

BANANAS are becoming increasingly popular as a health food, and doctors are strongly rcoommending them as an ex- treinely light and easily mgested form of nourishment. It is a matter for grsat wondor, however, that banana cooking is so little practised by the majority of people, and one of objects of this competition is to stimulate special interest in Banana C-cokery, and to show what a nourishing and economical article of daily food Bananas are when cooked. They combine excellently with Currants in the making of delicious and simple puddings, cakes, and sweetm-eat", a,nd when testing these you will realise that there is, to all intents and purposes, a new held open to you in supplying the daily wants of tho table. The housewife, who enters for this Great Competition should MAKE A DAILV PRAC- TICE OF CURRANT AND BANANA COOK- ING, with a view of sending up, on the appointed date, her very best specimens of home-made Confections.
