Liberalism and the Land. At Bedford on Saturday Mr Lloyd George is to put himself at the head of the Liberal forlorn hope and com- mence the much adjourned 1; land- bursting campaign, from which it is hoped rare refreshing fruit may result for the Liberal Party. The country is to be told that, if only it puts its trust in Mr Lloyd George and the Liberal Party, the land will flow with milk and honey, and the housing problem will be a thing of the past. The forcible feeding of property owners, large and small alike, with a mixture of the Single Tax and Socialism, and the general enforcement of perpetual tenancy to the State instead of ownership will be advocated as the sure and certain method of producing an earthly Paradise, and the people will be told that if they prefer the ownership policy of the Unionist Party to the new patent of the Prophet of Criccieth, precisely the oppo- site condition of things will result. All this and more will doubtless be stated by Mr George in characteristic fashion, and the obedient Ministerial Press will echo his words, garnishing them, perhaps, with carefully selected extracts from the report of the private inquiry agents of the semi-official Liberal Land Inquiry Committee, from which the wire-pullers of the land-bursting campaign have been endeavouring to 2n, z"1 persuade Liberal newspapers to extract material for special editions adapted to partisan prejudice. But it is possible that in his haste to recommend his new policy, the Chancellor of the Exchequer may omit to do justice to the record of his party in connection with reform and housing. We, therefore, venture to anticipate such an omission by a bare statement of the facts in this respect. It is indisputable that in the matter of rural and housing reform, the Liberal Party has from time immemorial been the party of words, and the Conservative and Unionist Party the party of deeds. Liberalism has given the country fine phrases often enough, and is again to offer this unsatisfying dish for popular consumption. Unionism has acted con- sistently and well, and all the most beneficent agricultural and housing legislation on the Statute Book is the work of Conservative and Unionist Governments. This is no partisan assertion. It can be verified by anyone who chooses to examine the records for the past sixty years. But it may be said that since the advent of Mr Lloyd George, the modern counterpart (self-described) of Daniel, St. Sebastian, the Good Samartian, Samson, and St. Paul, a change has come over Liberalism. Let us see. In 1908. and subsequently, Unionists endeavoured to secure prac- tical agricultural education for children in the village elementary schools, so as to give them a better chance in life. The Liberals in the House of Commons defeated this proposal. During the present year Unionists Irave endeavoured to secure for agricultural labourers (I) a good three-bedroom cottage and a large garden at a rent that they could afford to pay, or, alternatively, a freehold cottage and garden purchasable by easy instalments (2) freehold allotments and small holdings instead of land highly rented from the Parish, District, or County Councils and (3) State-aided village banks from which money could be borrowed at the lowest rate of interest. The Liberal Government have thwarted all these excellent proposals to help the rural community to help itself in the best possible way, and we have yet to learn that Mr George ever protested against, or refused to associate himself with, the action of his colleagues. From this it is evident that there is not the least good ground for putting any trust in Liberalism in respect of rural or housing reform. Mr Lloyd George's qualifications to be trusted in these important directions are well illustrated by the progress of the land taxation of which he is already the author. The Land Taxes of the "People's Budget" were to provide "Dread iiou ghts;' and Old Age Pensions and were to be generally fraught with rare refreshing fruit for the parched lips of the multitude," who, unlike the Chancellor of the Exchequer, are unable to find distraction in exciting Stock Exchange ventures, motor tours with millionaires on the Continent, holidays in Scotish castles and Welsli health resorts, and occasional sea-trips on the Admiralty yacht. The Inland Revenue Report for 1912-13 has appropriately been published on the eve of Mr George's new campaign. It shows that in four years the Land Taxes, which should have yielded not less than ^1,195,000, have actually produced only ^223,237. To collect this sum the nation has been involved in an expenditure of ^1,169,000, and the process of collection has severely injured the property market, the building trade, and the labour market, frightened capital abroad to an unprecedented extent, thereby causing a general loss of work and wages, and involved owners of property, large and small alike, in costly law charges. And the author of this ruinous legislation now desires to be allowed to make further speculative experiments at the country's expense

LLANDEFAELOG-FACH. KEEPER HONOURED.—The current number of the "Gamekeeper" contains a portrait of Mr ^Thomas Lanaway, head keeper to Mr T. H. C. Webster, Glanhonddu, and a very appreciative article. Mr Lanaway has con. tributed on several occasions to the Game- keeper "and the" Field." He has had a wide experience as keeper, uud is well known in most of the principal shoots in the South. HARVEST THANKSGIVING.—Harvest thanks- giving services were held at the Parish Church on Wednesday last week, and were more than usually successful. Holy Communion was administered by the Rector at the 8 o'clock ser- vice, and the Rev. C. Davies, vicar of Llanthetty, preached a helpful sermon at the morning ser- vice. In the evening there was a crowded congregation, when the Vicar of Llanthetty preached in English and the Vicar of Garth- brengy in Welsh. The services were intoned by the Rector, and the lessons were read by Mr F. G. Dickinson. The sacred edifice, which lends itself so readily to floral decorations, was exquisitely adorned for the occasion. The font was ornamented with a profusion of sweet peas, the work of Mrs Price, Pontwilym, Miss Davies, Pytinglas, and Miss Protheroe, Llethrgneuen. The decoration of the screen was undertaken by Mrs Price, and the intertwining of barberry and wheat was singularly effective. Great pains had been bestowed by Mrs Williams, Llantwit- major, upon the altar, which was ornamented with passion flowers, lilies, and other white flowers. The top of the pulpit was bedecked with a number of gladioli, dahiias, fuschias and other brilliant blooms nestling on a bed of fresh green ferns, whilst in the centre of all bung a bunch of luscious black grapes. The middle of the pulpit was left in its naked beauty, but the base was hidden behind a profusion of palms, ferns, chrysanthemums and other plants. Mrs Webster and Mrs Dickinson forwarded some choice palms and flowers for the occasion. SOCIAL EN-ENING. -In response to an invita- tion from the Rector and Mrs Francis, a large number of parishioners assembled in the School- room on Thursday evening. At 7.30 there was a meat tea provided, after which songs and recitations were given by Messrs C. Davies, Pytingwyn, D. Jones, Tairderwen, W. Allwav, Castle Madoc. and Mrs Williams, Llantwit- major. The Vicar of Garthbrengy brought a powerful gramaphone, which was much enjoyed. Games such as musical chairs, turning the teacher, and vacant chairs followed, in which both young and old participated with zest and enthusiasm. There were also dances, which served very much to enliven the proceedings and which were certainly the favourite pastime of the eveqing, and were kept up until 11 o'clock. The guests-sat Iown to another meal which was followed by a few speeches. Mr F. G. Dickin- son, churchwarden, on bebalf of the parishioners, I offered the rector and his wife a hearty welcome to the parish. He said they were extremely grateful io him for the privilege and pleasure of that evening's varied entertainment. He con. gratulated the parishioners on having such a ;cler,-yinan to minister to them, and sincerely hoped the people would suprort him most loyally in his work in the parish. Years ago they had similar gatherings, and he could testify to the benefit that had accrued to the oarish in consequence. Such meetings brought them closer together and helped them to understand and appreciate each other. The Rev. A. E. Evans expressed pleasure at being present, and having congratulated the Rector at having such a parish to work in, he proceeded to exhort the parishioners to give him the benefit of their praters and support. The Rector was a singularly broadminded man, and would work amicably both with church and chapel folk. Mr Evans imploied them to sink their iiruo differences, to cease from quarrelling amono themselves, and fix their eyes upon the one personally, Jesus Christ, and strive as one man to be guided by him. The Reccor, in re-poiid- ing, said he was greatly encouraged by the kind expressions which Lad fallen from the speakers. He was delighted to meet them, and he sincerely hoped that the spirit of determination shown that night to help him in his work would con tinue. They wanted consecration to regard themselves not as their own, but as Christ's, who had bought them, and whose they were. He was extremely indebted to all who" had so materially contributed to the success of that gathering, and hoped they would have many years in store to work for the glory of God and the extension of his kingdom on earth.

THE LATE MISS MARGARET POWELL. Great Loss to Builth. We rpcord with much regret the death of Miss Margaret Powell, of Wye Side, Builth Wells, wh ch took place late on Thursday night, at her residenoe, at Buiith Wells, after a short illness. Miss Powell, in conjunction with her late sister, Miss Elizabeth Powell, built the Builth Wells Cottage Hospital at the cost of between E2000 and £ 3,000 and endowed it to the amount of Y,4 000 at the same time. When the late Miss Elizabeth Powell died in September, 1911, she bequeathed to the Builth Wells Cott-?^ Hospital her share of two farms in'thn parish of Maesmycis, near Builth Wells, and it is expected that Miss Margaret Powell, who has just passed away, has also willed her share of the same farms to this institution, therefore ths whole of 'he property will eventually become the property of the Bailth Hospital. It was as late as a few weeks ago that the deceased lady expressed her intention of extending and, enlarging certain rooms at the Bailtb Wells Cottage Hospital as a memorial gift to the memory of her late sister, but before anything definite had been decided upon the end arrived. Through her death Builth Wells has sustained a great loss, and various local institutions have lost a generous supporter. THE FUNERAL. The funeral took place at St. Mary's Parish Church on Monday morning and wis of a private nature. The Rev. Owen Evans con- ducted the service in church and at the grave- side. The unrpliced choir attended and sang in church "Nearer, my God, to Thee," and at the grave-sile "For ever with the Lard." The mourners included the Rev. Lewi's James, the Rev. Owen Evans, Dr. M Spencer, Messrs C A Price (Pulrose), Charles Stewart (Broad street), A Gwynne Yaughau (the Hafod), Fred W Eadie (Llandrindoi Wells), F D Berry George (Broad street), W F Phillips (the Woodlands), David Thomas (London and Provincial Bank), W Snead Williams (National Provincial Bank), John Powell (Montpiiier terrace, Swansea). The bearers were Messrs Lloyd Prosser (Broad street), T Samuel (Hiilfield), J Sea- borne (Danesbary), Ernest Weatherley (Elms- wood), D Harper, H T Jones (Dolgerddon), J Evans (Bridge street), Walter Hope, WilliaM Mytton (Market street), J Jones and T Janes (Bridge House). The fanaral arrangements were carried oat by Mr W T Seaborne, undertaker, Bailth Wells. The coffin was of polished oak with brass fittings, and inscribed on the breastplate waR: "Margaret Powell, died October 2od, 1913." Flowers were sent by the Hon. Secretary and Matron of the Builth Cottage iiospita), the Comnittee of the Builth Cottage Hospital, "In memory of Miss Margaret Powell, one of its foundress, and one whose good works to the institution will ever be remembered," Aunt Powell and Nellie, Ann, Jane and John," Mrs Williams, "Florrie and F W Eadie," C A Price, Mr and Mrs David Thomas (the Bank), "Rosa," Mary (cousin), "Lizzie, Pollia and Ann.e," "Cissie and Lew," "Basil," toe Clerk of the Patiah Church, Mrs E Williams and family.

LLANVEIGAN. SEASIDE TRIP.—Llanveigan bad its outing on Monday, September 29th, when a fair number journeyed to Swansea for the day. Mr Morgan "The Usk," Talybont, took the company from Cross Oak to Brecon in two brakes, and brought them bijek again at night, It was a lovely day and all enjoyed themselves thoroughly. The departure for Brecon was taken at 8 10, and home was reached about 11-30 p.m. Mr L Curtis accompanied the party. HARVEST FESTIVALS.—The Llanveigan har. vest festivals were held on Thursday, the 2nd inst. There was a celebration of Holv Com- munion in the Mission Church at 8 a.m. when a fair number was present. The ce ebrant was the Rev J H A Griffiths, M.A., Vicar of New- bridge-on- Wye. At 3 p.m. there was service at the Parish Church, when the church was crowded. The service was intoned by the Rev J H A Griffiths, and the Rev D Saunders Jones. M.A., Vicar of St David's, Brecon, preached a admirable sermon. The .sillgiog was exceiient. Mrs Evans, Mrs King, Mrs Turford, Gwen Evans, and Mr Cartis decorated the Parish Church. The festival was continued in tie Mission Church at 7 p.m., and although it was am awful night, a large congregation mustered to enjoy the beautiful service which took place. The singing was agiin exceedingly good and the choir rendered the anthem "W^hat shall I render unto the Lord in a capital nianne-r. The ser- vice was intoned by the Rev D Saunders Jones, M.A., Vicar of St. David's, and the Rev J H A Griffiths, M.A., Vicar of Newbridge-on-Wye, preached an excellent sermon.

Lianga ttod: had a home fixture with a team from Tredegar on Saturday last, but the visitors did not put in an appearance.
