The Borough Member and Welsh…
The Borough Member and Welsh Matters. Sir,—With reference to enclosed cutting from the Western Mail,' I did protest that if Free Trade was to be so far departed from as to give bounties to Irish tobacco cultiva- tion, it would be equally justifiable to depart from it in respect of Welsh flannel, beet- root, or other Welsh products. Then Mr Healy attacked Mr Harold Cox. I defended him, and so I suppose in this controversy my protest on behalf of Wales escaped the attention of the newspapers. While referrin gto Welsh products, I may say that the exhibits from Newtown and Llanidloes at the recent Welsh Industries Exhibition attracted a good deal of atten- tion, and Lady Evan Quin, Mrs Rees and I, and all the committee hope that in future years more industries will be represented. Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales besto\ved much attention on the Montgom- eryshire stall, concerning which I had been in communication with Sir Arthur' Bigge, and, as you know, with yourself.—Yours faithfullv, J. D. REES. The following is the cutting referred to:- Those Welsh members again! They are a party of lost opportunities. The only man amongst them who seems anxious to press the claims of Wales on an unsympa- thetic Government is the Imperial-minded Mr J. D. Rees, whose celebrated discovery that the War Office bought one solitary horse in the Principality has been followed by quite a raid of remount officers on some of our Welsh fairs. The subject of grants for tobacco-growing cropped up in the House yesterday. Ireland enjoys £6,000 a year. It seems a vain expenditure, for poor Mr Birrell simply cannot get his tormentors to smoke the pipe of peace. Mr Lloyd George was asked by a Scotch member if he would do the same for Scotland. He replied that he would. Then an English member chimed in on behalf of England. Certainly," responded the Cha-ncellor. This was the Welshman's opportunity, but no voice was raised on behalf of poor, ne- glected Wales. What, in the name of good- ness, are the Welsh members for? It is common knowledge that all their schemes end in smoke, and, actually, they have not got the courage to ask for a grant to en- courage the growing of tobacco!
The Welshpool Quid Pro Quo.
The Welshpool Quid Pro Quo. Sir WeJshpool, having been forcibly deprived of its Militia, has been asking for over a twelve- month for some sort of compensation for this grievous loss. The Borough Member has fought nobly for his Welshpool constituents, both in and out of Parliament; but the written reply he received from the War Minister, some days ago in the House, leaves much to be desired. The Poolonians are now asking each other, "Who supplied Mr Ealdane with his answer ? The terms of "compensation" offered are exactly those offered per telegram on February 27th, 1908, which nearly caused a riot in the streets of Pool town upon that notable evening. A decade is a convenient measure of time; and exactly ten short years ago-in the June of 1899— Welshpool had some 300 Yeomanry billetted in the town, and over 600 Militia under canvas in Powis Castle PaTk. Little did we think, ten years ago, that this was the last annual occasion for our good old town to be favoured with its usual comp'ement of soldiers! The military history of Welshpool has yet to be written. Verily, it will be most curious reading in its latter stages !—Yours faithfully, A BURGESS. Welshpool, June 2nd, 1909. P.S.-In addition to the odd 900 Militia and Yeomanry in training at their headquarters ten years ago, there were also in Welshpool some 80 or 90 Volunteers. Now (in 1909) there are only some 50 Territorials in Welshpool to represent the former Militia and Volunteers!!
Poison License—A Grave Danger.
Poison License—A Grave Danger. Sir,—It is satisfactory to find that the county councils are wide awake to the serious conse- quences of granting poison licenses to country shopkeepers in connection with the new Poisons Act. Ostensibly, this clause was inserted in the Act to enable farmers living in remote corners 20 miles from the nearest chemist to obtain sheep dip and weed killers. This seemed plausible at first, but it was soon discovered that if the large number of applications to the county councils were allowed this privilege would be much abused. The London County Council and Liver- pool, and many others, have made clear to would be vendors that no poison licenses will be granted where these poisons are supplied within easy distance by duly qualified chemists. The police are also on the alert, and realize the serious danger to public safety if the licenses are granted indiscriminately. Sheep dips containing arsenic are deadly poisons, and are safer in the chemists' hands, and it is terrible to contemplate the possible whole- sale poisoning that might occur if these potent things are stocked in the same stores as butter, flour, grocery, etc. I feel sure the Montgomery County Council, with its usual intelligence, will consider the public safety as of greater importance than the license fee.

Dangerous Neglect in Newtown.
Dangerous Neglect in Newtown. There are many in Newtown who do not realise how serious it is to neglect pains in the loins and back, urinary disorders, giavel, puffiness in the ankles and under the eyes, and rheumatic twinges. These and other unmistakable symptoms of kidney and bladder trouble are due to the kidneys failing to filter urinous poisons out of the blood. That is why kidney trouble is so serious, and why it so often ends fatally. An encouraging Newtown cure is given here. "I have suffered for several months with a severe pain in my back and loins, brought about by kidney complaint," says Mr W. Humphreys, of 12, Ladywell-street, Newtown. Iwas tired and listless, and work became hard to me. I tried several remedies without avail. Then I saw an advertisement of Doan's backache kidney pills, and I decided to try the medicine. I did so, and had the best results. Since taking Doan's pills I have got rid of the pains in my back, my energy has returned, and my general health is all that could be desired. I am very pleased to bear testimony to the efficacy of Doan's backache kidney pills, and shall certainly recommend them to others, (Signed) William Humphreys." Doan's backache kidney pills are two shillings and ninepence per box, or six boxes for thirteen shillings and ninepence. Of all chemists and stores, or post free direct from the Foster-Mc- Clellan Co., 8, Wells-street, Oxford-street, London, W. Be sure you get the same kind of pills as Mr Humphreys had. W

From Stonemason to Prime Minister. The death is announced of the Hon. T. Price, Prime Minister of South Australia. Mr Price was born at Brymbo, near Wrexham, in 1852. His father was a working builder, and he himself was taught the stonemason's trade in Liverpool. His career was in many ways remarkable. Though born in a humble walk in life he raised himself by sheer hard work and determination to a high and responsible position. From his earliest days he liked to be known simply as "Tom Price," whether as Sunday School superintendent in Liverpool or as Prime Minister in South Australia. He married the prettiest girl in the school," and with her emigrated in 1881, on account of alarm- symptoms of lung trouble, to Sydney, moving to Adelaide a few years later. There Tom Price helped, as a mason, to byild the Parliament House, in which he sat since 1905 as Prime Minister. For fifteen years he was in the South Australian Parliament, acting as the leader of the Labour party since 1901. He took the first holi- day he ever had only last year, when he came over to England to represent his Colony at the Franco- British Exhibition. Among his many engagments during this visit was his occupancy of the pulpit at Whitefield Tabernacle, when he propounded his gospel of work and told many interesting stories of his early life.

NEWTOWN v. MR. P. D. KINSEY'S.…
NEWTOWN v. MR. P. D. KINSEY'S. (BIRMINGHAM) XI. Played at Newtown. The home team won the toss and went in to ba £ first. The bowling of the visitors at the outset was very good and runs were vAry difficult to get. Newtown ran up therespect- able score of 104, mainly due to the following who all made double fiures:- W. E. Pryce-Jones, r. E. Pennington, R Ravenhill, J. F. Best and A. N. Powell. Goodfellow was the most successful bowler. Mr Kinsey's XI replied with 61, Good- fellow, Mills and Withers batting well. The finish of the match was very exciting, as with only one ball to go, Hughes was caught' by Fencington, the match thus ending in a good win for Newtown. Powell took six wickets for 20 runs. Roberts kept wicket very well, taking two very smart catches. The following are the scores: NEWTO'WN.

♦ INVESTMENT PRACTICALLY CONSIDERED." Price, 5s. Nett.-The intending investor, the small capitalist, the banker, the broker, and, in short, every member of the community interested in finance, will do well to read Investment Practi- cally Considered." The author, Mr Henry Lowenfeld, already enjoys a considerable reputa- tion as a writer upon financial subjects, and in the present book his usual standard of excellence is well maintained. Roughly speaking, the essays which it contains (reprinted from the Financial Review of Reviews') may be divided, as to subject matter, into two classes. Certain of them, In- vestment Safety,' 'How to Select Investments,' and others, are concerned with the general prin- ciples of safe investment and explain the value of the authors theory of Geographical Distribution of Capital and the method of its practical applica- tion by every investor to meet his own needs; while the remaining articles, such as Investment Crazes,' How the British Public Invest,' Our Unjust Taxation and its Remedy,' etc. are devoted to the considerations of particular ques- tions connected with current economics and finance. Mr Lowenfeld's style is clear and convincing; be never sacrifices simplicity to effect. The book is a model of sound practical advice offered in a most interesting and readable form.

Mr James Patten's profit from the wheat corner reaches £ 400,000. Owing to the magnificent weather Whit Monday was spent mainly out of doors under the pleasantest conditions. A small Spanish town near Bilbao was thrown into a state of panic by a madman, who killed five people with an axe before being overcome by the Civil Guard. Mr Patrick McHugh, the Nationalist member for North Sligo, died in a private hospital at Dublin. Mr McHugh first entered into Parlia- ment in 1892. From Victoria, British Columbia, comes a report of the discovery off Vancouver Island of the sub- merged hulk of the ill-fated British warship, the Condor, which has been missing since 1901. Mr Dennis Edwin Samuel, elder brother of Mr Herbert Samuel, M. P.. Under-Secretary of the Home Department, was run over by an express goods train at Leamington Station and killed in- stantly. John G. Griffiths, a grocer, 35 years of age, living at Talysarn, Carnarvon, was cycling down Glamfon-hill, Bangor, when he lost control of his machine and dashed into a wall. He was killed on the spot. A sensation has been caused in Calcutta by the judgement of the High Court, which sustains the appeal of the three men convicted in connection with Midnapore bomb conspiracy. The men were sentenced to transportation. The Lieutenant- General is to hold a searching inquiry. The Finance Bill is now published embodying Mr Lloyd George's Budget proposals in the form in which they will have the final consideration of the Houses consisting of 74 clauses in nine main divisions, and running to sixty-two foolscap pages, it is probably the largest and most compli- cated measure of the kind ever laid before Parlia- ment. .n- Whitsuntide is the season of conferences. That of the Independent Order of Oddfellows (Man- chester Unity) was held at Bradford, and the Grand Master was able to announce a membership of no less than 1,033,701, with a capital of up- wards of X14,000,000. The speaker condemned any system of State-aided and compulsory in- surance, as dealing a blow at the voluntary thrift movement. A well-known Paris cafe on the neighbourhood of the Louvre was the scene of a sudden tragedy. Mr David Henderson, and American, possessing considerable property, who suffered from melan- cholia, had been taking supper there with several members of his family. The meal was over, when without the slightest warning, he produced a re- volver, shot one of daughters, killing her instantly, and then put a bullet through his own head. In furtherance of their endeavours to increase the popularity of North Wales, especially as regards the early season, the London and North- Western Railway Company announce that on each Saturday morning during June a special excursion train, with corridor and lavatory carriages, will be run from Euston to the principal pleasure and holiday resorts in North Wales, the tickets being available for three, eight, ten, fifteen, or seventeen days.

LLANWNOG.
LLANWNOG. OBITUARY.—On Wednesday morning a gloom was cast over Llanwnog village when it became known that Mrs Elizabeth Jones, aged 68 years, the wife of Mr William Jones, formerly of the Roley Farm, had passed away. Deceased bad only been ill about two days, and no one had the slightest thought that the end was so near. She had been a follower of Christ's army about forty- five years, and at one time when young she had been a member of a little church in Herefordshire when the membership numbered but four. She has left a husband, who is an invalid, and six sons and two daughters and a host of relatives and friends to mourn her loss. The funeral, which was a public one, started from the residence of the deceased. The Rev J. Jones, M.A., vicar of the parish, officiated, with the Rev Darbyshire Roberts, M.A. (curate), at the house, in the church, and at the grave. When the large funeral entered the church the organist, Miss Abigal Kinsey, played most effectively The song of the Shepherds (Bonheur), and when the I funeral service was over she again, with great pathos, played the Dead March" in Saul (Handel). A feeling of profound sympathy was seen on the faces of all present especially when it was seen that the bearers of the deceased were six of her sons, a son-in-law, and nephew A funeral sermon was preached on the following Sunday evening by the Vicar of the parish.—Caersws I Correspondent.
MACHYNLLETH.
MACHYNLLETH. THE ordinary meeting of the Urban District I Council was held at the Town Hall on Tuesday last. The following were present:—Mr John Pugh (chairman), Mr Thos. Parsons (vice chair- man), Lord Herbert Vane-Tempest, Mr R Gillart, Mr J. M. Breeze, Mr H. Lewis and Mr Evan Morgan, also the clerk (Mr Edmund Gillart), Mr J. R. Leighton (assistant clerk), and the Medical Officer (Dr A. O. Davies) and Surveyor (Mr David Thomas). The following gentlemen were appointed on behalf of the Council as Governors of the County School viz :-Mr J. M. Breeze and Mr John Evans (merchant). The Surveyor reported some small leakages at the Sewerage Works which were ordered to be remedied if neces- sary. The question of contracts for carting house refuse, etc., came up for consideration when it was resolved that same should be continued for another nine months with the exception of the one for carting stones which is to be sontinued for three months only. The Medical Officer mrtie a com- plaint as to a slaughterhouse in the Garsbion owned by Mr David Wood being in a very in- sanitary condition and the Clerk was directed to take the necessary steps to compel the owner to remedy the matter. The plans of the proposed alterations to thedwellinghouse of Mr John Evans, in Bank Place, were approved. An appeal is to be made against the rating on the Sewerage Works and the Clerk was given the necessary directions in the matter.
CHIRBURY.
CHIRBURY. THE HOPE ROAD.-A meeting of the Chirbury Rural District Council was held on Wednesday afternoon, when there were present Messrs. Stafford Price-Davies (chairman), J. Anwyl, and E. Mcrris; with the Clerk (Mr Charles S. Pryce), the Surveyor (Mr W. P. Hole), the Medical Officer (Dr. J. R. Woods), and Sanitary Inspector (Mr E. W. Tudor.—The Chairman said he was pleased to say that the Council were now within reasonable distance of a settlement in connection with the vexed question of the Hope Road. He had gone backwards and forwards to the road many times and had spent a great deal of time in deal- ing with the matter, and he thought the least the Council could do was to provide him with a set of new tyres for his motor-car! (laughter). There was no doubt the Council agreed a long time ago that it would be a very good thing for them to enter into an arrangement originally proposed by Mr Wm. C. Bridgeman, M.P., whereby they should take over that private road and maintain it as a public highway. There were several details in connection with the matter, and he thought it desirable to take it in committee. This was agreed to.-At the conclusion of the discussion which en- sued, it was decided that the Surveyor do the necessary repairs of the road from Hope Church to the Hopes Gate Road.—The Surveyor presented a report on the investigation he is making with a view to improving Marton, Brockton, and Worthen water supplies. He stated that water was avail- able from springs at Marton Crest, Tantree Bank, Caus Castle, and Titley's Dingle. The latter, he considered, would be the most advantageous, and the spring had sufficient head to supply both villages at a reasonable cost.1 he Chairman said that it would be a good thing for the Surveyor to also see what water could be spared from the Hampton supply to help any scheme that might be dirised.
