I 11 RFYIEW. FRUIT GATHERING By Sir Rabin. dranath Tagore. (Macmillan A Co., 4/6 net.) It is a real delight to read these charming prose-poems, and to compare an eastern mystic poet's cosmic views with those of poets like Wordsworth, Shelley, Browning, and others. The Rev. Stopford Broolke says:-Cc lp Wordsworth's poems we tooth the human heart of flowers and birds. In Shelley we touch shades that haunt thought's wildernesses. or, Bat of Tagore we can say that he thinks the cosmos, loves the cosmos, and intensely lives the life of a cosmos; the son shines in him, the rivers flow in him, the flowers bloom in him, and the birds sing in him. No one can read these'poems without feeling that the author is in touoh with the thrill of nature and human life. The book is clearly printed on good papar and neatly bound. We must heartily commend it to our readers.
CORRESPONDENCE.:-,
CORRESPONDENCE. I We dp not hold: ouralelves re,sponsible fot the opinions of our correspondents. TO THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE U.D.C. I Gentlemen, I I hope that you have not given up all thoughts that "Mynach" had gone astray, and that no more letters would appear from his pen. As I am getting old, the severe weather of last week was too much for me, but I am up and doing again, and I never dreamt that so many of the ratepayers were looking forward to the contributions of Mynach." Well, as that is the case, I will promise the ratepayers an occasional contribution. I read the report of your last Council meeting in the local paper with some astonishment. First of all, your de- cisioti as rtg-ivd the appoinhnPllt of a reptpHfutati ve on the Abeiystwyth elourt of Governors is very amusing. You» Chairman said plainly enough that lie would not attend Hriy meetings nf the Governors whilst ihey paid the pension to the German professor, and yet. in the face of that statement, which I take for granted is right, your Council decided to Hdhere to i beii, former lesolu- tion that the Chairman shontd hp the Council's representative on the Court ot Governors. What is the use of appoint- ing a representative who declines he won't attend the meetings. Snrply there is no consislericy in a procedure of Ihut kind. Secondly, you decided to suspend your byelaws now in force as regards pig kppping. Ver y good indepd. I am very gliid that the Council have at last acted upun my bU^g^stinn mltde mont bli HgO that the working man should be allowed to keep pigs. As long an piga are not, k..pttou neRtdweliinK houses there is no fear of them being a souice of nuisance to anyone, but the Council should insist that the manure should be cleared very often. I was very disappointed to read of the little reponse given by the different land owners to the Council's appeal for plots of land for garden plots. Will the Council allow the matter to drop at that? Are there not other plots of land avail- able which the Council have left out, ? The Council ought to be very thankful to the Cambrian Railways Company for coming forward and offering garden plots rfree of charge, otherwise the Council would have done nothing for the working man to have a plot of land. As your Council were responsible for calling the ratepayers together to deal with* the food stuffs question when a committee was appointed, it would be interesting to know what has become of I the Food Stuffs Committee. Is it still in exiatence t Why did the Council pass to refer the War Loans meeting to the committee and afterwards take the matter into their own hands ? That sounds rather funny to the man in the street. By the way, whilst talking about the Food Stuffs Committee, what has be. come of the Advertising Committee and the Tradesmen's Association. Has the Food Stuffs Committee caught the fever from these organiatttious, or has the Council something to do with their sleepiness ? Some time ago thera was a big fuss about having County Court sittings at Barmoath. Has the Council anything to say on this question now ? I am given to understand that the lease for the bathing rights of Bar. mouth has been terminated, and that the Council are open to deal with the question of letting the bathing rights, and also the placing of chairs on the beach. Up to the present, the Council has let these undertakings to only one contractor. Would it not be well for the Council to take into consideration the advisability of letting the bathing rights in different plots to different parties. This is done at other watering places along the Cardigan Bay coast. Why not at Barmouth ? Surely the Council ought to give every inducement to the ratepayers in this matter. Tbe more money the Council gets from this source lessens the burden of the struggling ratepayers. Before coming to any arrangement it would be very advisable if the Council would convene a ratepayers meeting, so that the rate- payers should have n chance of their views on this important question. Perhaps the Council would like a try at these well paying undertakings them- selves, so as to relieve the ratepayers of the high rates demanded. Gentlemen, I will conclude this time with the hope that the Council will be on the alert and endeavour to do their utmost for the welfare of the town, and have as much revenue as possible to lighten the burden of the struggling ratepayers.

A reader writes" The other day I was at a neighbour's house when a meal for two little dogs was being prepared, consisting of bread, milk and water. Dear me, Mrs Davies,' I said, don't you think it would be better for you to do away with one of the dogs and give the bread to little children that are starving, for the Bible says it is not right to take the children's bread and cast it into the dogs.' 'Goodness gracious,' exclaimed Mrs Davies, bow could one do away with an innocent little dog"" I I mean, I said, 'at the time of this terrible war, and one way of oconomising would be by doing away with half the BarmouLh dogs, and send their carcases to Germany to be used for making sausages for the Kaiser.' Too good by far for the cruel monster,' exclnimed Mrs Davies." "LINSEED COMPOUND" ii a good Cough M'xtiue; <-ffet;iive and econo- mical. Of Clieniists only.
