RADNORSHIRE'S LOSS. Within the last week or two Radnorshire W- a lost by death two of its best known public men. The late AM. Richard Morgan passed to his rest at the end of a long life, full of strenuous public work and full of usefulness to the county. Now the County deeply regrets the loss of its Lord Lieutenant. The death of Sir Powlett C. J. Mil-bank, Bart., is a, grievous and. heavy 00. for Radnorshire. He was an ideal Lord Lieuten- ant and was most beloved by all classes of the community I His manly, straightforward style a,ppea-led strongly to the people of Radnorshire. His speeches always went straight to their hearts. Though he was a Unionist in politics, Liberals had the highest personal regard for him, and it is f probably safe to say that throughout his long public life he never oaused a single bitter thought or word. Sir Powlemt gave heavy blows, and received them. He did both in a spirit which prevented misunderstandings and which won the esteem of all. He wa-s no narrow-minded leader of thought and action, and w" always able to see the other side of a question, a.nd to appreciate his opponent's attitude. His personal relation- ships with all the public men of the county were of the most cordial character, land no man had a higher appreciation of priblic service or of the men and women wtho rendered it. His colletuguee on the County Council knew his wortih better than most, a-nd with Sir Powlett Milbtak in the chair, business was always conducted pleasantly sund with all possible speed. Every alderman and councillor was happy to sit under his chairman- ship, and his genial presence will long be missed. Since the war broke out, Sir Powlett had come nearer than ever to the people of the county. Hit services in connection with recruiting; his work on the War Agricultural Committee; his out- spoken speeches at the war anniversary gather- ings his championship of men who desire small holdings: and his fa-irnese as chairman of the County Appeal Tribunal are amongst the features of his more recent public life which won the high regard of all. He was an altogether helpful and uniting force in these dJa-rk days, and we shall a-li greatiy iniss him in the day of victory for which allheart.s long. We had iniagined his fine, towering, commanding presence welcoming with iis whole heart the gallant Radnorshire men who have maintained the honour of tahe county in these darys of war. and we know how liis whole heart would have been poured out in the wia-rmth of his words and actions. The blow has fallen sudden- ly. When the news of his serious illness was received at the War Ag- ricultural Committee, a dark cloud settled for the ret of the day, and when the Chairman of the County Council referred to the mattea- all; the County Council on the following Friday, deep anxiety prevailed on 3/11 hands. The whole county is glad of the words which fell from the Chairman, Vice-Chairman, and those stea-Mast-, representatives of Liberalism, Mr B. P. Lewie and Mr T. Davies, and it will ever be a happy memory that the last message from his colleagues in Radnorshire, received just before he underwent the operation, was one in which the unity of the county was expressed. His loss is no sectional one. Liberals and Free Church-people feel the weighlt of the blow scarcely less than Unionists and Church-people, and as the drew us nearer to- gether in life, so we trust that his detalub will only bind us more closely together for the new taske and duties which beckon us on.

LOCAL BUTTER PR1CES. We understand that the Brecon Borough and Rurad Local Food Committees will meet in con- ference to set right the present anomaly existing in respect to the maximum prices of butter fixed for their respective areas. The mistake cei'taml? needs rectifying. In the borough the price is 2/2 lb., just outside it and throughout the dis- trict it is 2/4. We have no doubfa that the committees each had good reasons for the prices they thought- wise to fix; but, it seems to us that die disparity between the two waa tantamount to Asking farmers not to bring their butter to Brecon for sale. Why a conference between the two committees had not been previously arranged in order ithat a compromise might have been arrived air. in fixing a uniform price is inexpiioable. But we should like to see the matter taken further and a conference convened for the whole of the county. There should be no difficulty in bring- ing it about. To fix a uniform price for butter for (the whole of the county does not appear to be a vary formidable, task, certainly not so difficult as would be its fairr land equaJ distribution. That is the real problem with regard to food. What- ever the price, some people will get all ttihey want whiie oithers will have to go without. At the present time such a thing should not be allowed to obtain. We should all share and share alike. This can only be done by the introduction of com- pulsory rationing schemes. This must come and butter and other food-stuffs distributed in the same manner as sugar is now. We notice the local Food Control Committees have come in lialtely for a good deal of criticism. It is easier to criticise than to serve on these bodies. They will be able to fix prices which will meet the approbation of every section and class of the com- munity, and a<t present their usefulness is ham- pered by Ítihe fact that they have no voice in compelling vendors to sell their goods, or where or how they should sa them. It would be ?JI if the public kept this in mind and restrained their temper accordingly. We are certainly feel- ing the inconveniences of the food supply, but we hare ndt yet felt the pinch.
