I REV. TOWYN JONES, M.P.'S., NEW TROUSERS. In the whole gamut of the appointments made by Mr Lloyd George in the composition of his Government there was not one tha.t excited such widespread astonishment as that of the Rev. Towyn Jones, M.P., as an unpaid Vhip, for, as is known, until recently this reverend gentl.eman. was the pastor of a Nonconformist chapel in the wilds of Wales. However, so strange an ap- pointment was taken as an indication of the gratifying fact that Mr Lloyd George's char- acterist-ic sense of humour had not been quenched by the burden of his responsibilities. Aliready the subtl-ety of his humour has been justified in its sequel. When Mr Towyn Jones took his seat for the first time on the Treasury Bench it was observed that he was sporting a brand new pair of trousers. The explanation has since been forthcoming. The new Welsh Whip has secured a new pair of trousers which he intends using only when" he is to sit on the Treasury Beaich. It is no secret that one of the best known of the Labour members, who invariably wears a cheap bowler hat as he travels up and down the country, keeps in his locker at the House a staining silk hat for exclusive use witiim the pre- cincts of the H&u&e. But Mr Towyn Jones has i i Jo ne has gone one better by placing in the Whips' Hoom that pair of trousers, which he will henceforth don on his arrival each day at the House and which he will doff as he prepares to take his departure. He will not, it appears, wear them even for his pulpit engagements. That pair of trousers is to. figuro as the sacred symbol of his less sacred office. -Natioital News.

I WELSH COMMISSIONER AT ABERYSTWYTH. I OFFERS OF SERVICE MUST BE UN- QUALIFIED. Mr John Rowland, Chief Commissioner for Wales under the National Service scheme, at- tended a special meeting of the Cardiganshire County Council, held at Aberystwyth, on Mon- day, t, o awist in making the necessary Arrange- ments for putting the sc heme into operation The chair was occupied by Mr J. H. Da-vies Registrar of the University College of Wales. Mr Rowland urged the importance of securing the co-operation of all sections of the community. He FUiggested that dlistrict committees be sat up, whœ¡- <^u*-v it would be to get people to enrol ?YIn! offers of must be uuquaJIaed, and ma- AYlil i o ffir ers of serv ice must be unqualified, an d ma- cruncry would be Beb up to decide whether a maa should be allcwed to ieavb his prcsant employ- ment <vr rot. Mr R. J. R. Loxdale, Castle Hill, pointed out that agricultural labour was already scarce in the county, and he hoped that it would not be fur ther depleted. iims of t,7,r i ou l Mr Rowland of agrioul- ture would rp-ccive ovcry consideration. Mr J. 1. Evans, Talybont, said flint farmers did not mind pavmcr good wp,,zts to experienced men, but the substitutes now being Rent to 1110 farms were not worth a shilling a day. What was the of sending a barber to work on the land? (laughter.) They ouq-lit to appeal to the Croi ernmenfc not to take any more men from the iarwt Committees were then vappointed for the differ- ent unions in the county, and arrangements made for holding an inaugural public meeting at Aber- ystwyth.

I SOUTH CARNARVONSHIRE I FARMERS GRIEVANCES I OBJECTION TO SUBSTITUTES. I The Carnarvonshire Substitution Committee invited a num ber of the South Carnarvonshire farmers to Pwllheli, and offered them substitutes for young men fit for general service. Captain Thomas, Rancor, explained that the Committee were satisfied that all the men offered were able to work on the land. The fa.rmers declined to take voluntarily any of the men offered. One farrrxv declared that there was no man in Carnarvonshire who could replace his men. Another farmor remarked that several of the men offered could no,t even plough; while another averred that it would be a great lose and inconvenient to him to change his man on the middle of the term. In answer to a member, one of the farmers admitted that he only paid 212 per half-year to hie servant. Mr Hughes Parry: If he ia not worth more wages he is not indtopen-sable to the working of your farm. Lielltena;r.t Cradoc Davies (the military repre- sentative) stated that he was surprised to see the farmers refusing the substitutes offered, aa ex- perienced farmetv had &ppEe3 for exemptions in respect of these men before. Mr A. Owen: They have obviously made up their mAi4 nd not to accept any substitute what- ever. I propose that we impose a substitute in each case. This was seconded by Mr Yale, and passed. Captain Tlflbmas informed the farmers that they oould have the for a fortnight's trial. A small committee was elected to consider the fanners' grievances against the substitutes.

LOOKING BACKWARD. J Most of us at some time or another have been perplexed as to which of two alternatives we should adopt. Later, when looking backward over the decision made, we may have regretted that we did not follow the other course. That is only because the one side of the picture re- mains hidden, wihenoae the other has been re- vealed to us by experience. There c.ro obviously manry things which do not come within our per- eonaj experience. That being so, we must be guided by the experience of others. Tens of thousands have stated that Mother Seigel's Syrup has changed for the better the ole course of their lives. All testify that Mother Seigel's Syrup exerts a wonderful influence for good on the whole digestive system. For nearly half a century this stomach and liver regulator— made from the medicinal extracts of nearly a dozen varieties of roote, barks and leaves ling proved its cfKeooy in preventing and removing Tn digestion and stomach and liver troubles. If. now. you njrc not enjoying the full vigour and buoyancy of health, p-ont by the expedience of others, and take Mother Sci?el's Syrup Z-Of aid "without delay.

r GORSE FIRING IN ANGLESEY. BENCH AND PRINTING OF WARNING NOTICES IN WELSH. At the Llangefni Police Court, on Monday, before Colonel T. E. J. Lloyd and other magis- trates, John Hughes, fairmeir, Tyddyn Fiernen, Uolnffinan was chargcd uinder the Defence of tile Realms Act with setting fire to gomse, an offenco for whuch the ma.ximum penalty is £ 100 and six months' imprisonment. A magistrate asked Inspector Williams if notices on this point were issued in Welsh, Inspector Williams replied that the notices were posted all over the county just as they got them, but they were not in Welsh. Dr. Williams: They might as well be in Greek as Engl sh as far as some of these country people were con ce rnedL The Chairman: Ignoz-aiie-e of the law is no excuse. This sort of thing is very dangerous with an these submarines about. Hughes was fined 8s. Two youths, Benjamin Wildi-ams, Yagubot Fawr, and Owen Griffith Owen, Fron Gooh, booth of Llaneugrad, pleaded. guilty to a s'milar charge at Maa-Kui GIas, which the constable described as "a very naked place in front of the sea." tc consta-ble added that sailors on the patrol boats had seen a great fire, and re- ported it. Each of the defendants was fined 10s. Iiichard Owen, California, LIanerchymedd, who did not appear, was also charged with a similar offence. The Polios Constable said he saw a huge fire in the parish of Llaneugrad one night. Next morning he went to the place and found Craig- fryn Farm on fire. About 35 or 40 acres had been burnt the previous nightt. When he accused the defendant he admitted that lie had set the gorse on fire. The Bench imposed a fine of 10s in this case also, but Dr. Williams expressed the opinion tha.t iioticee should be printed in Welsh as well as in English.

A HAPPY CHILD IN A FEW HOURS! WHEN CROSS, CONSTIPATED, OR IF FEVERISH, GIVE "CALIFORNIA SYRUP OF FIGS," THEN DON'T WORRY. Mothers can rest easy after giving "Cali- forniia. Syrup of Figs," beoa/use in a few hours all the clogg,-d-iip waste-mattsr, sour bile and fermenting food gently move out of the bowels, and you have a healths playful child again. Children simply will not take the time from play to empty their bowels, which become tightly packed, and then the liver gets sluggish and the stomach disordered. When cross, feverish, restless, see if the tongue is coated; then give this delicious "fruit Iiaxative." Children love it, and it cannot cauee injury. No matter what ails your little one—if "stuffy" with a cold or a sore throat, or diarr- hoea, stomach-ache, and tainted breath, i-erne ber. a gentle "inside cleansing" should always be the first treatment given. Full directions for babies, ohildren "f all ages and grown-ups are priavtcd on each bottle. Ask your chemist for a bottle of "California Syrup of Ficrs," then look carefully and see that it is made bv the "California Fig Syrup Com- pany." Hand back with contempt any other fig syrup. "California Syrup of Figs" is odd by all leading chemists, Is 3d and 2s per bottle.

BALA RIGHT OF WAY CASE. I The case of Jones and another v. Owen was heard on Wedlnesdiay in a Divisional Court of the King's Bench Division, before Justices Bail,hache and Atkin. This was plaintiff's appeal from a decision by Judge Evans at Balla County Court Mr Greer, K.C., said the question involved was whether plaintiff's were right in setting up an obstruction at a place which was alleged to be a. right of way. and thus preventing defendant from exercising has right other than as a person entitled to a private right of way. The plaintiff was the proprietor of the White Lion at Bala, e,nd he said he had a right to pass in a place on the bank of the river Treweryn, near Bala, called Cai Dai. The place was in the possession of different people. Mr Owen said he had a right to go there on his way to exercise certain sporting rights, which he held by verbal licence. There was per- fee t friendiiness between the parties, but they desired the question settled. The judge below had held against the private right, but lie sub- mitted that on the evidence and on the unoon- trovertible facts of the case there could not be a public Tight. He asked for the case to be sent back for re-trial. After further discussion, their lordships de- oided to send the case back for re-hearing on the ground that the information from the court below was inadequate.

I RESULT OF FOOD CONTROLLER'S POLICY. LESS DEMAND FOR MEAT IN TOWN AND COUNTRY. A rctuini issued on Tuesday from the London Central Markets states that in the week before the introduction of the voluntary rationing scheme the supplies to Smithfield aggregated 6895 tons. Last week, the second week of volun- ta.ry rationing, the supplies totalled 5057 tons, a decrease of 1838 tons, or nearly 27.0 per cent. The following are comparative figures of sup- plies:- Week to February 3rd. Beef, 3188 tons; mutton, 2500. tons; pork, poultry, etc, 1207 tons; total, 6895 tons. Week to February 17th. Beef, 2160 tons; mutton, 1555 tons; pork, poultry, etc., 1342 tons. This represents, as compared with the previous week, a decrease of 1028 of beef and 945 tons of mutton, and an increase of 135 in pork, poultry, etc. "The result in so far as London is concerned must," says the return, "be considered satis- factory, and as indicated by the diminished de- mand bore-the principal distributive centre- shows that a large section of the populace of the Metropolis are loyally restricting their consump- tion of meat to within the limits laid down by the Food Controller." We may add that the Food Controller's policy has led to a diminished demand for meat in the large distributing centres throughout the country. Local auctioneers in the country districts have found that meat prices have fallen somewhat con- siderably, cattle realising under the hammer from J64 to JB5 less per head.

I THE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE. I I DIRECTOR-GENERAL OF FOOD I I PRODUCTION. ) The President of the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries has appointed Sir Arthur Lee, K.C.B., M.P., to be Director-General of Food Production (unpaid), responsible to the President for the co-ordination ajid executive oorvtrol of those sections of the Board which deal with the supply and distribution of seeds, fertilisers, feed- ing stuffs, machinery, labour, etc., and the work of War Agricultural Committees in England and Wales. The Duke of Marlborough has been appointed Joint Parliamentary Secretary (unpaid) to the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries, and will rer present that Department in the House of Lords. The Hon. E. G. Strutt and Mr A. D. Hall have accepted for the period of the wax the un- paid posts und-er the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries of Additional Agricultural Adviser and Scientific and Technical Expert respectively.

POTATO PRICES REVISED. I The Prime Minister, in a telegram to the Lord Mayor of Manchester, on S.aturday morning, said that the recent prolonged frost has reduced the available stocks of potatoes and interrupted their regular distribution. The Departments con- H, le D)?&y Etrtmeri,tg con- cerned had at his request met and conferred with representatives of the wholesale and retail trades, and had submitted the following proposals, which had been approved by the War Cabinet:— The price which the growers will be entitled to charge to dealers and merchants for pota- toes delivered after the present date up to March 31st will be J69 (nine pounds) per ton free on rail or free on board. After that date the corresponding price will be glO (ten pounds). The price at which the growers or any other person may sell to the retailer will be ten guineas until March 31st and eleven pounds ten shillings thereafter, in addition to the oost of carriage. The prico which the retailer may charge will be three-halfpence per pound up to March 31st and one penny three-farthings per pound thereafter to the end of June.

ANGLESEY GRAZING LAND. I By instructions From Sir J. Pilchard-Jonee, Bart., Messrs John Pritchard and Co. conducted the annual letting by auction, on Wednesday, of grazing land at Bronmenai, Llangeinwen, whem they were favour-ed with a small but good business company. Caeau Brynitirion, compris- ing 10a. Or. -32p., were let for £47 till December 31st; Cae Fron, comprising 3a. lr. 18p., let for 215 to December 31st; Ca.e'r Twr, 6a. 2r. 23p., let for £35 to December 31st. The total pro- oeedis for twenty acres amounted to is equal to 24 178 per acre.

CHESHIRE FARMERS AND PRICE OF I FEEDING STUFFS. A correspondent wirtes: — Cheshire farmers are agitating for the restriction of prices of all feed Li tg stuffs which are needed in the produotion of milk,, and the Central Association of Milk Producers is being asked to deal with the matter. The farmers contend that it is not fair to restrict the prices of milk and not those of the feeding stuffs. They arc, they sa.y, producing milk for & price which is below the oœt of production.

FARM NOTES. I In view of the difficultly of securing delivery of basic slag, superphosphate amd other phosiphatic manures, the President of the Board of Agri- culture asks farmers not to apply phosphates to meadows amd pastures during the remainder of the present eeason. All available supplies should be reserved for other crops, especially for roote and potatoes. Ilavin,2 iegard to the øhOtrt euippiics it ig not advisable to appV more than threa-fourths of the usual diroei aiiigs of these ptboephatio manures, since b-ett-cr results may be expected from the same total weight of manure if the whole area under any particular orop is manured lightly, than if a pa.rt is heavily dressed and the balance left with-out artificial manure. This rule applies only where the land is uni- form in quality. In those eases in which farmers know that certain fields are poorer than others the manurial treatment mus t be adapted to Cibe tpeciai conditions. Where land in good condi- tion can be g-ivm full dressings of farm-yard manure, artificial phpsphatio manures may often be omitted without materially reducing the crops. I The attention of farmers is directed to the advantages of wpplyii^g small quantities of lime in localities in which it can readily be obtained. Lime is itself an essential plant food: it will also unlock eome of the storee erf nitrogen and potash in tho soil, especially on well-farmed but heavy soils, and, as a temporary measure, may therefore tako the place of part of the manures which the land would otherwise require. Prizes to the value of £23,362 will be given at the National Show of Thoroughbred Stallions, Hunters, and Ponies, which opens in London at the Agricultural Hall next week. Of this amount, Beard of Agriculture, King's premiums, super-premiumsi, a.nd premiums for nding-pony stallions represent £ 20,600. Messrs Dicksons, Ltd., of Chester, have issued their comprehensive catalogue of grass, clover, and other seeds, which they are offering under a guarantee as to purity, genuineness and ger- mination. The firm's swede, mangel, turnip, and other root crop seeds are the produce of selected transplanted roots. The girls of the Machynlleth district are be- ginning to look on agricultural work in a differ- ent light from what they did before the war, and now do not oons.ider it a disgrace to go and *ork out in the fields. The War Cabinet has intervened in the dead- lock in the potato trade, and has fixed prices P.t which the present crop may be sold. TiH the end of March the greengrocer may not charge more than 11(t, a pound; during the next three months lid may be charged. It is anticipated that the scarcity in potatoes will continue for several days. Mr William Thomas, of Glyndwr, Llangrist- iolus, recently bought a sheep at a Red Cross sale. Last week the sheep bore five lambs, all of which are alive. Captain Beville Stanier, M.P. has been given command of the agricultural labour company for Shropshire, and he hopes in this capacity to help the farmers and also the cost of production. At a meeting of the Essex Farmers' Union at Romford a resolution was passed asking the Government to fix a minimum price of 508 per quarter for wheat for ten years after the war with proportionate prices for oats and barley. At Ormskirk, on Wednesday, the price of wheat advanced another Id per buhel to Tl 3d far the best sample, this constituting another record.

STOCK_J5ALES. CONWAY CATTLE MART. I Messrs Wm. Dew and Son and R. Arthur Jones were favoured with important consign- men of cattle at their fortnightly sale at Con- way, on Wednesday, when there was a brisk trade, resulting in an almost entire clearance. The market fluctuations of the last few days, owing to the dictates of the Food Controller with its resultant diminution in meat consumed, proves clearly that the moral obliga,tion to comply with these demands is a real foirce in the country, but on the other hand theqestcred steadiness of prices will tend to reassure agriculturists, who have laid by very expensive stocks of feeding stuffs. The price of beof as shown by this day's sales tends to gettle between 70s and 75s for best quality cattle, with a slight upward tendency. Pigs continue to make extraordinary prices. A fat sow was knocked down at J319, the price, as a dairyman remarked, of quite a decent dairy oow, net so many years ago. The University College Farm consigned ten pens of Welsh mountain lambs, which were in keen demand, and realised a high average price. The pens from Major Eric Piatt comprised some extra good Welsh yearlings, realising up to 50s. Appended are a few of the principal prices realised:— Cattle.—Mr W. S.
