Mrs Esther Shipley, an aunt of the de- ceased, gave evidence of identification, and described the deceased as being able to hear and see well and he was quite active. 1,1forrie Shipley (13i), cousin of the deceased, said she noticed a number of children in- cluding her cousin playing on the gravel in front of the entrance to the Grand Lodge at Llandegai between 2 and 5 o'clock on Thurs- day afternoon. A motor car came along from the direction of Conway and travelled along the gravelled space. A hooter was sounded wilen the car was about three or four feet away from the children, some of whom ran away. The car struck deceased, but did not go quite over him. One of the ladies in the car alighted, but the driver did not do so. The lady said "I do not think ■ ho is much hurt, only frightcnod," and gave him a shilling. The car then went away. Deceased did not say anything, and she took him home. By Superintendent Griffith: The children were playing on the gravel between the en- trance to tho village and the Grand Lodge. Thomas Owen (12). Bryn Cottages, said the car came along very fast, but slowed down when it approached the children. The right part of the car struck deceased. Sergt.

AGRICULTURAL WAGESI BOARD.
AGRICULTURAL WAGES I BOARD. MlNfltflM RATES IN NORTII WALES. I Meetings of the Agricultural Wages Board wero held last week, Sir AitwyureUowca presiding. The Jiusrd. resumed consideration of their proposal to vary the minimum rates at pre- sent ill force for male workers by the reduc- tion of the number of" hours on which the rates are based to 50 in summer and 48 in winter. After a. long discussion they made an order giving effect to ths terms of the pro)x)sal. The Board considered the .objections re- ceived to a number of proposals to vary the Fperud minimum rates for special classes of workers in certain areas, together with re- ports from the respective District Wages Committee, and confirmed the propo-als. The effect of the confirmation of those proposal wilt be in the case of Anglesey and Carnar- von, Berkshire, Derbyshire, Dorset, Hamp- shire, Lincolnshire, Northumberland and Durham, and Yorkshire, that workers of the special clashes should be paid at the same iiiiiiiuni rates ,iiid oi-ertijile rates as ordinary Ill tit,- c;.t c ,f Huntingdonshire and Bedfordshire, Denbigh and l-'ii/ic, (Gloucestershire, Merioneth and Montgomeryshire, and Warwickshire, workers of the sjM'eKit clas.-i'j will l>e entitled to high- er minium rites than those applicable to ordinary labourers for a higher number of hours |>er week, and in the case of Norfolk and Suffolk workers of the special clas cs will be entitled to a lump sum per week, over and above the ordinary minimum rates, in respect of employment in connection with the feeding, cleaning mid other duties connected with the immediate care of animals. In the rase- of boys in Brecon flnd Radnor and -Itecioiietti and Nfoiitgoniery in respect of wjiom special rates baseJ oil customary hours are at present in operation, the effect of the confirmation of tiie Iloard's proi)osil ivill be that- boys of the.-e classes in Brecon and Radnor will 1), 1),ii(i at the ordinary mini- mum and overtime rates; in Merioneth and Montgomery, the special rates for the.-e boys will in future be based on a week of 6l hours in summer and 53 hours in winter, in- stead of on customary hours. THE HALF-HOLIDAY QUESTION. I The objections received to the proposal of the lioard to vary the "half-holiday" Order f-o as to provide that all employment in ex- cess of 6t hours on one day in each week other than Sunday, should rank as overtime employment, were considered together with the reports from the various District- Wages Committees, with regard to the proposal. It wa-s decided to confirm the proposal, except as regards those areas in which the special minimum rates for special classes of workers are based on a. higher number of hours per week than the ra'es for ordinary Iabollrcrs and the rates for whom arc calculated at ordinary rates plus overtime rates for the extra number of honr' worked and as regards Norfolk- and Suffolk, in which areas, tho special lump sum per week will be payable, in respect of wo'k in connection with the feeding, cleaning, etc., of stock. The Board considered the objections and the reports from the District Wages Commit- tee; on the propo a! to vary the "half-holi- day" Order in cerain areas and decided to confirm the proposals. The effect of the con- firmation of these proposals will be that in Anglesey and Carnarvon, Brecon and Radnor, IHnbigh and Ftiot, Merioneth and Montgom- ery, the provisions of the half-holiday" Order will not apply to workers who by agree- ment with their employers are entitled in each half year cither to a week's holiday on I'ii1! pay, or to payment of double pay for a i?-ork, ti;fi iii (7 week's work, and in Glamorgan and Mon- mouth a'id Yorkshire, that the provisions of the "half-holiday" Order shall not apply to workers who are entitled by agreement made in writing with their employers to :1 week's holiday on full pay in each half year, or to a fortnight's holiday Oil full pay in a year, or to paynviit of double pay for a week's work in each half Near or for a fortnight 'a work in each year. In llu case of Yorkshire, it is provided that the agreement made between employer an-f worker, with regard to this matter, mu<! be approved by the District \Vages Committee for the area. The Board resolved to incorporate all the foregoing variations in their Orders into a general Order to come into operation on October 6M>. WKKKLY WORK I NO 11 OCRS. At a in' eiin-- on Wednesday, specially cQn- Tened by the Chairman to consider a eom- ">ui!:catio!i received froai the President of the Board of Agriculture, directing 'he Agri- cultural AVages Board to reconsider their de- cision of the 22nd to rcdive the number of hours per week on which the minimum rates are based from 54 to 50 in October, and the' following summer. It. was ullanimolllr re- solved that the Board re-affirm their decision. The Hoard decided to hold their next mec'- ing on the 9th October. 1919.
FARM NOTES. I
FARM NOTES. I The total number cf fat cattle on offer at last week's markets showed a further increase, although supplies are still slight- ly below those ret urn ed at the cud of August. Most of the cattle coming to market are entirely grass fed, with no artificial feeding, consequently they aro not well finished and generally speaking weigh badly. Sheep and lambs continue to be offered in large nuirfbers, and last week's total showed a further substantial increase of about 9000, both London and Satford hav- ing considerably larger supplies. Calves for slaughter are slightly dearer, but are still cheap compared with other classes of meat. Pigs were agaiii in very short supply at Manchester and Birmingham, quite insufficient for the demand, but the numbers, although small, wero rather larger that last week. The improved trade noted for dairy cows was maintained and prices for the best cows s h owed a further advance, but the interior qualities and heifers without much show of milk were difficult to sell. Store sheep have been if anything in rather bet- ter demand, and are certainly no cheaper, in fact at several of the fairs trade is re- lented as rather better at slightly higher prices. At OHlislc store pigs were in im- proved demand at higher prices, but else- where trade was decidedly easier, prices for younger pig3 showing a pretty general fall of 2-, to 4s, and at Rugby about 7s, per head on the week. Land girls, with ropes, swam across a river in Staffordshire and rescued a cow that had got into the current. Owing to the railway striko Irish cattle intcnaoi for London market have been unloaded in various Welsh towns and put out to graze.
THE STRIKE AND ITS MENACE.…
THE STRIKE AND ITS MENACE. I (To the Editor of the Chronicle.) I S-ir,—Could anytuing be more disastrous and outrageous than that a whole nation is hold up as to its very existence almost by a Trades Union Talk of the Huns; they did regard us as their natural enemies and endeavoured to starve us. They are now re placed by a section of our own people doing the same thing in another way. How. therefore, can these strikers be regarded in any other light than as enemies, and should be dealt with as such. It seems extraordinary that Parliament is not summoned at once to meet the urgent emergency. Past Parliamcn in their blindness legalised Trades Unions and eventually "picketing" a "peaceful" (?) means of intimidating workmen who desire to be loyal to their employers and felJow- countrymen and continue their work, to prevent their doing so. The present state of our country shows just how the desire for maintaining political support, and holding political power led our former legislatures to make it possible for a body of workers to possess a power by which, by its abuse, they could paralyse the trade of the nation and starve its population. They sowed the wind and we are "reaping the whirlwind." In these circumstances it should be the work of the Government of the country to at once come together and pass stringent laws which shall for ever in the futuray render it beyond the power of any niair4 or body of men to do the like again. It is a crime against the nation and should be dealt with as such, and any p('r"On promoting or inciting to bring about a strike to the prejudice, danger, and a menace to the very existence of a whole people should be treated a criminal and liable to be sent to penal servitude for a long term of years. Drastic measures will alone serve; any- thing short would be regarded as a sign of weakness and dread of conscqucnees. A recurrence of such a strike As the pre- sent must be made impossible. Our tradesmen might aid in a measure at any future time to break the back" of this wicked and cruel strike. Thoy should de- cline to serve a striker or membef of his family with any commodity until all his other non-steiker customers have had their needs fully met, and refuse to give them credit. Let those who seek to use starva- tion" a a weapon to gain their own ends be the litst to bu "hoist with their own petard." Why not? No tradesman can possibly be at any disadvantage in this; he will have the satisfaction of knowing that he is helping to defeat tho scurrilous methods of the"'o enemies of all unoffending and peaceable men, women and children, and his coil- science would approve. As the Prime. Minister has urged all to continue in resisting these enemy strikers how powerfully can the tradesmen assist in maintaining the desired combination by lirst disposing of their goods to such cus- tomers who arc victims of the strike and not to tho-e who participate in or uphold it. It is. however, very regrettable to observe that profiteering still prevails not- withstanding the impending shortage of food, etc. In the street sound and good lemons are sold by a well-known hawker at two for one pennv. whilst in our mar- ket and ether establishments the charge for one lemon is from twopence to threepence. If the hawker can sell two for a penny and has a prolit, as he must have, what is the prolit taken from the public by dealers who charge 3d a for lemons? There is evideittly work for the Profiteering Com- ,mittee. and the sooner they deal with such cases as the foregoing the better. We have defeated the Herman Hun and now are up against the home Huns, im- pregnated with the spirit of Bolshevism, namely, strikers and profiteers, who have no claim to be regarded as anything but traitors to their country.—Yours, etc., A MATS IX THE STREET.

SHALL BANG OR LEAD? I
SHALL BANG OR LEAD? I (To the Editor of the Chronicle.) I Sir.—May I ask for the courtesy of your columns to make the following observa- t,lo.ii, viz. Sir Henry Lewis ha-s recently expatiated (in a loiter which appeared in the Chr/ipirU) on the urgent necesciity for the citizens of Brmg-or "waking up," if the present and future prosperity of the town is to be assured. It would be an impertinence on my part to criticise the suggestions of a gentleman of such mature experience in the affairs of the town. J m-i say, however, without presumption, that I consider his remarks most opportune and am, personally, in ell- tire agreement with most of them. Sir Henry's suggestion.* were. I appre- hCJld. more eoincemod with the future de- velopments of the town and are not, pcr- haps, of such supreme urgency a.s other matters which have since been brought into prom i nence. The present much-to-be-deplored railway strike—whether settled speedily or not. is bound to have far-reaching effects; an d it is in connection with the critical situation which wiU obtain this winter that I i% It to make a. few remarks. We were, as a nation, just beginning to rise after the crushing effects of the war. when we TP- ceived an ether blow—in the form of the railway strike—which has made us ga>p for breath. Rationing, which w as almost a thing of tho pR3t., has again been inflicted on us. 'lifie (All shortage. already acute, has been rendered a serious menace to tho health, and indeed tho life, of tho com- munity. The chief object of this letter is to direct attention to this. The remedy, so far .1'" Ba.ngor and ether similarly-placed towns, appears to mo to be had for the ask i 11 g\ I refer to the abundance of timber for- tunately within cur reach. I cannot under- stand why we have not yet availed our- S(IIVC, Cif TILIS Is it- F case of everybody's bu-inevss being' btisI or is it another instance of "red tape." which prevents our availing ourselves of nature Many of the trees in the Menai Woods could be cut dowll widF111t impairing the beauty of the surroundings, and there are innumerable smaller trees there, which are being strangled for want of space, and the removal of which woulli be better for the other trees, etc. There is also the range of timber running at the rear of High-street dOWl1 to the golf links entrance, and also tho tree; lining the shore to the open-air baths. And yet we talk cf the sufferings of the people for want of fuel. Again, we speak of unemp'oyment. and we have at our doors'an industry untapped —so far as Bangor is roncerned. I be- lieve we are training Colonials in forestry work. Surely the moment has arrived for training some of our own men to the mu- tual advantage of themselves and the town. Briefly. therefore, it appears to me that we should bo able to find remunerative em- ployment for men who are out of work, and provide cheap fuel to the people at a time when it is imperative that they should have it. It may be urged that the owners of the I timber may place obstacles in the way. I do not think there is a man to be found who would, in such circumstances, bQ, a party to any impediment being placed in the way of such good work. In any case, it appears to me that it is for the "oowers that be" to move in the matter with all expedition.—Yours, etc., J. PENTREATH JAMES. I
ECvKOIY THE VITAL QUESTION.…
ECvKOIY THE VITAL QUESTION. I (To the Editor of the Chronicle.) I Sir,—Sir Henry Lewis ha, rendered valu- able services to the city of Bangor in draw- ing attention of the rate{»ayor.s to the mat- ters enumerated in his two letters. Many, if not all are excellent in their oonccption, and worthy of sincere consider- ation, but the present time is inoppor- tune. The most important, urgent, and vital question, is economy. The fact is that most, if not aJl the municipal concerns are financial failures, and some have always proved themselves "white elephants." I suggest to Sir Henry- the need of his power and influence to investigate the causes for the failure of all these enterprises. Ban- gor is in the enviable position of having more losing concerns than any other town in Great Britain. The only economy care- fully and most seriously considered during recent years by the Council has been the wages of the working-classes, and on this they have a right to claim credit for giving a very real attention. The composition of the Council is ex- tremely weak. No wonder 1 Candidates seeking municipal honours lack courage and show signs of timidity in their election addresses; they invariably fear expressing their views, and this accounts largely why the Council has drifted into a state of inertia of the 'worst type. Let the old gang go. Sack the lot' Put men on the Council. The approaching elections will give the opportunity to elect new blood, and of the right kind.- Yours, etc., A RATEPAYER.
PROFITEERING IN FRUIT AND…
PROFITEERING IN FRUIT AND VEGETABLES. (To the Editor of the Chronicle.) Sir,—I read a letter in your paper a few weeks ago on the above subject. I am glad a local tribunal to deal with local I profiteering has been appointed, and I hope it will get to real work at once. Why is it that fruit and vegetables, not to mention other things, are so much dearc,r in Ba.ngor than in London and other places? I was in London a fortnight a.go, and saw- baking apples offered at 2d a lb., eating apples and pears at 4d a lb., Victoria plums at from 4d to Bd a lb., potatoes, 31bs. for 2d; bananas, one penny each; tomatoes, 4d a lb.; grapes, 8d and Is a lb., etc. These were the prices in respectable shops, not in the open-air markets, whero prices are still lower. Apples are offered at similar prices in Lon- don papers, and carriage is paid on quanti- ties of 251bs. and upwards. Other articles of food were also cheaper than at Ranger. I have never been in the habit of buying food. etc., out of Baiigor, and consider •such a practice to be deprecated; but the present prices of things, (not merely eat- able) in our city supply a strong motive to buy elsewhere. I do not say that Ban- gor tradesmen are guilty of profiteering, but there is certainly profiteering some- where. Let the Bangor Tribunal find out and deal with the evil as it deserves. Let me add that a firm of Australian merchants in London offers hoiwy at l1d a lb. I in London o  ers honfy at lid a ib. I havo tasted this hohey and never know- better. In June last I was in Liverpool, and found beautiful black grapes sold at Is 6d a, lb. At the same time the price at Bangor wa.s 2s 6d. Why all this differ- ence?—Yours truly, etc.. J.

SIR HORATIO LLOYD. CELEBRATES HIS 90th BIRTHDAY. Sir Iloratia Lloyd, the venerable Recorder, celebrated his ninetieth birthday on Monday. lie is the oldest Recorder in Enlalld, hay. ing occupied that office in Chester for fifty- five years. II is life as a public man has been full of varied and useful activity. For thirty- four years he filled the position of County Court judge for Chester and North Wales, following upon a very distinguished career at the Bar. lie had many interesting experiences as judge, but one unique episode which is at- ways recalled to mind is that of converting a first-c'a:<; railway carl-iage into a court of law. Sir Horatio llad beclI hearing a case at FIllIt County Court, in which the late -Judge Moss and Sir Ellis Griffith were opposing counsel, and, as the case had not terminated at the rising of the court and both judge and coun-el were anxious to catch a convenient train to Chester, it was decided that, His Honour should hear counsels' speeches in tho train, the stipulation being that one shoirtd addren; him for half the journey and tho other to reply during the remainder of the run Chester. Accordingly, in a reserved compartment, this arrangement- was carried out. and on arrival at. Chester, the judge jn. timated that lie wouid reserve his judgment. lit his younger days Sir Horatio was a noted oarsman and also a keen supporter ot the Volunteer movement, and was a-t one time captain of a company of Volunteers raised at Neston. He acted as one of the Commission- ers who sat to consider the question of Sunday closing in Wales, and at the conclusion of ihrtr labours he received the honour of knighthood. It is no secret that Sir Horatio was not one of the members of the Commis- sion in favour of Sunday closing, maintain- ing that working man was as entitled to his beer allowance on Sunday quite as well as those who wero able to go into their own cellars and obtain it.

FOOTBALL NOTES. I
FOOTBALL NOTES. I Owing to the railway strike Football on Saturday was played under difficulties, but in mO\t eases club managers had realised on Fri- day that the question of transport- had to be tackled, and arrangements were made ac- cordingly. Very few of the matches in which professional association teams were en- gaged were interfered with. :j: Several of the Northern Union matches had to be postponed while a large number of Rugby Union games were put off, mainly be- cause the players were unable to leave busi- ness in time to undertake a journey by car. it » 111 the 1st Division of the League there were a few surprises, and included amongst- them must be the victories of Everton over Sunder- land and of Burnley over Chelsea. In the Second Division Tottenham Hotspur gained their seventh successive victory. The Welsh team to meet England in the "Victory" International match at Stoke next Saturday" has been chosen as follows:- Peers (Wolverhampton); Goodwin (Oldham) and Russell (Plymouth); Hughes (Manchester City). Jones (Stoke), and Jennings (Bolton Wanderers); Meredith (Manrlm-ter United), Wynn (Manchester City), Matthews (Liver- pool). Jones (Southend) and Vizard (Bolton). it •» The, football match between the English League and the Irish Lcaglfe, which had been arrancd to be played on the Liverpool club's ground at Anfield on Monday next, has been postponed owin;to the railway strike. The officers of the 2-4th King's Own York- shire Light fufantry were the visitors in an interesting friendiy encounter with the Aber- gele team on Saturday Ideal football weath- er prevailed, and a big crowd witnessed a splendid ame. The homesters opened the scoring, but the final result was 5-4 in favour of the officers.

•p — i A.* {from thoio) Mr, ii, ¡RIM Bad Rheumatic Pains Cured at 70. More suffering and death are caused in modern times by kidney and bladder diseases than almost any other com- plaint. Many people suffer intense discomfort from the earlier symptoms— the rheumatic pains and bladder weak. nP!8s-but postpone seeking proper ad- vice or resort to useless liniments, draughts, and plasters, until the full grip of deadiy Bright's diseas.e is upon them I Gout, lumbago, sciatica, gravel, and i a t 1 L:.a' graN -e l 'an d bladder inflammation may beat be I averted by proper treatment as soon as you begin to feel that backache, to wako up with that headache ajid bad taste in the mouth, or suffer discomfort from constipation or weakness of the bladder. If the kidneys are out of orflfi- thq waste poisons of the body a,re retained in the blood instead of being filtered out of it by the kidneys and passing out through j he bladder. This waste mat- ter, which is called uric acid, collt-etm in t.he form of tiny s harp crystals- causing the rheumatic twinges in mus- cles and joints. If this proccss of lIelf- poisoning is allowed to continue, it will develop into a chronic dÜeå. You need a remedy that will tone up the kidneys to health. The most successful kidney remedy of modern times is De Witt's Kidney and Bladder Pills. Here is a caeo of a man who was cured at seventy years of age —In January, 1914, Mr Ilenry Trim, of 6, Orchard-street, Glastonbury, Somer- set. said: "I am a railway gas-fitt-er- and all my fellow-workers know how ill I was before I tried Do Witt's Kidney and Bladder Pille For several yArs I suffered from totrible YI-ieumatic pains and weakness of t-her bladder. I tried two doctors and several chemist's pre- scriptions, but only got worse. After taking a sample bottle of your pills I got relief, and after three more bottles I found that I was completely cured. I •shall recommend them to everyone. You may make whatever use you like of this testimonial for the benefit of | others." I Writing in March, 1919, five years | later, Mr Trim said "I am still Jeeping, well at the ago of 73. I have had no return of the backache or bladder weakness. I always keep your pills by me. I have recommended them in two cases, which they have cured absolutely. One of the^e was in the infirmary, and his case was given up. lie is now alive and well." De Witt' ? Kidney and Bladder Pills go straight to the kidners-purging the system oi the poisonous uric acid which causes so much disease. With- in 24 hours the pain is relieved, and a blue tinge in tho urine proves that the healing properties have passed through tho kidneys and bladder. Perfectly safe, tihey hardly ever fail to effect a complete cure.  A o Kidney & Bladder DeOT Wltj t j S Pills De Witt's Kidney and Bladder Pills are. sold only in wbitæ boxes, printed in blue and gold. You can obtain them from Boots' and all other first-class Chemists and Drug Stores at 2s 93 per box. or 5s for one two-and-a-half times as large—a great saving.

TY' N Y G ON G L. Many visitors who had intended leav- ing the district- on Saturday found themselves stranded owing to the railway crisis. In the. absence of news the majority deemed it inexpedient to go by co-iveyancos to Menai Bridge or Bangor. A few left on Sunday by motors. Mr John Jones. Y-gulw Fadog. prc. sided at the meeting of the Llanfair M.E. Parish Council, on Tuesday evening, at the Ty'nvgongl School. It was reported that the work of securing a water supply for the district near the school was proceeding satisfactorily, and the sub committee was authorised to make purchases to complete the work. Complaints were made as to the difficulty experienced by many in the neighbourhood in obtaining coal, especi- ally amongst those dependent on poriodic small quantities. It was felt that nothing could be done just at present, but the Sec- retary was asked to,obtain'information as to tho possibility of the Council being able to assi st in regulating the supply in the future. A report was received that a stile and foot-bridge on one of the parish paths had been destroyed. Two members were deputed to see to the repair of the bridge and path, and it was decided to offer a reward to anyone who can give in- formation leading to the punishment of the offenders.
