A HAPPY THOUGHT
One day last week Mr. D. J. Harris, of 9, Belmont Terrace, Badsey, sent some pots of marrows to Mr. O. Haines, of Smithfield Market, Birmingham. On the top of one of the hampers he put a marrow on which he had written:
“It is the wish of Mr. D. J. Harris, of 9, Belmont Terrace, Badsey, that whoever purchases this marrow will put it up for sale again, and give the proceeds to the nearest local Red Cross Hospital for the benefit of the wounded soldiers lying therein.”

A lecture on the war was held in the Council Schools on Friday evening. Mr. J. Sladden, in opening the meeting, gave an interesting description of the latest phase of the war – the bombardment of the Dardanelles. He explained the geographical situation, and the importance of forcing them. The supply of wheat and barley which could pass through from Russia would probably lower prices in this country.
