Another bill proposed by the naval

With respect to this measure, Mr..

of the government if it were possible

turers of naval supplies to avail

He's Just Old Friend.
lie may convulse British politics.
nc may shake empires. but when he
arrives at Criccieth he is just their
old friend, David. They like the man
who grew up with them; in fact. they
love him. But there is no particular
respect and certainly no awe of him.
What he has done is nothing more
than any son of Criccicth should and
ought to do.
In fact, it is part of their self-ap-
pointed duty to prevent him becom-
ing swollep-headed and vainglorious.
1t is their privilege TO keep him in
his place. And affection cannot be
allowed to butt in.
Six days ago Lloyd George took
three OF us along to his old Sunday
school. We were to hear the school
supcrintendent's address. The prime

real secret of the greatness of Wales.

drive him out of the premiership.

"This is the heir. Come, let us
kill him, and the inheritance shall

ment of the premier, with a some
what sickly smile. And he stayed a
very little time after that.
But the school superintendent
meant it all for the best Anything
approaching the besetting sin of
vanity was entirely contrary to his
principles.
Yet, despite these occasional re-
bluffs, the prime minister of England
enjoys himself better at Criccieth
than anywhere else. So does his
wife. In fact. she is in the highest
element of bliss. Here she is the
farmers daughter over again

When He Digs Potatoes.
And when one reads the stories of
Lloyd George digging potato fur
rows in the garden for relaxation it is
really falsehood. What has hap

And when lie is not slicing his
