If anj when it is possible to run to earth David Lloyd George, prime minister of Great Britain, uncrowned king of Wales, powerful politician in Europe, then the best thing to do is to seek him in hit own native village. It is there you get him in the proper perspective. 'Why, what ever! If it is not Mr. I.loyd George I Come in, David. What a stranger, indeed! Hut you are not looking well? That London nir is bad for all, I am told. And how is Margaret, George? She is well, indeed.' your sons? have just been telling my boys that if they do not do their lessons they will never be prime ministers of England!" Stir li is the creeling, hurled in flu cnt but cordial WeUh, to the prime minister when he calls on a cottager's wife in Wales. He's Just Old Friend. He may convulse British politics, he may shake empires, but when he arrives at Criccieth 'he is just their old frientl. 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 linn. What he has done is nothing more than any son of Criccieth should and ouRht to do. In fact, it is part of their self-appointed duty to prevent him becom ing swollen-headed and vainglorious. It is their privilege to keep him in his place. And affection cannot be sllowed to butt in. Six days ago Lloyd George took three of us along to his old Sunday school. We were to hear the school superintendent's address. The prime minister wished us to understand the real secret of the greatness of Wales. We were glad to fall in with his wishes. He had been worried and distrait. His government had been almost split asunder: he was the vic tim of plots and intrigues. Half a dozen sections were attempting to drive him out of . the premiership. Anvthmsr that gave him a sense ot relief was a benefit in every way. - Parable for Premier. And so the school superintendent gave out his text. It was from St. Mark, xii: 1-13: "The Parable of the Wicked Husbandman." "Thisf is the heir. Come, let us kill him,- and the inheritance shall be ours. And they took him and killed hiin and cast him out of the vineyard." "There seemed to be bolsheviks even in those days" was the com 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 begetting sin of vanity was entirely contrary to his principles. ' ' Yet, despite these occasional re buffs, 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 farmer's daughter over again capable, supreme and confident. v 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 a falsehood. What hajs hap pened is that Mrs. George has found him a job that she considers really useful, although she admits that he is little good at it. In fact, once he has set a row of potatoes with in finite labor she usually comes along and drs the work all over again. Brought up in a little four-roomed, home-made cottage by Criccieth the walls built of huue stones laborious ly carried from the seashore Lloyd George now lives in the swaggcrest- lookmg-house near the village. In appearance it lacks all elaboration and resembles the country home that anv American business man with $16,000 to spare would be like ly to erect for his family. But the house possesses a wonder ful outlook. The sun shines on it all day, and from any one of its four sides there is a clear and. wonderful uninterrupted view of 50 miles. The premier can look right out across the Irish sea; he can view the an cient towers of his beloved Carnar von castle; from the porch he can see the wonderful white-tipped peaks of Snowden. At his feet lie the vil lage and the, bay. When one has seen his home' it is possible to visual ize the perorations of his speeches when he interprets everything- in terms of the rugged mountains, the surging sea and the beautiful woodlands. Scenery Index to Character. . And this scenery is an index to his character, A man who, comes of a race who have earned a scahty liv ing op the sea and have literally scratched existence out of soil main ly conmosed of rocks fears little either in the shape of personalities or difficulties. For relaxation, when not discuss ing in Welsh local affairs with his village mates, Lloyd George has either fishing or the crazy Criccieth links. He is not a very good fisher man, although he seems to get all the pleasure in the world out of it. But he certainly passes a lot ot time on the beach digging out what are known as "razor-fish," an ugly species of the shell variety Which he pretends to be edible in the highest degree. Still the links are his greatest joy. And nobody has' ever seen or heard of golf links like those of Criccieth. To the uninitiated observer they seem to be built around the tops of three fair-sized mountains, with stark, uninviting sides of limestone and slate. Incidentally, they are in tersected by tihy farms, and conse quently there is no need for artifi cial bunkers, because every 50 yards one runs into a stone fence about 12 feet high. "' Eighteenth Hole Is Pride. But the 18th hole is the pride of the locality. One drives off the top of a steep hill; at the bottom of the hill is a sunken cattle track; then comes the green, invitingly sloping downward, after that there is a more CrtccUtlv. pronounced slope toward an enor mous pigstye. And woe betide the man who drives cither too long or too short I But Lloyd George thinks them the finest links in the world. He wants llraid, Vardou and Ray all to come and give him their candid opinion ot them, because he fears no criticism. Up on these lulls he is hail-fcllow-wcll-mct to all the world and in the wonderful air on the hilltops both his health and spirits seem visibly to Im prove. And when lie is not slicing his drive or missing an easy putt it is al most possible to imagine that be does not care whether he is ever prime minister again or not Retail Food Prices Decrease for March Washington, April 11.

Compul sory retirement ot naval omcers reaching 60 years of age: or having served 10 years, if the president so desires, is proposed m a bill intro duced by Chairman Page of the sen ate naval committee upon recom mendation of Secretary Denby. Another bill proposed by the naval Page would repeal the law prohibit-' ing employment or retired naval or marine corps officers by private companies furnishing supplies to the government. " With respect to this measure,' Mr. Denby stated that there was no sim- .lar restrictions on army or foreign officers and the department believed that it would be to the advantage of -the government if it were possible for shipbuilders and other manufac turers of . naval supplies to avail themselves or tne service ot retired officers.
