Correspondence on chaff prices in Western Australia
A reader questions chaff pricing and freight costs from Jennacubbine to Perth. They compare a quoted price of £9 17s 6d per ton for chaff with higher local rates and query whether prices reflect truckload or per ton terms and whether freight from Northam and Perth alters the cost. They cite a soldier friend in England noting higher bread prices in Australia and seek clarification on market efficiency.

Identifying Twins in the London Scottish Regiment
The Daily Chronicle recounts how Ralph and Lindsay Brown, twin sons of Mr. Brown of Manor House Bowes Park, were nearly indistinguishable. Officials even ordered Ralph to grow a moustache to tell him apart. Both rose through ranks together, and their merit led to special War Office recommendations, with reports differing only by their initials.
