The Deahambaut farm was pur- Lhased by he Quebec Department of Agriculture it. 1919 as the rite for a provincial nursery. On it were crown she different varieties of apples and “Will fruits that the Department aimed to see prominent in the grim. (rowing program of the province. With commercial nurseries later or- ganizing their projects on a similar oasis, the need for a provincial num. iry disappeared, leaving the farm wailable for other purposes. For Wm.- L'me tar Department had been lesirous of establishing a provincial nehool farm. and here was their op- portunity. So, in the spring of 1931, he fonmer nursery farm was organ- zed into an educational unit for the aenefit of the district served. At Desehambault in Portneut Coun. g, alum 40 miles from the city at Quebec, is situated the Provincial Ichool Farm, the only agricultural stool owned outright by the Provin- gal Government.

FARMERS' SCHOOL. In addition to the foregoing, it be- ginning has been made in the farm’: main feature, i.e., the school for pros- pective farmers. In this 16 boys are at present learning how to msnage farms in accordance with modern practices, by doing actual work in the various departments featured and by learning from the Director and his mistants the "whrs and wherefores” If these method:. It is not proposed to extend this work too rapidly. PM ant arrangements provide for 30 stu- dents at a time, but as more than one iot of pupils mar be handled within a year. the ann 1a! number going back to their farms with this training may be greater than this. The program is being made as Bex- " as possible for the benefit of those Interested. There are no expense. utter for board or fees. While the boys all work and learn by actual "periener, occasional lectures are given on the various pluses ef the Foundation stock on the farm has been selected with the greatest care.

The result of the work that has been done with the members of boys' clubs can al- aeady be seen, although these boys iave had little systematic training.

Franck, the "Prince ot Vagabonds." "For, since I began my Itage car- eer, i've been setting Harry Louder Jokes on the go, and they've given me more publicity than anything also i've done." But the best Lauder Joke it: this! “The greatest sorrow of my career," he sighs, "is that I have never been given a chance " the leading man In tragedy: something nice and tear-rau- ing, like 'King Lear,' or 'Hamlet/ I've always had the moat absolute convic- "A retired Iaundryman living on East 7th Street in New York City receives a yearly pension ot about $200 trom the estate ot Charlega Ii. Two hundred and htty-some years ago one ot the iaundryman’s ancestors con- cealed the king after his defeat at the battle ot Worcester, and that night Charles was able to make his escape in disguise. A peep at John D. Rockefeller playing a round ot golf is given by John T, Flynn (in God's Gold: John D. Rockefeller and His Times"): "He had the usual difficulty keep ins his eye on the ball," says Flynn. "Hence his caddy was instructed to stand in front ot him as he prepared to swing repeating over and over, 'Keep your head down! Keep your head down!' Those who have played with him are a unit in saying that Rockefeller is scrupulous in report- ing his score. He never fools him- self. Rockefeller himself complained to a friend 'that he was sorry to say he had met ministers who did not hesitate to cheat a h't on the linha.' " "At his restoration the king gave his saviour a pension in perpetuity ot a hundred marks, which today am- ounts to almost fifty pounds. Regular- ly every year an old firm of London solicitors receives this sum from the trustees ot King Charles/s estate and pays it over to the most direct living descendant ot the king's benefactor, though he and his forebears have long since been American-born and not sub- ject to the kings ot England." Extraordinary! The best golf score ever made by Mr. Rockefeller is 39 for nine holes, according to Mr. Flynn. As this rs. presents a possible 78 for 18 holes and was made when the famous oil man was 73 years old, it is consider- ed a remarkable score, particularly since he did not take up golf until he was nearly 60 years old. The score was made October 30, 1912, and is vouched tor by a friend who has played over 500 games with Mr. Rockefeller. "One of the funniest jokes I've ever heard," chuckles Sir Harry Lauder (in "Wee Drappies"-a cheery little book), "concerns a certain noble lord. Perhaps I shouldn‘t tell it, but he himself often repeats it at dinners, so he'll forgive me. "The..tamily name ot the Marquess ot Linlithgow is Hope. It was Jame years ago that the then Tiarquess with his family, entered their local church and walked down the aisle just u the preacher was giving out his text: “Life is full at blasted hopes'" "Perhaps it'll be news to you to know that Mr. Henry Ford got the idea ot a joke-factory from me, and asked me to come and run it for him!" chirp: the genial Scottish comedian. Reminiscences "Once I played a trick on Harry," confesses Sir Thomas. "Usually he had one ot my cars to drive him to and trom the London theatres where he was working because, as he him. self explained, it was not worthwhile bringing his own car trom Scotland tor a week or two only! So one evening I arranged that instead ot the usual limousine one ot the factory delivery vans would be waiting for him when he t1nltshed his last 'tshow.' "I made certain that he would re. fuse to come home In it and hire I taxi. But no, home to Osldge he came Mention ot Harry Lauder reminds me ot a. story told by his old friend Sir Thomas Lipton tin "Lipton'tt Autobiography.") it seems that Lau- der on his professional visits to Lon. don more often than not, lived with Sir Thomas and made himself at home. "It was very amusing to hear him give his pointed instructions to 'John,' one ot my Cingalese servants," says Lipton, and he adds, jocuiariy: "I sometimes thought that John and the other servants were not very sure who woe ‘bos o' the hoose' at such timetr-- Sir Harry Lauder or myself! tion, folks (entirely in confidence, mind), that I'd like tae play Hamlet. But ye will not let me, and I take it hard o' re." Those who have hiard Sir Harry sing "Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep" will understand-it not appre- ciate--hig yearning.
