DRYGOODS CLERK BECOMES FARMER Hard Work Means Success On Right Spot, He Says Kelwood, Man., Dec. 1—The rise from a hard working dry goods clerk to one of the most successful farmers in the northwest is the story of John Hamilton. For twenty-five years clerked in a store in Ontario. a wife and a large fanyly, and little to show for his hard labor. “Hard work,” he used to say in those days, “meang success only when you do it in the right ae As he wasn’t su ful, he con- cluded he wasn’t working in the right spot, so he moved, to western Mani- toba and took up a farm in the raw bush near, Kelwood. ‘That was twelve years ago. With the aid of his sons he cleared his land and started farming. He knew nothing abont agriculture. He could hardly hook up a team or hold a ploy in a furrow. But he had made up his mind to be a farmer and he knew there was a way to learn. He took up the study of scientific farm- ing. He worked hard all day and poured over his books and journals half the night. He learned how. He found that the science of mak- ing two blades of anything to grow where one grew before and improv- ing grains jand garden truck “was after all, a fascinating study. He be- gan to select his seeds carefully and to breed his growing things from the hest stock he was able to gather from his fields. At the recent International Soil Products Exposition, John Hamilton won thirteen prizes on wheat, blue stem and western rye grass, flax, po- Hamilton iatoes, field peas, corn and squash, His hard red spring wheat was beaten only by that exhibited by Seager Wheeler, the famous wheat wizard of Canada. John Hamilton today is one of the wealrhiest farmers in this district, ROTHSCHILD GOT 390,000 WHEN LONG SHOT WON London, Dec. 1. — Baron James Rothschild’s winnings when his horse, Brigand, won the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket recently are stated to to- tal approximately $390,000.

The day before he won $40,000 on his horse Tagrag, which captured a race at ¥ to 1. Lord Rothschild has always been noted for the iarge amount of money he has spent in endeavoring to bring off “longer shots” in connection with his own hors During the final big meeting of the flat racing for the sea- son at Newmarket. he had several horses entered and two of his notable “long-shots were winners, Lord Rothschild is’a popular figure in the racing world and is famous for his qu decisions in betting, Apa't from this he is. noted for his wit and is a brilliant conversationalist. He has a fine war record, having driven motor-lorries in Ser and served with the French flying corps, He was lambed by a bad motor smash doring his war services, Recently he lost the sight of on> eye which struck 1b 1 golf ball while he was playing in France.

CANADIANS TO TAKE POST-GRADUATE WORK IN FRENCH SCHOOLS Edmonton, Alia., Dec. 1.—Dr, Phil- lipe Roy, Canadian commisioner to Paris, has devised a plan whereby a limited number of Canadian ‘colleg2 students may ‘take a post-graduate course in Parig through the nid ‘of state funds. His plan is based upon the world- famed Cecil Rhodes scholarship ‘plan, which has -enabled hundreds of students from all parts of the world to take /post-graduate courses at Ox- ford and Cambridge. \ Dr. Roy proposes that each of the nine provinces provide ‘five .scholar- ships, Ontario and Quebec already. haye agreed, and the consent of the other provinces is expected. Besides placing the plan ‘before the provincial governments, Mr. Roy also ‘is obtain ing the endorsements of university authorities, public organizations, an] clubs, These are being asked to pro- vide a home for the students in Paris while they are pursuing their studies at the great French universities. ‘While these post-graduate courses are calculated to bring about a etter understanding between Canada and France, Dr. Roy further proposes that on ‘the completion. of the courses, the students returning ‘to Canada shall de- vote at least part of their time to lecturing. The plan is strongly favored by Canadians. There is a general fecling that the friendly relations created by. the war between the two countries shall be kept alive and intensified.
