Willed by Queen Alexandra. By the Associated Press. LONDON, February 20.—King George and Queen Mary have just moved into Sandringham House, the Norfolk estate of the Windsor family, which has become the personal prop- | erty of the sovereign by the will of Queen Alexandra. Sandringham is now the only one of the many properties visited each | year by their majestles, which is owned by the King and not by the state. King Edward bought the coun- try mansion when he was Prince of | Wales and willed. it to his queen. Sandringham was the favorite resi- dence of King Edward and Queen Alexandra, as it is with the present | soverelgns. At Buckingham Palace, Holyrood Palace, Balmoral and Wind. sor Castles the royal family must koist their standard above the roof and live in the luxury which the state provides, but at Sandringham they live like the family of a country gentleman, with only the cares and freedom of country folk. York Cottage, also on the Sand- ringham estate, now has been left vacant by the King, but probably will not be allotted to the Duke and Duchess of York, as at first supposed, because of the possible marriage of the Prince of Wales, who by prece- dent becomes the householder at the cottage. Sandringham House was entirely redecorated under the supervision of moved in. The heavy Victorian dra- peries and red plush carpets were taken out and modern improvements built in. This makes the royal home the envy of the richer subjects which live in the neighborhood. SPEAKS FOR.FARM—GIRLS. Dr. Mead Says They Make Only Good Farmers' Wives. A farmer’s ambition to become suc- cessful may be helped by marrying a girl brought up on the farm, in the opinion of Dr. Elwood Mead, commis- sioner of reclamation. One of the questions now put by the bureau to all applicants for farms on reclamation projects asks whether, if they are married, their wives have had experience with farm life. “That question is far more import- ant than many others on our ques- tionnaire,” Dr. Mead said. “I knew of | ponsors was | P T ESETE SRR R TR TR T THE SUNDAY The H Buy your furniture on the Budget Plan.
