HOME ON A FARM.
IS ALL THIS BOY
WANOERER WANTS
Thirteen-Year-0Id Edward Ken
nedy, Parentless, Is in
House of Detention.

What I'd like morn anything in
the world / can think of. is to get a
job in the country, where a Teller en-
work without anybody bein' at him all
the time, and where he's got a nice
warm barn to sleep in every night
AS he dwelt on this prospect, the eyes
of 1~3-year-old Edward Kennedy bright
ened; his gaze apparently was unob-
structed by the barred walls of the
House of Detention, which is his tenn
porary home, and he seemed to be see
ing the open stretches he had heard so
much about, for Edward knows the
country only by reputation.
It was his ambition to and on a
really. truly farm that stranded Edward
in Newark. He started via the side
door Pullmans from his home in Scran-
ton, with a ~friend-Jack Davis-Who
boasted an uncle on a farm near Syta-
cuse, N. Y.
Lost His Pal, Jack.
Hunger drove Jack off the flying
freight near Newark, but the train was
going too fast for Edward, and he had
to stick until Jersey City was reached.
II got on a wagon comm back and got
to Newark" said the lad, but l didn't
see Jack again. Maybe he VAS lookin'
for me, too, but | guess he got to think
in ! was too little and didn't try to find
me-"
Market street newsboys befriended
the small wanderer, and after a visit to
the First Precinct police station he was
sent to the House of Detention, where
he is hoping some one who lives out in
the country will come after him and
give him a lone.
81 have never been in the country"
Edward frankly admitted today, but
| heard these fresh-air kids tell all
about it-about the fields and how
they had more trees out there than
they wanted, and about the brooks
and everything, and / made up my
mind if l could just get out there and
stay that / wouldn't want much of
anything else,
Wants to Get on Farm.
Since my father and mother died a
month after each other" continued
the lad, and his eyes filled with tears
as he recalled this double tragedy, Il
haven't had no regular place to stay.
The huckster | worked for gave me
25 cents a day. but that wasn't any
more'n enough to buy secondhand
clothes and something to eat, and 1
had to sleep round in cellars and
halls. When they told me bou those
barns out on the farms filled up with
hay it sounded awful good to me. Do
you know a farmer who would like to
get a boy about my size that's willin'
to work hard and learn all about bein'
a farmer
Superintendent Daniel f. Delaney. of
the House of Detention, thinks that
anyone who adopts Edward Kennedy
will get a prize, as he is one of the
brightest boys admitted to the home
in a long time. He is already a ia
vorite with the attendants, who will be
genuinely sorry to see him go, if some
one drives up and whisks him away to
ono of those wonderful farms he has
been dreaming of so long.

Free Courses in Agriculture.

The winter courses in general agri-
culture, given at College of Agricul-
ture, University of Maine, promise
even better results and larger attend
ance this year than last. 1t is a
recognized opportunity for practical
grasp of the more scientific side OF
farming, of which hundreds of young
Maine farmers should avail themselves.
1t is a chance to absorb something OF
university life at the same time the
farmer student is adding dollars and
ideas to his own business. No fees or
tuition of any kind are charged, and
board and rooms are reasonable.
1t seems to us that the young or
middle aged farmer who has not the
of agricultural sehooi
training, can we'll afford to avail him
self of such an opportunity. 1t is the
getting in touch with those who know
that helps. 1t is the opening OF the
way for your young folks to a broad
er field than your own.
These are days of progress and new
ideas, exchange of knowledge and
more ready grasp of vital principles
Farmers no longer farm by the moon

leaves; he learns his soil, it's needs and
what it will produce. He understands

raise in his zone" and the best sea
son and seed for his land. But every
| day there are new things to learn and

; good old way" gets left. ~
