Pushing PIoW.

WINNIPEG, Manitoba, June H.
Guiding a pillow across an Alberta
farm all day and paying $500 a year
for the privilege Of doing so does not
appeal to Lord Edward Montagu,
son of the Duke of Manchester, Kim
bolton Castle, Huntingdonshire.
Lord Edward is on his way back
home He has chucked his job on
a farm near Edmonton, Alberta,
owned by Lord Rodney, another
English nobleman.
Rodney, according to his knighted
farm hand, conducted a farming
school and the boys had to be up
and away at in the morning.
Knocking off time came at $50 in
the evening and then came the
browning indighity of all-no horses
for riding after the days work was
done.
Lord Edward learned how to milk
a COW, clean out the stable and WELD
a pitchfork. But he has had enough
and from now on will attend very
much to the business Of being
titled gentleman.
