. David Lloyd George, who served Britain as
prime minister in World War l and who still
remains, in his 81st year, of the great political
influences of the British Empire, considers him
self farmer rather than politician.
He has great satisfaction in supervising his
huge 5OO-acre farm at Churt in Surrey. The
white-maned veteran of Versailles would much
rather walk wrapped in a long black cloak, and
inspect his crops of potatoes, his apple trees his
pigs and products which he liked to exhibit at
agricultural shows, than stroll the aisles of Par.
lament or the House of Commons.
He always was great believer of agricultural SUI
premacy and at one time during his tenure as Prime
Minister in World War l he ordered all the country
estates of the well. do turned into munitions
factory. He asked the wealthy to pillow up their spa
cious grounds and plant war foodstuffs.
Today he personally bosses his big farm, and has
the women and children in the neighborhood helping
harvest his magnificent crops.
AS he says: Il am done with leadership. shall con
tinue 10 give advice whether II Is wanted or not be-
cause believe it TO be my duty to place my expert
ence at the service Of the country"
He married his private secretary Of 30 years, Miss
Frances L. Stevenson, S. just recently During the
peace conference after World War she described
as the The Blonde Bewilderment of Versailles be
her striking good looks seemed almost inappro.
pirate in such solemn surroundings.

rich deposit Of silver was found in
the Bohemian valley of Joachims-

was taken over by the Count Won
