Recently there came under the notice of 'the land settlement inquiry branch of the Queensland Lands Department an instance of the perseverance and pluck of a German woman who arrived in that State some weeks ago. She knows very little of the English language. She is middle aged. She has decided to take up a selection in Queensland. Recently she inspected land in the Dawson \ alley, but returned £o Marmora, between Rockhampton and Gladstone, and desires to settle there. The lady is Frau Francisca Pryggoda. Her whole outfit is carried in a miniature German waggon, which she draws by hand. She proposes to go into the hush and fell some timber, and sow boons and other vegetables, which will keep her going until, she can get more land under cultivation. Her capital is so small that the officers of the department are perplexed to advise her, for fear she may not he able to get along until her land brings her in some return. She does not, liowevot, share their fears. Your best companion on your weekend trip is a packet of Regent Cigarettes, Smoke them and share m the Great Free Gift Scheme. x
