It is always known that seaweed
contained a large quantity of Iodine,
but today it is used in the manufac
ture of a certain kind of cloth, while
certain species are eaten under the
names of "dulse," "stoke" and "cur

and Devonshire seaweed is used for
a large number of purposes; there

are in a better position than erer

MRS. LUND BOOMS "LITTLE FARM" PLAN.
Mrs. Havlland H. Lund of Los An
geles, Cal., one of the leading advo
cates of the "little farm" Idea, is now
ln the east organizing local branches
of the National Forward to the Land
league.
One of the objects of the league is
to purchase tracts of land on the out
skirts of the big cities throughout the
United States and subdivide them in
to one acre farms, to be equipped and
turned over to the Industrious poor.
Mrs. Lund has succeeded In In
teresting many prominent people,
who have pledged their moral and fi
nancial support.
"I am of the opinion," said Mrs.
Lund, "that our idea is one of the few
logical solutions for the living prob
lem of many of the big cities' poor.
The plan has been in operation for
several years near San Diego, Cal.,
and has proved successful in every
way. The hearty interest your lead
ing men and women seem to be tak
ing in the cause certainly gives me great pleasure and encouragement.
"There is plenty of land ln the vicinity of all large cities which will find
its greatest productiveness under the efforts of the small tract farmer."
A. WENDELL JACKSON'S MIGHTY COUP
rWho's Jackson?"
A lot of bankers have been asking
this question during the past few
days.
Jackson? Why, he's the same per

six-powers group of bankers repre

was only a boy of six when Jackson,
Sr., decided to pioneer it to Califor
