fI0SyDgIlAAzY1.

This is the story of how Mrs.
Haviland H. Lund came to found
the "Forward-to-the-F league
Some thirty odd years ago Mrs
Lund was born of a Quaker family
on a Montana farm. Having finished
her education, she went to Chicago,
where - spent much OF her time
on PHI Hropic work.
II saw overcrowded slums," she
said, filled with natives and for
tigners who depended on charity TO
help them because they couldn't
help themselves; who were eager
for work but unable to get il; who
would give anything for home in
the heart of the country"
So did the sight of these things
wear on the nerves of Mrs. Lund
that she soon found herself Obliged
to take a rest cure. Her manner of
doing so was to take up a home
stead at Tucson, Ariz.. and work
her own land.
Now she found a different kind Of
picture.
Here was land. bare land, lying
fallow and deserted because there
was no man at hand to make il
work-acres of it by the thousand
crying out for cultivation, and peo-
pie by the thousands crying out for
the chancei
Why should it not be possible TO
bring the two together? Mrs. Lund
set herself to a solution of this
problem. That was some ten years
ago. She has been at it ever since.
hn Eh
repaired to Los Angeles, where she
started paper, called the Little
Farms Magazine.
1t was to warn investors and to
combat INSCRIPTIONS land brokers
that Mrs. Lund conducted that
paper in Los Angeles. And it thriv-
ed and was prosperous until the
land brokers grew active and on
a technicality got an injunction re-
straining its sale.
The politicians in Los Angeles
having proved too powerful, she
determined to come east after that.
Her headquarters for a while were
made in New York, where she start
ed her league. All the time she was
bringing her work to more con-
| crete shape. Only when she had
definitely decided on a program did
she found her great league.
1t is on the principle that man is
meant to be a social. not a segre-
gated being that Mrs. Lund has
drawn up her scheme.
THE standard we set forth" she
said, requires at least fifty farms,
fully equipped with animals and
implements and OF not less than
| FIVE acres.
And the families for these farms
must go out as units under the di-
rection Of a market expert and ag-
/ ricultural instructor"
She has waged her fight prac-
tically single-handed all her life

ing rural Amortization a petty. per-
sonal gain. The object of her flight
is better citizens who are home
