MUCH KELP GOES TO WASTE
Tons of Material Might Be Harvested
Yearly Along the Pacific Coast,
Says Authority.
A year’s output of potash from the
kelp of Puget sound would bring
| $6,000,000 at the present war-time
| prices, according to Prof. George B.
Rigg of the botany department of
the University of Washington.
Kelp is abundant and easily ac
cessible in the sound, said Doctor
Rigg in a recent lecture, and three
factories might be kept busy every
working day of the year, each pro
ducing 5,000 tons of muriate of pot
ash yearly. Each would consume
500 tons of the seaweed daily. Ordi
narily the year’s production of 15,
000 tons of potash on the sound
would be worth $600,000, the aver
age price being about $40 a ton. At
present it brings about $400 a ton.
Fifty thousand tons of kelp could
be harvested yearly along the Pacific
coast, Doctor Rigg asserted. The
beds lie from Mexico to western
Alaska, but are of course not all
commercially accessible. All the beds
belong to the states adjacent, and no
laws have ever been passed restrict
j ing the harvest. The kelp is free to
j anyone who wants it,
SMALL LOSS.
Miss Cutting—Did you attend the
football game, Mr. Sapleigh ?
Sapleigh—Yaws, and the excite
ment was so gweat for a time that
I—aw—actually lost me head, don
L cher know.
Miss Cutting—Indeed ! And how
did you happen to discover the loss?
NOT UNPRECEDENTED.
She—A woman out West went in
to grazing and cleaned up a fortune.
He—Euth went gleaning and
cleaned up Boaz.
NOT A SUCCESS.
“How about Hamfat’s new vaude
ville act? Does he get it over?”
“Not soon enough to suit the audi
ences, apparently.”

THE WAY OF PRIDE.
Pride had just fallen.
“Well,” he-exclaimed, as he shook
the dust off himself, “that was some
fall, anyhow.”
ITS NATURE.
“Do you think a telephone opera
tor could look on his busmens as a
profession ?”
■‘Well, it certainly is a calling.”
TAKING BOTH.
“Take my advice, boy, and nee the
girl you marry is a good plain cook.”
“But why couldn’t I marry a good
pretty one, dad ?”
D AU NTL ESS DA ME S.
“The Britons seem to be rather
discouraged because they are not any
I nearer victory now than they were
months ago.”
i “Quite so. I wish some of their
statesmen could come over here and
see how our suffragettes bear up un
der defeat.”
