GOVERNOR VISITS STRICKEN GUI CHIEF EXECUTIVE INSPECTS DEV ASTATED ZONE. CONSOLES MEN AND WOMEN The Covernor Says, “This Is Enough Like My Conception of Hell to Suit Me." “This is enough like my conception of bell to suit me!" This was the declaration of Gov ernor John H. Morehead at the Pax-! ton hotel as he completed a trip | through the devastated zone. Governor Morehead, Adjutant Gen- j eral Phil Hall of the state militia,! Representative E. D. Mallory, Nels I Updike of Omaha and ten or fifteen others came to the stricken city at j the urgent request of Mayor James C. Dahlman. The governor, with Mayor Dahlman, Henry W. Dunn, chief of police; Dan Butler, city commissioner, and news paper representatives, in automo biles. made a trip of inspection througii the tornado’s path. hundreds of helpless Inmates, was happily spared, all of the bams and outhouses of various sorts were swept clean. Ambitious golfers on the Field club links and on the verandas of the clubhouse, saw the work of devasta tion in progress. The western boun dary lay along the Falls City branch of the Missouri Pacific until Forty eighth and Leavenworth streets was reached, when the tornado .seemed to swerve still more to the northeast. Twenty-five Killed in One House. The recovery of thirteen bodies from the ruins of the ldlewild ball at Twenty-fourth and Grant streets, in addition to the finding of parts of sev eral other bodies, leads to the belief that fully twenty-five negroes lost their lives in that building. To Feed the Needy. Belshazzar’s bano.uet may have been the prize feast of olden times, but there are those in Omaha who say its reputation for bigness won’t be worth a rush when compared with the plans laid for feeding the homeless and pen niless tornado victims over at the Auditorium. This spread may not have some of the trimmings of that ancient ban quet, but for quality and ability to "stick to one's ribs,” to resort to the language of the street, it will have it on Belshazzar's layout like a tent. Whereas history records that but a thousand sat down to eat with the pagan king, it is expected that twice this number will be fed at the Audi torium every twelve hours. A glance at these figures will prove that Bel shazzar's spread was a cafeteria lunch in comparison with the dinners to be SCENE AT LAKE AND 24TH STREET, OMAHA Just as day was breaking the party reached Forty-second and Leaven worth streets. South ot this place the storm started on its trip of death and destruction across the town. From this point the party traversed the entire wasted district. “It's awful—awful!” Governor More bead remarked before the trip was thirty minutes old. Governor Consoles Bereaved. Leaving his machine the governor walked down through the streets, choked with debris, and in dozens of places went into the wrecked homes and personally consoled the bereaved and distracted men and women. Gov ernor Morehead’s presence seemed to bring a feeling of relief. The afflict ed citizens realized that the state’s chief executive was here to aid them in every way possible. Down toward Fortieth and Farnam the autos proceeded. Here was a scene of chaos. Again the governor got out of his car and personally in spected the ruins. In this fashionable residence sec tion of the city, where many of the town's richest men and women live, there was scarcely a home left intact. Business blocks were razed as if with an explosive. Great ten and twelve room houses were setting askew on their foundations, and others had been swept clear of their fastenings. Down Fortieth street the motor cars proceeded, oftentimes being unable to progress till the roadway had been freed of debris. Homes where men and women had been rescued by policemen and firemen were pointed out, and Governor Morehead stopped more than once to personally com mend some of the officers and fire fighters who had been constantly on duty through the night. Five Public Schools Wrecked. Five public school buildings lay in the track of the twister, and all of them were badly damaged. Brownell Hall Is Not Damaged. Because of the anxiety of parents in Iowa and Nebraska, the principal of Brownell Hall has announced that the hall was not damaged any by the storm and none of the girls were in jured. Where Destruction Began. The eastern boundary of the death strewn course at this point seemed to be the county hospital and poor farm. Although the main building, with its served the stricken men and women. Here are a few of the things oa hand already: Half a hundred bushels of potatoes. Fifty pounds of butter. Almost a carload of bread. Coffee in sufficient quantity to make hundreds of gallons of the beverage. Gallons of cream and milk for the coffee and for the little folks who don't drink either tea or coffee. Hundreds of pounds of beef and pork. In bringing to Omaha the unen viable distinction' of being the scene of the most disastrous tornado to property in the history of the United Startes, not even excepting that of St. Louis over a decade ago, the big twister plainly marked its path, the width of which may be measured in feet and inches. Great residences and buildings were cut so cleanly in two that a mathematician might employ the calipers in aligning the exact razor edge of the storm. As far as can be ascertained the twister started upon its career of hor ror somewhere in Cass county, wiping out the town of Yutan and then strik ing through Waterloo and Ralston. Its zig-zag course was baffling and many towns report losses which indi cate that the main stem of the tor nado was constantly giving off small er twisters which acted as flankers with the deadly intent of making a clean sweep over the outlying terri tory. Gretna and Union and Millard felt the force of the wind, but the Mef disaster lay in the path of the big, wide, all-powerful cloud which entered Omaha almost exactly at the city limits on Center street. Waterspout on Lake. A terrible but beautiful spectacle accompanied the crossing of a lake, when the twister sucked the water high into the air, a real waterspout The cottages along the lake were mostly destroyed, the Illinois Central trestle obliterated and scores of store buildings wrecked. At this point the width of the path is said to have been nearly half a mile wide. Crossing the Missouri river, the twister struck the bluffs and seemed to turn southward. That this was the case is evident from the damage done in the city of Council Bluffs, which reports that the storm came from the north. • Eight Reported Killed. Between Bartlett and Pacific Junc tion, on the Iowa side of the river, it is reported that Ed Lambert, a farmer, and two children were killed by a cy clone that struck there shortly after 6 o’clock Sunday night At Mynard, in Cass county, south west of Plattsmouth, eight persons are reported to have been killed. There are no wires into that section of the state and it has been impossible to verify the rumor. Two Killed on Farm. Mead, Neb.,—The baby of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Ohnf, between here and Yutan, was killed when the storm passed over the farm. A farm hand, Henry Hickory, 45 years of age, was also killed by flying wreckage. Mr. and Mrs. Ohnf were both injured, but not fatally. At the Peterson farm, two miles f jm Mead, the buildings were blown down, but no injures to persons were reported. On the Ericksoii farm near by, the roof of a barn was blown off. The state legislature adjourned Mon day and almost all members went to Omaha. Great trainloads of people from the capital city and nearby towns arrived in Omaha during the day. Big Twister Splits. Manilla, la.—The tornado that devas tated a great portion of Omaha Sun day evening split just, before it reach ed Manilla and a wing passed on either side of the town. Storm in West Douglas. Waterloo, Neb.—The tornado which struck west of this place Sunday even ing left a train of waste and desola tion in its tracks from the Platte river, five miles southwest of here, to the bluffs east of the Ellthorn river. Kills Two Persons at Weston, la. Weston, la.—The following are the victims of Sunday’s storm. Dead: Mrs. Lon Thomas, Mrs. Joe Swinerman. In jured: Lon Thomas and son. RELIEF WORK IS SPLENDID ALL OMAHA IS RALLYING TO VIC TIMS’ AS5ISTANC5 fliioucra THROWN OPEN Cots Have Eeen Placed in the City Auditorium and Homeless Are Being Housed. OVER $1,OCO RAISED BY COLUMBUS PEOPLE Citizens of Columbus, Neb., rais ed over $1,000 Tuesday for the re lief of Omaha tornado sufferers. That was the cheering message telephoned by J. C. Byrnes of Co lumbus. “We will not close the fund un til sometime Wednesday,” said Mr. Byrnes. “We expect it to run well over the $1,000, and it will all be sent to Omaha as soon as the fund is closed. Our only regret is, first, that the thing should have hap pened at all, and second, since it has happened, that we can't help more than we are.’’ All Omaha is rallying to the assist ance of tornado victims. Men. women and children rendered destitute or homeless by the devastating storm of Sunday night are cared for as fast as their wants are made known. The hospitals of the city are full; churches, fraternal orders and public institutions have opened their doors; city officials are busy with relief work and hundreds of private homes are aiding in caring for the stricken. Citizens' Committee Organized. City commissioners passed an ordi nance appropriating $25,000 for relief work. Citizens present at the meeting organized and $50,000 more was donated. A citizens’ relief committee was organized, composed of fifty citi zens and an executive committee of seven to work with the seven city couneilmen. Governor Morehead notified Mayor Dahlman that he would send a special message to the legislature asking for the appropriation of sufficient funds to care for the homeless throughout the state. Police Commissioner Ryder issued ; orders for all saloons in the vicinity j of the wrecked district to remain ; closed until further notice. Mayor Dahlman created the follow- | MRS. E. F.

Ap proximately seventy-five families are homeless and many are penniless and without a possession in the world outside of the clothes on their backs and in instances this is very thin. In response to calls for help from Yutan a station for receiving donations was opened at the office of the Hammond & Stephens company, and arrange ments were made for the conveyance immediately of clothing and supplies to the stricken town. The Burling ton will carry the shipments without charge. "Public Service” Loss In Omaha.

Can we help in any way? WOODROW WILSON.” Killed Trying to Save Mother. The pathetic part of the death of Miss Mabel McBride, daughter of Will McBride of 4115 Farnam street, was the fact that she was trying to save and protect her mother and small brother who were attempting to get out. She had gotten them together in a corner of one of the rooms, when the roof blew away, the floors fell and a heavy board fell through, striking her on the head and killing her in stantly. Ralston Needs Aid. Mayor C. M. Skinner of Ralston has sent an urgent appeal for help to Omaha. He needs clothing and food for the sufferers and also financial aid. He says that the majority of peo ple turned out of their homes were poor and are now destitute, many not even having clothing to cover their backs. About 200 persons are homeless without a place to sleep. All the survivors have opened their doors to the unfortunates, but cannot take care of all. PREREQUISITES ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY TO SUCCESS IN PRODUCTION OF LAMBS. One of First Essentials Is to Secure Strong. Uniform Ewe Flock —Should Be Rugged in Constitution, Active Foragers, Reg ular Breeders, Good M ilkers and Shearers. Profitable Mutton and Wool Flock. (By PROF. W. C. COFFEY. University of Illinois.) Mutton production has become largely a question of furnishing lambs for the market. The buyers at Chi cago Union, stock yards assert that about 80 per cent, of all the sheep reching that place are lambs. While the very nature of things assures us there always will be mature sheep 3old as mutton, we are const-ained to believe that in the future the demand for lamb mutton will be even strong er than it is today. 1: is surely true that the demand for lamb mutton of the higher grade will become greater if our people keep up their present pace in learning to consume mutton, because their tastes will become edu cated to discriminate closely between ordinary and choice mutton products. It is within the possibilities of the native grower to produce choice lambs for the market but there are certain prerequisites absolutely neces sary to success in this work, and also some besetting sins of which cur na tive producers are guilty, which must be abandoned before we can do it. Every one will doubtless agree that Jie strong, vigorous, rapidly growing lamb is more profitable to the pro ducer than his weak constitutioned. backward brother. And hence, to get at the profitable production of lambs we must search out the essentials necessary tc the production of the former sort. One of the first things to seek is a strong, uniform ewe flock —ewes that are strong in constitution, active foragers, uniform and regular breeders, deep milkers and good shearers. It requires a ewe w'ith strong well developed vital organs to bring forth a lamb with enough vitality to battle for life should conditions be reversed, and it is enough to discour age a shepherd if, at the lamb's birth, both the lamb and the ewe are indif ferent about coming together and liv ing together courageously. The ewe is not worth much if she has not the ability to care for her lamb well. To secure the desirable bloom on the lamb, which is characterized by baby fat and plumpness, requires a liberal supply of milk from the mother, and this is hardly possible if she is not robust and an eager feeder. There fore, the things of first importance in selecting the ew e flock are robustness and strength of constitution. Most native sheep growers are open ,o criticism in that they do not se lect the ewes that are uniform and regular breeders. Observations have led me to believe that few have given these things due regard. Most of us prefer a lot of ewes uniform in ap pearancer and It is commendable In us that we do. but thL is not all, be cause we must seek those ewes that will all lamb at about the same time. Unevenness in a band of lambs works a hardship upon the individual worth of the lambs because they are hard to judge by the buyer and he bids low to make himself safe. Native lambs are described on the market as the "up and down sort,” and the fact that they are so reflects upon the skill of the native produce, in the eyes of the buyer. Our cousins on the range are compelled, through force of cir cumstances, to have their lambs born all within a period of about 15 days, because the lambing grounds will not maintain the band of ewes for a long period. Ewes, failing to bring lambs within this short period, are sorted out and sold for mutton. As a re sult bands of range lambs come upon the market in condition and weight, and while they do not sell as well as the best native lambs, they average a much better sale as a whole. Even ness is one of the things in their fa vor. The range men. though reject ing the ewes that failed to conceive in 15 days, have built up bands of ewes that breed quite regularly, and it is quite possible, i think, for the native flock owner to do something in this direction. With our small flocks we cannot be so rigid as the range men, but we can do much toward se lecting these ewes that will bring forth their lambs at about the same time. How can this be done? By selling off the ewes that persist in breeding late and by not reserving the extremely late born lambs for breeding ewes. A ewe once started to breed late, nearly always contracts the late breeding habit, and it is hardly worth while to attempt to her reform. Late born lambs are much more like ly to breed late than the early born lambs. We can avoid the late appear ance of lambs by using the most vig orous. active rams possible. Here is something that should never be overlooked. What is demanded of the ram, besides his individual excellence, is a short, hard, serviceable season. If he is not capable of this, it is unfair to the ewe flock to lay the sin of a long drawn out lambing season against them alone. And he will not be canable of a short, har dservice un less he is of the highest type in consti tution and vigor. In selecting a ram tc sire mark-t. lambs, the leading ques t;on the breeder should ask himself is “Do I wait lambs like this sheep?" If you do, and if he is vigorous and well bred, you will mest likely be re warded in so far as the sire himself can reward you. SEASONABLE WORK IN THE POTATO GARDEN Experiment With Poultry Manure and Superphosphate Favors the Former. (By A. J. LEGO.) Last spring I put a small handful *f dry poultry manure in each hill I planted my potatoes except four pieces ! Df rows. On these I used a 14% superphos phate in the hill at the rate of about ; 250 pounds per acre. I noticed throughout the growing season that the potatoes manured with poultry manure were growing much I faster than the others. The soil was just about the same in both places, as was the cultivation. When the potatoes reached maturity I dug 24 hills of each of two rows lying adjacent to each other. One was fertilized with poultry manure and the other with superphosphate. The potatoes from each 24 hills were carefully weighed with the following results. Twenty-four hills with superphos phate yielded 20.5 pounds. Twenty-four hills with poultry , manure yielded 05.75 pounds. Difference in favor of poultry ma iure 15.25 pounds. The , ariety of potatoes planted was common No. 1. All of the potatoes were practically free from scab as 1 only noticed one scabby potato and it [ was found among the ones grown with poultry manure. Poultry Profits. A poultry raiser's profits do not come from the number of chickens he hatches, but the number raised to ma- | turity. Interest in Educational Trains. During the journey of one of the railroad’s special educational trains throughout the west last fall hundreds j of women, young and old, went to the station to listen to talks by women experts on domestic science, dairying and other subjects of interest to them. Good Nurse Crop. Wheat is a satisfactory nurse crop for grass because it does not take up •o much moisture as oats and would for that reason give a better stand for grass. LITTLE SONGSTERS ARE EARLY RISERS Lark Does Net Deserve Reputa tion for Getting Out Early— Is a Sluggard. — % A student of bird life, who has been investigating the question as to the hour in summer when the commonest small birds wake up and begin to sing, says that the greenfinch is the earliest riser, as it sings about one thirty o’clock in the morning. The blackcap begins at two-thirty and the quail half an hour later. It is nearly four o’clock, and the sun is well up, before the first real songster appears—the merry black bird. Then comes the thrush, followed by the robin and the wren; and last, the house sparrow and the tomtit. Thus it will be seen that the lark's reputation as an early riser is not de served. In fact, he is a very sluggard, for he does not rise until long after many hedgerow birds have been about for some time. To Choose Fruit Varieties. First know what the fruit is to be used for. then learn what kinds that meet that demand do best in the neighborhood. It will pay to be de liberate in this choice and to confine the list to less than half a dozen kinds if market is the aim. Labor on Orchards. There are few who appreciate the amount of labor and money necessary in developing and maintaining an or chard of 100 or 150 acres, to say noth ing of the experience and executive ability necessary in handling such large crops. Pure-Bred Stock. No one keeping poultry can afford to be without pure-bred stock. The time is past when cross-breeds and dunghills can compete with thorough breds. One who has made a study of the great breeds now admitted to the Standard will not dispute this fact. It has taken years to perfect each va riety of standard bred birds. If it takes years to perfect the shape, the color and other Standard requirements then why does it not follow that it likewise takes years to perfect the laying qualities ct a variety?
