"Women are pretty closely concerned
with tho cost of Hvintr, a cost In which

generally understand what the smallest
farm can furnish In the way of food
and we nhall see them flocking to the
country fast enough. tkmo expert has
aid that one person with one aero can
feed nine people. Prince Kropotkln gives
a higher estimate even than this. Two
acres of market garde,n, he saya, can
yield enough vegetables and fruits to
supply richly the table of fifty adults
during the entire year. Of oourse, thl
means the most Intensive farming. A
gentleman In Heading, Pa., says that he
saves an average of $1,203 a year from
two and a half acres of Jand after be

that an acre of Onlona yielded 11.000 a
year In clear profit.

A woman on Long Island cultivated a

of the California woman who mad 11,800

A call has been Issued tor another meet
ing of the state relief commission for
next Saturday afternoon in the Com
mercial club rooms at 1 o'clock. The
commission will further, consider the ex
penditure ot the $100,000 relief fund appro,
printed by the state for the sufferers ot
tho Knster Sunday tornado In the state.
There are soma $33,000 of the fund still
to bo expended. At the first meeting the
tentative apportionment was HO.OOO for
Omaha, fft.OOO for Ralston, S3,000 fof
Yutan. (6,000 for Berlin. At a meeting
held last Saturday another 3,000 was ap
portioned to Omaha out of this fund.
Adding to all this thp $15,000 first taken
from the 1100,000 to pay the expenses of
the mllltla the total apportionment to
date Is 177,000, leaving 123,00) BtUl in the
Jund.
At the meeting next Saturday It Is .pos
sible that a fund will be set aside to pay
for clerical work. The state law appro
priating the $100,000 made provision for
the use of ii per cent, or $2,500 of the
fund for clerical work. None ot tho
members ot the commission Is paid for
his time or wprk, but the secretary,
Arthur Mullen,- Is .allowed a stenographer
to do the clerical work and sho Is to be
paid 'for her services out of tho appro
priation. It is estimated now that the
clerical work, Instead ot costing the full
J2.EO0, will probably not total over $300.

Still Detouring
Its Iowa Trains
Contrary to .expectations, the Mllwaukeo
did not get back Into its own tracks In
western Iowa Friday and probably will
not before . sometime Sunday. In the
meantime Jt Is detouring its trains In
and out of Omaha over the Northwestern
by way of Manning. '
All the day down the Mosquito creeb
from Panama to Neola, the track of tho
Milwaukee Is badly torn up and the
grade washed. As late as Saturday morn
ing several miles of track was sub
merged, making It Impossible for the large"
pangs bt repairers to make much heacP
way. And 'what Is s'tlll worse, the water
Is not going down rapidly. The ground
is so thoroughly soaked that It will not,'
absorb any more water and consequently
the surplus has to run oft Instead ot per
culatlng through the soil.
Flood damages along the Illinois Cen
tral and Great Western have been re
paired and these roads are back on their
own' tracks, running trains on schedule
.time.
Bonds on tho Nebraska side of the Mis
souri river have completed repairing
storm damages and trains are back on
regular schedules, where they hope to
continue, ns no rains to speak of were
