DEATH AND DESTRUCTION FROM
TERRIFIC WIND STORM IN OMAHA
tornado lacked confirmation, as wires

tornado lacked confirmation, as wires
were down.
Tho Tornado Swept Area.
The stretch Of Omaha covered by the
tornado reaches from the southern
f, limits to the suburb Of Florence Six
miles north of the point OF origin
The storm swept the western part OF
the city for it's entire length following
the west side OF the valley, extend
ing along the Missouri river bluffs
The eastern half Of the city-generally
composing the business section--was
out of the path of the twister but suf'
fered greatly.
The section traversed by the storm
is the residential portion Of the city,
as well as, a number of outlying BUSH
ness thoroughfares in the destroyed
area.
The greater part Of the damage was
done west of Twenty-Fourth street
a north and south cross town
street extending the entire length OF
the city. The numerous streets with
retail stores criss-cross this section
with the residence portion OF the city
scattered in intervening sections.
6SSI HS6IOCHS OloSt bs'$s
Many of the best parks Of the city
are located within the district covered
and at least two Of them were wrecked.
Hanscom park, situated near where
the storm originated, was greatly dam
aged and Bemis park, one OF the show
residence portions of the city, was
struck with sufficient force to practic-
ally wreck most of the residences with
in its limits.
The temperature Friday night and
Saturday morning lowered near the
zero mark but shot up with remarka-
BILE rapidity and this doubtless was re-
sponsible for the condition Of the ele-
ments which brought on the storm.
That the situation Is grave was
indicated by the action Of Mayor Dahl
man in procuring the aid of govern
ment troops and the national guard. -.
Fort Crook is five miles south OF
Omaha and was out Of the path OF the
worst part of the storm.
One part of the area covered by the
storm is that located between Cunning
street on the south and Ames avenue
on the north and from Twenty-Fourth
street on the east to fiftieth street on
the west. This Is the most th1ckly
populated residence districts IN the
city and contains ten Of the largest
public schools In Omaha. Many OF the
largest churches of all denominations
also are in that part OF the city.
Omaha university was in the path OF
the storm and is presumed to have
been badly damaged.

THEIR STEWARDSHIP.

The Tax Commissioners Office has
been very Dusty engaged in the last
few years in auditing the books of
officers of the various counties, which
is right and proper, but the biggest
undertaking OF all awaits the Tax
Commissioner and that is the audit
ing OF the books of the officers Of the
State Government. Not in recent
years have they been audited and
the people of the State therefore have
no means of knowing whether ac-
counts have been properly kept, or
whether those stewards or those stew.
ards to whom have been entrusted
the funds of taxpayers have been
faithful or not in their accountings
IL it is important and business-ilke for
county officials to render an account
ing of their stewardship, how much
more important it is that those who
handle 80 much moe money should
be compelled to Tender an accounting
Let this be done and while it rs being
done let an itemize1 statement be
made Of the expenditures made by the
Adjutant Generals office in connection
with the Kanawla stake. The people
have a right to know these things and
IL they cannot secure an accounting
from one set Of officers they win elect
officials who will render such an ac
counting.

WHAT GREEN FEEDS
FOR THE CHICKENS?
Digging Cabbage and Mangel Wurt-
gels for Indoor Use During the
Cold Season
fBy Roy II. water


Probably the moss discussed and
perhaps the least understood thing
about feeding poultry is the green
feed question. Fowls on natural
range eat good deal Of growing
vegetation. and when We shut them
up in small houses with limited runs
fl is natural that we should be con
cerned about their supply of green's.
There are numerous substances
and methods used for supplying green
feed. but no special one can be very
well singled ont as the most salts
factory. This article will deal main
ly with eabbages and mangel wurt-
zels. because it is about time now
to put away supply if they are to
be used At some future date the
subject of green feeds will be taken
ND again and several of the other
substances used for the purpose,
such as sprouted oats, lawn clip.
pings. weeds, lettuce, bran, alfalfa
products, clover products, table
scraps etc. will be discussed
Cabbage and Managers field beets)
make fine combination for fall and
Winter feeding, for cabbage can be
used in the fall and mangels after
Christmas. Mangels have to go
through a sort of ripening process
after harvesting before they are e.
for feeding poultry II fed before
real cold weather sets in hey are
apt to cause bowel trouble among
the fowis They come in nicely dur
ing the winter and early spring after
the cabbage season has passed.
These feeds must be store prop
erly Il they are to be kept in a saed-
ing condition. A gaod, cool cellar
that is not too dry makes an ideal
place for both cabbage and mansels.
There are various other satisfactory
methods If cellar is not available
Cabbage can be heeled in. the pro-
cess being as follows; Pillow or dig
a furrow or trench along one side
of the place selected for them, and
then stand the cabbage in this fur
row with the roots down. Tnen fill
mp tAis trench by blowing another
furrow into it and place mora cab
hage in this second one Continue
the process until all are in. Then
cover with straw, brush, cornstalks
and earth, and dig out as required.
Another method Is to dig a long
trench on a slope where II viii be
well drained. This trench should DC
about three feet wide. The cabbage
is packed in tightly, heads down, but
roots still on. They are then cover
ed with q layer of straw, and dirt is
thrown over this, 1t is easy to dig
the cabbage out of this trench even
in the coolest weather, for the straw
keeps tho dirt loosened UP.
Mangels can be pitted or an in
expensive and quite convenien' eel
lar can be made by digging a hole in
the ground at some well-drained place
and covering with an A-shaped roof
over which dirt is placed,
| would not recommend purchasing
cabbage and mangels for feeding
seeding poultry unless they can be
obtained at a reasonable price, but
if they can be grown on the place
they will solve the green feed prob
lem for you.
