SIMPLE LIFE IS
The RULE FOR A
PART OF OMAHA
Quite a Section of the City
Where the Homes All Have

Appearance.
By A. R. GROH.

There is part OF Omaha where the
people live the very simple life. |
walked up that way the other day.
A row of the homes of these pco-
pie is built close against the north
fence of the Union Pacific shop
grounds.
Every tiny home bears the mark
Of home -madcncss. Odd pieces Of
secondhand lumber and old pieces Of
tin have been used in their construc-
ton. You can see that father has
done the building with his own hands
after his days work.
Some of the houses arc painted, but
most Of them are not. Every house
lis surrounded by homemade fence
made Of old boards and rusty tin.
Every home has its little garden and
its chickens and ducks and geese. In
one tiny yard is COW pen with the
faithful COW. chewing her cud con-
tcntedly. Neat piles of wood are seen
in every yard.
Homes Are Neat.
A notable thing at these humble
homes is their neatncss. The win
dows are clean and adorned with cur
tains. And every window and door
is screened.
Children are plentiful in this thrifty
town. Some of them are neat and
some of them are--not neat, In ono
tiny yard | counted five dogs and
seven children, happy family, in
deed.
Going north from this street along
Tenth street. we find many more such
humble dwellings. The street isn't
paved and hasn't any sidewalks.
One tiny house of only one room
has little front porch, half sunk in
the ground and stovepipe sticking
crookedly out from the tar-paper roof.
A very aged woman was working
about the back yard and clothes were
on the line. She lives all alone and

two small children arc playing in the
weeds near by and the baby carriage

soap box fastened on to the dilapida-

evidently reclaimed from the dump.
Marsh on Landscape.
The landscape from this humble
street westward shows broad marsh
from which tall wild grass grows. and
in which are tin cans and all kinds
OF rubbish. Beyond the marsh arc

Runaway Car lust Misses
Auto Filled With People

People living out along the Mis-
souri, Pacific Belt Line road were
given an opportunity to witness the
spectacular run of wild freight car.
In some unexplained manner an
empty freight car was released from
the Sunderland yards, north of Cum
ing street. and ran out on the main
line. There it struck the downgrade
and sped away, gaining speed as it
moved along.
When the runaw~y car crossed
Farnam street it was moving at a
speed OF twenty miles an hour. There
it just missed a loaded automobile.
At West Side Junction, near Howard
street, the car ran into switch en-

by the impact of the car striking
their engine, but neither was injured.
The engine was considerably battered

~ do not believe any OF the boosts

II do not believe the courts would

After an exhaustive search of the
statutes, County Attorney Magney
failed TO find any law giving the
county assessor the right to send out
such notices.
Cannot Find the Law.
"The equalization board as body
could legally notify a taxpayer that
his assessment had been boosted. but
! looked through the statutes and am
unable to find anything that says the
county assessor, in the capacity OF
his office alone. has the power to send
out such a notice" added the county
attorney.

SAVING TOMATO SEED ON THE
FARM

College Park, Aug. 30-It is the GUS
tom with tomato growers to buy their
seed from the market. This has been
done, but often times with consider
able loss to the grower The seed, Of
course, can be secured In this way at
little cost, which no doubt, has appeal
ed TO the growers more than anything
else; however, there is another con-
sideration in this connection. The
seed bought upon open market may
have come, and often does come from
plants that are more or less diseased.
Inc plants may not only be diseased,
gut they are in many cases weak and
unprolifc. This is especially true OF
seed that is saved from the general
run OF tomatoes at the canning houses
and hundreds of pounds of seed are
saved every year by this method.
A much better way to secure good
tomato seed Is to save it from the best
plants in the field This can be done
by marking the plants with a stake
about the time they begin to ripen
fruit and by gathering the fruit from
the marked hills separately. This seed
is squeezed out into a barrel or the
whole fruit of the tomatoes them
selves placed tn the barrel and crush
ed after which water is added to the
contents. and allowed to stand for two
or three days, or until fermentation
takes place, at which time the pulp
Will rise and the seed will sink to the
bottom. The water Is then poured of,
together with whatever pulp may be
removed with the water, and a fresh
supply Of water added. After stirring
the contents, allow it to settle and
pour of again. THIS may Be repeated
until the seed is fairly clean, after
which it is removed and spread out to
dry in place where birds and mice
cannot feed upon #.
Some Of the Gamers of the State are
cooperating in this good work by pay
ing either the usual price or within q
few cents of the usual price for the
seed tomatoes, and still allow the
grower to take home with him the
seed. This oan be done very well
where the Gamer puts up a pulp or q
catsup.
Seed saved as suggested here will
yield very good income on the extra
expense of saving it.
This Is not a new theory, but .
demonstrated fact, as many of the
growers are now practicing 1t. This
method of improving the crop has al.
ready been applied to other crops such
as potatoes, in which case the seed II
saved by the bill method, and seed
corn saved In the field, and wheat in
which the plant berry is selected from
the most prolific strains, thus produc-
ing higher yielding strains and
varieties
