Thirty Days Hard Labor
 Is Farm Brides Portion

according to figures compiled by the University of Minnesota, Mir. Jenison said, adding that more than 15 tons of water must be pumped from the we'll. The farm woman, doing this, he said, walked more than 100000 steps and required 20 days of union time, which is increased to thirty days when the time is figured for carrying the water back outdoors. One month a year can be saved by installing running water in the farm home, yet only about one in ten homes has such convenience, he asserted.

FLORDASTORM
 DRIFTS TO SEA
Storm Warnings Are Low cred On Gulf Coast
 Points
fRv Associated Press,

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Oct. 2l.- The tropical storm which passed over southern Florida during the last 4o hours, tonight was somewhere at sea off the east coast. It left in its wake a rain-drenched, windtorn territory and caused considerable damage to the fruit and vegetable crops in the section 1t rraversed. Railroads reported train service delayed through washouts, and the flooded condition of highways SC riously impaired motor travel.
 The storm struck southern Florida between punta Gorda and Fort Meyers and these elties. and the adjacent terri tory suffered the most damage. Fishing and small shipping interests suffered damages at these points trees were up- rooted, wire torn down, and fields were inundated.
 Lake Okeechobee tonight was reported standing at its highest level in years. due, it was said, to rainfall in the lake section totaling more than 19 inches in the last 4Sshours.
 Railroad and highway officials tonight expressed the opinion that the worst of the storm was over, and that with a let up in the rainfall traffic conditions would soon return to normal.
 TAMPA, Fya., Oct. 21.-Hurricane and storm warnings on both coasts off Florida were hauled down this morning, the hurricane having passed out over the Atlantic short distance north of Miami. s
 As the storm passed from the gulf in- land between Fort Meyers and Punta Gorda last night and headed eastward across the peninsula, hurricane warnings here and northward were lowered. but remained displayed to the south of here and on the cast coast until this morning. The barometer was rising slowly here today.
