"I don't think that will be ne

have enough left to live on" said
her father, but a look of intense
qualification shone in his eyes as
he spoke. Gertrude was true to
the estimate he had formed of
her character it was evident that
the unlocked for termination of
her butterfly existence did not
daunt the girl, and Merton Des-
borough had never felt prouder
of his daughter than at that mo-
tnent.
Gertrude did not abandon her
resolution of joining the humble
ranks of the wage earners. No
sooner were they settled in the
narrow confines of the little fiat
which her father selected as their
future residence than she started
out in search of work, and the fol-
lowing week saw her installed at
a switchboard in the employ of
the telephone company, fulfilling
the duties of an operator. Her
father, smiled when she triumph
antly informed him of her sue,

her. The battle of life had COM

earnest.

Gays had been legion In number,
but with the change in her social
position they became wonderfully
scarce. Three or four of her girl
hood churns remained faithful to
the deposed princess of their mer-
ry circle and loyalty expressed
their admiration of the manner in
which she confronted her adverse
destiny, but they were shinig ex-
ceptions to the general rule.
Perhaps the sharpest sting of
all was contained in the know
ledge that Lionel Wayne was Ut
terly unworthy of the good opin-
ion she once held of him. From
the day when he first learned of
her fathers financial ruin that as
tute gentleman had kept carefully
out of sight, and never even came
forward to express his sympathy.
Yet Gertrude, in spite of the dis
appointment which the revela-
ton of his true character inflicted
upon her sensitive nature, felt
thankful that she had found him
out in time to save herself from
the bitterness of loveless mar
riage. Whether Winslow would
prove equally faithless remained
to be seen. Business had sum

JEROME TO AID OF BECKER
Former District Attorney Of New
York May Be Called by Defense,
TO TELL OF A TELEPHONE TALK
Police Lieutenant Will Seek to Show
that State Would Sacrifice Him
that the Informers May klsl
Go Free.

NEW YORK, Oct. r.-William Travers
Jerome. former district attorney Of New
York, may be called as a witness for the
defense in the trial of Police Lieutenant
Becker, charged with the murder Of
Gambler Rosenthal, it was said today.
The state had only few remaining wit
nesses to call when the trial was resumed.
John f. Mcintyre. chief cousel for
Becker. would neither confirm nor deny
the report that the defense might require
Jerome's appearance to refute Jack Roses
testimony concerning his (Rose's) last
telephone conversation with Becker after
the murder.
Rose in telling of this conversation
quoted Becker as having guilty knowl-
edge Of the murder. Jerome it was said,
having been present at the Bar associa-
tion with John W. Hart Of counsel for
Becker, will say that Becker did the
telephoning there and said nothing to
Rose swore also that Becker telephoned
from q public pay station.
The defense will also try to show that
the state seeks to sacrifice Becker and
Lot the informers go free and that. as a
matter Of fact, Rosenthal was the victim
Of gamblers conspiracy.
Mrs William Rosenberg, wife of Lefty
Louie" one of the four gunmen charged
with shooting Herman Rosenthal to
death. was witness for the state, Her
testimony was corroborative Of a por-
tion of the story told by BALD Jack"
Not Testifying to Help Husband.
Mrs. Rosenberg said that Rose had
come with Sam Schepps to her home
May 10 to see Louie about helping to get
bail fer jack zelig, the gang leader killed
the other day, who had just been ar
rested on charge of carrying con-
cealed weapons.
Louis was sick in bed" she declared
"and Schepps and Rose went into his
room and talked twenty minutes with
him. They talked about zelig.
Mrs. Rosenberg added. on cross-exam-
lnation, that she was not testifying to
kelp her husband or with the hope of his
leniency. "A
Lefty" she said, knew that she would
take the stand, for she had written him
she would.
The blonde-haired wife of the gunman
was one Of several witnesses who corrob-
orated portions Of Roses story.
Two telephone operators, one at pub

WAR IS SAID TO BE GENERAL

Servians and BuIgarians Heady to
Meet the Advancing Turks.
LONDON, Oct 17.-War today became
general throughout the Balkan peninsula
Turkey, which for a week or more has
been fighting with Montenegro, this MORN
ing issued formal declaration Of hos
tilities against Seryia and Bulgaria.
Greece was not mentioned in the official
document delivered to the Servian and
Bulgarian legations at Constantinople and
the Greek minister has not been asked
to leave the Turkish capital, as were his
Servian and Bulgarian colleagues. The
Turkish minister. however, left Athens
without the usual formalities. Fighting
between the Turkish and Greek armies
has begun on the frontier.
Turkeys withdrawal Of its troops from
the immediate vicinity OF the Greek
frontier and the omission Of Greece from
the declaration of war were doubtless
dictated by Kiamil Pasha, president OF
the council OF state, real head Of the
Turkish government. He has been de-
sirous all along of avoiding fight with
Greece, whose interests, as he recently
told the Greek premier. are identical with
those Of TurlSy.
In its declaration Of war, Turkey places
the blame on Bulgaria and Servia-

This Year is IL 1-2 Per

According to the crop report of the
United States National bank of Omaha
the corn crop in Nebraska this year will
be 50 per cent Of normal crop. The
seasons yield of wheat is 12h per cent
above the normal. Following is the
banks report:
Where We use the term normal as to
production we mean the five years aver

age n sste
'srhs government report makes the
average number Of bushels of corn pro-
duced In Nebraska during the last five
years 1s25i3,ooO bushels our opinion,
based upon the Information obtained
from over 800 banks and elevators, is
that we will produce this year about ss
per cent Of a normal crop, or a yield for
the state Of about 175 100000 bushels Of
corn
The government reports that the aver
age number OF bushels Of wheat raised in
Nebraska during the last five years was
44,1SsSSs bushels This heason's yield Of
wheat Is about 12tta per cent above the
normal crop, or about 50CO0000 bushels
of wheat for this year.
The average yield of oats for the state
was 5S.3l4,S00 bushels and the yield this
year is about 81 per cent of the normal,
or about 100000 bushels of oats for the
year.
N'The forage crops this year for the
counties east of the Tooth meridian prob
ably average about 96 per cent Of the
normal For the counties west Of the
Tooth meridian the forage crops are the
principal crops and Of great value for
feeding purposes and this year are prob
ably 90 per cent above the average crap,

proximate the general percentage and
average for the entire state by careful
consideration of the amounts of the esti-
mated yield In bushels in, each one of

is after such experiences that you get
the habit of mot feeling WE'LL"
During warm weather, ventilate
the cellar at night and close during
the day, in order to keep it cool and
dry. Be sure it is we'll cleaned and
the walls whitewashed.
When washing blue lawn Or calico

An egg within an egg is the unique
freak of nature which j. w. Moles OF
Shawnee township, is exhibiting to
his friends. The egg, which is nearly
as large as a goose egg, was laid by
one of Mr.. Moles' Plymouth Rock
hens last week and its extraordinary
size attracted his attention. Thinking
perhaps that two or even three yolks
might be contained therein, Mr.. Moles
broke a hole in the she'll and attempt
ed to pour out the contents. A yolk
and a white came fourth as from an
ordinary egg, but something remained
inside the shell, and he was greatly
surprised to find upon examination
another fully developed hard shelled
egg inside. Fortunately the hole
broken in the outside shell is too
small to permit the egg inside to pass
out, and Mr.. Moles has a rare
curiousity.

shine, repeating the work if neces-
sary. Or, wash the spot with a hot
solution of oxalic acid, then rinse
thoroughly with warm water; oxalic
acid is poison, and should be handled
with care.
Colored fabrics should be washed
in soap suds made with pure vege-
table oil soap. Alkaline soaps will
take the color out of them. A
better and safer way is to wash them
in bran water, or thin flour, which
will cleanse equal to the soap, and
not injure the color, and at the same
time give them the stiffness of new
cloth.
When putting away flannels or
wooden goods, wash separately by
immersing them in warm water made
with mild soap, rubbing lightly with
the hands, and putting them through
another clean soap suds, then rinsing

the same temperature, warm but not
hot. Dry in a warm place. Choose
a warm, sunny day for the washing:

WILSON'S HOLD
ON TEXAS SECURE

Indications Are New Jersey Man is
Sure to Get Majority in State.
Dallas, Tex, May 6.-No material
changes were developed in the presi-
dental primary situation of either par
ty in Texas to-day. There seems to
be no reasonable doubt that Wilson
has the vote of Texas secure. The
claims to the contrary set forth today
in indefinite form from Harmon head
quarters in Dallas probably were for
effect in Maryland and elsewhere.
The gloomy atmosphere around
headquarters did not tend to confirm
the reports of a "close vote" sent to
other States. The County Conven-
tons tomorrow seem at this writing
to be assured for the Wilson candi-
dacy by large majority. No amount
of technical work or Juggling on the
part of managers or Of the State Com
mlttee two weeks hence will be like
ly to change this forecast.
The claims of the Wilson managers
of upward of 100 majority in the
State Convention as a result of to-
morrow's county convention seem
justified.
Taft undoubtedly has carried the
Republican primary, but the State
Committee, with Chairman Lyon con-
trolling it, is almost a unit as a Roose-
welt machine. There will be scores
of the boiling county conventions and
contesting delegations in the proceed
ings tomorrow and similar situation
at the State Convention in Fl. Worth
on May %.
That there will be two sets of dele
gates sent to Chicago appears to be a
certainty.
The expectation in Texas is that the
national convention will turn down
Lyon and his Roosevelt delegation and
seat the Taft men from this State.
Stormy times are anticipated in both
Democratic and Republican county
conventions tomorrow.
