Jewish Relief Work Is Told in Annual Report V ... - More funds Sought to Run Federation for Remainder of Year—Needy Are Cared For. The Jewish Welfare federation was compared to a house In process of construction In the annual report of Samuel Schaefer, superintendent, submitted to the board. "It la built in four wings," said Mr. Schaefer. "Kach wing has four floors, and each floor has been reserved for particular groups of the men, women and children for whom you are build ing this house. It has taken you three months to build each wing, and each floor has been occupied to ca pacity. “The first floor of each wing has been devoted to the men, women and children who more than anything else needed a home, food and clothes. On the second floor were those who need ed medical attention. The third floor has been devoted to religious educa tion and to wholesome recreation. To 'the fourth floor of your house of serv ice have come all with personal trou bles to solve. They required little or no financial help; they need friend ly counsel and advice." Mr. Schaefer made a plea that a fourth “wing” be added. This, he ex plained, would be the payment of funds to keep the federation active during the remaining three months of the present year. The Jewish Welfare federation of Omaha is the center of all Jewish charities here. Over 1,000 boys and girls attended the clubs and classes of the Y. M. II. A. nnd the Y. W. H. A. last year. "We build men and women. We build Americans. We build Jews.'* Such is the motto of these twin organizations, affiliated with the federation. Another feature of the federation's activities is the supporting of widows, orphans and similar unfortunates. Seventeen entire households are being maintained. Food, coal, clothing and medicine and rent are being paid for AT THE <T HEATERS ARRY DELF, the subtly young fel low at the Orpheum theater thle week, gives song impersonations of a brilliant variety. Such comedians aa Mr. Delf enrich the quality of vaudeville entertainment, for he Is as witty and suave as he is dapper and personable. He has a smile that il luminates his countenance and It ex presses thoughts quicker, perhaps, than the little fellow himself. Among the popular vaudeville bllle of the fall season the current show at the World takes high rank. With such fea tures as Romeo and Dancing Dolls, Clark and O’Nell, syncopated songsters; Dorothy Nellson. the clever Norwegian violinlste; Ed Redmond and Company in “Napoleon," and other attractions, the bill provides widely diversified entertainment. The October “blue ribbon" bill is announced for next Saturday. Benny Barton’s Re vue, a carnival of syncopation, la the headline attraction. Four more days and the Marcus show concludes a successful four weeks’ run at the New Empress. They will be followed next Sunday by Billy Maine ana his comedy players In what is said to be one of the most novel farce comedies now on the boards. It Is entitled “Somewhere in France’ and depicts the most laugh able adventures of a “boob" American doughboy in Paris following the- signing of the armistice. The show telle a con sistent story and the musical numbers 'Nhile characteristic, are only Incidental to the plot of the play. Individual and ensemble numbere well rendered, scenic effects made to blend with the spirit of the entire offering, and the gowns of the comely girls with their marvelous singing and dancing, make "Let's Go,” now, at the Gayety theater, an attraction of exceptional worth. Its pro ducers have assembled a company of ex ceedingly clever entertainers and. more over, they have provided them with ma terial that is n< w and diverting and stage settings that are numerous and attractive. Pat White and Manny King head the cast. Others include Kitty Madison, Bur ton Carr, Nan Palon, Flo 'Kane, Helen Flynn. Joe Barrett and Honny Thompson’s Entertainers. Ladles' matinee at 2:15 dally.

Unseasonable feather Produces Rotten Corn Columbus, Neb., Oct. 18.—In spite of the first killing frost of the sea son, the cold did not harden the corn for picking and farmers in this sec tion of the Loup and Platte river valley find the rotting still continues, while picking takes double the time because of green stems. Recent rains have made fields in the lowlands almost Impassable and In many places corn picking Is being postponed. Many farmers are forced to throw from two to three bilshels out of every load of corn because It has not ripened enough or because It Is rotted. Corn yields In several sections of the valley will be some what reduced, although yields are good because much more was used for silage than ever before.
