Beatrice, Neb., Nov. 29.—Nebras ka's next governor is a mail who has clambered up the ladder of fame from printer's "devil'' in a weekly newspa per office at Wymote, a man who worked his way through high school and the University of Nebraska nnd held a clerical position in Washing ton, D. while he studied law. Interspersed with hi* fight for a livelihood and fame is a pretty romance which started when he was i boy in the eighth grade and cul minated in marriage. There will he two others who will occupy Hie gubernatorial mansion at him oln in January with Adam Mc Mullen. the next governor. One will lie his wife. Mis.

Forty-one years ago this winter the McMullen family arrived in Nebraska from New York state. Adam .Mr Mullen was a lad of 11 years at the time. All of hl« brothers, excepting Paul McMullen, were grown men and had positions in the east. Paul and Adam were the only children who ac companied their parents to Wymore All of the other brothers, numbering four and two sisters, are dead, except ing Paul, who is in Oklahoma. When Adam McMullen started to school in Wymore, there was a girl, Cora Greenwood, who sat across the aisle from him. When Adams was i bad hoy in school the teacher made him sit in the same seat with fora G reeTtT.T.'cd for punishment. The teacher soon saw that this wasn't punishment for Adam, and he would get into trouble for the punishment’s sake. Adam was obliged to go to work when he was 13, He obtained a job washing forms, setting type and be ing a general roustabout in a news paper office at Wymore. Meantime, the romance was growing and when Adam attended a church social Cura Greenwood was ‘'Ills girl." Worked at I diversity.

The Brandeis Store | The beauty secrets l of a famous shoe .... j II * Yea, a shoe has its beauty secrets. And the most important beauty se crets of any shoe are the four meas urements which determine its fit. A shoe must be correctly shaped at the ball, the waist, the instep and the heel, for upon these four points are based its fit, style and comfort. Tn The Red Cross Shoe, these measure ments were obtained by actually meas uring thousands of feet in action and re pose, and from these dimensions fash ioning ideal lasts, the exclusive “Limit” . lasts, which insure perfect fit for every normal foot. Treads that never burn, vamps that never bind, heels that never pinch, and a sole that flexeH—these are the “beauty secrets” of The Red Cross Shoe.

Gfdrgf* Dpto, who wa.s elected democratic governor of Utah this fall, was one of his boarders. Arthur J. Weaver of Fall* City was another. Even then lie was interested In politics and In lSlh* he organized the McKinley First Voters' club, com posed of university men of voting ace. The membership of the club was 500. After he had graduated from the university he became city editor of the old Jdneoln Evening Call. He received *:i a week anil slept. In the newspaper offlee. Two of the re porters now covering the slate house for Jdneoln newspapers were mem bers of the Call staff In those days. •'Hard I p" Those Hays. "1 was certainly hard up those days." the governor elect said in dis cussing his early struggles. "One day I met Jessie B. Strode, who had just been elected congressman from the First district. Ha offered to get rue a job in a house folding room at Washington. I grabbed the job like a drowning man." AA’hen he arrived in Washington he began to study law. He later ob tained a better position In the AVar department. Shortly after he had passed the bar examination, the late Senator Dietrich offered young Mc Mullen a position as his private sec retary. ITe was to receive $123 a month. It looked like a fortune to Adam McMullen, more than sufficient to support a wife. Married in Washington. The childhobd romance had con tinued. All during young McMullen’s struggles in tiie university and ’in AA'ashington Cora Greenwood had written him and watched hint and en couraged him in his fight. At the time she was attending an eastern finishing school. She went to AVaslt Ington where they were married. In a few years Adam McMullen re turned to AV> more. Wlille their, lie was city attorney and later mayor, lie made tact friends and bitter enemies, the same as the mayor of any little town. He's Scotch, and as his friends knoV, it takes him con siderable time to make up his mind, hut after he does make a decision It usually stands. In later years McMullen moved to Beatrice, where he purchased one of the most beautiful homes In the lit tle rlty. Wis house stands in the center of a block. The entire block is a lawn with many beautiful shade trees and flower- beds. After moving to Beatrice, he was elected first to the house and then to the state senate. Then he began his stubborn fight to become governor of Nebraska. The Beatrice home will remain closed during his tenure of office. One of bis brothers, Buncan, came west and worked for a short time In tlie Burlington shope at W.vmnre. The father, John H. McMullen, was a rail way engineer in New York. In AS y more he was a mechanic.* 35 BREEDS OF DOGS ENTERED IN SHOW Thirty five lpreeds of dogs will he shown In the Nebraska Kennel club's second annual all-breed show which will open at 10 a. m. next Thursday and continue to the end of the week.
