POTATO CROP NOW
' MOVINSTO MARKET
Railroads Estimate That Al
most Three Million Dollars
Has Reverted Back to
Farmers for Spuds.
Chilean Beauty Who Shot Her
Husband on Trial for Murder
While Omaha railroad freight of
ficials have only estimates from their
agents, they figure that between 60
and 75 per cent of the Nebraska and
eastern Wyoming potato crop has
been moved to market. This is the j
:rop that is tributary to the Omaha i
market.
So far this fall the railroads have
moved close to 3.000,000 bushels out
of Omaha trade territory, practically
all of the shipments coming to Omaha
for consumption or for distribution to
other markets.
The following figures indicate the
approximate volume of the potato
shipments so far this fall, the three
roads being the ones that operate in
the potato growing . area of the
S' Burlington railroad. 1,000; North
western. 800; Union Pacific, 800 car
loads. Under the loading to capacity
rule the average load of these cars
has been about 1.100 bushels each, or
a total of 2,860,000.
Price Good for Growers
In some of the potato growing dis
tricts of the state farmers have re
ceived considerably more than $1 for
their potatoes, f. o. b. There have
been only a few points of shipment
where the price has been lower than
tnis. One dollar a bushel is con
sidered a fair average price, thus mak
ing a total of $2,860,000 that has gone
back to the farmers for their potato
crop that has been marketed.
Of the estimated 25 per cent of the
potato crop not yet shipped to mar
ket, it is said that the greater portion
has been put into cellars or storage
houses and that there is little danger
of further damage from freezing, un
less colder than zero weather should
come.
' Vofunteer Rumors Cause
Rush at Recruiting Offices
The young man who lias been pit
ing off enlisting "till a little later" is
now thinking hard. The rumor that
after December 15 no more volun
teers will be taken into the army
means that there wilj soon be a big
rush at the recruiting offices.
It is well known that the volunteer
has many advantages over the drafted
man, as to choice of service, branch
location, etc. All arms of the service
are open now.
Recruiting officers are all antici
pating a big run at once, although
they take in a large number of 4nen
weekly as it is.
The Omaha army recruiting office
was filled with boys seeking to en
list Monday morning. It is said there
that at least a thousand volunteers
are expected in the Omaha district
this month, which will probably put
Omaha ahead of any recruiting dis
trict in the United States.

Mineola. N. Y.- Nov. 19. The trial
of Mrs. Uianca de Saulles, Chilean
heiress, for the murder of her di
vorced husband, John Longer dc
Saulles, politician and former Yale
athlete, was begun today before Jus
tice David I' Manning in the supreme
court. It was expected that the jury
box would be filled before evening. -
Mrs. de Saulles' counsel has ad
mitted that there is no dispute regard
ing the fact that she shot her former
husband. While no announce
ments have been made, .it has been
intimated that "irresponsibility" grow
ing out of mother love for her young
son, "Jack," who by court order after
the divorce trial was placed in the
custody of the father for five months
each year, may be the main plea. It
was also indicated- that it may be
shown that the mother was driven to
desperation by the fear that De
Saulles was poisoning the mind of
her only child against her and would
supplant her in his son's affections.
Announcement has been made that
no attack would be made on the char-

potato days at the Sun theater for
the benefit of the Old People's home

days the admission charge to the the

On Saturday this arrangement will
be in effect until 6 p. m. and on

Indications that the defense would

Mrs. de Saulles' counsel fTegan ex

defense and would acquit if it was
shown that at the time of the com

-The prosecution queried talesmen

New Orleans is replete with foreign characteristics even to the least
and the humblest of her Creole restaurants. Nowhere else in America
are there auainter, more interesting streets than in the Vieux Carre;
nowhere else such time-worn houses of antique,, stone, whose, everv
room is written in history; nowhere else such unique shops, such
romantic latticed windows; such mysterious corridors, patios and courts.
But if outward New Orleans has that which is foreign, how much more
so the gracious, mirthful spirit of the place that esprit de Paris that
gay insouciance- of Spain guaranteed to put all care to flight. And
the best of New Orleans is its nearness, especially when one travels on
