nlng to take care of. The grand stand

ing week the auto parking spaces n:ARQUAimMSOF THE HRANCH
wju uu uu brio, me space witnm me
quarter stretch will be seated with
plantyi where thousands can bo ac
comodated. Theso seats Willnot be
raised off thaground and so will not
obstruct, the view of tho other sido

ers, tioket takers, gatemun, ticket sell
ers and all other officials used in tak
ing care of the crowds aro being se
lected and coached in handling the
big crowd. Tho American Logion is
putting on these races and it is intrust
ed to look after the safety of all. A
statement issued yesterday by Com
mander Selby said in part, "A six
foot woven wire fence will' be placed
around the inside of the track ranging
from a distance of sixty foot frbm
the straightaway to two hundred feet
from the curves. This will insure
safety and inside this fence will bo
constructed at least six rows of soats
around the entire circumference, thus
accomodating at least six thousand
people inside the track and so con
structed that it will not obstruct the
view from the grand stand, the bleach
ers of tho car parking spaces. By this
plan along with other details of en
larging the seating capacity, we will
be ablo to comforatably seat tho near

SCHOOL BOARD
HASJHE POWER
SUIOOL DANCE QUESTION HAS
HE EN Sl.Tri.KI) HY SUPHE.ME
cuuirr
The following ellintlng from the
Nebraska State Journal will be of In
terest to those who have followed tlie
history of the contention that oroao
here, about allowing dapces in the
Franklin tchool auditorium.
The final decision in n nice nttle
town row from North Plntte was
handed down by the supremo court
Monday when it held that the board
of education was within Its legal
rights in permitting supervised dances
to be held in the Franklin high school
building.
A number of taxpayers and patrons
insisted Uiat sehoolhouees built by
public moneys should not be used for
such purposes. Somo objected on re
ligious grounds to their children danc
ing and the children thus required by
parents to stay at home made life un
pleasant for the parents. They de
sired the cause of irritation removed.
The court says the legislature has
the power to bostow upon school au
thorities unlimited control and dis
cretion in tho use of school property
within constitutional limitations and
that In a city Uie board may permit
use of public school buildings for
public assemblages and In the rural
districts the electors may, at their an
nual mooting, permit such use and
fix tho rental.

The Peak Load
When the dingy fln&ei
begins to smudge the sky, John
Smith "calls it a day," puts on
his hat and goes home. He's
tired and hungry. A million
other "John Smiths" are also
Urdu and hungry, and they're
all going home. And then elec
tricity enters tlie scone. In the
little blaclc square above you
can see wncn most electric
power is consumed. At nght!
Night with its crowded street
cars with its electrically light
ed homes, "movies" and all.
Night turned into day by elec
tricity. We your electric com
pany carry a tremendous bur
den from the time John Smith
leaves his office until ho winds
the clock and puts out the cat.
True, there are constant indus
trial demands for unending
power throughout tho day. But
tho "peak load" of lighting for
every electric company is after
the world's workers havo end
ed their day's toil. Wo aro
proud of our responsibility to
you proud to be ablo to ren
der Uninterrupted Service even
during tho "peak load" oven
though tho electric light de
mand of our busy customers is
crammed into a few small hours
of the night.
