The board of education also pre
sent d their reasons for not opening
the school this year, which was that
there was not a sufficient number of
children that attended the school to
Justify the expenditure of $1,200
which would be necessary to main
tain the school, that the board had
taken a survey of the situation and
found th.it there were but seven
children that were desirous of at
tending the ward school in prefer
ence to the Columbian building far
ther north. Another of the argu
ments advanced was that the open
ing of the school wculd make neces
sary the laying of several blocks of
waik along the streets leading to the
fifth ward building so that the little
folks would not haVe-o wade thru
mud and wet gr.s to reachthe
school in bad weaUicr..
It was decided to have the presi
dent of the board of education and
Mr. Harris visit the section tribu
tary to the school and ascertain the
views of the residents there as to
their preference in the schools.

From Thursday's Daily
Yesterday afternoon, W. R. Fith
ian, of the Missouri Pacific railroad.
was in the city consulting with the
members of the ChamLer of Com-
It had Leon planned that this new
highway to the cemetery be gravel
ed and in doing this it was planned
to have the highway laid along Lo
cust street as being the safest route
and connecting up with the paving
on Elm street just south of the Ne
braska Masonic Home. In ordr to
make this highway the best possible
it will be necessary to use a portion
of the right-of-way of the railroad
company at 15th and Locust street.
While Mr. Fithian is not authorized
to make any pledges for the railroad
company, he was very much im
pressed with the proposition and rec
ognized the fact that it would tend
to make travel safer by eliminating
the danger of a grade crossing on
Oak street, which if the present plans
are carried out, will be used only by
the residents of that immediate vi
cinity. RURAL ELECTRICITY USED
"As an indication of electrical de
velopment in Great Britain, it is said
that there are a number of towns of
ten thousand population that do not
have electric service," said R. A.
Lundquist, chief of electric equip
ment division of the U. S. department
of commerce, in addressing the Ne
braska convention of agricultural
engineers. The speaker discussed
rural electrical development in sev
eral European countries and told of
the service to farmers in Sweden be
ing based upon acres as well as kilo
watts metered. Ninety per cent of
the current of Germany is obtained
from fuel burning plants, and the
motors used in the rural communi
ties are from one to five horse power
capacity. The average acreage of
French farms is about 12 acres and
only the large estates use electricity
generally. Little progress is shown
in England and the speaker attrib
uted it to municipal ownership and
the restrictions made by regulatory
bodies about the construction of high
tension lines.
In New Zealand, Mr. Lundquist
found electricity was doing its fair
share of farm work, especially in
tuning the wheels for all kinds of
small machinery, including thresh
ing machines.
E. J. Weyrich was a passenger this
morning for Omaha to spend a few
hours attending to some matters of
business.
DICKSON FAMILY

From Friday's t'aiiy
On Sunday. August 31. 1924. oc
curred the first funily Dickson r--ur.Nm
which has be u held in Ne

iiis wife. Pearle, conceived the idea
of attempting to bring together the
Dicksons of Iowa and Nebraska and
their relatives to the end that closer
knowledge of each other might be
known and the family tree contin
ued as recited by those of a genera
tion ago.
The history of this family is no
different than that of other families
except that perhaps a better chrono
logical rketch of events has been kept
than in most families. The immedi

tance of fourteen miles. Many of the
family still live in this picturesque
valley. The primogeniture of this
family as now established and au
thenicated by the records of the set

ords is as follows:
John Dickson, born 1741, died
170S. married Hannah Marshall in
1762.
Marshall Dickson born 17 63, died
1S34, married Phoebe Oakley.
A son cf Marshall married Eliza

and Stark families. The history con
tinues through Charles Dickson. Mrs.
Hattio Dickson Capwell, Howard
Capwell and his children, Mary and
Mariorie, and to many others. The
Stark branch of this tree extends
back to Aarou Stark who settled at
Groton. Conn., in 1650 and the lines
come don through William, Chris
topher and William who was the
father of Elizabeth Stark Dickson.
Marshal Dickson and his father
served in. the Revolutionary war and
thus gave their descendants the right
to be members of the society known
as the Sons or Daughters of the
American Revolution.

ACCIDENT AT MUMM BAKERY
From Thursday's EaIIy
This morning the F. II. Mumm

the result that the ovens could not
be used until repaired and making
it necessary to shorten the output
of the bakery for the day. Fred is
having the damage repaired at once
and hopes to have everything back
to normal by tomorrow and usual
supply of their delicious bread out

Last evening was the closing band
