RURAL SCHOOLS AT
WSPOSAlOF WOMEN
County Councils of Defense
.Will Be Permitted to Use
Them on State Regis
tration Day. -
(From a-Btaff Correspondent)
Lincoln, Sept 1. (Special.) All
rural school buildings have been
placed at the disposal of the women
of 4ht county councils of defense for
registration day by State Superin
tendent demons, on request of the
governor, with the further suggestion
that registration day, wjiich is Sep
tember 12, be made a half holiday on
that afternoon.
The state superintendent's office is
having a serious time trying to supply
teachers to school districts over the
state.
According to Assistant Superintend
ent Dixon, the supply does not ap
pear to be equal to the demand, al
though he believes that the attraction
of higher wages, which some are of
fering, may bring into the profession
many who are able to teach, but who
l'ive been kept out of it because of
the smaller salaries paid.
Some of the 'calls simply say, "Send
us a teacher," and do not stipulate
the price to be paid, some of these ad
mitting that it is simply a question of
teacher and not salary

ENROUTE WITH THE
"FIGHTING FOURTH
'1
Corporal M. Murray Balsam
Tells What Nebraska Soldier
Boys Are Doing on Way
to Deming.
By CORPORAL M. MURRAY
BALSAM.
Enroute to Deming, N. M., Aug.
27. (Special.) Aboard the Second
Section With the "Fighting Fourth."
We just landed in Vaughn, N. M.,
andI hiked to mail this to The Bee.
The town is really so smU that wer
you to commit a cringe in the front
end of the train, you could not be ar
rested for it in the rear end.
It's the kind of a town that the
movies portray, with its one street,
four or five saloons with picturesque
names, a couple ot general mer
chandise stores and to finish the pic
ture, a postoffice.
However, the town really does
boast of a swell depot with a well
restaurant and swell prices for its
"eats."
The whole of its population, about
forty in number, turned out to greet
us, and we certainly appreciated the
tumultuous applause and hearty re
ception tharwas accorded us.
Now, I'd like to go back a couple of
days- Sunday afternoon (August 26)
we hiked for about twenty minutes
through the streets of Emporia, Kan.,
and when the boys were given the
command of "Route step" they made
the town ring as they sang to the
tune of "Tipperary:
It's a long way out to the trenches,
It's a long way, thats' true, x
It's a long way to dear old I'arla,
Arrdss the ocean blue.
Ooodbye re. old Nebraska,
Farewell, pal of mine.
We will all be eating Christmas dinner
On the bansk ot the Rhine.
You'll find fiis lyric in my song
book. The boys are feeling fit as a
fiddle ami woe to the Germans if the
"Fighting Fourth" ever meets them
on the battlefield in the high spirits
they now enjoy.
Our accommodations are without
doubt as good as can be had- No day
coaches, no lame backs, trying to get
a night's sleep. No, sir. We all have
real "honest-to-goodness' berths, if
you please.
After mess, it's readin', writin',
checkers, cards, small talk, and, of
course, "Our Agony quartet."
Mnpday afternoon we hiked
through Canadian, Tex., a pretty little
town, a few views of which I here
with enclose. When the order was
given for dismjssal the air sure trem
bled with the yells. I don't believe
the merchants regretted our .visit, nor
have the boys regretted the money
they spent on pop, candy, delicacies
or postcards.
Our mascots are.doing splendidly,
thank you, and as for ur cat, she cer
tainly can voice her approval of the
jollity and hilarity that is going on
all around her.
There goes the bugle blowing "as
sembly,"and I'll have to quit until to
morrow. Ijdofl't know just what
town you'll get this from, as I shall
drop it off as soon as the train
slows up. .
I came back to the train to type
write this to you. I'm in hopes my
readers will forgive this abrupt end
ing, bat I'll try to make amends the
next time with a more detailed ac
ftunt, spicier and real home-like.

t. i. ... r..i.i: f :u
Tobitt, and Charlotte Townsend and
Dr. E. T. Manning, of the public
school medical department, will mecf
the principals for a special confer
ence. For the first time in the his
tory of the public schools the officials

that condition by redistricting some
of the schools.
Registrations were held at the three
high schools during the week.
The Board of Education will hold a
regular meeting on Tuesday evening,
on account of Monday being a legat
holiday,
Members of the Douglas County
Association of Nebraska Pioneers
have arrived at that stage in their ex
istence where their actions are to
some extent governed by the condi
tion of the weather. This had con
siderable to do with the attendance
at the Pioneers' picnic, held in Han
scom park Saturday.
The regular annual picnic of the
Jioncers was held in Miller park last
une and it was so successful that it
was determined to hold another, a
sort of a follow-up picnic. Saturday
was the date set for the gathering
and early indications gave promise of
a crowd. Then the sky ffecame over
cast with heavy clouds and at one
time there was a light sprinkle. This
scared the Pioneers out and of the
1.500 members of the association in
the cfty and nearby, not more than
15 Oattended the picnic. However,
those who were there had a splendid
time and those who were not there,
do not know what they missed.
Baskets Come Too.
Shortly after noon baskets and car
tons of cooked provisions of all kinds
commenced to arrive in the park and
at 1 o'clock, when the lunch was
served, there were enough good things
on the tables to have fed an army.
There were various sandwiches, Sal
ads, cakes, pics, ice cFeam and coffee
and everything was done to a turn.
Prior to the lunch there was a sea
son of story-telling, the Pioneers re
counting the events and features of
early days when Omaha was a village
and when the buffalo and the Indian
fought for supremacy not so very far
west of where the Omaha High
school building now stands.
Tribute to Pioneers.
Following th lunch came the pro
gram of the day, a party of colored .
singers furnishing the music, singing
songs and playing on banjos. Then
there was the oratory, Moses O'Brien
introducing the speakers. The prinr
cinal address w-s by Captain Adams,
who paid a tribute to the Pioneers
and then spo'ceof present conditions,
praising the loyalty of the Amreican
people and those of Nebraska in par
ticular for what they are doing to.
strike down a German foe and bring
abotu lasting peace. - '
Mayor Dahlman characterized the
Nebraska pioneers, and especially
those of Douglas county as natfon
builders, men and women who dared
to leave homes of comfort and luxury
in the east and move into a wilder-
ness, that their emiaren ana meir
chilwdren's children might be en
riched by their labors. No country
on earth and no state i nthe union
had as energetic, intelligent and pa
triotic a lot of "men and women ,as
did Nebraska during the pioneer days,
asserted the mayor. .
