Nebraska THOMAS FIGURES SCHOOL AID CASH State Superintendent Computes Amounts that May Be Given in State. APPORTIONMENT TO DISTRICTS From a Staff Correspondent.) Ul(fl‘OLN.. Dec. 2. —(Bpecial )—The state superintendent has just completed the distribution of ald for weak school disoicts. The law contemplates seven wonths school for each district in the | state. Many districts find it impoasible to maintain seven monthe after making tie nximuin Jevy of 35 mills and adding | thereto the estimated state appo.tion- | ment. The statutes provide that each dls- | trict shall have $36 for seven montbs and this amount Is taken as the basis for yeckoning ald. The last legislature changed the method of distributing the temporary school fund. It 1s expected | that under the new method the western districts will get an additional amount | which wil'! more nearly enable them to | become self-supporting. In checking up the valuation of western districts the | state superintendent finds that the valu- ation i Increased almost 10 per cent in many places, which will enable these diu- tricts to ralse an additional amount, In | Brown county ten districts voluntarily | levied 4 mills.

MUNY CHRISTMAS IN LINCOLN (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Dee. 25.—(Special)—Arrang- Ing of the program for the annual legis lative league banquet has been placed in the hands of the legislative reference bu- reau and Director A. L. Sheldon and As sistant Director Thorne Browne will pro- ceed to get busy at once laying out a line of procedure which will make the 1916 wession the best yet pulled off.

The municipal Christmas festivities took place on the state house grounds this evening. Two blg evergreen trees from Joe Stecher's county were procured and erected on & big platform on the north side of the capitol. Back of these trees & bower of evergreen with a flag of elec- tric lights, while colored lights and spangled ropes of many different hues were entwined about the bower and among the trees. Thousands of electric lights of different colors gave the place a very pretty ap pearance. Captain Fred Thornburg's reg imental band gave a concert early in the evening and about 300 singers mingled their voices in Christmas carols Elks Piay Santa Clauns. Lincoln Elks pulled off their annual Santa Claus stunt to the poor kids of Lincoln this ‘morning in the usual suc- cessful manner, although this year ap- peared to outrival all previous attempts. They began last year by engaging the city Auditorium and putting on a few vaudeville stunts from the local thea- ters to amuse the kids, and this year's program was along the same line. About 3,000 boys and girls took advantage of the opportunity to get free toys and candy. Fenton Some Showman. ‘Warden Fenton is beginning to make @& reputation as a showman, or rather as & promoter. The warden generally makes g60d at anything he undertakes, and his shows at the penitentiary have always been good. This year he put on an en- tirely new program with new stunts, mo- tion pictures and the litke, and having the inspiration of a show house at the pen which would be a credit to towns of 10,000 people, the talent which he has under his supervision turned themselves loose in good shape. Many of the “shut- ins” would make good on the vaudeville cirouit, and the crowd which filled the auditorium at the pen this evening was well entertained and enjoyed one of the best programs ever put out at the insti- tution.
