PARTY Of SEVENTy-F|VE
ON HIKE OF FIVE MILES
Trip Through Wooded Sections of
the District, West and
Northwest.

Many new faces were noted in the
party of seventyfive wanderlusters
who went for five-mile hike starting
| from Chevy Chase Circle yesterday. The
! leaders were Walter W. Paige and c.
NJ. Sterns and the route followed LED
| from the circle, along Belt and Reno
roads across small wooded section to
| the District line on Wisconsin avenue,
| thence northwest to small branch and
| to the abandoned right of way of the
old Chevy Chase-Glen Echo car line.
The official account follows:
During part of which time we were
led by a small flock of geese, two of the
boys driving them along.
Stop Made at Old Snowden Place.
After stopping a moment at a spring
the trail continued through another
open woods section to the River road
and to the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
tracks. where the road was left and
trails were followed through the thick
woods to the west. A stop was made at
the old Snowden house, built nearly 200
years ago, and occupied for nearly
forty years by w. B. Stacks. who gave
the wanderlusters hearty welcome.
Here Gen. Washington made frequent
visits about the time of the revolution
ary war. The house is built of rough
stone and has had very few changes
made, the ancient hinges and doors still
doing excellent service.
The old-time dinner bell, attached to a
dead stump about twenty feet high, still
calls the hands to dinner, and is used
also as signal in an emergency. The
old oaken bucket is replaced by a newer
one. but the cold, clear water is just as
refreshing as ever it was. Col. Joseph /.
keefer told of the history of the place
from 1875.
After leaving Mr.. Stacks place, q
private road along by a held of corn was
taken. and thence along enchanting paths
| and trails to the Conduit road, just below
the Mohican Lodge. passing Glen Echo
Heights settlement on the way.

ENCAMPMENT OF GAR.
TO BRING GREAT CROWD
Citizens Committee Preparing to
Entertain Between $4,000 and
100000 Visitors.

The National Capital is prepared to
welcome during Grand Army week, the
last of this month. host of visitors.
mum berng between $4,000 and 100000.
Next to presidential Inauguration, the
semi-centennial Grand Army celebra-
ton is bringing to Washington the
largest crowd in the history of the
city.
Conservative estimates place the
number of old soldiers who will be in
Washington to attend the encampment
at 10000.
Capacity of Hotels Taxed
Thomas Grant, secretary of the citi-
zens' committee in charge of providing
accommodations for this remnant of
the Grand Army and their admiring
friends. is daily flooded with letters
asking for reservations. Already he has
taxed the capacity of the principal
hotels and is fast depicting the list of
available places in rooming houses.
All visitors to Washington at this
time are carefully protected against
eXorbitant charges. Those having
rooms to rent have filled their appli-
cations with Secretary Grant, stating
the prices at which the rooms be
hired. AS Mr.. Grant receives applica
tions for reservations he sends list
of these rooms, with the prices, to
those planning to visit Washington,
and they make their own selections,
knowing in advance just what the
charges for these rooms are to be.
The boarding house keepers have been
advised and they have practically all
followed the advice to keep their rates
moderate during the time of the en-
campment.
The Grand Army comprises forty-six
different departments, each state con-
stituting department, with the eN
ception that the following states are
combined: Georgia and South Carolina.
Louisiana and Mississippi. Colorado
and Wyoming. and California and
Nevada. The District of Columbia com
prises one department under the name
of the Department of the Potomac
There are approximately 5000 posts in
the United States.
Voting Strength of Encampment.
The commander-in- chief of the Grand
Army is David J. Palmer of Des Moines.
Iowa. The encampment (the business
organization) is made up of the past
and present officers of the Grand Army
of the Republic, past and present de-
partmental officers and one delegate
for each 800 members of department
In all there will be between 1.500 and
1900 accredited delegates. but IL is
estimated that the voting strength will
be about LOO delegates. The remain
ing thousands will be merely visitors
to the encampment.
The chief organizations allied with
the Grand Army. all of which will hold
their meetings and reunions during en-
campment week, are the Woman's Re
lief Corps, the Ladies of the G. A. r.,

replies to same. This advertisement
was in only one day. OF course, a
certain percentage of the replies were
from mechanics who were out Of
work, due to existing conditions in
their respective lines, and from the
floating class, who are willing to
accept anything at any figure so as
to enable them to exist until they
can beat it back to the road. But
IS per cent of the replies were from
men who had the experience that we
desired, the family responsibilities
and the character that would stand
the hottest kind of an investigation.
In order to employ our man it was
necessary to apply the experience and
character analysis test.
Private agencies make the state
ment that they do all the "culling"
out and the investigation, but had l
placed my order with them do you
believe that the first man or the tenth
that was sent would have Deen put to
work without applying this test? Or
is there any manufacturer who would
put any man to work without apply
ing these principles? If the test must
be made regardless from where the
help comes from, then is it not far
better to use the advertisement me-
dunn and select the employee by this
method, either the laborer or exec
utiVe.
When any employer by contract or
otherwise has his help supplied by
private agencies and in this way COM
pels his prospective employee to pay
81 or more as registration fees and
also anywhere from So. to $12, or
probably an entire weeks wages to
the employment agencies for the job,
does he believe. that the new empIoye

of the transaction? Invariably so

The republican county central
committee and a number of other
active republicans met at the Office
|of G. H. Swiney. secretary of the
committee, Saturday afternoon, in
the interest of the candidacy Of SEN
|ator Cummins for president. A good
.ly number were present, some of
whom had never before been sup
porters of the senator. Each and
every one is for the nomination Of
Cummins for president next year and
each pledged himself to do what he
could to bring about that result. The
state committee having the man
agcment of Cummins campaign in
charge, is trying to raise a fund OF
100000 to promote his interests
and 1t is hoped that Hamilton coun-
ty will give $500. The city of Des
Moines has pledged S50,000 and
there should be no trouble to rais-
ing the other $4,000 in the state Mt
large. At the meeting Saturday,
Gilbert knudson was made chair
man of the finance committee with
power to appoint two others! He
appointed Ray Johnson Of Williams
and f. F. King of this city. A sub
committee on finance was then cre-
ated by making each one of the

An INTERESTING AD-
DRESS BY NICK MILLER
Large Audience Hears Marshalltown
s Nan at the Congregational
Church. II.

| One Of the most remarkable and
fascinating addresses ever heard in
Webster City was given by Nick
Miller to a large audience Sunday
night at the Congregational church.
The subject was, Money. its place
in modern life and what Jesus
taught about it,.
| Mr.. Miller is member OF the Bap-
Ttist church at Marshalltown, and he
spends his life and substance in act
live practical Christian service. His
warm-hearted message comes out Of
his own personal experience and
leaves unique religious impression
upon his hearers. Mr.. Miller Is an
Unusually strong personality. has a
fine platform presence and win
some manner Of speech. For more
than an hour he held his audience
|spellbound, not by oratory but by
sheer force of thought and stricking
ideas, as. he made q close analysis Of
modern business and social civiliza-
tion from the purely Christian view.
What did Jesus say about it?' and
What would Jesus do under these
modern oonditions?" indicate Mr.
Miller's point of view. Mr.. Miller
takes his religion seriously. He be.
lieves Jesus Christ with all his heart,
and in his address last night he made
a clear cut logical application Of the
message OF Jesus to the social con-
ditions OF our time.
Nick Miller has hadia remarkable
personal experience. An earnest
evangelistic Christian man. years
ago he found, what everybody finds
who tries to do Christian work, that
his efforts to reach men were COM
pletely blocked by the fact that ev-
erybody was in the mad persuit OF
money, and that it was impossible
for men to consume their life in the
persuit OF money ana at the same
time really love their fellow men as
Jesus commanded them to do. This
situation led Mr.. Miller to re-exam-
inc the Gospels in order to see what
might be the message of Jesus on the
vexed problems of social and relig-
ious economies. Mr.. Miller's an
alysis of the Gospels on this point.
and especially his exposition OF
Jesus temptation in the will
derness, was tremendously illum-
mating and full of new interest. In
deed, from beginning to end, Mr..
Miller's address proved to be a
searchlight shot into the heart OF
the problems most perplexing in the
social. commercial and religious re-
lationships of our time. Whether or
not you were prepared to follow Mr..
