HOSTS TO COMPANY K
Impromptu Entertainment Is Pro-
vided for Men Ordered to Spend
Night in Armory.

Proud Of the fact that their COM
muity was to send out company of
well trained soldiers for possible duty
on the Mexican border or even farther
southwark, residents of Silver Spring,
Nd. last night provided an imprompte
entertainment for Company K, list
Regiment. Maryland National Guard,
that will long be remembered by its
members. The entertainment was
staged on the adjoining front lawns of
the residences of Mrs. Henry S. Parsons
and Miss X. NJ. Houghtaling.
Company K was to have gone into
camp at Laurel, Md, yesterday. but
later it was decided to wait until this
morning. So that an early start could
be made the company was ordered to
report to the armory last night and
spend the night there. Learning of
these arrangements Mrs. Parsons and
Miss Houghtaling suggested that resi-
dents of Silver Spring do something to
make the evening pleasant one for
the members of the company.

Order to Col. Simms.

Tho order specifically directs Col
Simms to call a meeting of the officers
named at the L street armory this
evening at 8 o'clock and make ummedi-
ate preparations for opening recruit
ing stations all over the city. However
in order to get these forces modified
and plans made for receiving recruits
and sending them to camp at Fort
Myer for training as quickly as posi-
BILE, Col. Simms has advanced the hour
of meeting to $50 o'clock this after
noon at the place designated in the
order
While final plans for the campaign
ordered by Gen. Harvey will not be
completed until the meeting this after
noon, Col. Simms said that stations
will be opened in different sections OF
the city and the various officers order
ed to duty under him would be placed
in charge and kept at work to recruit
the ranks of the guard to war strength
in the shortest time possible.
The methods Of advertising the cam
paign and getting men to enlist have
not vet been determined, but it is not
probable that the officers will sit
around in the stations and just wait for
the recruits to come in. There will be
plenty of hard work for them to do in
carrying out the order to push wig
orous campaign.

For the Republicans, senatorelect Hale has informed
Charles E Hughes Republican candidate for president
that the victory be considered an endorsement OF

The result of the election bore out the predictions Of
Republican leaders who prophesied the party would
arrv the state by 1900 plurality. The actual figures

It is possible, has been demonstrated since the
election for any party to lay claim to advantage IN

Cash Value Of An Education

The value Of an education has been estimated at S2
COO, and the estimate is reached in this way:
It has been found that the average man, with a
grade school and high school education $1,000
year and that he averages 40 years at work, which
makes his total income $4,000
The man without education, generally day labOrer
has been found in the 40 years to earn $4,000
The difference is $4,000.
The figures rather impressive as evidenelng the
worth whleness of securing education, but there
is even more than $4,000 worth of difference between
the of education and the average day labOrer
The day laborer by which is meant, Of the
skilled manual labOre is apt to less, rather than
more the latter years of his work period than the
figures Indicate On the other hand few Of educa

times that figure but the exceptional unskilled

When he does so, he has left the unslled class
It may then be assumed that the average educated

for total Of $4,000. That would make the value Of
his education $4,000 the difference between his
