Colonel P. L. Hall, commander of
the regiment, made flying trip to
Omaha from Lincoln today and hur-
ried back to the Capital City.
Colonel Hall and Major H. L. Har-
ries took luncheon together at the
Omaha club, after which Major Har-
ries went to Lincoln with Colonel
Hall.
Those of the men who have heard
rumors Of moving are on tiptoe OF
expectancy, They are very anxious to
get started for the border and all
have long been envious of the men
Of Company c who have preceded the
remainder Of the regiment to the
training camp.

he was ordered to pay her $40 week

in which they were living.
"But what about the potatoes that
I took care of all summer? He is 60

What Arc You WORTH

Have you any idea! Did you ever
capitalize your wages and figure 1t
out? This Is the way to ascertain how
much o'r labor is really worth.
Fo. i.-tance, a nan who has saved
$4,000 and invested it at per cent re-
ceives an annual income OF $1,000 Il
year, or about $50 week
The clerk in the Office or the work
man in the factory who gets $50 a
week therefore receives the income at
) per cent on an investment OF $4,000.
He is $4,000 man-that is, he is
getting as much week by week us the
man with $4,000 who depends solely
upon the income from his investments
ana who does not work for living.
The man who earns $40 week has
about The same income as the investor
with $4,000 put out at interest at 5
per cent
So labor is capital. 1t has market
value. 1t can be called commodity
because 1t can be sold by its owner the
same as any other possession he may
have.-John A. Sleicher in Leslie's.

klnderuarten Traininc.

The increasing growth of kindergar-
tens IN this country has recently been
remarked by the United Suites commits
sioner OF education, who said: with
in the last six or seven years there has
been more progress In the establish
ment Of kindergartens in cities, towns
and Industrial villages Of this country
than IN any previous period of equal
length. This Is especially true Of
kindergartens supported by public
school funds This progress has been
largely due to the activities of the Ma
tional Kindergarten association.
The kindergarten course secures to
the child an extra year Of education,
and as the boys and girls Of this coun-
try average only little over five years
IN school the value of this additional
training cannot lie overcstlmatcd.

Shotquns In War.

That shotguns should be largely uti-
lZed In modern warfare is the conten-
ton of n number of military experts.
1t is pointed out that such guns would
be particularly useful to sentries at
night time, as an intruder might more
easily be crippled and captured by a
spreading charge of heavy shot than by
a single bullet. Moreover. a person
moving quickly might often he missed
by shot from rifle, whereas snap
shot from n shotgun in semidarkness
could hardly fail to find its object.
In the trenches shotguns could be
used with success, A shotgun loaded
with about forty-eight grains OF pow
der and one and half ounces Of big
shot. with about twenty-five pellets,
would be Of much more value than the
rifle, as during Il night attack, either
