Why is man anyway? Though
he may start out to make the best

tire on, what good does it do him?
says the Britt Tribune. He can't
enjoy it because rheumatism gets

MAY START SOON.

The United States stands ready
to send an army to Europe when
ever the allies deem 1T wise to
divert the necessary shipping
from Transporting food to trans
porting men.
1t became known definitely yes.
terday that the government has
offered the allies troops, but has
suggested that the alarming
shortage of world shipping may
make it impracticable to send
them at once. In spite of OBJ
Jections of the general staff to
putting any American force ON
the firing line before the great
war army has been raised and
trained, the administration has
determined that the small contin-
gent earnestly desired by France
for moral effect shall be sent as
soon as possible. The general be-
lief IS that the way soon will be
found.

Counties must live within their
incomes In future. The Court
Of Appeals, in an opinion written
by Judge Carroll in the case of
the Nelson Fiscal Court against
Less McCrocklin, wiped the rec
ord clean in the Interpretation of
Section 157 of the constitution,
and held fatty that the section
means just what it says, the in
debtedness of county in year
shall not exceed its income, and
overruled previous opinions, un-
der which counties had been dis
regarding in their computations
fixed charges, like salaries and
the maintenance Of public build
ings.

SHIP LOSSES GIGANTIC.

Admiral Lord Beresford, speak
ing in London Monday and COM
planning of the incompleteness of
/ the official returns of the sub
marine sinkings, said the losses
were appalling. He declared
that he was so keen ON the mat
ter that he was inclined to risk
the pena.rles Of the defense of
the realm act and tell the people
himself, because until they were
Informed they would not realize
the Importance of economy.
1t is highly probably that the
submarine menace is worse than
reported, and it may yet prove
worse obstacle than either the
German army or navy. With
every available ship now carry
ing food to Europe, it is still evil
dent the food supply is gradual
ly running shorter-as well as
the number Of ships-and q crisis
is not far off. If Germany
should succeed in starving our
allies to submission, through the
agency of the submarines, our
part in the confitlc. would imme-
diately become a matter Of seri-
business. We should make q des-
perate effort to feed Europe.

Old Man Jinx Makes Presence Known In District On Friday
 the Thirteenth; Many Suffer

Ho-ho-hum! (denoting a long sigh of relieD.

Mars. Halley's Com ct and other elements that might have crashed into us if Friday the Thir- teenth had turned out like some peo- pie thought it would.
 There may be no foundation for the belief that Friday the Thirteenth is any more unlucky than any other day, but it must be admitted that certain things happened yesterday in peculiar ways Here are a few of them:
 Trouble Starts Early
 At 2:13 yesterday morning fire was discovered in a barber shop on Main street. Fire Chief Barney Norton rode thirteen blocks from his nome and with his firemen and thirteen vol unteers put the fire out in thirteen minutes At thirteen minutes after one. while Barney was walking Up the stairs of the city hall. he thought he heard an alarm come in from Box F. In his eagerness to get down stairs he slipped on the thirteenth step and rolled thirteen feet to the bottom When he clambered to his feet. he found that 13 cents had fallen out oi his pocket and disappeared through a crack in the floor thirteen inches long. Barney is sure Friday the Thirteenth is unlucky.

ploded and knocked Herbs hat thii- teen feet away. Picking up the head piece. Crib discovered that he wore size 61a. just one-half of thirteen.
 Col Rastus Q. Hatley. hero of the Annex fire. broke a mirror yesterday morning while combing his hair for the thirteenth time. Yesterday after noon when scoring the thirteenth run for the C. & A. single men who played the C. & A. benedic:s al Warren park Rastus slid thirteen feet beyond the home plate and. when the umpire re- fused to count the run. talked in a pe- culiar foreign language for thirteen minutes without stopping Colonel Hatley cla.ms the mirror brought him bad luck. and alleges that he broke it by dropping it. Other survivors of the Annex catastrophe, however claim that the mirror broke while Rastus was looking into it.
 Harry SeeIey Shows Speed
 In attempting to prevent black cat from walking in front of him at Lowell yesterday noon. Harry Seeley ran thir'cen blocks. and finally nan e-cG -O tross in front Of the unlucky biacl: caf. He returned Jc his ciga, stand and found that some one had taken thirteen of his thirteen-cent ci- gars.
 These are but few of the peculiar happenings in the district on the un- lucky day. The only reason they are brought to mind is because the writer was kicked thirteen times by a Yule on his thirteenth birthday and every time he sees the number he has about thirteen kinds of fits.
