come an occupant Of a padded cell.
However. the figure "13" is to him a
magic number and the remarkable
frequency with which it occurs in his
army record excites the interest Of
army officers and civilians.
He was the thirteenth man to be
called into the service from College
Springs. He was called for medical
examination on the thirteenth day OF
January and was drafted into service
the thirteenth day of May.
Mr.. Colve was also the thirteenth
man to enter the war from the Steb-
bins Hardware Company. of Chicago,
where he was employed, therefore his
service star will be the thirteenth in
the flag of the company.
He was placed in the 313th cavalry
at Del Rio, Texas. and he hopes to get
away with at least 313 Huns. He
lacked only one number Of being the
thirteenth man to be called in the
twenty which left Page county on, the
thirteenth day Of May. from Shen-
andoah, for the cantonment. Mr.. Colve
