DO YOU BELIEVE IN SIGNS?

A crack in your chimney is a
sure sign that you are going to
move.
If you dream of smelling
smoke it is a sign that you are
asleep and had better wake up.
To see a paper-hanger pap
ering over a flue hole indicates
an impending loss.
It is bad luck to look in a
dark closet with a match.
If you can see your shadow
from an oil lamp while filling
a gasoline stove it indicates a
crowd of people coming to
your funeral.
When the wind means it is
extremely bad luck to burn
trash near the huose.
If you smell gas or gasoline
and look for it with a light, ii
foretells that you are about to
start on long journey.

A letter from G. o. Magness
states that he and Mrs. Mag
ness arrived in Corpus Christi,
Tex, last Saturday afternoon.
They stopped off a few hours
at San Antonio where he met
w. T. Nesbit who is now locat-
ed in San Antonio, and also
met Mr.. Wilson of Sulphur
Rock who is in the army and is
stationed at Fl. Sam Houston
at San Antonio.
Mr.. Magness writes that
Southwest Texas is a very poor
country, and having had no
rain there in two years it is
bone dry. He writes that be-
tween San Antonio and Corpus
Christi he saw numbers of
three and four year old steers
that were so poor they could
hardly walk, and says the peo-
pie are cutting the thorns off
the cactus and feeding it to
their stock.
He and Mrs. Magness are
enjoying the fine climate, and
ne says people are sitting in
the parks under the palm trees.
Both San Antonio and Corpus
Christi are full of visitors, most
of whom are Northern people
who go there to enjoy the
splendid climate.

0f2,179 Troops on Board
Torpedoed Ship Only
268 Are Reported
to be Missing

The u. S. War Department
at Washington announces that
a British transport carrying g.
179 American troops was tor
pedoed and sunk in the war
zone.
It is reported that 1912 of
the American soldiers on board
the transport have been &C
counted for, leaving 267 unac-
counted for and these have
probably been lost.
The transport was torped-
oed off the Irish coast and the
survivors were landed at Bun
cranna and Larne, in Ireland.
The troops were aboard the
British liner, Tuscania, man.
ned by British sailors, with a
British naval guard and con-
voyed by British warships.
The soldiers aboard the Tus-
cania belonged to no distinctive
military units from any state
and were largely small detach-
ments from all parts of the
country being forwarded to join
the forces in France.
Although prior to january /
of the present year there were
more than 100000 American
troops in France, according to
the statement made by Secre-
tary of War Baker, the Tus-
cania was the first transport
to be torpedoed on the voyage
from an American port to
France. Several American
transports, however, have been
torpedoed on the return jour
ney after having debarked
troops.

ICE GORGE BREAKS
Heavy Damage When Gorge
In Mississippi Breaks

/ Osceola, Feb. 6.-With a
roar that could be heard for
miles the giant gorge here
broke Tuesday night and let
loose thousands of tons Of ice,
which started down the river
carrying with it scores of
steamboats,, barges, tugs and
numerous small crafts which
have been imprisoned in the
gorge for more than a week.
The gorge is more than so
miles in length, and its crush
ing effect has already destroy
ed some of the largest craft on
the river. Several of the boats
imprisoned in the gorge are
Ohio river steamers. More than
half a million dollars in river
property is anchored behind
Mud Island, at Memphis in
hopes of averting when
the gorge passes that city. The
property damage already done
by the gorge is estimated at
81, 100000.

The Huns Abroad and
The Pacifists at Home

(Contributed by CASPAR WHIT
NEY, now at the front for the IN. T.
Tribune" to the National Security
Leagues campaign Of Patriotism
Through Education.)
Although Germany, while yet
friend intrigued against our peace
and order, urged Japan and Mexico TO
make war on Us, and murdered our
men, women and children, there are
those among us processing loyalty and
intelligence who practically say this is
not our war and appear unable TO real
ize that the defeat of the b0che is as
vital to us Americans as was the VIC
tory OF 1776.
Then we declared for Independence;
now we fight to maintain It,
1t lis not merely that ve fight in
answer to indignity and material in
jury done us through attslck on our
rights as a nation and on the lives
of our citizens-not merely to uphold
our place among self-respecting peo-
ples-that we are at war: but literally
for our self preservation rs republic.
To muzzle this war-mad wild beast
we have taken up arms--that the
world shall be safe for the freemen Of
the world.
The world cannot rest In peace while
Germany holds the destiny of other
peoples in her blood-dripping hands
The world cannot live in peace with
a people that coinmits, or permits her
sponsors to commit In her name, the
foul acts of treachery, of vandalism,
Of bestiality. OF murder, that have
marked the trail OF the German army
over Europe.
One doctrine or the other must pre-
vail; either the German brutal right of
might or the civilized might of right
one or the other-must succumll In this
conflict to the death. And should 1t
be the German doctrine-then shall we
fall under the domination Of q people
that have robbed and raped and looted
and burned and killed, that the
skultur" of q military oligarchy shall
live.
Prussianism is devoid Of honor,
truth, justice or mercy. as its own acts
have proved, and its defeat is neces-
sary first step for the peace Of the
world and the freedom Of civilization.
For the safety OF American irstitu-
lions it must be destroyed; for the
safety of American freedom, yours and
mine and Of all OF rs.
We are in the midst Of war. our war,
the war of every freeman, of every
| man and woman whe does not iniiorse
cowardly murderous assault upon the
weak and innocent, brutal injustice
! and atrocious acts; and IL we would
/ preserve the Stars and Stripes and all
they stand for we must fight the Huns
abroad and the pacifsts ut home with
/ ali our strength.
