stone with the fashionable contingent,
the High school military hop at Keep
Dancing academy for the younger set

last dinner-dance of the'season at the
Koine. ,
The military hop seems by far the
most fitting occasion for this day,
since all tile young men will appear in
full uniform, officers with, their clank
ing swords and everyone in full re
galia. Patrotic decorations will be
used in tne Hill, nags, Dunung anu

make noise, such as horns, whistles
and the like, will be given out, so that
in addition to being patriotic and mil
itary, they may have all the noise of
war. Since a special dance has been
arranged for the officers and their
partners, the young miss who has
been chosen for the attention of one

Lucky ?-Friday the 13th-Uniucky ?
Has Reason for Faith.
Thomas F. Sturgess, president of
the Board of I'uhlic Welfare and
editor of the Twentieth Century
Farmer, believes that Friday the 13th
is a happy combination for him. He
was born on this day and date. Mrs.
Sturgess was born on the thirteenth
day of a month. When he worked
as printer on the Omaha Republican
years ago Mr, Sturgess held slug No.
13, which means he was printer No.
13. He holds two insurance policies
with 13 in their numbers. "I always
have found that Friday and thirteen
have been lucky for me, so I have no
complaint to make when Friday hap
petisc on the 13th," said Mr. Sturgess.
On Perilous Mission.
Mayor Dahlman admits that he had
a feeling of trepidation about the day
when Mrs. Dahlman told him it was
Friday and the 13th. "I will tell you
that l.put my right shoe on first and
my right glove on first and I just
watched my step. When I reached
the city hall the first thing I heard
v as that Commissioners Withnell and
I'arks wanted me to go with them to
the South Side to present Gene Me
lady a bill for $670.53 for alleged dam
age to interior of the Auditorium. I
remonstrated, because it was Friday
I he 13th, but they insisted that I
should go, and so I agreed," said the
mayor, as he stepped into his automobile.
May Break Eggs.
Against the advice of his family,
tinted Slates Marshal Flynn started
for Fremont early yesterday morning.
"Don't cry, I always have good luck
on Friday the 13th. I will bring home
some eggs or butter," said the mar
shal as he waved a fond adieu to the
members of his home nest.
His Hospital Day.
C. W. Britt, jr.. of the municipal
court, always regards Friday the 13th
as a day which should be watched
cautiously. On Friday, June 13, 1913,
he was stricken with a serious malady
agd was sent to a hospital. He has
a feeling that something will happen
in him hpfnre flip Hnv has nnssFH intn
the whirligig of time.
Likes the Number.
"Just show me anything with a '13'
in it and I'll grab it," said George
Soucie, the portly floor walker in the
Brandeis stores, who holds forth near
the south entrance on the Sixteenth
street side.
Mr. Soucie was born on Friday, the
thirteenth day Of September, a good
many years ago. He has liked that
day ever since.
"I have always been lucky in any
venture that was in any way con
nected with the figure '13,'" he said.
"So 1 just take on anything that
comes along on that day.
"Why, say, man, I live in house
number Mil North Thirty-sixth
street. I bought a piano for $313. 1
bought a dining room table for $13.50
and if 1 can find anything fo$13 or
13 cents today I'm going to buy it.
1 like the number and it has been
very good to me."
Walks Down Stairs.
"If I had thought about this being
Friday the thirteenth," said Margaret
Walsh of the traffic bureau of the
Commercial club, "I should not have
ridden the elevator tto the top of this
high Woodmen of the World build
ing this morning. Now that 1 am up
here I don't think I'll go down for
lunch. And when evening conies I
believe I will walk down the seven
teen flights of stairs instead of risk
ing the elevators."
Gets Coin on 13th.
R. B. Frost, 2776 Capitol avenue,
celebrated his thirteenth birthday on
Friday the 13th by having unusual
success on his round of collections
Uor The Bee.
Thirteen Join Navy.
Thirteen patriotic lads failed to be
terrified by Friday, the 13th, and they
were enlisted in the navy here during
the morning.
"Thirteen always was my lucky
number, and in combination w ith Fri
day, also lucky in my life, the sup
posed doube hoodoo has turned out
to be the happiest day of mv life,"
said Sidney Kindle, 20. of Pawnee
City.
Thursday he applied 1 1 .join the
navy, but was turned down, because
his heart fluttered a little during ex
amination. He broke down and cried
over the great disappointment. But
when re-examined on Friday, the
13th, Sidney passed O. K., without
a sign of heart flutter, and was en
listed and sent to the training station.
Doni New Uniform.
James F. Connelly, in civilian life
an attorney, but in the present war
emergency first lieutenant of Com
pany B of the Guard, believes that
Friday the 13th is a good day to start
anything new. He therefore appeared
Friday morning wearing a brand new
uniform and "toting" a big new .41
caliber army revolver in the new belt
and holster. He wears the artillery
outside his coat.
"Unlucky for Wilhelm."
When he siaped up as the thirteenth
navy recruit oil Friday the thirteenth
Chester B. Reynolds. 21, Madison, S.
D., remarked: "That will be unlucky
for the kaiser!"

"At a meeting of our national exe

i'nitcd Slates Agricultural depart
ment, decision has been reached that
one of the greatest services scouts
can render will be to raise crops. Not
1 lily lis the 1916 crop short and in
adequate and situation critical, but 50
per cent of estimated production for
1917 has been contracted for by for

"The United States must feed Eu

and local councils should co-operate
fully in every crisis. Success of
American soldiers depends upon home
support to the extent of ten producers
to every soldier.
"Slogan at this time is 'Every scout
to feed a soldier.' This is the season
and time for action; tomorrow may
bee too late."

Electric Light Is So Cheap Every
Family Can Afford It
THINK of your most common necessities-
potatoes, eggs, shoes, clothing, etc., how their cost has
increased during the past year. Cost has gone up but quality is no better.
With Electric Light also a decided household necessity it's
an entirely different story. Other things may have advanced in price, but
not Electric Light. Other things may have suffered in quality, but not
Electric Light.
Electric Light is cheaper today than ever before and the qual
ity is better.
Because Electric Light is one of the few necessities whose cost
has not advanced, you really owe it to yourself to share its many marked
economies.
Remember, the modern way of wiring a home no matter
when built does not ihterefere with household routine and does not
damage walls or floors. Call Douglas 1062 for further information.
