KEEP LOOKING YOUNG
It's Easy-If You Know DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret of keeping young is to
feel young-to do this you must watch
your liver and bowe1s-there's no need
of having a sallow complexion-dark
rings under your eyes-pimples-a bill
ious look in your face-du11 eyes with
no sparkle. Your doctor will tell you
ninety per cent of all sickness comes
from inactive bowels and liver.
DR.. Edwards, a we11-known physician
in Ohio, perfected a vegetable COM
pound mixed with olive oil to act on
the liver and bowels, which he gave to
his patients for years.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the sub
stitute for ca1omel, are gentle in their
action, yet always effective. They bring
about that exuberance of spirit, that
natural buoyancy which should be en-
joyed by everyone, by toning up the liver
and clearing the system of impurities.

WHO DISCOVERED JERRY?

Those public-spirted and always readable news
papers, the Lewiston Banner and the Oroino Tribune,
have locked horns the proposition which of the
two discovered Jerome ]. Day the Democratic cand-
date for governor in 1918
This is issue that should be submitted to arbi-
traton and that without moments delay. critical
times such the present it would be criminal folly
to permit issue of this kind to around loose.
Whether Mr. Day would for governor under
any circumstances whatever is immateral The honor
trotting him out without any reference his wishes
the matter, is the all important consideration.
Of after they settle the main point the
Banner and the Tribune may confer with Mr. Day, the
Democratic party and the state of Idaho

.'Dixie."

The song Dixie" was written in
1870 by D. D. Emmett, and was first
publicly sung by Bryant's mintrelss in
New York, at Mechanics hall. The in.
spring air and the words, which were
in the darby dialect, appealed to the
South, where the song became popular.
1t became the battle song of the con-
federacy. There were two other
''Dixies," the one northern ballad and
the other a southern ballad of the Civil
war, by Albert Pike, which first ap-
peared in the Natchez (Miss.) Courier.
The origin of the phrase ''Dixieland"
is thought to be in the name of Mr..
Dixie, slave-holding New York citi-
zen, who moved to the South. His
large number of slaves, the story runs,
bemoaned leaving their old home,
which they called Dixie's Land. The
phrase spread and was appropriated
for the Southern states, which were
substituted for the original Dixieland.
The phonetic connection between the
word and Mason and Dixon's line also
has been pointed out. The boundary
line to the negroes was mason and
Dixie's" land.

had been learning how to skate for the
first time in their lives.
"The little GIRL" said Daddy, twas 8
wonderful skater. She could make the
most wonderful strokes and do all
sorts of fancy figures.
zone day when she was skating she
saw that a part of the ice was very
thin.
"'We must all stay away from this
spot said Annie as she pointed to the
dangerous place. For although Annie
was such a wonderful skater, she never
took any foolish risks.
"'All right the others shouted. But
just as Annie had spoken she heard a
heart-rending little cry near the spot
she said was dangerous.
"Don't go near there shouted her
companions. You said it was dan
gerous.'
"'But I heard a cry said Annie.
"'Maybe it's frog under the wa
ter said small Girl.
"'Frogs are asleep all winter said
Annie. And she skated off.
ssThere was another little cry of dis
tress and Annie skated carefully to-
ward the dangerous spot in the ice.
Through tiny crack little SPUR
rel had fallen. He had evidently been
running across the ice and had broken
through a little crack.
"Of course as the ice had gone
through with the weight of tiny
Squirrel, it gave huge groan and An
ME was in the water. Her hand caught
the little squirrel, and she held him
above her head.
'But then the hole she had fallen
into seemed to cover her up. She had
foated down under the ice, and she
couldn't get her head up.
Dramatically she moved her free arm
about, trying to crack the ice and make
q larger hole.
"At last she had it. But the time
had seemed like hours though it had
been but a few seconds.
Meantime her companions were
shrieking, crying and calling loudly for
help.
''From near at hand came some big !
Men with ropes and sledges.
"Annie's head was above the hole, |
but every time she tried to get above
the ice it only broke the more and /
the hole became larger and larger. An
MES skates and heavy clothes were
holding her down in the water, too.
"All the time she held the Squirrel

, east Idaho, as Sweet did in norther
Idaho. So when Dubois told his friend
in the legislature to stay with what
ever Sweet wanted, the combination
landed the prize
l don't believe the people in southern
Idaho in those days realized the i'm
portance of the university. Nor do
believe that it could ever, at later
day, have been brought to Moscow
Even at that time it would have been
impossible without the cooperation OF
Fred T. Dubois and his friends.
So to Willis Sweet, who afterwards
represented Idaho in congress and who
now resides at San Juan, Porto Rico,
belongs the honor of locating the Uni
versity of Idaho at Moscow.
Strange to say Willis Sweet is also
responsible for the location of the
Washington Agricultural college at
Pullman. 1t came about in this way:
When the legislature of Washing
ION aulHOTlZeu TIE eSIdDllSuHleHl VI I'LL
agricultural college, the location was
determined by a commission. On that
commission was man by the name of
Black who attended the University Of
Nebraska as a student with Sweet. AS
remember it now, North Yakima and
Pullman were competitors for the lOca-
ton Of this college with about even
chances of winning.
William Chambers and H. V. Windus
were in Olympia working for Pullman.
One day Chambers in talking with
Black discovered that they had been
college chums He Immediately tele-
graphed Sweet to come to Olympia at
his expense. This he did, and as
result of his trip Black swung over to
Pullman and Pullman won.
Pullman was anxious to give Sweet !
J banquet on his return, but he de-
;lined the honor.
This is the real story of how Moscow
Ind Pullman won in the location of
hese two great schools.

tains 142 acres, all plow land. Claude
paid $4,000 for the farm and con-

OUR PRESIDENT TODAY

Woodrow Wilson is president of the United States
today and every citizen is with him in the crisis
that is upon the nation
1t makes no difference now whether men are
Republicans Democrats members of other parties
in ordinary times Today all party politics is forgotten
and every is plain American.
In nation blessed with free speech it is natural
that much will be said that would be better left unsaid
This is especially true in times of stress Men in high
places targets much that thoughless
and harmful President Wilson has been subjected to
terrific broadsdes of censure for things has
or left undone He will be scored and lampooned in
the future doubt. That seems to be the American
way of doing things.
But this is time for to bride their tongues.
President Wilson has made mistakes of course. He will
make mistakes in the future, especially if actual
comes. No could occupy such a position presi
dent of the United States and make serious mis-
takes when all the world is in commissions The fact
that the president is human and prone to make mis-
takes is all the reason why he should have the
united support and sympathy of all the people.
Then thoughess critics should profit by the exper-
fence of who exhausted the possibilities their
abuse of Abraham Lincoln in another great national
crisis 1t is safe say that, in the light of history,
of those would rather tear their tongues out
by the roots than repeat the things said then in
the heat of passion.

Editor Star-Mirror:
Who was responsible for the loca
tion of the University of Idaho and the
Washington Agricultural college al
Pullman?
In order to give the readers of this
article a clear understanding of how
Moscow became the seat of learning
for Idaho it will be necessary to go
back to the early history of Moscow.
In the early SOS Charles Hopkins
was the editor and proprietor of the
Colfax Gazette, and Ivan Chase was
assistant editor. AS a venture Mr..
Hopkins sent Chase to Moscow with
a small printing press and the news
paper established was christened the
Moscow Mirror.
Soon after the establishment of the
paper young man by the name of
Willis Sweet, just graduated from the
University of Nebraska, appeared in
Colfax looking for a job. Being a
printer he was hired by Hopkins to
take charge of the Moscow Mirror in
order to relieve Chase that he might
return to his position as assistant
editor of the Gazette.
Soon afterwards another young man,
Fred L. Dubois, arrived in Idaho from
Illinois, with the appointment of United
States marshal. These two young men
met and both being college graduates,
they became fast friends.
Sweet was an orator of high order
and when Dubois concluded to make
the race for delegate in congress from
the territory of Idaho, he chose Sweet
to make the nominating speech. This
cemented the friendship between them
to such an extent that they were ready |
to assist each other in any capacity.
Sweet conceived the idea of having
the University of Idaho located at Mos
COW. AS he had no money, even to
make the trip to Boise, he prevailed
IN Henry Durham and M. j. Shields
% loan him 5000 to make the effort.
At that time Dubois absolutely con-
rolled the Republican party in south

ME.
"T don't believe I would have gone
after him. said the Man. Not when
the ice wouldn't even hold him up
"But the little Squirrel was being
warmed in a great coat they had put
around Annie. He began to make lit
tie sounds Of happiness and relief.
"'My little life doesn't amount to
much he seemed to say, to most Peo-
pie, but to you, little Girl, you saved
me- And he nestled closer.
"And the Squirrel lives near Annie's
home and is so tame with her that he
is just like pet Squirrel, for he knows
and loves his true little friend"
