MEN OF ACHIEVEMENT

Young men and women who seize
upon every opportunity TO read and
study the lives Of great men are often
fortunate in the benefits they gather.
Studying the lives of thos who have
gone tar up the ladder of success is
no mean recreation for the boy or the
girl
! 1t makes you aspire to greater use
I lulncss for your ownself Reading
the Accomplishment of the persons
who have done the thinking and act
ing for the world is pastime worth
great deal in the young life.
Fer many year since first we be-
gar to note the greatest among the
newspaper men Of the country, we
have watched eagerly for the things
that other people wrote and said a.
bout Henry Waterson, editor of the
Ccurer.Journal of Louisville, Ky.
People who know Henry Waterson
know the paper ard the town. 1t is
the man that makes it all
Fer many year he has held high
est place among journalists of Ameri-
ca. The paper has used to do the
thinking and writing Of the country
for a great party is fifty years old.
IN writing about the man the editor of
the Times Union jacksonville, has
this to say:
Taking charge at an age when other
men are learning and beginning to
climb, still holding the helm at ar
age when other men are beginning to
realize an impairment Of their mental
rs we'll us their physical energies, the
paper which means the man-for
fifty years has held dead level of
fcrce and vigor and influence, but it
was lonely level to which others
might aspire but could not climb.
The New York World, the Chicago
Tribune the Cincinnati Enquirer are
great papers, but they need the names
cf the cities in which they are publish
ed to give them identity in the pub
mind. The Courier-Journal needs no
such help, Everybody where tits
published and what il is.
Christmas is gone but the New Year
IS near at hand and 50 ON this last
day of 1917 we wish the CourierJour-
nal and its editor many prosperous
and happy and useful years.

Newspapers and journals all over

mount of suffering that is going to be
experienced in this community if he

to a very great degree. The next six

are needed and supplying all of them
is by no means an easy task
We ought not to step for coal 1t

EDDIE O'CONNOR WITH
15OTH FIELD ARTILLERY

Eddie O'Connor, who went from
here as a member of old Company B,
Second Idaho regiment, became de-
tached from the company after its
arrival in England, on account OF a
slight injury which prevented him
from accompanying his comrades to
France. However, Eddie has been in
France for some time and is now a
member OF headquarters company,
5Oth y. s. field artillery.
In letter to his mother, received
tso weeks ago, he stated that he had
been assigned to the wireless detail
and found the study OF wireless teleg-
raphy very interesting. In another
letter, received at the same time, in
which he wrote about sending the
soldiers tobacco, he says:
eff you know of any one who
wants to send tobacco to soldiers, tell
them to send 1t to some one direct,
but not to make any donations to the
tobacco fund as I haven't seen any
soldiers yet who have received any

socks and things like that are turned
over to the headquarters corps by
the Red Cross, and are issued by the
government to the men who haven't
been sent any, but don't think much
