EPIGRAM is NOT GREELEYS
Great Editor Long Wrongly Credited
With Advice, go West, Young
Man, Go West"

The famous -epigram Go West.

attributed to the pen of Horace Gree
ley. was not written first by that ven
ernble editor OF the New York Tri-
buce. but by John l.. b. Soule. editor
OF the Terre Haute Express. In 1851
Richard Thompson. afterward secre-
tary Of the navy. urged Soule to go
west and grow up with the country,
and praised the editors talents as a
writer. He wagered a barrel OF -four
that Soule could write an article that
would be attributed to Horace Gree
ley.
The result Of the suggestion was
a column editorial about the Vests
opportunities for young men. 1t de-
clared that Horace Greeley could new
er have given a young man better adj
vice than contained In the words. go
West. young man." Although stated
merely as Soule thought Greeley
might have put II. newspapers all
over the country began to credit Gree
ley with the epIgram. So widespread
did the quotation become that Gree
ley's paper reprinted the EDITORIAL
from the Express. with the following
footnote:
"The expression OF this sentiment
has been attributed to the editor OF
the Tribune enormously. But so fully
docs he concur in the advice II gives
that he indOrses most heartily the
epigrammatic advice OF the Terre
Haute Express. and joins In saying.

COULD NOT HOLD ARMADILL0
Writer Admits Understanding the
Strength OF Little Animal He
Was Trying TO Capture.

When he was small boy, w. FL.
Hudson. the author Of Far Away and
Long Ago" came TO grief while he
was attempting single-handed to cap
ture an armadillO. One day. he says.
i was standing on the mound at the
side OF a moat, some 40 yards from
where men were at work. when an
armadillo bolted from his earth and,
running 10 the very spot where l was.
standing. began vigorously digging 10
bury himself 10 the soil.
Neither men nor dogs had seen him.
and | at once determined TO capture
him unaided by anyone. l imagined
that 1t would prove 10 be very easy
task. Accordingly. laid hold OF his
black. bOne-cased tail with both hands
and began tugging to get him on the
ground, but could not move him. He
went on digging furiously. and getting
deeper and deeper into the earth. and
! soon found that instead Of my pull
ing him out he was pulling me In after
him. Ii hurt my pride to think that
an animal no larger than cat was
beating me In trial OF strength, and
held on more tenaciously than ever
and tugged and strained more violent
ly. until-not to lose him-I had to go
down fiat on the ground.
But II was all for nothing. First my
hands and then my aching arms were
"a rrfad doxvr into tho aarth and I was
forced 10 release my hold and get up
to rid myself OF the mold that he had
been throwing up Into my face and all
over my head, neck and shoulders

asks if a certain night will be conve-

Dear Mrs. Thompson: One evening
coming home from church, which is
about a block and a half away from
my home, two boy friends caught up
with me and asked if they might walk
along. We stood in front of my home
and talked for about half an hour.
Mother thought it was dreadful be-
cause there were two of them.
thought nothing Of it, as they are both
! friends and very fine boys. l think
one of the boys understands that
would not go with him and l thought
he just came along with the other
boy for fun.
What should a girl do if invited to
go to a certain place with boy, if she
knows she will go, but does not want
to go with him If she refuses and
later gets an invitation can she ac-
cept it if she wishes to?
THANK YOU.
1t was al fright for the boys to catch

been receiving good service from the

few days.
Monday rural carriers We're forced
to make detours because of bad roads,
but when it was impossible to get

On account of the swollen river the
carrier or Route d had to retrace
from the Whitewater crossing on the

of his route past this point. Carrier

DRUGS EXCITE YOUR
KIDNEYS, USE SALTS
If your Back is aching or Bladder
bothers, drink lots Of water
and eat less meat.

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with a
lot Of drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
your bowels clean, by flushing them
with a mild, harmless salts which re-
moves the body's urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal &C
tivity. The function of the kidneys is
to filter the blood. In "a hours they
strain from it 500 grains of acid and
waste, so we can readily understand
the vital importance Of keeping the
kidneys active.
Drink lots of water-you can't drink
too much; also get from any pharm-
acist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take tablespoonful in a glass of wa
ter before breakfast each morning for
a few days and your kidneys will act
fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been
used for generations to clean and
stimulate clogged kidneys; also to
neutralize the acids in urine so it no
longer is a source Of irritation, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep
their kidneys clean and active Try
this, also keep up the water drinking,
and no doubt you will wonder what be-
came of your kidney trouble and back
ache.-Adv.
