Word ‘Uncle* From Latin ‘Uncus,’ M eaning a Hook When we speak of paying a visit to “uncle” we mean we are going to visit the local pawnbroker and “pop” something to raise money. No doubt the pawnbroker has come to be looked upon as an accommo dating “ uncle” who lends us cash when we are in a tight spot. But that is not how the word “uncle” originated in connection with the lo cal money-lender. It had a different beginning, notes a correspondent in Pearson’s London Weekly. “Uncle” was not used here in any benevolent sense. It comes from the Latin word “uncus” meaning a hook. When articles were deposited with the pawnbroker long ago, a hook was employed to lift them. Many of the pawnbroker’s regular cus tomers were students, and they gradually brought the word “ uncus” into common speech as a reference to the pawnshop. This degenerated into the modern “uncle.” Incidentally, when lifts were insti tuted and the hook discontinued, we altered the phrase to "up the spout,” spout being the slang term for a lift. And in case you don’t know, the CALENDAR two brass balls over the single one in the pawn-broker’s emblem are (From the Bulldog) supposed to represent the odds February 21— Umatilla vs. Heppner against regaining your p ro p erty - in local gym. two to one against.

WE AGAIN HAVE SOME OF THOSE $15.00 p e r thousand 2 x 4 Swords Treasured by Japanese Good swords are one of the most honored of traditions in Japan. When a blade is to be cast, many ceremonies must be performed. A maker of good weapons not only wins financial reward, but is re membered and honored for genera tions, as Europeans venerate An ton Stradivarius for his violins. Once, says a writer in the Wash ington Post, the Japanese sword was the weapon of the knights. Serfs and peasants were forbidden to own one. It was part of the code of the knights they allow themselves to be killed rather than draw swords against persons unworthy of the hon or. When a Japanese nobleman felt that his code of ethics demand ed he commit suicide to “save his face,” he chose death by his own sword as the most honorable means of killing himself. A proficient Jap anese swordsman could cut a man’s head off in the same motion as he used in drawing his sword from its sheath. Value of Leaf Mould The chief value of leaf mould is in adding humus to the soil. For example, a sandy soil has not the capacity to retain soil moisture on account of its coarse open text, re. The addition of humus changes he texture completely, making it ab sorb a larger amount of rainfall and during dry weather to draw larger supplies from the subsoil. Its addition to clay soils loosens all such, making them more easily worked and prevents baking and cracking during hot dry weather. Its value as a fertilizer is chiefly nitro gen, it lacks phosphorus and potash (the latter chiefly). SOPHOMORES GIVE NOVEL P A R TY SADIE HAWKINS MOTIF SUCCESSFUL (From the Bulldog) Approximately 200 Jitterbugs "swung it" to the sweet music of Hamm, Walpole and Kirchner in the high school gym, Friday night. The occasion was the sophomore class’s Sadie Hawkins party, tor which the gym was elaborately and appropria tely decorated. The walls were adorned with figures, crepe paper and bright streamers flowed from the lights. In true Sadie Hawkins fashion— a motif originating in the famous Li'l Abner comic strip—the girls were responsible for dates and ex penses. During the evening games as well as dancing were enjoyed. Ping Pong, shuffle-board and Chinese checkers attracted many of the Sadies and Abners. A success financially, the party was classed by those present as one of the most delightful events of the year. It was the first Sadie Hawkins party given in Hermiston and one of the first really different affairs in the high school. Barbara Moore acted as Mistress of Ceremonies. The program consist ed of a Grand March followed by a tag dance, ladies’ choice and ladies’ tags. Following the dancing, refresh ments of punch and cookies were served in the home economics room. outline T orspring MUSICAL DEFINITE (From The Bulldog) The spring music program, which is under the direction of Miss Gwen dolyn Ross, has been definitely set for April 7.

Trials on one hand because of pro viding pleasing and interesting fast- day dishes is a tax on anyone’s In genuity; but triumphs, too, since the very limitations of such menus have been responsible for producing some of our most inspired dishes, usable long after Lent is past. If Lent Is governing your menu making, then you will be looking for dishes that will satisfactorily take the place of meat in your menus. As meat Is a high protein food, other protein foods will have to be used in its place. Fortunately these foods are numerous. Milk and cheese have become famlliary mainstays o the Lenten season and used with egg and fish of all kinds they offer end less possibilities for meatless dishes. In fact, there is no day's menu that cannot be made to take on new In terest and value by the addition of cheese. In the recipes given here, flavor and food value are combined to make wholesome, well-balanced main dish es especially suited for Lenten meals. Cheese Sandwich Casserole. 14 lb.

They were massively built, with short legs and very flat fore heads. Mastodons vanished into his tory only yesterday, geologically speaking.
