A Beautiful Tribute.

This tribute to Miss Evange-
line Booth. Commander of the
Salvation Army in the United
States, comes from former Vice
President Thomas R. Marshall:
Il have sat for eight years in
the seats of the mighty and I
have met perhaps more of the
earth than any American prior
to this age has ever seen: schol-
ars, statesmen, diplomats, pa
triots, orators. warriors, and yet
of all the great ones that the op-
portunities of my office have en-
abIed me to meet. the greatest
man | ever met was not man;
he was a woman, and his name
was Evangeline Booth. | speak
that with no mere lip service,
but as the genuine outpourings
that have sounded above all hu-
man passions of one who has
tried with as clear and deliberate
Judgment to survey the world
and tried to find out what the
world needs. / say to you that
it is my deliberate judgment
that there is not anything to- day
in the world that is comparable
to what the Salvation Army is
doing for humankind. / never
have doubted it since / first met
and listened to Evangeline
Booth. OF all the great orators
in the world she is the greatest.

HOW DO YOU SAY 1T?
By c. N. LURE
Common Errors in English and
How to Avoid Them
WHERE AM ! ATT"

1T is not correct to use the word
Il "at" or the word to- after the word
where" as In the sentences, Where
were you at last Sunday3" and Where
were you going tor Say, instead,
where were you last Sunday?" and
Where were you going?" This is
one example of many in English in
which the speaker or writer uses too
many words to express his meaning.
The sentence, where am I atT at
tracted much attention about 20 years
ago when it was used by a speaker
in the house Of representatives. The
member was making a long speech,
filed with long sentences. Not much
attention was being paid to him, and
he '1ost his place" while uttering one
OF his long sentences. So he turned
to the speaker and asked: "Mr. Speak
er, where am I at?" The reporters
took advantage of the opportunity to
poke fun at him, and the phrase was
repeated and laughed at all over the
United States.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
thinkers DAM"
tern Newspaper Union-)

ID ELYING solely upon the
N phonetic sound Of this ex-
preston, it appears to be dis
tinctly profane and a number Of
writer's have fallen into the er-
ror of spelling dam" as if it
were the word derived from the
same source as condemn"
To say that person or a
thing is mot worth a tinker'S
dam" is, however, not related
in any manner to profanity, but
gets its meaning from the fact
that a tinker's dam was a wall
of dough or soft clay raised
around a spot which a plumber,
in repairing, desired to flood
with solder. The material of
which this dam was made could
be used only once and was then
thrown away as utterly worth
less. Meanwhile, it had served
the purpose of stopping or dam
ming up the molten metal. The
collOquial smile is, therefore,
derived from this short period
of usefulness and not from any
widespread use of the word
damn" on the part of tinkers or
plumbers. CCopyright.)

l remember we'll what she said
about the different way in which
we treat men and treat horses;
how if a horse falls down on the
icy pavement the street car
stops, one man unloosens the
traces. a second the collar, a
third the throat latch and says,
whoa, Bog" and no one asks
the horse how he happened to
fall down. But in our treatment
of our fellow men. she said,
when he is down before we ever
attempt TO help him up, we in
quire how he came to fall down
and what was in him to make
him fall"
And because the Salvation Ar
my is just as kind to a fallen
man or woman as the rest of the
world is to a fallen horse, Mr..
Marshall believes it is the best
institution of its kind in exist
ence.
The Salvation Army is now or
ganizing Advisory Boards in all
communities throughout the ma
ton, with the intention of bring
ing its service to every home.
Leading citizens who are not d.
rectly connected with the Army
will be named on these Boards,
to see that the Home Service is
successful and lasting benefit
to their communities.

WiIted cucumbers With Sour Cream

Slice the cucumbers after peeling
them and let them stand in sailed wa
ter until wilted. Rinse in fresh wa
ter, ice cold, and dry on a cloth. Sea-
son with salt and pepper and serve
with thick sour cream. There are
many people who consider cucumberS
unwholesome if not soaked in salt wa
ter until all the crispness is removed.
Cucumbers are indigestible for some
people just as the lovely strawberry
distresses some stomachs, but fresh,
crisp cucumber dressed with a good
salad dressing is a most delectable
vegetable for the normal appetite.

MONEY DONATED TO
ESTABLISH LIBRARY

Several unsolicited donations for
the public library which is being
l4lanned by the Winnemucca Civic
Club have been received, the list be-
ing headed by Rev. Edward Hoering,
a comparative stranger in this city,
who was quick to see the need of a
place where citizens might go to read
and obtain books for home study and
amusement. When first he heard of
the movement Rev. Hoering sub
scribed $5 to the fund. Another citi-
zen noting his action as quickly Of
fered to match the act, and several
other smaller donations have been
received from various sources, all un-
solicited.
Rev. Hoering, when questioned by
a reporter for this paper as to his
views on the work of the club, heart
lily endorsed the same and offered his
services in any way they might be
needed. having had great deal Of ex-
perience in this line.
He gave some very interesting re-
ports of civic club which had been
organized in his former city of resi-
dence at San Luis Obispo, California,
which has population of 1000. The
club risked its own money in remod-
cling an old barn of an opera house,
building large auditorium with civic
club rooms on each side, even fixing
up few sleeping rooms In the rear
which were rented as hotel rooms.
This building is now the principal
building of that city and citizens point
to it with pride. 1t contains a county
library and stage where plays are
given, many brought in from the out
Z side.
The San Luis Obispo club worked
at a great disadvantage in getting or
ganized, being bucked by the city
council and many of the citizens
themselves, especially the rougher
element.
Rev. Hoering expressed his hope
that some day Winnemucca would
have similar building and agreed
that all that was needed was lot of
pep and enthusiasm. with citizens and
members working together.
That Rev. Hoering is valuable as
set to this community is evidenced by
his enthusiasm in any new organiza-
ton with the purpose of making a
better Winnemucca. He was the first
to sign his name as an applicant for
membership in Citizens Auxiliary
American Legion post.
