of the government. have been engaged.
Seeds have been gathered and the sys-
tenn Of marking seed trees To be left
standing has been adopted. During
the winter the experts i'm charge will
map out definite pans To be followed
in the spring.

UNCLE SAM.

Sam is believed to have originated in
the following manner: During the Rev
dictionary war man named Samuel
Wilson was a beef inspector at Troy,
n. Y, and was very popular with the
men in his employ, who always called
him Uncle Sam After the inspection
of the beef it was shipped by him to
contractor named Ebert Anderson
and was always marked e. A. q. S.
A joking workman, being asked what
those letters were the authorizations
of, replied that he did not know unless
they were for Ebert Anderson and
Uncle Sam The joke was kept up
and spread until it became common to
refer to all packages marked u. s. as
belonging to Uncle Sam
Fugitive Facts appears to be In
error as to the war in question being
the Revolutionary war. Evidently it
was the war Of 1912. There is resid
ing at the present time in the borough
of Brooklyn. New York city, lady

born in New Hampshire about the
year 1877, travelled by foot across the
