UNCLE SAM.


The Way Our Nickname Is Said to
Have Originated.
This familiar nickname for the Unit
ed States is said TO have come about in
the following manner:
During the war Of 1912 the United
States government entered into con
tract with Ebert Anderson to furnish
supplies to the army Whenever the
United States buys anything from a
contractor 1t appoints an inspector to
see that the goods are UP to the speci
fications. In this case the government
appointed a man BY the name Of Sam
uel Wilson. lie was a jolly, whole
souled man and was Familiarity known
as Uncle Sam.
It was his duty 10 inspect every box
and cask that came from Ebert An
flerson, the contractor, and IL the con-
tents were all right the cargo was
marked with the letters cd. Al S., !"
the initials of the contractor and of
the United States
The man whose duty it was TO do
this marking was something Of a joker,
and when somebody asked him one
day what these letters stood for he
said that they meant Ebert Anderson
and Uncle Sam.
Everybody. including Uncle Sam
himself, thought this very good Joke,
and by and by it got into print and
before the end Of the war it was
known all over the country, and that
is how the United States received the
name Of Uncle sam-Des Moines Reg
lister and Leader.
