be forthcoming. Every farmer in the
State should buy at least We shares of
the stock of his local organization. The
eyes of the whole business country
are turned to the farmers of Maine,
wondering what he will do. Some say
the farmers are not business men and
will not maintain the organization

A boy can hardly learn too early

OUR UNCLE SAM.
His Nicknamea!t Is Claimed, Orig
mated In Troy, NJ. Y.

His Nicknamea.t Is Claimed, Orisi-
mated In Troy, N. Y.
Troy, N. Y, is said to be the place
where the name Uncle Sam" origi-
mated, says the New York Sun. After
the last declaration of war with Eng
land by the colonies a New York con-
tractor, Gilbert Anderson, visited Troy
and made it his headquarters for the
purchase of provisions for the Cont
mental army. The supplies We're duly
inspected before shipment. One of the
inspectors was Samuel Wilson, brother
of Ebenezer, also an inspector and
known as Uncle Sam to the work
whom he superintendent.
The casks in which the beef and pork
were packed were marked with the in
itials of Ebert Anderson, the con-
tractor, and the United States, thus
"E. A.-U. S." The first pair Of in
itials We're of course familiar to the
men, but the "U. S." stumped them.
The fact was that the name United
States was then SO new to these coun-
trymen that its initials were a COM
plete puzzle. They turned to the near
est explanation, humorous one and
intended as a joke on their boss. If
"E. A" stood for Ebert Anderson.
then, they opined, ~. So must stand
for Uncle Sam Wilson. The joke
spread to the continental army, which
carried it to every part Of the country.

that was showered upon a bride had
similar meaning. For many centuries
after the Romans left the custom was
to break the biscuit over the brides
head. and then the fragments were

ration Charles III. returned with q
