HOW UNCLE SAM
GOT HIS NAME

Immediately after the declara-
ton of war with England in 1912
Ebert Anderson, of New York, then
contractor, visited Troy, where
he purchased large quantity of
provisions. The inspectors of the
articles at that place were Ebenezer
and Samuel Wilson. The latter
universally known as "Uncle SAM
generally superintended in person a
large number Of workmen, who on
this occasion were employed in ov-
erhauling the provisions purchased
by the contractor. The casks were
marked "E. A.-U. S." Their in
spection fell to the lot of facetious
fellow who, on being asked the
meaning Of the mark, said he did
not know, unless it meant gilbert
Anderson and Uncle SAM" abiding
to "Uncle Sam" Wilson. The joke
took among the workmen and pass
ed currently, "Uncle Sam" eventual
ly being generally adopted as a
nickname for the United States
Government.

Washington dispatches advise us

"JusT AN ENTHUSIAST

Oht bAttH htuAS thC tApitCoiViA,
when referring to another who has
waxed eloquent on some subject
near to his heart: ooh, he is just
an enthusiast; you must not take
him too seriously
Yes, just an enthusiast, but what
wonderful thing is enthusiasm
Dead men have it not. II is the ex-
elusive possession of LIVE men =
of men of power, of dynamic force.
1t is hard to imagine what this
life would be without enthusiasm.
Perhaps the warden of Sing Sing
prison would have a clearer percep-
ton than most people Of world
devoid of enthusiasm.
The quality we call enthusiasm
has done much for the world. Co
lumbus had it, and he discovered
continent. Fulton had it, and we
have the steam engine. The Wright
Brothers had it, and as a result the
currents of the upper ether are al
most as well known as those of the
deep. Marconi had it, and the
wireless has eliminated the element
of distance on this earth. And what
shall we say of Edison, the greatest
enthusiast of them all7 What
would be our condition today even
without his ;nrcntiense
You call it genius. But who ever
knew d genius VINO was not an en-
thusiast on his hobby7 What is
genius, anyway, without enthusiasm?
A mere Visionary!
Be an enthusiast in your daily
business, in municipal, state and ma
tional affairs. Be an enthusiast in
everything you undertake, in every
thing you advocate. And above
all, be an enthusiast in upholding
the government in its prosecution of
this war, and in the end we will
reap the reward of the successful
Enthusiasm is not a gift. 1t can
be acquired by any normal person.
1t does not take the place of will
power, but is the legitimate child of
The will. Given the desire to sue
,eed, enthusiasm can be cultivated,
and when once acquired its power
S limitiess.
Enthusiasm is not the exclusive
lower of youth. Some of the bright
est minds the world has ever
Known has carried it down to the
Valley of the Shadows.
Neither is it the peculiar heritage |
IF genius, for many of the worlds
greatest benefactors have been
people of mediocre gifts, but OBJ
'cessed with burning enthusiasm
'or accomplishment.
Therein lies its greatest lesson.
All may possess it, and with it's
magic power no life need be fail
Ire.
The strenuous days through which
We are passing call for unbridled en-
husiasm.
Be an enthusiast! Only the dere-
lets and failures will sneer.

The New Postal Rates.

A good many pe'son seem moi 10 be
familiar with the new postage rates which
went into effect last Friday, and letters
are still being posted with only two cents
in stamps upon them. The most I'M
portant change in the regulations is that
on all letters weighing one ounce or I'M
der there must be three cents postage in
stead of two cents. Asthree- cent stamps
are still scarce, a two-cent and o'e-
cent stamp may be used together. Pos
tai cards, the regular kind distributed by
the Postoifice Department, will cost two
cents. An old card may be used il pne-
cent stamp is added.
Postcards OF the so-called picture
variety or otherwise will require 2-cent
stamp affixed.
A local or "drop letter." letter ad-
dressed for delivery from the office at
which it is posted may be sent for 2 cents
per ounce or fraction thereof.
II you do not put the right amount OF
postage on your letters Uncle Sam will
assist you to remember the law. but will
not delay your letters more than is neces-
sary.
II you put your address in the upper
left-hand corner-as you Should-and
have not put sufficient postage on the
letter, it will be returned 10 you Tor pay
ment of the amount still needed.
II your name and address is not on the
letter, if will be forwarded, and the one
TO whom il is addressed will be required
to pay the postage lacking before the
letter is delivered.
Other methods OF raising revenue I'M
der the the new act of Congress include
the following taxes, which are now in eff
effect:
One cent on each dime paid for amuse-
ment admissions.
Three per cent on payments for freight
transportation.
Eight per cent on passenger fares.
Ten per cent on payments for Pullman
and similar accommodations.
One cent for each 20 cents or fraction
paid for express packages.
Five cents on each telegraph, telephone,
or radio message costing Is cent or more
Ten per cent on club dues.
Eight cents on each 500 of new life
insurance.
One cent on each dollar OF premiums
paid on fire, marine, casualty, and other
insurance policies.
The new rates on cigars range from
Is cents to ST thousand, and on cigar
cites from 80 cents TO $l20 thousand.
Five cents pound is the new tax on to-
bacco, snuff, and other manufactured TO-
bacco, while cigarette papers are taxed
from half cent to cent hundred. AS
the taxes are now reaching the ultimate
consumer. the rises mean about | cent
more on scent tobacco packages. from 2
to 5 cents on cigarette packages, and
from to 10 cents on cigars.
