or,uln Of "uncle sam"

II you asked the average man on the
stree. the origin OF Uncle Sam as q
favorlte pseudonym for the U. S. A.
he would probably tell you that it was
called that because the initials Of both
were the same. 1t all started way
back In 1872. Samuel Wilson was in
spector of provisions for the United
States army at Troy then. On the
casks appeared ~. S." the abbrevia-
Ion for United States. This abbrevia-
ton at the time was very unfamiliar.
1t Is said that one day one Of the
workman was asked what these letters
stood for. and he In sport said 1t must
mean "Uncle Sam" Wilson. The good
Inspector was teased from that time on
about the increase of his possessions,
as the casks continued to he marked
~. s." When his men entered the
army the joke about Uncle Sam"
Wilson spread with much the same
speed as the word "camoutiage," for
Instance. In the recent war. Soon 1t
was known I'm all the armies in the
field. All the government supplies con-
tinued to be marked Uncle Sam" and
finally Uncle Sam" came to stand for
the United States government.
