| PAGE SIX VETERAN XHAS BOX DESCRIBED Mrs. Morris Urges Gifts Be Sent to Disabled North Da- kota Soldiers That all Christmas boxes being went to North Dakota war veterans in various hospitals in the United States be addressed to the men for whom they are intended “or some other North Dakota men” is being urged by Mrs. James Morris, Bis- marck, rehabilitation chairman of the American Legion Auxiliary. Mrs. Morris, together with vari- ous units of the organization throughout the state, is arranging gift boxes for North Dakota men in Minnesota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, Wisconsin, and Iowa hos- pitals. In order to make sure that every man from the state receives a per- sonal Christmas gift, the state de- partment, through Mrs. Morris, pre- ares an individual present for each. Mrs. Morris packs the gifts for men in distant hospitals in addition to the boxes sent each year by units to assigned men. A list of ex-servicemen from the state in hospitals will be published after Dec. 10, Mrs. Morris an- nounces. Suitable gifts for the men, accord- ng to Mrs. Morris, are cigars, cig- arettes, slippers, , handker- chiefs, games, stationery and stamps, newspapers, tooth paste, brushes, razor blad shaving cream, books, candies, cakes, and cookies. Mrs. Morris requests that no bathrobes be sent the men at Fort Snelling since there is no prov! for dry cleaning them and hospital author- ities consider the robes unsanitary. Auxiliary members are also pre- paring equipment for the new hos- pital which will be opened at Fargo next spring. Bowman Woman Hurt in Leap from Train Pierre, S.

Y., Dec. 3.—(NEA)— Uncle Sam’s grave, marked up to this time with only a simple slab, is about to have a monument, and the man who gave his name to his country is to be honored at last. The Philip Schuyler Chapter of the Daughters of the American Rev- olution have plans to erect a fitting memorial to replace the inconspicu- ous one which reads: Samuel Wilson Died July 31, 1854, Aged 88 years. Betsey Mann, his wife. Though to the majority, Uncle Sam is a fictitious person, lean and | lanky, with striped pants, starry | coat with flying tails and a high hat, there once was a real, live person who was known personally to thou- sands of his fellow men as Uncle Sam. - i In 1768 in the little village of Mason, N. H., there was born to a} Mr. and Mrs. Wilson a son who was promptly christened Sam. Made Bricks at Troy When he was 21 years old, his father having lost all his property through poor investments during the Revolution and the reconstruction period while our nation was a-born- ing, Sam and his brother, Ebenezer, walked to Troy, N. Y., then a flour- ishing little village on the Hudson at the head of the tidewater. Having learned the art of making brick in their home town, the two boys started a kiln in Troy. Many homes still standing were erected with the product of their hands. In 1812, when the United States and England entered into war once more, Sam established a slaughter house in Troy_and through association with an Elbert Anderson, government contractor, entered into a bargain to furnish meat and other supplies for the soldi quartered a few miles below at inton Heights, near the famous old Fort Cralo. ‘This place is noted as the birthplace of “Yankee Doodle” as a popular song. Beef and pork were packed in barrels and shipped to the camp by boat or ox-train. Each cask was marked on one side with the initials of the contractor, FE. A., and, on the other with those of the consignee, U. S. for United States government, Popular with soldiers The beef was excellent—for army beef—and its producer became very Popular with the soldiers. He was a familiar figure about the camp as he carried on his business of obtain- ing orders from the officers. Soon everyone was calling him “Uncle Sam.” Legend has it that a soldier of Trish extraction, noting the two pairs of initials on the casks, asked their meaning and was told by a wag that the E. A. stood for the con- tractor’s name-and the U. S. for “Uncle Sam.” The name stuck and everything marked with the initials U. S. har- ness, wagons, guns and even the horses, came to be called Uncle Sam’s property. It is said that from this fact came the expression: “Uncle Sam is rich enough to give us all a farm.” How he came to be pictured as a tall, spare, genial old man is un-| known now. In reality he was short | and rather plump. Practical Joker, Too That he was jolly and quite a prac- tical joker is attested by the story that once, when a grand-nephew was carrying a bucket of soup to Sam’s sister. it was set down for a moment Prevent Coughs or Colds—Take ' SCOTT'S ‘EMULSION Rich in Resistance-build- Sam’s Grave Will Be Honored by | something in a name, Build Resistance To| is to be erected a memorial to the see I Citizens and Sam substituted a pail of water | for it, a joke appreciated even by the sister. He died July 31, 1854, and his bones now rest beside those of his wife in a far corner of Oakwood Cemetery, beneath the shade of a huge elm and overlooking a pretty little lake, swan-dotted in the sum- mer. All about him are monuments erected to heroes of war or peace, including General Wood and General | Thompson, “the Rock of Chicka- mauga,” heroes of the Civil War. So now, three-quarters of a cen- tury after his death, the man who gave his country its world-famed appellation is to be honored by a real memorial. For after all, there's} n of the Ontario (Can.)
