G. F. STREMEL.

The Minneapolis Chronicle pays the
following tribute to the late c. F..
Stremel. Mr. Stremel will be remem-
bered by the older residents Of Cres-
co having been prominent in the BUST
ness life of this city for a number of
years:
1.-THE death of c. F., Stremel has
come to us 50 suddenly that we can
hardly realize that one of our most
prominent and beloved citizens has
passed away and the whole communi-
ty mourns. Without the usual warn
ing that a few weeks or months Of
sickness gives to ones friends and
to certain extent prepares them for
the worst, Mr.. Stremel left his office
and went to his home and in four
days passed out of this life into that
great unknown.
ITO say that this community has lost
one of it's principal and best citizens;
does not do justice in this instance.
Mr.. Stremel in his early youth came
to Minneapolis from Wisconsin with
his parents and with the exception of
a few years in Wisconsin and Iowa
his whole life has been spent in this
city. AS business man he belonged
in that class of men who arc called
captains of industry. His business
connections have always been sue
cessful and of the very best.
"The head of the firm of Stremel
Bros, hardware dealers and manu-
facturers of fireproof doors and win
dows, roof and cornice makers, the
business has prospered and grown to
large proportions. Then again he was
elected president Of the North Side
State bank, all of which goes to show
that his wonderful foresight in bust
ness matters was universally rec
ognized and his advice sought by
many who were not so fortunate.
"Mr StremeIs death is not only a
loss and deplorable calamity to his
own immediate family, but it is loss
to the whole community and his host
of personal friends who loved him for
his real strength of character, his I'M
ostentatious and democratic way Of
doing big as we'll as little things.
I'VE very much doubt if Frank
Stremel had an enemy in the world,
but sure we are that those who knew
him best loved him the most.
"He is survived by his wife, his
mother, Emily Stremel, three brothers,
Arthur, Walter and Richard and two
sisters, Mrs. A. Helm and Mrs. j.
Hanschild. all of Minneapolis.

SHORTAGE IN GERMAN CROP
Wheat Alone Shows Shortage Of Forty
Per Cent.

London, Oct. 1.-the Press Asso-
citation publishes an economic review
of the condition of the Central pow
ers, in which it says that a special
investigation ordered by the German
chancellor of the 1917 harvest shows
that the yield will be 40 per scent
lower than in normal years for wheat
and Is per cent lower for rye, oats and
barley. The total harvest of wheat
and rye amounts to 100000 tons,
compared to 100000 tons in 1918.
The shortage will be partly compen-
stated from the Roumanian granaries.
The reviewer considers the situa-
ton during the coming winter will de-
Lend mainly on the results of the
potato harvest.
Should frost, lack Of labor or other
reasons cause shortage in potatoes,
It will spell disaster.
The situation in Austria Hungary,
it Is declared, IL worse than in Ger
many.
