DIDN'T WANT WHEAT AT
THIRTY CENTS A BUSHEL
Hauled 1t to Garden City and Buyers
Refused to Buy.

Ernest Liniger of near Moscow was
in Liberal the first of the week and
made visit to this office. The con-
versation drifted to old times, and as
Mr.. Liniger is one of the first set
tiers in this section he told many in
teresting stories of early day life.
One of the incidents mentioned
was about the difficulties of market
ing grain when he first came, He
told of taking several loads Of wheat
and a load of barley to Garden City,
the nearest market at that time. Ar
irving in Garden he found the buyers
were not in the buying mood. They
didn't want his wheat. The market
was 80 cents a bushel, but the grain
men had all they wanted. However
they did want the load of barley and
made his an offer of IS cents bushel
for it. Mr.. Liniger was sore. After
raising the wheat and hauling it such
a distance and then to not be able 10
sell it at all was a trifle too much
for his good nature to stand, so he
told the buyer he could take it all or
leave it. If he would buy the wheat
he could have the barley, but if not
he would dump the whole outfit in the
river. The bluff worked and he sold
his grain.
This is quite a contrast with con-
ditions today and shows what the fell
lows who made this country had to
90 thru. Those who came when Mr..
Liniger did deserve all they have ac-
cumulated.
