FARMERS PROMISED
EARLY ADJUSTMENT
FIRST PAYMENT TO BE MADE
DURING THE WEEK BY
THE RED CROSS.
REPAYMENT OF THE FINES
IMPOSED BY WYE TO BE
MADE LATER.

Refunds to Minnesota farmers, who
were unlawfully forced to contribute
to the Red Cross by Vidian WYE and
other agents of the Minnesota Food
Administration, were to have begun this
week, says the Minnesota Leader.
The refunds were made possible as
the result of an investigation demanded
by the Nonpartisan league and others.
From $4,000 to 100000 is to be
returned by the northern division of the
Red Cross, Professor A. D. Wilson,
food administrator for Minnesota, said
last Monday. 3D..
Repayment of fines imposed by WYE
and others will be attended to later,
Professor Wilson, said.
Farmers INDICATED.
Action of the Red Cross means vindi-
cation to the League farmers, who were
bounded by agents of the food admins
tration last summer because of their
membership in the League and forced
to market their seed wheat and chicken
feed and pay the Red Cross various
amounts after having been given the
alternative of paying fines of $4,000
or going to the federal penitentiary.
All of the claims of the famers in
Mcleod county have been presented to
Professor Wilson, and about 100 vouch-
ers, signed by the farmers, stating that
thew had made contributions to the
Red Cross unwillingly, had been received
Monday, Professor Wilson said,
To Pay At Once.
These vouchers were to- be turned
over to the nortnerff uivision Of the
Red Cross and payment made on them
at once, the food administrator said.
No further trouble is anticipated in
the adjustment of the claims Of the
Mcleod county farmers. The claims
were collected by committee formed
for the purpose.
Farmers in other counties, who re-
ceived similar treatment at the hands
of the agents of the food administra-
ton, are planning to get together and
, present their claims for refunds to
Professor Wilson.
More Time Needed.
The fines imposed on the farmers by
Vidian wye and his aides for eek
penses" will take more time for as
iustment. Professor Wilson said he
expected to present bills to the federal
government for Legitimate expenses,
such as livery hire. "
"Illegitimate" expenses charged to
the farmers will have to be paid back
by the agents of the food administra-
ton, who collected them by means of
intimidation. -..
In addition to Mcleod, Brown, Nicol-
let and Kandiyohi counties, WYE and his
terrorizers operated in Lac qui Parle
county, according to letter to the
Leader from Frank T. Stolpman of
Bellingham.
Mr. Stolpman says that WYE and his
partners visited about 100 farmers
around Bellingham during the harvest
season last year, forcing them to abandon
their farm work and market as little
as two pounds of wheat
In addition to forcing contributions
to the Red Cross and making the
farmers pay the customary fines, sew
eral farmers were forced to buy war
savings stamps. Mr. Stolpman says

Although the Indians have given
Vancouver over to the Pale Faces,
their legends still enwrap the old
home of the Siwashes. Pauline
Johnstan has gathered many OF
these into a little booklet and
through it we learn that those
rocks known as the Lions of Van
couver, are monuments to Mother
hood so much revered by Indians;
hat the Siwash Rock in the The
Narrows stands for clean father

How Brave Boy Doing His Duty
Encountered Many Perls on the Sea

young Bean was cast, is the east
ernmost of the Visayan group of
the Philippines and is third in
size among the islands of the arch
ipelago. The coast, on the east
side particularly, is cut up into
small inlets and headlands and the
landing of the boat from the Duma-
III seems to have been the work
of Providence, for even skilled
seaman would hesitate to try to
make landing there, for fear of
smashing his craft. Samar was
one of the last of the old strong
holds to yield to American forces
when the island passed under our
control after the war with Spain.
1t was not until 1862 that finally
the last of the old native leaders
surrendered and promised to be
good. Young Bean was lucky in
escaping with his life in the jungle,
for it is a great wilderness and
difficult to traverse.
Theron came back to Portland
the other day and there was a wild
time in the Bean home. His par
ents wondered what effect the
shipwreck would have ON Theron's
ambition. He settled the question

SCRAPS FROM SAMMY STAY-AT-HOME'S
OLD KIT BAG

One day, Pat and Mike were
walking down the street till they
came to q corner, Pat said to Mike,
Lets see who can get the most
jokes" So Pat went one way and
Mike the other.
Pat came to a man and asked
him if he knew any jokes. and the
man said, Yes" So Pat asked
what it was, and the man showed
him.
The man put his hand on pole
at the side of him and told Pat to
hit it real hard. So Pat swung
with all his might. The man took
his hand off the pole real quick,
and Pat hit the pole, "Whoop-la!
Although it hurt, Pat thought he
would try it on Mike, so when they
met again, Mike asked il he had
any jokes, and Pat answered,
"Yes."
Mike asked him what it was, and
so Pat looked around for some
thing to put his hand on. He
found nothing, so he put his hand
over his face, and told Mike to hit
it real hard. So Mike swung with
all his might, and Pat jerked his
hand away, and Mike hit him right
in the face.

On the ISSUE Of
Americanism There Can
BE No Compromise

Don't guess. Know. The budget Is intel
ligent looking forward; your record is an
intelligent looking backward. Each depends
on the other.
a. Have a Bank Account. If you have
put your labor and care into earning money
you don't want to lose it by your folly.
Nothing human is absolutely safe, but the
bank is the safest known place TO put your
money. Patronize the Savings Bank, where
your money will work for you, as you
worked for it. Idle money is as bad as idle
folk
5. Garry Life Insurance. If you live
and love and work for your wife and chill
dren, why should you by your improvidence
multiply their sorrow at your death?
8. Make VIII. A few dollars spent in
hiring a lawyer to draw up sound will is
better than many dollars spent by your
widow hiring lawyers TO straighten up your
affairs.
Z. Own Your Own Home Anchor your
self. Become a known and dependable part
in the community life. The strength of the
nation is In its homes, not in its individuals.
More wholesome satisfaction comes from the
home than from any other source.
3. Pay Your Bills Promptly. 1t is easy
TO neglect your obligations. And the surest
way to be universally despised.
9. Invest in Government Securities. Buy
Liberty Bonds. And don't sell them
10. Share With Others. AS you get on.
help others on. It's by far the happiest
way. Learn the JOY of giving-it takes
practice.
