Two sacks of wheat that Otto Triton
lost when wheat became mixed with
sacks of other grain cost him $28. He
said:
"Vye told me, That other fellow
back there gave $40 for two bushels,
but Wilson kicked about that. He
said it wasn't enough. Now, what are
; you going to do?' He had already
told me that would have to take it in
that night and report to Wilson in St.
j Paul at 10 o'clock the next morning.
!. It was night then. was going to tell
him I'd go to St. Paul, but my wife was

administration, / showed him tickets
for six loads of wheat had hauled
to comply with the order to sell wheat.
1T had never cashed the tickets, as
/ didn't need the money, and so took
them out of my pocket to show him.
He took one out OF the bunch and said:
There, this will do for your case He
took that ticket and turned it over to
the Red Cross. It cost me $1O0.85.
That was costly experience"

| Got Farmers Out of Bed.
The Food investi; ators called on John
Trebesch at 10 o'clock at night. WYE
worked ca and late and had no
scruples about getting the farmers out
of bed.
| Trebes III said:
II YVES not at home, but they told
| my wife I had to bring in some wheat
I had, or I'd get into trouble. So
| Drought It in and it was turned over to
the Red Cross, $3.50 all together.
My brother, Adcloh Trebesch, had
to come over here from Redwood county,
near Sanborn, to settle with Wye. That's
about thirty miles. He had sold some
wheat before the expiration OF the time
allowed to sell. But somebody told
we he had sold some after the date
set, and it cost him $780,
Mr.. Trebesch said he had subscribed
81 500 for Liberty bonds and had con-
tributed to the Red Cross.
