Fist Show * Chicago, Dec. 8:--A grain exhi- bition is Jike a jack-in-the-box-- yoo never know what will come out of. it, says Herman Trelle, uncrown- od king of Canada's rolling grain elds. i is several hundred miles south of the modest young grain grower"s home in the Peace River district, but he caught here some- thing that he has always manag- ed to duck in the below-zero fast- nesses of the north, That some- 'thing was an attack of influenza. He was just getting over it when he was seen in his hotel room by The Mail 'and Empire representa- tive. * ; But it would take more than in- fluenza to keeep Trelle out of the Windy City, At least, it will as long as they keep on making him world's grand champion of the grain exhibition at the Stock Show. y A toss Up "One year the judges stand for one ideal of perfection in grain and the next year it is altogether differ- ent," he sald, "In 1927, we show- ed Reward wheat and the judges favo! Marquis, This year we showed Marquis wheat and the judges were more inclined to Re- ward, So there you are--heads you win, tails I lose, "Had we shown the same sam- ple of Reward wheat I've display- ed at Toronto, we would have cop: ped the grand championship. How- ever, we should be satisfied with the reserve," Stands High Mr, Trelle termed the Chicago Show this year "a landslide for Canada in the classes that Canada is vitally interested in, especially red spring wheat and oats." The Alberta exhibit, having Mr, Trelle's entries to start with, out- stripped the other Canadian prov- inces in the show. Alberta won 32 prizes with 57 entries. Mr. Trelle was returned for the third successive year as the highest ag- gregate major prize winner in the show, He took a world's cham- pionship with his peas, a reserve world's. championship with his Mar- guis wheat, two first prizes and a second. And to win all these hon- ors, he showed only three entries, Seven World Titles His two championships this year bring his total up to seven world's titles, By winning the pea cham- pionship, he now holds the distinc- tion of being the only grower with three different sorts of world's championships to his credit-- wheat. oats and peas. " "The Royal Fair at Toronto got 8 good boost from the Chicago Try a Meal at the \ * CAFE Service Without Extra Cost--Good Wholesome Food and Cleanliness 'Our First Care! Show," Mr, Trelle said, "because this is the first year that grain championships in Toronto were among the top-notchers at Chica- go. In 1926, the first prize at Tor- onto was 26th at Chicago. In 1927, the first at the Royal was 16th at Chicago, This year the 1st at the Toronto Royal was first at Chicago."

An insurance company which issued a policy on Pliscon's life, refused to pay the insurance with- out further proof of death, al- though it appeared that Pliscon had stepped from his car in the darkness without knowing he was 80 near the river and been drown- ed, The company employed a diver at $25 an hour to explore the bed of the river in an effort to locate the body. Memory Gone Pliscon - today declared he re- members nothing of what happened by the river side. He recalls only that he was wet and in some man- ner got out of the water, He was picked up, he said, by a man named Sam Wazxler, of Little Rock, Ont, near Toronto, on Rural Route No. 27, Waxler, he said, took him home, Of what happened in Wax- ler's home, he said he remembers only that he was treated by a Dr. MacDonald, of Toronto.
