After Wilson had gone to herd his flocks the food administration reduced re-duced the sugar allowance. Information Informa-tion of the reduction reached Wilson ou his remote range and he returned five pounds of his supply although he was not required to do so. Wilson wrote to the food administration: "I feel it is as much of a crime as stealing the other fellow's supply when the grub is running low to use more sugar than the law allows. I am sending send-ing back five pounds of the fifteen I got last July. Send U to the boys in France."
