Mrs. Ramsey has lived a quiet,

Mrs. Ramsey had two sisters and
five brothers living, only one of whom

Topeka Third Largest Flour
Center in the State.

The Kansas mills turned out the

Ter, secretary of the state board OF

of the estimated flour output OF KAN
sas in the crop year of 1915 The mills
produced 12,213,447 barrels of flour
from the wheat grown in the state in
1915. The miI1ers have d1fferent
way of figuring years than otner
folks They figure by crop years, a
year being the time when they first
begin to grind the wheat to the time
the old wheat is exhausted and the
new crop comes in
The 1914 wheat crop was the largest
the state ever grew and II was also
the largest flour year, the mills turn
ing out nearly a quarter OF a million
barrels of flour more in the year end

in the year following.
Big Milling Cenoers-
Only a small part of the Kansas
wheat is really turned into flour in
the state. The mills of the state could
not use all the wheat grown and the
mills of many other states are almost
entirely dependent upon Kansas wheat
to keep running thruout the year. The

Some say Ford taught Couzons the

that it was Couzons who taught II

His SIS, 600 salary and $4,000 additional

That Couzons' system has worked IN

another dictum- Thirty of such places

CouZons listened to thousands of

can't sacrifice the safety and conven-

The National Wine and Spirits Trade

the sacred union of the country before

the measure would suppress one of

any hope.
"I am restored in force and corr-
age and my patriotism returned by
you, by America, one of your sons

last drop of my blood for the honor
of humanity.
It beg those who have written to
me to believe my eternal gratitude
