Il had become so Respondent over

fore 1 had finished my first bottle
there was an astonishing Improvement

anything l want and as much of it as

of His Assistant.

Tribute to the loyal service of the
late Harry w. Doyle has been paid by
y. C. Mohler, secretary of the state
board of agriculture. Doyle was Moh-
ler's assistant. He died Friday.
Mr.. Doyle was a thoro investiga-
tor and student, and an indefatigable
worker" Mr.. Mohler said. 1.-The way
he developed since he entered the Of
flee as clerk in 1910 was marvellous.
He had to do much writing and in
order to improve himself, he took 3.
correspondence course in writing.
He was the happiest when he
landed his first article with the Coun-
try Gentleman. 1t was not long ago
that this publication offered him a
place ON its staff and wanted him to
come to Philadelphia to live. But Mr..
Doyle had four children, and he did
MT like the idea of going to a large
city with them Mr.. Doyle's salary was
raised from $1,000 annually to $4,000
in 1917, and at the last legislature it
was raised to $4,000. He received
only one months salary at this rate.
Things were just opening up for him.

only $1O0 a month took as much in

Wichita Faced With Problem: Too

Wichita, Kan. Aug. $50 large are

ability of the state grain inspection
department to inspect it as fast as it

without inspection for several days.
The situation has been reported to

There is no complaint against the
