Thornman Tell His Experience. The following brief account of an interview with a Blue Rapids man five years ago, and its sequel, will be read with keen interest by every citizen. Hugh Thorman, retired farmer, Genesee gave the following account of his experience. He said: "My kidneys were weak and caused me a great deal of annoyance at night. My back was lame, too.

After using Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at Coulter's Pharmacy, a short time, I was relieved." FIVE YEARS LATER Mr. Thorman said: using Doan's Kidney Pills, I have had no more than slight, passing troubles with my back and kidneys. At such times a few doses of Doan's have been sufficient to dispose of them. 60c, at all dealers. FosterMilburn Buffalo, N.

The funds available from appropriations and otherwise, for continuing this work, make this change or similiar expedient not only advisable, but imperative.

The difference in the item rentals is enough to sidestep the danger of an otherwise unavoidable deficit. The reduction operating expense, it is expected, will permit the purposes of the Bureau to be developed effectively without undue financial distress, and also retain for Marshall county recognition as one among those counties of this and states now federated for agricultural aggression and defense. But this work will not be continued past the point where the Bureau can arrange to pay its bills. When Mr. Barnum resigned in June, a successor was not available.

The right of selection and appointment of county Farm Agent is reserved to the college at Manhattan, and the agent's work is under their direct supervision. It was not until Nov. 10 that Mr. O. T.

Bonnett of Winfield, Kansas, took charge of the work here. As rapidly as ability, energy and determination can overcome the handicap of the rather discouraging conditions that failure to function has fostered in the county organization, the fact that the right man is on the job will become apparent. Any inquiries by mail or phone to the Farm Bureau Agent, Blue Rapids, will have prompt attention. Mr. Bonnett will appreciate any responsive effort the farmers of the county in effort to get acquainted as rapidly as possible.
