Brussels, Dec. liking Leopold
died at 2:35 o'clock in the morning,
his aged and wasted body being I'M
able to stand the strain put upon 1t.
The collapse occurred suddenly and at
a moment when the doctors seemingly
had had the greatest hopes for his re-
covery.
The public at large was satisfied that
the king was on the road to recovery,
but within the pavilion where the king
lay there was a feeling of anxiety,
chiefly because Of Leopard's great age.
After restful day the patient was
able to sleep for a brief period early
in the evening, and the night passed,
quietly. But toward 2 o'clock alarm
ing symptoms appeared.
The two physicians did everything
possible to prolong life but without
avail. The end came quickly and af-
ter a period of weakness, peacefully.

HOLDEN SOUNDS A WARNING

Tells Farmers They Should Look Out
for Seed Corn This Year.
Because of the wet fall and early
frosts which came when the corn was
wet in the field, Professor Holden of
the Iowa state college at Ames, the
man who knows more about corn than
any other in Iowa, is sounding a warn
ing to the farmers of the state to
watch out for bad seed corn the com
ing year. He says the situation is crit
ical and that unless the farmers are
more than careful they stand a chance
of having poor crops next season.
He thinks that it would be better in
many cases if the farmers planted last
years corn next season than take
chances on this years crop.
