GOOD CORN BRINGS SETTLERS TO
STATE

Each succeeding year at the Mime
sofa State Fair visitors have marveled
at the growth Of the corn show. Al
though the corn displays at the fairs
Of few years ago were not very
large, the exhibits Of the last two or

Students Of immigration declare
that the corn shows at the State Fair
have induced thousands Of farmers
from Iowa, Illinois, and other parts OF
the corn belt, to buy farms in Mime
sofa. Two years ago the immigration
department featured the corn display,
and the results were exceptionally
good.
This year, in addition to the regular
corn show, which promises to be larg-
er than last year, boys corn show is
to be held, in which boys who were III
the 1913 acre-yield corn contest may
take part. Liberal prizes are offered
to boys winning places. This show
will be an annual feature.
The Minnesota State Fair authori-
ties have always emphasized the value
Of early selection and type. No seed
corn should be bought unless the buy
er knows that it will mature in an
ordinary season, and is of type suit
able to Minnesota, and it is this KIM.
Of corn that is given the preferences
by judges at the State Fair. The aim
is to present blue ribbon sample to
the farmer that will help him. in fxing
in his mind type that should be folz
lowed when he picks his corn early in
the fall.

5 Brussels, Aug. 19.-Slowly but sure
sly the German attacking columns are
rolling the Belgian-French defenders
back on Brussels.
Despite a rigid censorship tt is
known that skirmishing, which began
at daylight at number of points
along the line, but with most strength
displayed west of south of Huy, stead
lily increased.
The German advance line Of caval-
ry skirmishers is strongly supported
by rapid-frers, mounted on motor
trucks.
All national records have been
transferred from Brussels to Antwerp
and officials of the war Office are en-
phasizing the lack of strategic i'm
portance of Brussels.
The capture of the capital is be-
ieved certain.
It is believed the allies will sacrifice
many men for the sentimental pur-
pose of holding the capital against
the German combined armies, now
known to number not less than 500,-
900 men.
Would Divide Defending Army.
The main German army will sweep
south Of the capital, but it is believed
the north army will be depended up
on to take the capital and divide, II
possible, the Belgian defenders, roll
ing a good part of them, il possible,
back on Antwerp.
The censorship is becoming more
pronounced. All correspondents have
been ordered to Withdraw from the
front and the war Office is no longer
issuing any bulletins Of the fighting.
All Of the governmental heads, the
cabinet and royal family have gone to
Antwerp and the funds in the gov
ernment banks have also been trans
ferred to that city
The sound of heavy. artillery can
be family heard in the city. It is sup
posed the German advance is follow
ing the roads leading from Huy.
Whether Namur has been besieged is
not yet known, hut rumors are In cir
culation to that effect.

NERVOUS CHILDREN

There is much criticism of modern edu- 'cational methods that require too much work of school children, allowing them too little time for play and preventing sufficient out-of-door exercise. , When the study of music or any other accom- plishment, with thenecessary practice, is added, the strain is increased. v ..s>.
 Under these conditions the blood be- comes impoverished and fails to nourish the nerves. The child becomes restless, and twitching of the muscles follows. Sometimes the child stumbles in walking and drops what it tries to hold. Pallor, listlessness, inattention, restlessness, and irritability are symptoms that early show that the blood and nerves are failing to meet the demands made upon them.
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills, safe tonic for children, will build up the blood, strengthen the nerves and help to meet the demands of the growing child. Suf- ficient out-of-door exercise, nourishing fooG and ten hours sleep each day, with these tonic pills, will correct even long standing cases of St. Vitus' dance and will calm the nerves of the mostirritable child.
 All druggists sell Dr. Williams Pink Pills. A booklet "Diseases of the Ner- vous System" will be sent free to any parent on request by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co.,, Schenectady, N. Y.
