CORN HUSKERS COMPETE FOR NATIONAL TITLE Nine States Represented in Contest; 50,000 to Watch Battle. By United Press GALVA, 111., Nov. 10.—The ninth national corn-husking contest, greatest autumn athletic carnival of th* farm belt, opened here today. From nine of the prairie states have come the fastest, strongest farmers to compete for the classic harvest time championsh'p in corn gathering. Eighteen of them, the winners and second best in their respective State contests, will race through the field for eighty minutes stripping great yellow ears of corn from the stalks to determine which can gather the largest harvest in the allotted time. A choice field of sixty-five acres of corn running ninety-five bushels to the acre was picked for the premier event of mid-America's farmland. 50,000 to See Race Nearly fifty thousand spectators from all over the prairie country are expected. Elaborate arrangements have been made to care for them. More than 400 farmer-chosen police and officials will regulate the crowds. More than 200 acres of land have been cleared for parking automobiles. The states which have entered contestants are: lowa, Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Minnesota, South Dakota, Ohio and Indiana. Their total area is 568,000 square miles. The population reprsented, largely farmers, is about 30,000,000. Power Is Needed The scene of the contest is a prairie planted with long rows of corn three feet apart. Each contestant has a section of rows through which he will race. Ahead is a team-drawn wagon into which he will toss the golden ears as he snatches them from the Stalks. The contestant takes tw r o rows at a time. The ears must be torn from their covering husk as well as from the stalk. The long contest requires great stamina, speed and dexterity.

Pimples for Years. Healed by Cuticura in Four Months. “I was troubled with pimples on my face for about four years. They J first started on my forehead and then my cheeks became affected. The - pimples were in blotches and festered and scaled over. They itched and burned and whon I scratched them they spread all the more. They made my face look horrid. “I tried everything but nothing helped me. I had about given-up when ~ a friend advised me to try Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I sent for a free i sample of each and got results. I purchased more and was completely healed in about four months.” (Signed) Mrs. Leland Kotas, 204 So.
