S. NJ Quaw last week sold a ten
months-old Shorthorn bull calf to A. d.
Grigsby, of Campo, Cal, receiving 1925
for the animal. The express charges
on the beast from here to California
will cost the owner $120 more, so that
he will be a very valuable animal when
he arrives at his destination. The calf
is being tested by DR.. g. A. Mills for
tuberculosis and as soon as the test is
completed he will be shipped. That
Californians should come here to buy
pure bred cattle speaks well of our
Marathon county herds and especially
so of MIR. Quaw's.

among the "profesh." After half an
hours work at the combination he
successfully unlocked the safe.
