CATTLE BRING
 G00D PRICES

The highest prices ever paid for grade cattle in the Salt River valley was obtained yesterday at the auction sale at the Goodrich ranch three miles south of the Yaqui village which was conducted by B. W. Getsinger for the owners, Roy Goodrich and Tom Owens, according to MT Getsinger
 Forty-one high grade -;olstein cows were sold. more than twenty of which brought above $50 each. The highest price paid was $176. The success of the sale of yesterday proves conslusively that good cattle will bring high prices at any time, providing the stock is high class. Horses also brought good prices, as did the mules sold The sale was a huge success satisfactory alike to the owners and the auctioneer.

game she won, and since then has had
no trouble at all. Lack OF competi-

pardonably got the idea into her head
that she was some swimmer. But she
overlooked the fact that person
should always advance, and keep on
advancing. For two years she has
stood still. She did not seem to rea-
