LAUNCH PURE BRED
BULL DRIVE HERE

Local farmers and cattle owners will
take prominent part in the state
wide campaign just launched to in
crease the number of pure bred bulls
in service on farms, according to plans
outlined here. Expectations are that
committees of bankers, representative
farmers and business and professional
men will be named soon to direct the
local campaign.
Our county agent will aid in direct
ing the drive. For the success of the
cattle and dairy industry of Wiscon-
sin, it is pointed out, pure bred bulls
must be used to a larger extent than
at present unless owners of herds are
prepared to suffer severe financial
losses. Figures show that where scrub
and grade bulls are used, receipts are
far below those where foresighted
owners use purebreds.
Here are some of the results that
are sought in the present campaign:
better bulls and better calves; better
COWS and steers; more milk and milk
products; more and better beef; bet
ter cattle sales; better farms and farm
homes.

Vastness of Mexico,

It cannot be reiterated too often
that Mexico is vast country.
Mexico extends in length over two
thousand miles, or is as long as from
Iceland to Africa. It measures a thou.
sand miles across the widest area. It
is vast, it contains every climate from
tropical to northern it has huge noun
tains, some of the greatest volcanoes
in the world; and some Of the largest
rivers are to be found in the south,
although water Is lacking in the north.
The north is fiat and hideous, the
south beautiful and mountainous.
Mexico produces every class of ore and
every form of agriculture ard some Of
the most picturesque and beautiful old
Spanish towns in the world remain
from the days when they were built
by COrtez in 1919.
One cannot help being struck with
the contrast between the two coasts.
On the Pacific shore everything is dry !;
on the Gulf (Atlantic) everything is
wet. A depth of eight or ten feet Of
soil is common.-From Mexico" by
Mrs. Alec-Tweedie.

are modelled after definite people. In
the latest Paramount picture starring

Majestic Sunday, he plays the part of
Wing Lung, an elderly and wealthy
Chinaman of the upper classes. With
Mr.. Hayakawa he does some of the
best acting of his cinema career.

is probably none with personality
