reduction has taken place in any county
it seems to be due to replacement of
horsepower by motorpower
While the number and value of horses
have declined there has been slight
increase in the number of mules in this
country compared with a year ago.
Most of these animals are in the
Southern states, and the prosperity of
that region is reflected in the increased
demand and high prices paid for mules.
The average value per head is $I47I0,
all ages included, compared with
1883 year ago and $4,000 ten years
ago. The total number of mules on
farms and ranches the first of this
year was 4,995,00O, an increase of H.
600 head, or 0.S per cent.

PROMINENT MEXICAN
GETS POSITION IN
NATIONAL COLLEGE

Word reached this city today Of the
appointment of Jose Vasconcelos to
the position as rector of the National
University at Mexico City. Vascon-
celos is one of the most influential
men in the Mexican government, hav-
ing been Secretary Of State under the
1uc Of President E. Gutierrez, in 1914,
following the overthrow of W Huerta,
ard the miserable government carried
Gil by him.
Vasconcelos has spent three years in
California. acting as advisor for a
number of large American corpora
tions with interests south OF the inter-
national line.
He is an attorney of much note in
Mexico and is considered an authority
on international afafirs.
His writings on PHILOSOPHY have at
tracted students from all over the
world and have received attention Of
Americas greatest scholars.
When Huerta and Villa We're the
dreaded rulers of MA.can affairs. it
was the teachings of Nasconcelos that
was instrumental in having them over
thrown, and which ultimately resulted
IN the excluding of Huerta from Mex

FULLER BROS. To
SELL ALL LAND

The subdividing of $500 acres of
land, belonging to the Fuller Broth
ers, into tracts of 80 acres each, will
mean big increase in the population
of Imperial Valley in few years, ac-
cording to theory advanced by
number of prominent realty men to-
day.
1t is only the first step towards a
general reduction of the size of the
valley ranches, it was said, and the
ultimate result will be the breaking
up of a large percent of the big
ranches.
The general opirurn is that the land
does not yield it's greatest value
when concentrated into the hands of
a few men. The idea is that every
man who wishes to till the land will
have at his disposal only so much
ground as he will be able to care To-
properly.
Revolutionizing of farming will
not be brought about by the enact
ment of laws, but by popular opin-
or in this direction. it was said.
odges Realty Company is hand
ling the sale of the Fuller Brothers
Ranches and is responsible for the
new method Of farming to be intro
duced in the valley.

At CONFERENCE
Probabilities Are That Rev. f..
A. Palmer VIII Not Return
to Ell CentrO; ReU. @. p.
Roger Expected to Stay at
C0LericO.

The annual conference of the South
ern California Methodist conferences
will be held in Long Beach next week
and all Methodist preachers in the
Valley will receive assignments to
charges for the coming year.
Although these are not announced
until the conference a fairly accurate
forecast of what is to take place can
be made.
Rev. E. A. Palmer of the Ell Centro
Methodist church will not return to
this city. Although his congregation
would have been more than glad to
have welcomed him back, illness of
Mrs. Palmer, who has been at Ban
ming for the past year, makes it adj
visable for Rev. Palmer to be nearer
her. He has proven one of the most
popular and efficient preachers it has
been the fortune of the local church
to have had.
In CaleXico, in all probability Rev.
@. P. Roger will be returned. CaleXi-
co is planning a new $4,000 structure
and the pastorate desires Raw. Rogers
return.
In Imperial, it is doubtful of Rev. V.
Hunter Brink returns. Rev. Brink
health has not been of the best this
year and he desires to locate nearer
Los Angeles and expert medical help
Rev. O. w. Reinius will be returned
to Brawley, it is believed as will Rev
La Fontaine at Holtville. Both OF
these pastors have been ON their pre-.
sent charges but one year and should
be able to accomplish much during
the coming year.
