I Makes Comparison.
! July transfers of Herefords this
year compared favorably with July
0f the boom years OF 1918, 1913
and 1920, according to Mr.. Kinzer,
and the volume for the last month
runs only about 1000 less than the
record year of 1918. This is re-
&arded by cattlemen as most favor
able.
THE up-swinging cattle markets
at the stockyards are also cause
for confidence among breeders and
feeders" added Mr.. Kinzer. Dur
ing the last three months the mar
ket for killing cattle has shown a
pronounced trend upward, reaching
the extreme top of the year at
$10.S5 per hundredweight in Chi
cago during the last week of July.
This is most suspicious when COM
pared with the eight and nine dol
lar prices which prevailed during
the early months of the year.
( Demand for purebreds has in
creased to the point where it is diff
fcuit to supply enough suitable
bulls and breeding COWS for cur
rent requirements. Prices of pure
breds are Just starting on their up
ward trend after the recent defia-
ton, which means that now is the
time for farmers and new breeders
to enter the purebred business"

spirit regarding the general pacifica-
ton Of Mexico could be sensed in gov

All suspicion that the capture OF
M,1rguia while he lay asleep in a

Catholic church at Tehehauntes Tues
day night was a case OF mistaken
identity was secuted here. Dispatches
describing the execution which fol
lowed a hurried court martial. said
the body had been exhibited at Tepe-
hauntes and had been recognized as
that of the rebel leader by many per
sons, including several North American
miners who were well acquainted witt
Murguia.
The hastiness of the court martha
| which decided the fate of the rebe
leader shortly after his arrest was
| explained by the fact that it was
known that Murguia was seeking iega
restraints to prevent an immediate
trial.
In Mexico City the execution o

in its campaign to snuff out rebel
