or approximately sl6.60O in American
gold. Other prize winners brought
lower prices than in previous years.

the crisis i9 the live stock industry

The stock show was a magnificent
exhibition of horses. cattle and sheep.
More than LOO registered bulls and
300 cows were entered in the COM
petitions The presence of isolated
cases of hoof and mouth disease in
the country caused many stock raisers
to refrain from entering animals. And
despite the precautions taken by Of

ance at the show. with the result that
approximately fifty bulls and cattle,

421 LICENSES REVOKED.
Record Breaking Number of
Drunken Drivers in Massachusetts,.

BOSTON, September 6.-The revoca-
ton of 421 automobile licenses for
driving under the influence of liquor
during August was announced today
by State Registrar of Motor Vehicles
Goodwin. He said that this number
was by far the largest number Of
revocations for that cause in the
states history and more than ten
times as many as in the correspond
ing month in 1919, when the Volstead
act first went into effect. He also re-
ported that sixty-fve persons were
killed by automobiles during the
month of August, an increase of
eighteen over August, 1922.
1.-THE tremendous increase in drunken
operators prompts the question:
when is prohibition going to be-
gin?" Mr. Goodwin said.
"One feature of the record of deaths
for August Is that the whole increase
happened in the night time. This is
a result of q combination of failure to
obey the headlight law and drunken
night riding from beaches and camps"
