passenger agent for the Southern Pa
eific, reported yesterday that in the
past two days the railroad has loaded
so cars of cattle in this district, all of

that the cattlemen are selling their
surplus at this season both because of
the high prices being paid and so as
to have little extra money on hand
for the holiday season.
Thirty cars were loaded at Naco' on
Wednesday; IA at Hereford; 25 between
Douglas and Nacozari, and 1S in the
yards at Douglas. The S. p official

latest products OF his brush at the
Corcoran Art Gallery, where. it will
he remembered, his former paintings
of Provincetown were on exhibition.
MIR. Mahony has been engaged
during the Summer in developing
additional art courses. which will be
included in this years work.
He said considerable time has been
given to the enlargement Of the
sketch course. which consists Of
new method of teaching drawing by
dynamic symmetry, a method known
to the ancient Greek artists. BY this
method of teaching drawing the stu
dent in a short time, without any
previous training. learns to make
creditable drawings
AS thorough knowledge Of draw
ing is essential to the artist, the art
student will appreciate this innova-
ton in drawing instruction.

this age Of colorful decorations, Is
taught by scientific methods orig
mated in this school. Drawing in
black and white is also taught. par
ticularly that which is required for

TRAINING IN SPANISH
AID TO BUSINESS MEN

President Coolidge wants America ms
to study Spanish, his spokesman has
said. He favors an intensive cam
paign among the schools for this pur-
pose. He already Is said to have spok-
en- about it to his son John, who will
include 1t in his course thfs year.
The young American today who
hopes to make success Of his bust
ness career can help serve his pur-
pose by learning TO speak and write
Spanish huently. Language offers a
trade resistance which is almost in
surmountable. Ignorance of the Spa n
ish tongue prevents that understan-
ing of Latin American life. manners
and business customs which In so
essential to the establishment of
friendly relations.
Spanish is the native tongue of IS
other countries OF this hemisphere,
with n population Of over 10000, 900.
The impOrta nee of Spa nish In the for
eign service of the United states is
shown by the fact that one-third of
the diplomatic posts and one.fourth
of the cOnsulates are in Spanish
speaking countries.
Americans now are travelling to
Spain in much greater numbers than
ever before. In 1925 there were some
40 900 American visitors to Spain; in
this year already more than $4,000
The wonderful literature. art and
architecture OF Spain has been de-
scribed by many famous writer's, and
the productions of Spanish American
culture. while not vet as we'll known,
are worthy of the most careful study.
These and many others are the rea
sons why the Spanish School Of
Washington offers TO every one the
most splendid opportunity. because 1t
teaches the main requirement, the
language spoken by $4,000. 900 sub
iects Of King Alfonso and $4,000 900
South ard Central American sub
jects.
The school uses the conversational
method, and the student is enabled to
receive either private lessons or class
work. Professors from Spain will be
in charge Of classes which will be
given during the day as well as in
