CATTLE FAT; MARKET
& SHOWS SOME DECLINE

The fat cattle market showed some
decline during the month. Beef steers
from the Salt River valley are selling
at seven to seven and one-haf cents
a pound. Indications are that they
viii remain at that level, with some
possibility of a slight increase.
Excellent range conditions over the
whole state will probably result in an
abundant supply of fat cows and
heifers for the next few months, in
dicating that there may be some de-
cline in prices for this class of cat
tie. Early contracts for feeder cattle
are now being filled, and some diff
Guilty is being had in delivery on ac-
count of a decline in feeder values
since the contracts were made. Feed
er cattle are coming off the ranges
in fine condition, but prices are weak
er than earlier in the season, probab-
ly due to some extent to the weaker
fat cattle market.
The wonderful rains of the past
few months have placed the condition
of Arizona ranges considerably above
the average; in many cases, better

Kent Cooper, general manager Of
the Associated Press, who was in Bis
bee several months ago at the meet
ing of the Arizona Publishers asso-
citation, and who spoke at the local
Rotary club luncheon at that time,
figures in a lengthy article in the
August issue of the American Maga-
zine, which has just appeared on the
newsstands.
How did That Get in the Paper?"
is the title of the article, which was
written by Bruce Barton on the basis
of an interview with the general man
ager of the Associated Press, which
gathers the news for the Bisbee Daily
Review from every corner of the
world.
An insight into the romance as well
as the routine of newspaper work is
revealed in the article, which clears
up for the layman many of the mys-
teries which becloud his mind when
he asks himself how his daily paper
found out what has happened in the
remote regions of the earth, what
kind of news it strives to print, and
what principles guide it in its news
gathering activities.
In the usual American Magazine
style, Bruce Barton brings many Of
his points home by the means of in
teresting anecdotes and striking Illus
trations. The ingenuity of the Asso-
