VALLEY ALFALFA
GROWERS HOLDING
FOR HIGHER PRICE

According to the federal-state
market news service bulletin for
yesterday, alfalfa prices at Los An
geles are now generally a half dol
lar to dollar per ton higher than
week ago. The advance in prices
is principally due to the stronger
holding tendency of growers in the
Antelope and Imperial valleys. Pro-
ducers in those sections are report
ed holding their top grades of hay
quite firm at prices up to a dollar
per ton more than last week. Leafy
quality offerings are reported very
scarce in all nearby producing areas
with supplies of the u. S. No.
alfalfa of relatively small tonnage.
Demand at Los Angeles continued
of rather small volume during the
past week with light offerings more
than equal to trade requirements.
Dairymen were the most active buy
ers with cash sales to that class of
trade reported very light The bulk
of the shipments were taken by
dairymen on credit transactions at
prices generally a dollar TO two dol
tations. Buyers for stockyards were
reported taking moderate amounts
during the week. Grinding mills
were only occasional buyers for
small amounts of alfalfa suitable
tor meal purposes. During the first
week of this month about rs tons
of alfalfa meal left Los Angeles by
water for the Atlantic seaboard.
According to records, this has been
the largest meal shipment from Los
Angeles to the east coast TO date
this season. Demand from the
fertilizer trade was of small volume
during the past week, influenced
principally by the rather disap-
pointing returns on oranges. The
quality of the hay shipments at To-
cal terminals during the week was
principally medium to lower grade.
Trading in Imperial Valley was
reported of rather small volume
during the week ending August l3,
most of the growers having their
hay piled for storage and refusing
to accept present bids of buyers
Few deals were reported during the
week at around So to $3.50 per ton
fob ranch basis U. s. No. /. Re-
ceipts at Los Angeles for the past
seven days showed relatively
small amount of Imperial Valley
hay. Movement by truck during
the week ending August totaled
slightly over 2300 tons or about 200
tons less than the preceding period.
Prevailing prices to consumers on
the basis of current sales of alfalfa
hay comparable to the following
grades per ton, fob. Los Angeles,
are as follows today: U. S. No. /,
$3.50 to $3.50; U. S. No. 2 Leafy,
$1,000 to $3.50; U. S. No. 2, Sll00
to $1,000.

SUCCESS IN MAKING
MAYONNAISE LIES IN
Way OIL IS ADDED
IA Little at a Time" is Safest
Method. Hills Bros. Use a
Similar Rule in Their Pat
|. ented, Coffee-Roasting
E Process

Oil, in large amounts, added to
mayonnaise ingredients usually
makes the mixture separate. 1t is
better to add oil "a little at time"
There is a similar situation in
coffee roasting. Occasionally, big
patches can be roasted so each has
tie same flavor. But you can't de-
nd on it. The sure way is to roast
a little at q time. Hills Bros. do,
with their patented, Controlled
Roasting process.
AS the accuracy of the hour-glass
depends upon an even, continuous
flow E. a little at time . so the
uniform flavor Of Hills Bros. Coffee
is produced by this patented process
that roasts evenly, continuously -.
a little at time. The temperature
is exactly regulated while the blend
flows through the roasters. Every
single berry is perfectly roasted.
Naturally, then, every pound has
the perfect flavor!
Hills Bros. Coffee is packed in
vacuum cans that keep it fresh!
Air, which makes coffee go stale, is
removed and kept out of these cans.
Even ordinary, "air-tight" cans
won't keep coffee fresh. Order Hills
Bros. Coffee today. Ask for it by
name, and look for the Arab trade
mark on the can.

SPORTS PARADE
OFFERS VARIETY
IN TODAY'S NEWS
BY HENRY McLEMORE
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Aug. Ia. U.P)-
Mates miserable showing in the
Saranac handicap on Wednesday
not only furnished another example
of why all hoss players must die
broke and all bookies spend their
last days in the squalid surround
ingS of a pent house; it also added
another defeat to the already size
able string of setbacks suffered by
the "big five" this season
BY the big five" we mean Twen-
ty Grand, Mate, Sun Beau, James,
town, and Equipoise; those horses
who, partly because of performance
and partly because OF publicity,
have managed to hold the racing
spotlight all season.
Each OF these stars has taken it
on the nose from inferior horses at
least twice this year. Before being
run into the ground by an ordi-
nary field in the Saranac, Mate had
run third to Sweep All's second in
the Kentucky Derby.
Twenty Grand, after a magnifi-
cent start in the Wood memorial,
took Mates dust in the PreakneSs
and was beaten out for second mo-
ney in the Arlington classic by
Spanish play.
What do all these ups and downs
of the big boys mean? Nothing,
save that the man who said the big
ger they are the harder they fall,
knew what he was talking about,
and that hoss racing, like all other
sports, can't hope TO produce a
champion who can take on all COM
ers, under any and all conditions,
more than once in a generation.
When Twenty Grand followed his
magnificent work in the derby with
a smashing win in the Belmont,
handfulS of the experts who went
overheard for the big Whitney colt,
calling him another Man o War.
Twenty Grand is a sweet horse,
and looked like twenty million in
a couple of his races, but he never
had and probably never will see the
ddy WlltIl tdII Gill uJ anu
lay EN- down like Big Red.
When Twenty Grand goes to the
post there is always some doubt as
to the winner. When they wound
Big Red up and sent him out there
it was all over but the shouting
1t all boils down to the fact that
Man O. War was a champion, and
being a champion didn't care
whether it was hot or cold, wet or
dry, Monday or Tuesday. All he
asked for was starting point,
judges stand, and somebody up
there in the saddle to stop him
when it was all over.

Estimate Appeals to Mccoy.
For IL years when estimates of tax

went to Mccoy.
Mr.. Mccoy, seized with a sudden at

Fourteenth and c streets, managed to

ASK SALE PERMISSION

The District Commissioners yesterday
asked Congress for authority to sell q
small plot Of ground near Thirty-nirth
street and Cathedral avenue, which was
a powder-house site for the munich
pality of Georgetown many years ago.
The Commissioners explained that the
parcel is too small to be of any use
to the city, measuring only 40 by 40
feet, and that it is situated in the
center of the property of the West

bill drafted by the city heads would
authorize sale of the powder house site

CHATAN|KA VICTOR IN
 FIRST AID CONTEST

For the second consecutive year the team representing the Fair banks Exploration Company camp at Chatanika, has won the first aid contest, says the Fairbanks News Miner.
 Competing against four other groups of life savers, the Chata- nika team scored an impressive victory recently before approx imately 150 persons who watched the contest in the Fox messhouse.
 The work of all five teams dis played much preliminary prepara- tion and the spectators were as tonished at the dexterity with which they bound supposed hurts.
 In winning Chatanika amassed a score of 99.67 per cent. Cleary was close second with 99.4O. Goldstream followed with o9.27. Gilmore was fourth with 98.67 and Fox placed fifth, it's percent age being 9807.
 The contest was made possible through the work of George Mil- Ter, foreman miner of the United States bureau of mines, whose coaching was also responsible for the holding of the first contest last year.

 WORTHLESS ENTERPRISE.

c. R. Flynn was convicted in Los Angeles on five counts, charg- ing him with grand theft in con- nection with his methods of fi- nancing his furless enterprise on Long Island, near Kasaan, Alaska, says the Alaskan.
 He had obtained over four thous- and to start fox and mink farm permission to occupy Long Island having been given him by the
