BEEF AND HOG PRICES SEEN AS
ENCOURAGEMENT TO STOCKMEN

cattle were in urgent demand
throughout the month, with sup
plies rather scarce towards the
close. Some fed cattle were pur-
chased on Missouri river markets
by Los Angeles packers
Hays states that Zinn's report
shows price advances featured uhe
June fat lamb market, as suppies
n California dwindled. A top Oh
Sc was scored on the Los Angeles
market towards the close OF June,
and the bulk of California fat
lambs were sold at $3.50 to $o.00,
making values at the close OF June
fully SO cents to rs cents higher
than at the close of May. A year
ago. top lambs sold on the Los An
geles market at $3.50, with the bulk
at $3.50 to $3.50, according to Hays
The chamber OF commerce re-
port indicates that there appears
to be strong undertone IN the
market. Receipts of lambs at tne
Los Angeles Union stock yards on
June ~ totaled 6225 head, the
largest single days run on record
at that market.
Hog raising in Imperial Valley,
according to zinn, appears to be
particularly promising He states
that some of those prominently
identified with hog production IN
the middle western states assert
that farmers have been cashing
their hogs to such degree that
future production may be seriously
curtailed. There are also numer-
Gus reports that farmers have failed
to take the usual care of their hogs,
both in breeding and feeding, with
the result that there may be
wider variation in quality than
normally, with a possible scarcity
of desirable market hogs. ut would
appear" zinn states. that good
quality brood sows and gifts would
prove to be attractive from an in
vestment standpoint. Grains are
the cheapest in many years and it
is my opinion that many Califor-
MIA grain farmers would find the
purchase of sows at prevailing
prices good investment and the
most profitable means of market

Prospects for beef and hog prices,
matter of much moment to I'M
perial Valley livestock growers,
based on recent advances in the Los
Angeles markets are very encourag-
ing, according to d. l.. Zinn, chair
man of the agricultural committee
of the Ell Centric Chamber of Conf
merce. In a summary prepared BY
zinn for the chamber staff, IL
was noted that the outstanoine
performance in the June livestock
situation was the strong upward
trend in hog prices. After dropping
to the lowest levels for many years
at the end of May. there was some
recovery early in the month, with
sharp upward revision toward the
close of the period, sending hog
prices more than SIPS higher than
the low point.
Zinn has advised the chamber
staff that there is a feeling IN the
trade that the present advance Is
more substantial in character than
the usual seasonal Improvement
which generally occurs at this time
of the year. Strength is given to
this attitude because of reports of
smaller hog marketings anticipated
for the balances of the year. Defi-
mite improvement in hog prices is
the most encouraging news that
could come out of livestock mar
kets, according to zinn.
"It is noted from zinn's sum-
mary" states Robert Hays, mana
ger of the Ell Centre chamber, that
the action of the cattle market dur
ing June was encouraging, though
price improvement was largely linn
tied to the better grades of fed
cattle. Advances were made on the
Los Angeles market, where on June
21, choice fed Texas yearlings
scored s7.65, the highest price paid
on this market since last Novem-
ber. A good many fed yearlings
sold at $6.75 to $3.50, and heavy
steers reached $500 for the first
time this year. Most of the choice
fed cattle were from out of the
state, supplies coming largely from
Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado and
New Mexico. Good quality fed

with He was girded, . So after
He had washed their feet, and

Know ye what l have done to

The Advertisements
....printed for your convenience

Suppose all the advertisers in your favorite
newspaper should stop advertising for week.
What inconvenience would result! How much
telephoning and shopping around to get the an
swers to such questions as: whats playing at
the downtown theatres? When will the new vac
uum cleaner be on sale? Who is offering shoe
bargains? Where can buy that dry shampoo
Emily told me about?"
The answers to these questions and to hundreds
Of similar ones that people ask every day, are
news VITAL news. You're interested to learn
who won yesterdays ball game. But you're real
ly interested to learn that certain store is sell
ing product you need for price you can afford
to pay
Furthermore, the advertisements save you time,
for you can read them quickly. They save your
energy, for you can read them at home, away
from the pushing crowds, and plan just what to
buy and where to buy. And they save your mon
ey, by enabling you to adjust your needs to the
limitations of your budget. In short, they are
pocketbOok editorials, condensing and interpret
ing for you the merchandise news of the day.

FULL OF VICE

LOS ANGELES, Aug. Is. U.P)-
Charging Los Angeles is infested
with speakeasies, brothels, gambling
joints, racetrack bookmakers and
lottery dens," leaders of the Wom-
ems Christian Temperance Union
today petitioned the city council to
investigate vice conditions and the
police department
The lengthy petition asserted that
police officers making $l72 month
were living far beyond their income,
and that Gypsy fortune tellers
prey upon the public under per-
mits from the police commission"
Echoing a previous petition, the
w. G. T. U. leaders asserted in
formation was furnished Mayor
John c. Porter some time ago and
that "some small offenders were
raided and jailed, but no big loca-
tions of vice were molested."

and of the ministerial and church
federations paid a visit last May
to the mayor, in which information
on vice conditions was said to have
been turned over to the executive.

MEXICALI POLICE
SEEKING SLAYER
OF CALEXICO MAN

Mystery surrounds the murder
of Leslie Levi Smith, engineer at
the Aztec brewery in MeXicali,
whose hacked and riddled body was
found at the plant Saturday morn
ing.
Mexicai police today are engaged
in investigating a maze of indefin-
ite clews in an attempt to discover
the killer or killers. So far as could
be learned today Smith had no per-
sonal enemies and a motive for the
crime had not been discovered. =
The engineer was killed while on
duty, an autopsy revealing knife
wounds and five bullet wounds. He
had been shot and stabbed in the
back as well as in the front of his
body.
Funeral services were conducted
Yesterday at the Arnold Funeral
home in Calexico with the CaleXico
fire department in charge. The
sermon was preached by Rev. Carl
c. Harwood of the Ell Centro Bap-
tist church. The body was taken
to the Mt. View cemetery aboard
fire truck as he was member of
the volunteer fire department, be-
ing a captain.
He was a son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Ezra A. Smith of CaleXico and had
resided in Calexico for the last Is
years. He was born in Missouri,
March 81, 1902. His employment at
the Aztec brewery continued for
the last seven years.
Smith had been working on the
night shift for some time and was
to have been transferred to the
day shift On Saturday. Police are
said to be working on the theory
that workmen may have murdered
him in order tc obtain his posi-
ton. Robbery and arson are de-
clared to be among the theories
now under investigation by Mexican
officials.

Olympic Games
Come To Close
Continued From Page y

we'll after 6. Ii was emotionally
thrilling and once-in- "a Lifetime
shot for most of the spectators.
The tenth Olympiad Of the mod
ern era contained more new world
and Olympic records than any in
the past. Columns would be needed
to list all of the standout achieve
ments. Chief among them were the
American triumphs in the Olympics
as whole, in the mems and wom-
ems track and field, in womens
swimming and in the rowing.
To the japanese went the honor
of capturing the mems swim cham
pionship. Only by virtue of one
two-three finishes in both high
diving and in springboard diving
were the Americans saved from
utter route by the Nipponese.
Tolan Is Star
The big star Of the games, prob
ably, was little Eddie Tolan, De-
troit Negro. This super runner set
new record time in both the 100
meter and the 20o-meter which he
won by eyelash margins. There
were two women marvels. One was
Mildred Babe" Didrikson of Dallas,
who won the javelin and hurdles
events, while placing second in the
high jump. The Babe felt pretty
badly about failing to win that high
jump, but she was a good sport in
saying she was glad Miss Shiley,
teammate, won it.
The other big feminine ace was
Helen Madison of Seattle, who cap
tured the 100 and 400-meter free
style swim titles.
The iron men of the games were
Jim Bauch, middlewestern Ameri-
can who scored in the gruelling if
boring decathlon, and Juan Carlos
Zabala, Argentine star, who fin
ished first in the marathon.
Probably the thrillingest event
was the eight-oared rowing final.
Won by the United States, repre-
sented by the University of Califor-
MIA crew, which nosed Italy's blue
shirts in the closing strokes.
The prix de nations jumping
event (equestrian) was the last
competition conducted in the sta
dun. Lieut.. Takeichi Nishi of
Japan, who negotiated the 1050-
meter course, studded with barriers
and water jumps, with only eight
faults, won. Major Harry D.
Chamberlin of the United States
was second and Lieut.. Clarence Won
Rosen, Sweden, third.
In an international water polo
match which closed activities at
Olympic swimming stadium, a COM
bined Hungarian and German team
defeated the United States, 4 to 8.
