ADVERTISEMENTS ESTABLISH
 FELLOWSHIP WITH TIE BUYER

Merchants and manufactures have certain articles they wish to sell. ln order to sell them they advertise.
 "That is their business" you say; 'they are doing it to benifit them selves.
 True, they are advertising primar- fly for their own profit. But there is more to present-day advertising than that. It has created a spirit of con- fidence and friendinless between the seller and the buyer that has become so much a part of our daily lives that we hardly relize it unless We stop to think.
 Have you ever made purchase in the Orient? If so, you remember how you have entered shop and after pol1ing through through confused heaps of articles you found something that struck your fancy. You asked the price and were told it was worth, per haps, the equivalent of dollar. Then ensued haggling, haranguing, threats, imprecations, until finally at the end of half and hour you triumphantly emerged from the shop, the article in your hand and 50 cents gone from your pocket. When you looked again at you rpurchase your good common sen SC told you it was worth about 10 cents.
 Contrast such an experience with shopping here today. You will ap- preciate as never before the value of THE EXAMINERS advertisements, which lead you to firms known for their honest goods and their fair deal ings.

POSTMASTER OCCUPIES
 OLD ADOBE LANDMARK

Captain C. V. Meeden, postmaster, and wife, are moving today to the old Darlington residence on Second street opposite The Examiner office, and will occupy same during the absence of
 Ir. Darlington which will be until October 1S
 This old adobe house was built by
 Russian George in 1872, the year of the birth of the Arizona Sentinel, which is now the weekly edition of the Yuma Examiner There is an old mesquite tree standing in front of the house which is just as old and which owes it's existence to Colonel Dorrington's very kindly care. It has been ordered down several times-the last time when the city ordered built the sidewalks on Second street. But when the ax was raised the Coolnel fought it so hard that the city desisted and it is probable that the old landmark will remain there-a comfort and a blessing to man and beast, just as the Maker of the Universe intended that it should.
 The land on which the house now stands, together with large part of the town of Yuma, was filed on as government land by Russian George some years prior to 1872.

IMPERIAL CROPS KILLED BY FIRE;
 FORMER YUMA|TE SUFFERS LOSS

FL CENTRO, June 22-Fire that was Tanned by stiff western breeze swept over many acres in the grow ing grain belt of the Imperial Valley last night, licking up hundreds of tons Of growing barley an dbaled alfalfa, the loss of which is estimated at near iy $20,000. Scores of men fought the fire throughout the night and at midnight the blaze was practically got ten under control after it had burned three ranch houses and a quantity of farming implements.
 The fire started on the Lyall broth CTS ranch at Keystone station, seven miles northeast of Imperial, about , o'clock yesterday afternoon, and it's origin is believed to have been due to incendiarism-th work of tramps who were refused work on the Lyall ranch earlier in the day
 With great rapidity the flames had swept over the barley fields, and when it was apparnt that it could not be controlled, help was summoned hy telephone from Imperial and Brawley
 Engines and fire fighters from both these communities and men from the surrounding region rushed to fight back the fire but with the speed of an express train it moved eastward consuming the grain and small put

buildings and live stock in it's path Small ditches of running water offered messed moving machines the fire fighters tried to cut an impromptu fire break in the fields but the fire jumped these and forced men and horses to seek shelter
 The barley was bone dry and ready to be cut today and the, irrigation ditches contained but little water, and the fire fighting was concentrated on an attempt to keep the flames with in the big boundary canals. Back-fir- ing was resorted to by the ranchers adjoining the Lyall acreage in the bat tie to save their fields.
 Besides the Lyall ranch, which com prises 800 acres, about 300 of adjoin- ing ranches and considerable property and products they contained were de vastated. An eighty-acre barren field finally served to stop the sweep of the flames. A dense pail of smoke hangs over Imperial this evening and in El Centro the electric lights are scarcely visible.
 Uutil a recapitulation of the dam age is made the exact extent of the losses cannot be determined.
 The Lyall brothers were formerly of Yuma.

MILLIONS SPENT ID
 PROMOTE THINKING

Millions of dollars are spent annual ly in this country to promote think ing. You are induced to think on all sorts of subjects at a vast expendi- tuer of money. Some concerns want you to think about clothes, others want you to study the question of breakfast foods, while others want you to investigate the care of the teeth and think that sort of paste, powder or liquid wash is best for preserving them
 Advertising is the method by which these men are inducing you to think They know that if you begin to think you will insist on the best, and each advertiser knows that his goods pos sess real merit He knows it would pay him to advertise something that would not stand the hard test of actual use.
 If you will do the thinking the aim of the advertiser has been achieved, for you will in time try his goods. That is all he wants-just a trial. He will then depend on the goods to make ! favorable impression. Advertising merely interests-makes you think.

COMPLETION OF YUMA
 PROJECT |S ADVISED

Secretary Frank K. Lane of the De partment of the Interior, in yester days Los Angeles Examiner, shows not only a willingness, but that he is in sympathy with the efforts of the people here and all along the Colorado river.
 He advises that plans be made at an early date to water the long dry desert wherever needed. He suggests a special commission of engineers fol the construction of storage dams which would be the source of enough electrical power to pay, in short time, the whole cost of construction.
 If one will carefully read the cor respondence mentioned above, in Fri days Los Angeles Examiner, they vii plainly see that it tells more and car ries more assurance than any previous statement, that the mesa of YW county, and other sections of the W as well are, in the near future, to have water in abundance.
 It shows, further, that much time and deliberation are linked together by Secretary Lane, and his plans and purposes are all made known in a practical way. It is the best ind of any early completion of the irriga tion problem we have yet seen.
