COME ID YUMA AND
 YOU WILL GROW YOUNG

If you want to grow young come to Yuma and advertise-the climate will do the rest. If you want to see he proof and get particulars, you New Workers who live in Gods country, write to some of Yuma's citizens who qre over so years of age and, having lived here nearly all their lives, still do not look a day over forty. The Examiner would refer you to such well known Yumaites as Captain Polhamus, w. w. Woodman and Paul Savigny the painter who works every day at the age of 82; and there are scores more of busy Yumaites who range in age from 65 to 80, who do not look a minute older than you New Workers at 40. Come west, breathe the pure, fresh air and stay young.

TIE WAY IF THE KNOCKERS;
 THEIRS |S ID TAKE, NOT GIVE

Yuma is as free perhaps of knock ers' as any city in all the country, which accounts for her continuous growth. In fact things go so swiftly forward that hte fellow who stops to knock geUs swept away and lost in the rush.
 Unfortunately, however. Yuma's neighbors are not so fortunate and the following, which we find floating around among the exchanges, may be profitably studied and applied by other towns which may be so unfortunate as to>1lave knockers in their midst
 The unknown exchange says:
 Tn every community can be found a number of men who have gained affluence but who are not willing to do anything for the community which has supported and given them the op- pOrtunity to amass their wealth They are content to live what might be termed a perfectly harmless life and do as little as possible outside of their regular business duties.
 "They take no interest in town af- fairs except to criticise those who are active, and find fault with the exist ing order of things. They never at tend a public meeting or add their in fluence to a worthy cause promoted by their neighbors and friends. They TO not join commercial bodies or civic clubs and are always hard to find when a subscription list is being cir culated. They are ready and willing to diagnose every civic ailment by giving their opinion, but that is all that they will give. They resent the activity of the aggressive newcomer and they view with alarm an honest endeavor to aid the growth and pros perity of the town. They are stock holders in the community but their stock must be listed aside capital. They take from the community but +hey do not give in return. They cast no bzread upon the water, therefore nothing returns to the community from their efforts. They join with the common variety of knocker in holding back the community in which they live. They are taxpayers but they never tax themselves with the burden of boosting their own town.
 'The community needs their ability and assistance in promoting it's cause, but they pursue the even tenor of their way and let their home town suffer and lag because of their inactivity. And the other fellow is always to- blame for the shortcomings of the town"

r lHVVV " YUMA, YOUNG MAYS OPPORTUNITY AND THE OLD MAYS PARADISE

Sl CoICu.
 In the normal course of develop
 ment all irrigated sections must usu ally pass through a period of econom. ic depression resulting from the pro duction of crops in excess to local ! demands. Early attention to finding crops that can bear the cost of ship ment will do much to lessen the duration and severity of this period. Many, after the first demonstration of this condition of affairs, refuse to venture farther to seek an outside market or organize an association for the handling of crops on a co-opera- tive basis, fearing the frieght rates will eat up the profits. The conse- quence is that the local business is affected and the railroad companies refuse to place improvements or quote rates to company lacking in pros perity.
 On the whole, a general survey Of the situation suggests that the sus- tained prosperity of an irrigated dis trict will depend upon development along one or more of the following lines: Intelligent cooperation of ranchers in marketing of crops; the testing out of a uniform and success fully, thereby reducing the expense of handling and shipping to the mines and factories to such an extent that the big crop products are largely dis posed of locally; the production of special crops that cannot be grown as well under rainfall or that may be sent to market in season when they are not available elsewhere: or the production of larger crops of such high priced products as can bear the cost of transportation.
 To the alert man Yuma spells OPPORTUNITY. The truth about Yuma as a glorious homeland is be- coming known and many are throng ing the country seeking a new home and finding it. Here one turns on his own rain and lives in a climate famous for it's pure air and mellow sunshine young mans opportunity and an old mans paradise.
 Yuma has five churches, three banks, two daily newspapers, two hotels, ice and electric light plants a creamery, a wagon and repair shop, bottling works, a splendid and well patronized school system. Il addition to which is the Fort Yuma indian school
 Yuma is surrounded by one of the richest mineral sections of Arizona and is located in the Colorado and Gila valleys, two of the most productive valleys in the world There are about 10000 acres under successful irriga- tiOn and cultivation and the United States government made an approrpia- ation of $7,OOO,OOOO for the purpose Of utilizing the waters of the Colorado and making it possible to irrigate nearly 100000 acres more of this fer tile valley. Here the lands and the climate are especially adapted to the cultivation of grain, alfalfa, oranges, lemons, grapes, figs, dates, and every known variety of fruit, melons and vegetables

In the World of Sport

OF the contest which was one Of the
wind-up features of a big night.
The Fargo boy didn't understand the
slap bang way in which the eastern
ers go at boxing. The bouts are all
for six rounds and in those six rounds
there, ts a great lea of action. Leo
was holding his own for four rounds,
and after that he appeared to size up
the situation and went after Scan1on
in true eastern style and when the
gong sounded at the end of the sixth
Scanlon was hanging on to the ropes
TO save himself from being knocked
out Scanlon is some boxer. a few
nights ago he sent Knockout Hogan
to the floor for the count and has been
against. some of the top n]otChers.

partment of this paper says he Will
be home in a short time, but expects
to go back to Philadelphia and New
York again.

This club received it's license at the

Billy Gibson probably has made
more money out of the game h any
body in the commonwealth. The Nc
Mahon boys, too. have made a profit
with their shows, but as for the 9TH
er promoters most Of them arc losing
money right and left. There are very
few of the original thirty-five clubs
who received licenses to run from the
state commission who are still doing
business.
The reason for the clubs failing to
make a success of the sport are the
big guarantees demanded by the box
ers, the lack of good men in this sec
ton, the high cost of conducting a big
club and the state tax Of 5 per cent of
the gross receipts. Despite all his
