CASE OF RUSTIETUS
 YIELDS ID DR. F|XIT

Dr. Fix-It, the mechanical surgeon at 165 Main street, has several severe cases on his hands at the present time Among them is a shotgun that was badly misused and neglected by it's owner until it contracted a very bad mechanical disease known as ''rusti- etus." After a careful examination and with the aid of an instrument shaped like a small nut picker the doctor prescribed a treatment of ma chine oil.
 There are many interesting things in connection with this business and very few people realize how import ant surgeon is when something goes wrong with a valuable machine. It is safe to say that the doctor saves hundreds of dollars to his customers every year that would be otherwise spent on something new to replace the broken machine or anything else from baby carriage to photograph There is nothing that the doctor can not fix in the mechanical line.
 There is no limit to my capabilities in the repair line" he says. This modern surgeon has a big practice established here in Yuma and in his spare time does engraving for who ever may require work of that kind His workshop would delight the hearL of the average mechanic; he has tools of every description-the best there is for everything in it's line.

BELL SYSTEM SHARES
 WITH THEIR EMPL0YES

DENVER, Colo, Jan. Especial to the Yuma Daily Examiner-The Amer ican Telephone and Telegraph Com pany announces that arrangements have been made by which the em- ployes of the Bell system who have been two years or more in the service and who so desire may purchase stock of the Company for $110 per share on easy terms of payment.
 No employe can purchase more than one share for each $500 of annual wages he receives, nor more than ten shares whatever his wages.
 The terms of payment will be $2.0G per share per month beginning with March, 1915, and the quarterly divi- dends paid on the stock will go to- wards paying for it after deducting in terest at 4 per cent per annum on the unpaid balances.
 The American Company has paid s per cent dividends for seven years. and it is calculated that dividends at this rate and the S2.0O per share per month payments by employees will pay for the stock in full by November, 1918. Any employe who so desires can after March 1, 1917, but not before pay in the balance on his stock and receive his stock certificate
 Should an employe, leave the service or die before his stock is fully paid for, the amount he has paid in plus the accumulated dividends Qess 4 per cent interest," will be paid back.
 The American Telephone and Tele- graph company is the parent company of the Bell Telephone system which operates and connects with eight and 9 half million telephone stations throughout the country.
 It has about 6O,OOO stockholders and 160,000 employees Its issued capital stock is nearly S35O,OOO,OOO, and is quoted on the stock exchanges about SIS per share.
 The company makes it plain that no employe is under any obligation to buy any stock, but it is believed that a considerable number of employees will take advantage of this opportunity to save a little money every month and invest it in the business.
