New York, Jan. 1.-THE war broker is
a pest
New York is overrun with them.
Every man
Who Is too lazy to get job
Or too incompetent to hold one
Or too much of a crook to be hired
Now calls himself a war broker
Making millions.
Nine out of ten are fakes.

real ones.

He used TO be real estate agent
And pretty poor one.

And asked the usual Hover things?"
He said Great
And looked as mysterious as a new

He also said he was making lots of
money.
Would make more than half a million
In few months.
In his whole life
He had never made 5000 a year.
So l guessed his secret and said,
You're buying munitions for France"
No. Russia. But who told your
I said didn't need to be told.
The figures spoke for themselves.
Just like the chorus girls in the Follies

Druggists Association Notified by
Commissioners to Submit Objections
to Regulations in Writing.

The Commissioners yesterday requested
the Retail Druggists Association and the
West End Citizens Association to file
written briefs setting forth their objec-
tions to the regulations against the COM
mon towel and drinking cup. which are
scheduled to go into effect February l.
The Commissioners will set a date for a
public hearing as soon as possible after
receiving the briefs.
The druggists organization wrote to
the Commissioners, expressing the belief
that the language of the regulations
should be made clearer so that the un-
scientific mind could grasp just what Is
necessary to comply with the law in re-
gard to sterilization.
The regulation provides that no glass
or other drinking vessel or common
towel shall be used in a public place un-
less sterilIzed every time used.

SUNDAY CONCERT
 AT MAIN CAMP

The Examiner has noted a disposi- ton in certain quarters to unjustly criticise the pastors of the city for the discontinuance of Sunday night plaza band concerts by the U. s. mili- tary band, now in this city.
 The Examiner today personally call ed on Revs. Lovejoy and Cox, of the Methodist and Baptist churches, who each stated that as is their custom, they requested the army authorities to arrange their hours so as to avoid any conflict in the time of services, which is perfectly reasonable re- quest, and in all other communities such a request is usually granted by local or military bands.
 Both pastors said: "Our people like to hear the concerts for they are of exceptional merit and we would like to hear them ourselves"
 The Examiner learned today that the band will hereafter play on Sun- day evening at 6:15 at the main camp in West Yuma in connection with di- vine services. It is presumed that all who wish to attend are welcome.

FIST INFANTRY BAND
 RENDERED FINE MUSIC

The twenty-first regiment band gave another delightful musical concert last night in Reclamation park to a large and appreciative audience. Director Butler was highly elated over the fact that a platform set against the main building had been erected during the day. The band took it's place on the platform and with one accord every body agreed that the music sounded very much better than when the mu- sicians were compelled to be seated on the lawn, though it is hard to con- ceive how sweeter- or better music could be furnished than the people of Yuma have been enjoying since the band reached Yuma.
 The entertainment at Elks' Hall to- morrow Saturday, night will have the crack orchestra of the regimental band to furnish the music, which at once guarantees that this is to be the greatest musical event the Elks have ever given. It should prove most enjoyable affair. If you have not al ready made arrangements to attend this social function, better go see Ray Hawver, or some of the other mem bers of the committee that have the affair in hand.

CBy B. F. Fly)

Now that the state of So- nora, Mexico, is figuring on making arrangements with the U. s. Reclamation Ser vice for connection with the Yuma project, in order to ir- rigate Sonora lands adjacent to Yuma Valley, the real thinking people of Imperial Valley are at last awakening to the importance, if tot the absolute necessity of connect ing that system with Yuma project.
 One of the most sensible things l have seen printed in any of the Im- perial valley papers for many long day is an interview with Deputy County Assessor Dan Wiest, as re- ported in the Imperial Press of yes terday, wherein he declares that the olgical thing for Imperial Valley to do is to connect with Yuma project at the earliest possible date, thereby affording Imperial Valley with a reg ular flow of water al the time, and at the same time practically eliminate the silt problem for all time to come.
 When the officials of the Imperial irrigation system come to the same conclusion, and hasten to make the necessary arrangements with Recla- nation officials, they will at once have not only performed their duty, but will also have taken the only step that can possibly save that splendid coun- try from utter annihilation on ac- count of the silt problem, which now costs the farmers of Imperial Valley One Million Dollars Per Annum to even half way control.
 But, will they do it in time?
 The Mexican commission now here in Yuma has made very close super ficial examination of the entire situa- tion, as stated in my special article giving the details of my trip with the commission down into Sonora yester- day. They realize that to connect with Yuma project will be a veritable gold mine to the people who will eventually settle in that section of the state of Sonora; or, as Senor Corella
Arizona sentinel Yuma southwest., 1916-05-25
IMPERIAL DEPUTY ASSESSOR MAY
 YET AWAKEN FARMERS THERE

expressed it when he was gazing on the waters flowing through our spill way at the border:
 Tt is nothing less than liquid gold going to waste
 However, has the Colorado sufficient water to irrigate the Yuma project, the lands below Yuma ill the state of So- nora and the Imperial Valley con- bined? That is the interesting ques- tion at the present time.
 If not. then who is to get the benefit of the present surplus-Imperial Val ley or Sonora?
 It is we'll known that according to the existing treaty between the United States and Mexica that the latter Re public has been awarded a certain proportion of the waters of the Colo rado. The only question, therefore, is which one of these contending inter- ests shall have the privilege of con- necting with Yuma project?
 Imperial Valley, through lack of foresight or bullheadedness, has slept on her rights for many years, so long in fact that Governor de la Huerta, of Sonora, only but recently appointed to that position is now determined to see what can be done toward connect ing with Yuma project, and, inasmuch as the settlement of that section, and it's irrigation, will mean greater pros perity for Yuma, I apprehend that but little trouble will be experienced in making the proper and necessary arrangements to get the use of all the waste waters, at least, and possibly so connect with the project that thou sands of acres in the Sonora Valley can be put under irrigation.
 Deputy Assessor Wiest, however, will likely stir things up over in the Imperial country to such an extent, since his recent visit to Laguna dam, that the farmers of Imperial Valley will put on their war paint and de mand that their board of directors grant them relief from the silt problem and grant it without delay-else the Sonora valley may step in and get the cream
 It is question we'll worth the most serious consideration at the hands of those who are now guiding the destiny of Imperial Valley.
