STRETCH YOURSELF.



I A splendid thing for the body j,
stretching. When you first wake
VI. in the morning, take good, long
stretch Stretch the hands as fal
out sideways as possible. Then
stretch them over the head as far as
you can reach, and at the same time
stretch the feet downward as far as
you car. Raise the feet and stretch
upward just as high as you can, and
then lower the feet and legs very
slowly.
Whe.- you get out of bed, raise
your arms over your head, and,
standing on tiptoe, see how near you
can reach the ceiling. Then walk
about the room while in this posi-
ton. Stand on the right foot and
stretch the right arm forward and
upward as high as you can, while at
the sane time the left foot is raised
from 'iie floor and stretched out
ward, and the left hand is. stretched
backward and downward. This is O
6ne exercise for the whole body and
is especially good for the waist and
hips, making them firm and strong.
Standing on the left foot this exer-
else car be reversed.
If you have been sitting in the
same position for long time read
ing. ST llcvlng, writing or sewing and
the mi.cles have become tired and
cranlpc!, the best thing to do is to
get up ani stretch. Stretch the
arms upp ard aud outward and for
ward AID backward. Lift the shoul-
ders as high as you can and drop
them. Expand the chest and
breathe deeply, or, sitting in the
chair, stretch the hands upward, lift
the feet from the floor and stretch
them forward as far, as possible,
any wa SO you give the muscles q
good, vigorous stretch
When one is very tired, there is
more restful than stretch
ing the muscles and then relaxing.

ANNOUNCE CANDIDACY.

Judge Frank Baxter announced
his candidacy for reelection in re-
cent issue of the Yuma Sun. Judge
Baxter is very popular in northern
Yuma county, and he will undoubted-
ly receive large vote from this sec
ton at the primary election to be
held in September. The Sun
also announces the candidacy of Fred
1ngraham for judge of the superior
court, and Fl. Wupperman for county
attorney. While they have not as
yet announced their candidacy, it is
understood that Mel Greenleaf is out
to succeed himself in the sheriff. s
office; Walter Riley, present county
treasurer, is after the same berth;
A. B. Ming for assessor, r. |. Winn
for county recorder. 1t is probable
that Messrs. Hopkins and Proebstel

$4,000 FOR
INVESTIGATION

The Indian appropriation bill re-
Gently passed by congress, contains
an item of $4,000 for the purpose OF
making survey and investigation of
the Colorado River Indian reservation
irrigation project. The senate cut
this item to $4,000, but when the
bill went to conference Congressman
Carl Hayden succeeded in making the
senate recede from It's original action
in cutting down the appropriation,
This sum is to be expended under the
direction of the secretary of the In
terror, and it Is believed the work
will start soon after July /, when the
appropriation becomes available.
That the government will install
an adequate irrigation system for the
Parker lands is now an assured fact,
but the actual construction may not
start until the war is over. However.
II 1t is found that the project can be
constructed without the necessity of
damming the Colorado at this point,
it is believed that the work will start
this coming fall
Some engineers who have investi-
gated this project are of the opinion
that ditch with it's heading about
four miles above Parker will be suf-
icient to irrigate all of the surplus
lands of the reservation except the
present Indian allotments.
If it were possible to awaken the
sleeping Rip Van Wrinkles of the COM
munity, little local propaganda
during the next few months might
result in securing quicker action in
reference to the opening of the res
ervatiOn.

A Freakish Animal.

a few days ago, while en- route to
Parker from his mining claims in the
Whipple mountains, by auto, M.
Smith saw by the roadside, an abom-
Unable looking animal that has since
been puZzling him for a name for it
or even a classification of it's species
1t was of gray color, twelve Or four
teen inches high by about eighteen
inches long small head with thick,
blunt nose, very short legs and
short, stubby tail, it's general shape
being that of a fat pig. 1t moved
very slowly and did not appear at all
timid Mr.. Smith says it was not
badger, neither was it a ground-hog
nor beaver, as he has seen many of
those animals, so the question is,
what was he, she or it? AS this
animal was about nine miles, in any
direction, from the nearest water, it
could not have been one of the thirsty
kind and neither is Smith, for we will
vouch for the fact, en- passant, that
he never drinks.

PROCLAMATION
By PRESIDENT

This war is one of nations, not of
armies, and ali of our 100000, 900
people must be economically and in
dustrially adjusted to war conditions
if his nation is to play it's full part
in the conflict The problem before
us Is not primarily financial prob
lem but rather problem of increased
production of war essentials and the
saving Of the materials and the labor
necessary for the support and equip
ment of our army and navy.
'Thoughtless expenditure of money
for nonessentials uses up labor and
men, the products of the farm, mines
and factories and overburden trans
portation, all of which must be used
TO the utmost and at their best for
war purposes
"The great results which we seek
can be obtained only by the parti-
cipatiOn of every member of the ma
ton, young and old, in national
concerted thrift movement l, there
fore, urge that our people everywhere
pledge themselves as suggested by the
secretary of the treasury to the prac-
tice of thrift to serve the government
toetheir utmost in increasing produc-
tion in all fields necessary to the WIN
ming of the war, to conserve food and
fuel and useful materials of every
kind, to devote their labor only to the
most necessary tasks and to buy those
things only which are essential to
individual health and efficiency and
that the people as evidence of their
loyalty invest all that they can save
in Liberty bonds and War Savings
Stamps.
"The securities issued by the treas
ury department are so many of them
within the reach of every one that
the door of opportunity in this matter
is wide open to all of us The prac-
tice of thrift in times of peace is
virtue and brings great benefit to the
indtvidual at all times. With the
desperate need of the civilized world
today for materials and labor with
which to end the war, the practice
of individual thrift is patriotic duty
and a necessity.
81 appeal to all who now own
either Liberty bonds or War Savings
stamps to continue to practice econ
omy and thrift and to appeal to all
who do not own government securi-
ties tO'do likewise and purchase them
TO the extent of their means. The
man who buys government securities
transfers the purchasing power of his
money to the United States govern
ment until after the war and to that
same degree does not buy in compe
tition with the government.
'I earnestly appeal to every man
woman and child to pledge themselves
on or before the twenty-eighth of
June to save constantly and buy as
regularly as possible, the securities
OF the government and to do this, as
far as possible, through membership
in war savings societies. The twenty
eighth of June ends this special per-
iod of enlistment in the great vol
unteer army Of production and saving
here at home. May there be none
unenlisted on that day.
