Like the manufacturer, the merchant who:.is alert and watchful has one eye on today's profit apd another .on
tomorrow's. Both are ignorant of the future effect , of the war on business, but all: agree that-the. last-thing to be
sacrificed is salesbuilding and good will. 'v . ,. -
Just as the END of the war' will bring the keenest kind of competition among manufacturers and merchant 4n -. '-.. V '

In both cases it is quality and service that will give reward in sales and success. There is always a market
for high grade merchandise, and the merchant who carries only quality goods will profit today and need.have no .fear .
of tomorrow. ' :

. Imperial Valley Wants Everything
(ConUnued Prom Page One.)
The $1,600,000 to be paid for a connection with Laguna dam
wouldn't be a drop in the bucket compared to giving Impe
rial Valley the right to ALL THE WATER IN THE RIVEk
in the event there was ever a water shortage. Better by far
permit Imperial Valley to keep up her struggle
for water at Hanlon heading diversion dam that give away
the greatest asset Yuma Project can ever hope to have.
As to Imperial Valley's claim to the power that will be
developed when the canal shall have been enlarged, that
contention can be dismissed forthwith, for "our beloved Yu
ma mesa" would go out of existence if we had no power with
which to lift the water from the canal to these unsurpassed
lands.
Our plans are already complete for the construction of
the necessary works at Araz to utilize the power that can be
developed at that point. If Imperial Valley is willing to pick
up the water at that point, after we have done with it, why,
all well and good; but if Imperial Valley insists that this:
power belongs to Imperial Valley, why, in that event Impe
rial Valley had just as well keep on wrestling with her "wat
er shortage problem" at Hanlon heading, for as long as the
sun shines, as long as "our beloved Yuma mesa" is thirsty,
as long as there is a Yuma Project we will continue to insist
that Yuma Project is very justly entitled to AS MUCH
POWER AS IT MAY BE ABLE TO MANUFACTURE AT
ANY POINT ALONG THE CANAL, NO MATTER AT
' HAT POINT, FOR USE ON THE MESA.
That is as certain as two and two make four, and if Im-
"rI Valley thinks it can "slip one over" by sending a spe-
cjmmittee to Washington it will find that Yuma is on
nc, ready to fight to the last ditch for her rights.
"We want to meet you in a spirit of fairness and friend
liness," said Mr. Swing, and then he proceeded to try to
"break it off in Yuma Project." Well, maybe they can, and
maybe they can't. The directors of Imperial Valley are ex
pected to meat here Saturday of this week with our board
of governors, to come to an amicable agreement. Just strike
nut the objectionable features above alluded to and we can
get together very easily. If Imperial Valley sticks to her
contentions it would seem merely a waste of time to discuss
them, for we can never yield one iota in that direction. We
can very easily get along without Imperial Valley but Im
perial Valley can't survive wjthout Laguna dam.
