Cordova will soon be engaged In Red <
Cross work, aB local ladies are plan
ning a campaign and are only await
ing the necessary paraphernalia.
The Red ('rose — it is not "The i
Red Cross Society" — the word "so
ciety” does not belong to it — Is the
most unique organization on the face i
of the earth. It was organized years
ago to relieve misery, wherever misery
happened to be, and however it came
about. In this country it is known
as The American Red Cross. There
is also the International Red Cross,
and a Red Cross in every civilized na
tion on earth.
The Red Cross has its officers, and
is one of the most splendid organiza
tions to be found anywhere. It knows
what to do under all circumstances,
and has competent men employed to
do what ought to be done, or to teach
others how to do it. It employs nurses
and assistants of every kind, and dis
tributes food and clothing and medi
cines. It co-operates with all manner
of other societies; it lends a helping
hand to all societies that are trying
to relieve human misery.
Whether distress comes from war.
or from famine, or from fire or flood,
or anything else, the Red Cross of
fers its services. If the calamity
which befalls is of magnitude, It sends
experts to the scene, to aid and di
rect. It disburses money scientifical
ly, in a sense, but always with a heart
throw in the disbursing.
The Red Cross is supported by its
members and by voluntary contribu
tions. It costs one dollar to belong
to it. It receives donations from one
penny up. Many wealthy people, anx
ious to do something for mankind, but
not knowing how to do it, give their
money to the Red Cross, knowing it
will be used properly. Many poor
people, having little to give, give that
little to the Red Cross, feeling that
their mite will help somebody.
The Red Cross is non-sectarian and
non partisan. It does not "belong to
any church.” It works among the
heathens as among the Christians;
Jews and Gentiles, Catholics and Pro
testants, black and white — it is all
the same to the lied Cross. It asks
no questions as to race or creed.
