_ p EVERY house in Cordova had a cistern, and all the jj
1 water in Cordova was in those cisterns, scattered over the gj
I town of what use would that water be in case of fire? |j
I Very’ little indeed, 'but if all that water was in one large jj
A reservoir properly piped it would be of immense value as m
fire protection. _ ■
In the same way if every person in Cordova had a hundred jj
or a thousand dollars in his pocket, of what use is it in pro- jj
moting business in Cordova? Very little if at all, but if it is Eg
all deposited in the banks of Cordova a fund is created of suf- |j
ficient amount to be of very great value in developing the bust- =
ness of the community.
I Are you helping to develop and promote the business of jj
this commuity by depositing your money in the Banks here, or gj
is it your pocket? jj

Big Money in Gardening in This Indiana City
GARY, IND.—The spectacle of the 800 men, women and children of East
Gary down on their knees—but let’s tell the story In regular order. It
should go ubout like this: About five years ago Mrs. Sarah Kohler died In a
cottage. She had lived for years on
the bounty of her neighbors. The
owner arranged with John Rezac,
teamster and Iceman, to remodel the
cottage. Before long John began to
show astonishing signs of prosperity.
A suit of clothes, a new harness, a
truck followed one another at regular
Intervals. His neighbors wondered.
The true Inwardness of John’s
prosperity was this: He found $150
in a little bag pinned to a curtain. In
tearing up the back porch he found a
bag containing $600. At various times he found other bags containing various
amounts.
Finally, the other evening in spading up the garden, John uncovered a
three-gallon bucket. It was filled to overflowing with sliver and gold coins.
There were American, Mexican, Bohemian and Italian coins. Some of them
dated back to the seventeenth century.
When the neighbors saw John staggering to his home with a bucketful of
coins they became considerably interested. In his haste Rezac had spilled a
number of the coins. There ensued a scurry for them. In an hour practically
the entire population was on their hands and knees, digging Into the soft soil
with their finger nails for the burled treasure. Nearly everybody was re
warded with some coins.
At midnight, by the light of lanterns, eome of the hardier of the treasure
seekers, scorning the rumored ghost of the shack, were hard at work.
But John Rezac was not there.
He reads the newspapers and knows about bank holdups and such doings.
So he was sitting up with a sawed-off shotgun.
HOW AUSTRIANS
WERE FOOLED
BY AMERICANS
BILLINGS, Mont., June 19 (by As
sociated Press). — How American
forces in Italy at the cost of incessant
; marching and counter-marching, gave
the Austrians opposing them the im
pression of a hundred times their
actual number, was described by Rev.
F. O. Kelley, chaplain of the 332nd in
fantry upon his return home here re
cently.
American forces numbering less
than 5,000 men, according to Chaplain
Kelley, were estimated by Austrian in
telligence officers as 500,000 men.
From a base, the men would be march
ed to a spot within sight of an Austrian
observation balloon, and as soon as
darkness fell, would be marched
quietly back to the base. Next morn
ing they would move conspicuously to
another camp, only to return toj their
base the next night. One the
‘ troops would wear their service hats
of felt, the next their overseas caps
and the next their steel helmets, in
order to give the appearance of dif
ferent detachments.
“We marched on an average of 20
miles a day for 15 days with full
packs,” said Chaplain Kelley. “It cer
tainly became monotonous, and we
were forced to the conclusion after a
while that our staff officers were hope
lessly mixed In their orders. The
troops were not hauled either way, for
it was desired that they spread out and
look as numerous as possible in the
■ day time, and at night the motor lor
ries were all used for transporting
supplies.
“After the big drive started last
October we captured among thousands
of other prisoners, an Austrian general
staff officer. Questioned by our intel
ligence department, he said the lowest
estimate of the Austrian intelligence
department was that there were 500,
000 Americans in Italy.”
TEACHERS NOT ANXIOUS
! TO COME TO ALASKA
Teachers for schools In Alaska are
not as easily secured this year as In
the past, according to L. D. Hender
son, territorial commissioner, of edu
cation and his assistant, Miss Mar
garet Scott, who are endeavoring to
fill several calls for teachers in
Alaskan schools for the coming school
year.
This, Mr. Henderson explained, Is
due to the fact that salaries paid In
Alaska to school teachers are no
longer as attractive as heretofore.
During the past year or so, a nation
wide movement has effected a general
raise In teachers’ salaries. This, to
gether with the shortage of teachers,
which still exists In the States, has
caused fewer applicants to apply for
positions In Alaska.
However, Mr. Henderson said that
he believed that he would be able to
fill the vacant positions in the school
faculties in Alaska without much
difficulty.
Heretofore school boards in Alaska
have been always flooded with appli
cations for teachers from every part
of the United States.
