B w F EVERY house in Cordova had a cistern, and all the g
I water in Cordova was in those cisterns, scattered over the gj

1 Very little indeed, but if all that water was in one large |g
reservoir properly piped it would be of Immense value as gjj

g: In the same way if every person in Cordova had a hundred gjj
jj or a thousand dollars in his pocket, of what use is it in pro- g
B moting business in Cordova? Very little if at all, but if it is g
I" all deposited in the banks of Cordova a fund is created of suf- jj
ficient amount to be of very great value in developing the busi- j§|

WORLD WIDE
GENEROSITY
DURING WAR
NEW YORK, June 25 (by Associa
ted Press).—Indication of the world
wide generosity awakened by the war
is given by preliminary reports of the
British and American Red Cross,
Young Men’s Christian Association,
the Order of St. John of Jerusalem arid
similar organizations which during
the past four years, have done service
in alleviating distress and which are
now taking part in the work of recon
struction.
A recent issue of London Truth, in
commenting on the record of $75,
000,000 war contributions to the Red
Cross by the British people during the
• period from 1915 to 1918, inclusive,
says "this must easily be a record col
lection for charitable purposes.'' Ad
mitting that the amount does not equal
that raised for the American Red
Cross, the Truth observes that "the
general total of voluntary giving for
war purposes in England must have
been something without precedent in
that country’s history.”
The British people, It is pointed
out, were lavish in their private bene
factions, no record of which was kept.
The first two years of the war. for in
stance, it is said, individual Britons
fed and clothed more than 300,000 Bel
gian refugees and Belgian relief was
only one of a wide diversity of objects
which included the rehabilitation of
crippled soldiers, the Blue Cross for
War Horses and numerous other
charities. An interesting feature of
the work of the British Red Cross,
shown in the preliminary figures, is
the low cost of administration. In
1915, this cost was less than three
per cent and it fell progressively until,
in 1918, it was about one and one
quarter per cent.
Contributions to the American Red
Cross from the date of the entry of
the United States into the wat1, on
April 6, 1917 to the present are roughly
estimated at about $350,000,000. This
amount was raised mainly in t\to do
nation “drives” which brought in
$106,000,000 and $180,000,000 respect
ively and two membership "drirfes" in
which 42,000,000 membership signa
tures with a minimum of onoife&aUar
each (many were for much larger
sums) were obtained.
The cost of administration, it was
stated by an official of the Atlantic
division, was entirely defrayed by the
Red Cross membership subscriptions
and for every dollar contributed $1.02
was made available for actual relief by
reason of J>ank interest. L. J. Hunter,
comptroller of the American Red
Cross in Washington, is now at work
on receipts and expenditures, it is said,
and is expected to make an official
report in June.
Many millions of dollars already had
been raised for the Young Men’s Chris
tian Association, Knights of Columbus,
Jewish Welfare Board, War Camp
Community Service, American Library
Association, Young Women’s Christian
Association and the Salvation Army
when the "United War Work Drive”
was undertaken last winter. The sub
scriptions aggregated more than $200,
000,000.
Vast sums were raised in France,
Italy, Japan, Russia and other coun
tries, including neutral powers for
“the amelioration of human want and
woe.” When all' the figures are com
piled a charities statistician esti
mates, it will be shown that the most
devastating war of history unloosed
mankind’s pursestrings in the most re
markable and prodigal manner.
MEXICO MAY RESTRICT
CHINESE IMMMIGRATION
MEXICO CITY, June 25 (by Asso
elated Press).—As a result of reports
that large numbers of Chinese are ar
riving in Mexico, most of them' in a
bad state of health and without money,
it is said that a bill will be presented
in congress soon urging that such
Asiatic Immigration be restricted. It
is feared the Chinese will enter into
direct competition with Mexican labor
and eventually force down the wage
scale.
A treaty exists between Mexico and
China whereby mutual immigration is
unrestricted but, according to the
newspaper Excelsior, the situation is
so "alarming” that legislative action
is probable.
