The rainfall in the Mimbres Valley Is slight,

country The most enlightened and
public spirited Chinese are banded to-

to be actively enlisted In carrying out
the famine relief measures planned

This is of especial interest in the
United States because the relief funds

will he largely used in employing the
famine sufferers to reconstruct their
own dykes and roads which have been
