of corn.
The full quota for Indiana is 200 car
loads. Hamilton county is asked to
furnish three car loads of this amount.
Some of the counties that have been
organized for a few days have their full
quota almost in sight.
The Near East Relief Organization
■was chartered by Congress and is endorsed by President Harding, General
Leonard Wood, Secretary of Commerce
Mr. Herbert Hoover, also by the National and State Farmer's Bureaus and by
many others.
The appeal at this time is being made
to the farmers for corn as ^there is an
abundance of this cereal and the price
per bushel, is alarmingly low, Never-
less it Is just as valuable to starving
children as though it were bringing two
dollars on the market. One bushel o*
corn as it is today will feed just as
if it were worth five or six times as
much.
These little ones do uot ask for a
variety of eatables they are only looking
to America for enough feed of any kind
or grade to keep them alive.

Mr. Eullarton L. Waldo of the editorial staff of the Public Ledger of Philadelphia who has just come back from
Armenia, writes this;
UA few weeks ago, in the Erivan plain
of Armemia, I saw a little boy who had
no parents, no friends, no home, noth
ing but the open streets of a mud village
and a wall to lean upon and a pile of
strBw to share at night with dogs. I saw
him standing, heedless of the red dust
cloud, his head against the wall. His
only garment was a ragged piece of meal
bag.
His stomach protruded to three time
the normal size, swollem with the day
and the grass he had stuffed into it to
satisfy the gnawing of his everlasting
hunger.
In one hand he held three watermelon
seeds, and with the other he feebly
plucked at them to extract a meagre and
miserable uourishmont, All of the hopelessness of Asia Minor was in that desolate little figure.
Had he been the only oue, he might
not have seemed so dreadful, but in this
small hamlet were ten or twelve like
him. In the countryside round about
wore thousauds

Card of Thanks
We wish to thank our friends and
neighbors  for  their kindness  during
the   long  illness   and   death   of   our
in a similar appalling  brother,  James  Milton   Smith.    Also
state. I was told he had been a waif
for two year; two years of mud and dust
of rain and hail; of running sores upon
his head and body and of inseets that
fed upon them, I saw him wave at
them a hand too weak to drive them
away," What shall we do with him
and the other tens of thousands who
are motherless and fatherless, sick and
starving in a country blasted and left
dead by war.
The farmers of Hamilton county, although they have been hit hard in recent months, will most assuredly arise
en masse am; help in this time of dire
need. If each one w 11 just do his bit
without stinting himself, the sum total
will be all that could t>2 desired.
It has been sugested that the five following townships each give at least 400
bushels, uamely Adams, Jackson, White
River. Washington and Noblesville.
The other four townships, Wayne,Clay,
Delaware and Fall Creek coutribute 800
bushels eaeh. This can easily be done
if all will join in the movement.
The plan is this;   December  1st,  2d
and 3rd have be ?n set apart  as speohl
days when the corn is  to be taken   to
the elevators, where the farmer will receive s receipt for the amount brought.
The elevators will  handle the corn
tree of charge and a large number of
the railroads have promised free transportation of the cars when enough corn
baa been assembled for a load.    The
^Hl men have given the assurance that
corn flour and corn grits oan be shipped
t0 any part of ' the world  with safety.
Hamilton county never does lag behind
in a worthy enterprise and she will undoubtedly do her sharo in this present
appeal.
Rev. Smith and the undertakers for
their service.

. (Extracts from address given by Elwood C. Perisho before Social Science
Club, Aberdeen, South Dakota, November, 1921).
November 11th now ranks with the
few great days of the World's history.
To the Allies and associated nations,
it marks the day of victory.
To every American, it means the
day when our Army of 4,000,000 realized how by their held the War had
been won. To every soldier whether
he went to Europe or faithfully trained in the camps in America, comes a
thrill of pride for his part in the
triumph of Democracy over autocracy
in the most titanic struggle known
to history. To the men of the A. E.
F., especially those who fought at
San Mihiel, .Bellieu Wood, Chateau
Thierry, the Argonne Front, and on
any of the* other -battle; fields, to
these November 11th, 1918 will always be a day of sacred memories.
To men everywhere it marks the end
of the world's greatest war, but it
did not come until 10,000,000 men
had been sacrificed, until 10,000,000
more had been crippled. It did not
come until the nations had spent
$300,000,000,000 in money and had
lost $200,000,000,000 in property.
All this was the price paid for the
crushing of Autocracy and the unjust
ambitions of the Central Powers, to
say nothing of the sorrow of parents,
the anguish of widows, the shattered
hopes and blighed ambitions of the
men who fell in the strift or who
came home crippled for life.
It is always the duty of the Nation
to care for the soldiers who have
fought her battles. It is a shame for
any political party, in or out of power
to neglect the men who risked their
lives for the, cause their country espoused. "Whatever calls there may
be for national funds, the first obligation of the Republic is to give the
100,000 young men who returned suffering from shot or shell, gas or tuberculosis, 'an excellent vocational
training and medical care.
November 11th is now the day of
great hope and promise not only to
America but to the World. The calling of the great internatianal conference on the Limitation of Armament
is an act of historical significance
and it gives the United States a coved opportunity for leadership which
it has accepted eager again to be of
service to the other nations. Such
an opportunity may not come again
in 100 years.
When we stop to consider that in
the last few years the amount required to finance the nation has increased from $500,000,000 to $5,500,-
000,000 and that hte Federal taxes of
the American people this year will be
between $4,000,000,000 and $5,000,-
000,000, any action which may lead to
a reduction in taxation is of vital importance.
Of last year's taxes—
1% was spent for education, public
health and research.
3% for internal improvements.
3% for the executive, legislative
and judicial branches of our government.
92% for Military purposes.
To every patriot who loves liberty
and believes in Democracy, to every
citizen who longs for justice and for
good will among men, comes this
challenge to lessen the burden of taxation.
We can not reduce the amount we
are spending for education, internal
improvements and for the maintenance of the three great departments
of our nation. The reduction must
come from the 9~2% spent for Military  purposes.
The importance of this Conference
called by President Harding when it
is realized that practically all > the
leading nations of the earth are
spending 90% of their taxes for wars
past and future. What an achievement it would be if this Conference
should lift the millstone of taxation
off the necks of the American people
and relieve the other nations of the
excessive burdens they are now carrying.

LETTER FROM LOS ANGELES
To the Editor of the Carmel Standard:
Ten years ago this December. I had
a letter in the Carmel Standard, stating that there was a big crop of
oranges and lemons for that year,
probably reaching forty thousand car
loads for the entire State, I have
just been looking over the report of
the California Fruit Grower's Ex}.,
change ,and find that the total car
loads of oranges and grapefruit shipped from the state tue past year, ending October 31st, was 48,350 and 11,-
797 cars of lemons. Out of this vast
amount southern California shipped
43, 592 cars of oranges and lemons.
To sit up and read figures is about
as interesting as digging potatoes in
a briar patch, but I feel quite sure
many Indiana farmers will be glad
to know what their sons and cousins
are doing in this part of the world.
The best part of the story is, Cali-
fimia growers received this season
for the entire citrus crop $83,537,344-
22. From careful investigation it is
believed the retail dealers paid $145,-
855,046, for the crop, and the consumers paid $203,642,100. The California Fruit Exchange seems to be doing business on a very sound basis.
During the past eighteen years California has shipped through the Ex-
chane fruit to the value of four hundred and forty-three millions of dollars, and the losses have been only
$12,345, or 3-1000 of one per cent.
Government reports show that approximately 230,000 acres in California are devoted to the raising of oranges and lemons. Of this vast acreage 87 per cent, is found in South-
era California. It all goes to. show
that many people were mistaken thirty years ago when coming out to this
country and predicted that its never
could be an orange country. Grapefruit, hte pomelo, a variety of the
shaddock, is one o fthe finest citrus
fruits grown in the United States.
The Century dictionary says that it
is now grown successfully in Florida,
but this was twenty years ago. It is
grown here on hundreds of acres, and
in the Imperial Valley by the hundreds of car loads.
If I remember coi'rectly an Indianapolis man, the Rev. J. C. Fletcher,
had much to do with the introduction
of the Washington Naval orange,
along about 1873, when he was Minister to Brazil, South America; and
the Valencia was brought to this
country from the Azores about the
same time. In to-days papers one can
see the Valencias quoted in the East
era markets at $4.00 to .$7,00 a box.
It is as profitable to grow as the
Washington Naval, %nd quite as good
every way. In the past few years I
have known a twenty acre orchard to
produce at least ten thousand dollars
worth each year, and this with ordinary good cultivation. It does not
seem necessary to have a farm of 500
acres to make a living.
