Good Abb for the Bee.

That bees injure fruit is a common
belief in some quarters, but investiga-
tions recently carried out In Italy
prove 1t to be without foundation.
Bees cannot perforate the skin OF
fruit, and the damage attributed to
them IL really due to birds, wind, hail,
hornets. wasps and certain other in
sects. Bees are, In fact, of much bene-
fit to the orchardist, because they eff

Charles Evans Hughes says about
these starving and dying people
Probably at no time in the history OF
the world have there been SO many
fatherless and motherless as there are
today. Hundreds of thousands in Ar
menia, Syria, Caucasus, Persia. Meso-
potamia and Palestine are not only
without parents but are without any
strong parental government to give
them help and protection which or
phan children of other lands enjoy. but
out Of the horror and nightmare thru
which these people have passed comes
the gratifying word that we can be Of
assistance. that we can share with
these orphan children the bounty
which we as Americans have enjoyed
their appeal"
A national campaign for thirty mil
lion dollars will be put on Jan. II,
1919. and all good. true. loyal an" SYM
pathetic Americans are asked 10 give
freely to these destitute people in the
near East.
France, Belgium and Italy can all be
helped by governmental aid. but the
dying Christians in this devastated
land have no government thru which
governmental aid can come. The priv.
ilege and task belongs to America.
Every dollar subscribed goes to tho
relief work-not one penny goes for
expense All funds are distributed
thru United States consuls or Amer
lean agencies and all moneys are
cabled thru the Department of State.
Ex-Presfdent VIM. Howard Taft
says: "Now why the need Of money
for Armenia? Who are the Ar
menians? They are one of the oldest
Christian people in the world They
lived in a province that lies north OF
Mesopotamia, east of Asia Minor. west
of Persia and south Of the Black sea.
-. One million eight hundred thou
sans Armenians lived in that country,
cultivating the valleys and making
them blossom like the rose.' The
Turks hated them because they were
Industrious and enjoyed the prosperity
that comes from industry.
Later when Turkey entered the
great European war as the ally Of
Germany she invited German officers
into her army. Her army was shortly
differed by German officers who di-
rected the army to go into Armenia
and deport 100000 Armenians. which
they did. Six hundred thousand es-
capped, the other 100000 were driven
by the army into the desert-and in
the drive the army deliberately killed
men, women and children, by rifle
ball, by bayonet. by knife. by driving
them over precipices, by driving them
into deep running rivers. Out Of
those deported nearly 100000 died of
starvation. Then Germany turned
them over to Turkey; Turkey proceed
ed to attend to the Armenians In that
kindly fatherly way! That is the
story"
There are now over 100000 Of
starving people in the near East that
must be fed by America or they die.
