AMENA, LITTLE ARMENIAN ORPHAN,
WAITS, BUT "MOTHER" WON'T RETURN

Amena, one of the 100000 orphans
in the Near East, was wandering in
the streets of her ruined city, in tat
tered clothing, and whimpering-s
had not strength to cry-from hun
ger, when she was picked up by a
relief worker.
J Now Amena-the smallest girl in
the above illustration-has been
placed in one of the orphanges being
put up for the thousands of father
less, motherless, friendless children,
by the American Committee for Re-
Lief in the Near East.
Waits for "ReaIly" Mother.
When Amena reached the orphan
asylum, she was placed In charge of
the little girl who Is shown mother
ing her.-but it is evident from the
look Of longing in Amena's eyes that
her hurt little heart is longing to be
pressed against that of her really"
mother. But the really" mother,
as Amena calls her in her Armenian
baby language, is buried in the
desert, victim of the Turks ambi.
ton to kill by starvation the entire
Armenian people, or, failing that,
exile them forever from their beauti-
ful and ancient native land.
Some day, Amena will be told that
her mother Is dead; now she is al
lowed to hope, for fear that her heart
will be broken, If additional weight Of
sorrow is placed upon it.

The purpose OF these meetings is to

coming season. Probably two OF the
most important problems to be discuss.
ed. is that Of rural telephone and a
farmers warehouse. These problems
should interest every farmer who has
anything to dispose Of. 1t is hoped
that every farmer will make special
effort to attend all of these meetings,

plan to get rural telephones In this
county II this organization accomp-
lishes no other thing during 1919 1t

penditme that has been made 10 keep

badly In Curry County and possibly no
pther one thing would add more to
the convenience and profit, as well as
pleasure Of the farmer and his family
than this one improvement to rural
conditions Here's hoping that the
Farm Bureau Is able to get the co
operation that will help put the tele'
phone movement over. The rural tele'
phone marches hand II hand with
good schools and churches in the de
vclopmcnt Of the country.

per cent while taxpayers n certain
districts in other counties pay from
two and half per cent to three per

four per cent
