An Appeal for sunset Home.

Twelve years ago when Sunset Home
was incorporated and became one of the
institutions of our town it was Under
stood by our citizens that such Home
was needed. Experience has proved this
true. 1t is very desirable that our towns
people understand that the Home is not
fully endowed, and therefore has to make
its appeal for aid with more or less regu-
larity. Our people are many OF them
thoughtful and considerate in regard to
the Home. Some are regular doners,
contributing a fixed sum annually, either
to the endowment fund or for running
expenses; others are ready to help when
called upon for something special.
A brief statement is here made of the
financial condition and needs. Last year
the total income amounted to $671.74.
This included pledges, gifts, receipts from
entertainments, and interest on the per-
manent fund. The entire cost of mainte-
nance was 81 ,OO7 Is, of this $140 went
