STATE BOARD OF CHILD AND AMI
NAL PROTECTION ASKS FOR
CONTRIBUTIONS.

Denver-The situation in some Of
the districts Of the eastern part OF
the state, where the snowfall has been
very heavy and last years crop was
not sufficient to furnish feed for the
stock through the winter is recognised
by the State Board Of Child and AMI
NAL Protection as one requiring quick
and adequate relief or the suffering
among the people and their stock VIII
be very great. The board has issued
an appeal for funds to be used in the
way Of loans to tide these settlers
over for few months and enable
them to buy food for themselves and
sustain their stock in a proper conAi-
ton for the spring work OF culdva-
ton The appeal is az follows:
To the Citizens of Colorado:
A condition of extreme destitution
and famine exists among the recent
settlers in three or four counties In
this state. Owing to the lack Of rain
fall during the past two years, to the
newness and unbroken condition OF
their claims and to the extraordinary
severity of the winter, the worst ON
the plains in thirty years, these poo
pie and their children, with their
horses and cows, are in many cases
literally starving.
Their gaunt horses cannot drag
plow from weakness. Their cows
give no milk, and unless help is given
them within the next few days both
horses and COWS will die.
Moreover, although the heavy snow
fall makes a bountiful crop certain.
they have no seed.
These men, their wives and children
hor - Ashf 70 q r q
homes; they must be helped, their
their crop sowed. Common humanity
demands that much.
They are good citizens. Industrious
and law-abiding. It will be incred-
IDLY short-sighted and foolish for the
people Of this state to let them fail
Just now when their success II at
hand. They do not want charity, but
only to be helped till they can repay
with their summers crop.
Accordingly, the State Bureau OF
Child and Animal Protection asks
subscriptions for them, to be sent to
its office and guarantees to see that
without any cost the fund so raised
will be used to provide food. feed and
seed under the investigation and su-
pervision of its officers, and that
notes without interest for all that is
advanced will be obtained payable
when their crops are sold.
We earnestly ask that all who de-
sire to aid these most deserving fam
lilies send their subscriptions to this
bureau at once. No time can be lost.
Flowing should begin as soon as the
starved horses can be fed and gain
little strength.
No matter how small the amount 1t
can be used. A few dollars will feed
family for a week; 81 will feed
COW and 81 a horse for week; 81
will buy seed wheat for an acre.
The names of all subscribers will
be furnished to the daily press from
day to day, together with the use made
Of their subscriptions.

SANG FOR 81 YEARS IN CHOIR
Pennsylvania soIoist Said to Hold
Record for Continuous Service
At Ono Church.

Shippensburg, Pa-What is prob
ably the worlds record as a public
singer Is held by Mrs. George ".
Johnston, who for more than 62 years
has been soloist in the Presbyterian
church here.
As Abigail Rankin she entered tho
Presbyterian choir in 1849, when she
was twelve years old. The choir was
directed by George Reynolds, and Miss
Rankin was asked to play the cabi-
net organ. the church's sole musical
instrument. Accompanying the choir
and herself as soloist. she played the
organ for several years.
She has travelled a distance Of more
than 10000 miles in merely going to
and from her choir rehearsals and
church services, while the actual time
she has spent in a choir seat would
amount to the equivalent Of one year
and a half. or In the neighborhood
Of $4,000 hours, and this does not take
into account her singing at Sunday
school. prayer meeting or missionary
society meetings.
Mrs. Johnston's voice is as sweet
and clear today as it was three score
years ago. She is q member Of the
local woman's musical club, where
Just lately she has sung several solos
written by modern French writer's.
When asked what particular hymn or
especial church musical number she
liked best. Mrs. Johnston said. "Oh.
couldn't tell you! I love them ALL"

in which Mrs. Johnston sings is Miss
