COLORADO HoMEsTEADERs, MEN
WOMEN AND CHILDREN
LITERALLY STARVING.
N U ST HAVE HELP
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 recognized
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 will
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 a few months and enable
them to buy food for themselves and
sustain their stock in a proper condt-
ton for the spring work of cultiva-
ton. The appeal is as follows:
To the Citizens of Colorado:
A condition of extreme restitution
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 peo-
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 bountiful crop certain,
they have no seed.
These men, their wives and children
have endured great hardships to make
homes; they must be helped. their
children fed. their stock saved and
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 10 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 SUI
pervision Of its officers. and that
| notes without interest for all that ia
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 a
little strength.
No matter how small the amount it
can be used. A few dollars will feed
family for a week; 81 will feed a
COW and 50 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.

convinced me that paper bag cooking
was one OF the things that cost more
than they come to. For l set myself
this sum. Bags, plus greasins. plus
clips. equal the cost Of many sauce

hasten the cooking or better the fla

forthrightly. but ended by conces-
