Band Concert Helped the Ladies in
Evening-Proved Success From
Every Point of View.

Tag day, as conducted by the Asso-
ciated Charities and the Kings Daugh-
tiers in Rock Island Saturday, was a
success from every point of view. APP
proximately $500 was collected for
charity, and this amount may be great
ly increased when reports are received
from all the workers. Mrs. w. H.
Whistler and Mrs. Mary Montgomery,
chairmen of the Associated Charities
and the Kings Daughters, respective
ly. with corps of workers, were on
the streets early and late selling tags
Very few escaped being tagged for
every victim was pretty sure to see to
it that his friends were tagged also.
The ladies are much pleased with the
results of their work and with the
manner in which every one responded
to their requests for charity. Had
there been more workers available the
proceeds would undoubtedly have been
considerably larger.
Busy In the Evening.
In the evening there was a concert
in Spencer square by the Rock Island
Military band, and this attracted
scores of people in addition to the I'M
usually large throng of Saturday ev.
ening shoppers. The down town streets
were swarmed with people, and the
ladies made good use of the opportuni
| ty to sell the little cards. They took
stations at the different corners and
near the large stores, and successfully
presented their cause to those who
passed.
| The tag selling continued until late
at night, the ladies being undaunted
by the threatening state of the
weather.
Tag day proved one of the most sat
isfactory and successful methods We,
tried to secure contributions for char
ity in the city.
