WHITING NEWS
Tag Day Is Nigh.

lag Day Is Nigh.
The first tag day" to be given in |
Whiting Is close at hand. Perhaps you
don't realize it, but 1t actually is. II
you meet a young woman in the morn
Ing, who offers you a small round bit
of pasteboard and even offers to attach
1t to your button-hole, don't be fright
ened or unduly elated. Just produce
small bit of change you may happen
to have about your person and repeat
the quotation you once learned about
sweet charity"
| The tag day committee refuse to
divulge the color of the tag. and also
whether 1t will be round or not, but any
kind of tag goes, and as its all for
charity it is really worth the while.
Thirty girls in Whiting have been
chosen to do the work and each cam
paigner will wear badge bearing the
name of the Whiting Relief and Aid So
ciety. and will carry sealed box, with
an opening large enough for silver
dollar to slip through.
AS each giver makes his contribu-
ton he will receive the much-talked-of
tag, which on one side will have the
name of the Relief and Aid society,
and the other side will bear the inscrip.
of the sick and destitute"
The tagging will continue through
out the day, and as late in the evening
as it is thought there will be any one
on the street.
On Friday night the boxes will be
placed in the vault of the First Ma
, tional bakn. Saturday morning COM
mittee, with Mrs. william E. Warwick
, as chairman, will gather in the direc-
tors room of the bank and count the
funds.
It Is hoped that neat sum will be
realized. but as 1t happens to be pay
day it is almost a certainty.
