kenosha Will Have a Tag Day.
Next Saturday to Get Funds
for a Public Play Ground
MANY WOMEN TO AID IN WORK
Every Man and Woman in the City Will
Be Given Chance to Boost Fund to
Provide Pleasure for the
Children Of the City

Nearly all Of the larger cities in Wis
consin and in fact the entire United
States have had their "Tag Day. and
Kenosha is going to get into the pro-
cession on next Saturday when "tag
day. is to be held by the women of
the city for the purpose of raising
funds for the equipment Of public play
grounds for the children Of the city.
Many of the leading women of the
city are being interested in the plans
for the day and it is pretty certain
that it will prove one Of the most
successful propositions of the kind
ever held in Kenosha.
The idea of a tag day is simply a
new plan to raise money for some
special purpose and the women Of Ke-
nosha could not have picked out a
more popular fund than the one to
equip play grounds for the children.
In this manner it is going to be posi-
BILE for every one in. the city to give
something to aid in this work and at
the same time no one will be asked to
contribute sum which is beyond his
Of her means. The public play ground
idea in Kenosha is one Of recent birth,
but even in a single year the women
who have been backing it have done
a. great deal and with goodly fund
for the coming year they hope to make
Kenosha notable for the play grounds
offered for it's children.
It is expected that hundreds Of the
best known women Of the city will be
interested in the work of tag day be-
fore the work is over and it is expected
that there will be enough of the fair
collectors to visit every place in the
city where men and women can be
found to make contribution to the
fund. The announcement Of the plans
for the day as made by the members
of the committee is as follows:
Tag Day, Saturday, Nov. IA.
The Committee for Public Play
Grounds met this afternoon to com
plete their plans for Kenosha Child
rem s Day. During an open discussion
of one Of the leading clubs of the city
lit was thought that public play grounds
were greatly needed for the children
of Kenosha The idea was taken up
and acted upon without delay. A
committee was appointed which imme-
diately went to see the Board Of Edu-
cation, asking permission for the use
of the school grounds for this purpose
until some more available location could
be found. The School Board gracious
Iy gave permission for the use of sew
eral Of the school yards of the city
To get funds for the equipment of the
grounds it was decided to make it q
public affair so that all could have the
4 pleasure of adding to the children Is
happiness. Saturday, Nov. IA, has been
set aside as Children's Day or Tag
Day, when every one in Kenosha will
be asked to take a tag. No price is
set upon the tags. Any one gives as he
or she sees fit. Young women will be
sent out to sell the tags in the business
districts, factories and residences on
Saturday afternoon and evening and il
is hoped every man and woman seen
on the streets of Kenosha will veal
the little tag The committee is work
ing hard to make Children s Day one
Of the annual celebrations in Kenosha
and asks the public to come forward
and help in making it a success.
