REPORT OF TAG DAY
Everybody Held out a Helping
Hand and the Ladies of the
: Federated Clubs Were Again
Successful in Their Great

Work.
The women of the City Federation
feel highly gratified over the success
of Tag Day.
seemed as if every detail of the
plan, worked out to the best possible
advantage for the society. The
weather was perfect, the taggers nu-
merous and enthusiastic, the Public
most generous and courteous.
The club women feel themselves
very deeply indebted to all our city
newspapers for their able advertise
ments and assistance in everyway. Also
our special thanks are due the pastors
and priests of our city, who SO kindly
talked the charity work of this associ-
tion from their pulpits.
Another great source of help was
the interest taken by our teachers in
the city schools. Their cooperation
was Invaluable, in spreading the neces
sary information to the homes of our
people. Almost every child in town
proudly wore his tag throughout the
day. Each school was ready with its
donation. The Irving and Emmer-
son sending between $500 and $40
each. The Lowell furnished 5000
and the Howe about S12 90. No
separate account was kept of the
Training, Catholic or Lincoln High
schools, as SO many of the older pupils
were tagged upon the street. But no
one can doubt it would have been a
very acceptable sum from each. The
South Side, Biron and Port Edwards
schools also sent fine donations. The
Federation is very much indebted to
S. Smart for the use of his building for
the entire day. 1t was truely an
"ideal" location for such an under
taking. To others, who so kindly fur
nished automobiles and carriages for
the club-women for the day our hearty
thanks are extended. 1t was this
spirit of helpfulness and interest,
shown by the general public, the bust
ness men, the banks, the men at the
mills and factories, the women and
even the children, which enabled the
association to solicit in one day the
sum of 100000. The entire expense of
the undertaking will be about SIS. 90
leaving balance of S585.00 or more
for the relief of our poor and sick in
this city.
Surely this cause appealed to every
good citizen in our town. And to
each and every person who helped to
make the day success, The City Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs tender
their sincere thanks.

You can cure dyspepsia, indiges-
tion, sour or weak stomach, or in fact
any form of stomach trouble if you
will take Kodol occasionally-just at
the times when you need it Kodol
does not have to be taken all the time.
Ordinarily you only take Kodol now
and then, because it completely di-
gests all the food you eat, and after a
few days or a weak or so, the stomach
can digest the food without the aid of
Kodol. Then yon don't need Kodol
any longer. Try it today on our
guarantee. We know what it will do
for you. Sold by Johnson, Hill & Co..

End of High School Secret So
cieties May Be in Sight.
Committee MAKES REPORT
Advises That the Principals Be
Placed in Control.
WILL KNOW ALL THE SECRETS
Organizations Accused of Being Re-
sponsible for Formation of
Cliques and Discrimination.

The end Of secret societies in the local
high schools is believed to be In sight.
Such organizations are to be placed under
the direct control of the principals of the
schools. This course, it is said, will elimi-
nate the secrecy feature of the societies,
and in the opinion of many of the pupils.
result in gradual decline in interest IN
the organizati tons.
That the societies are to be placed I'M
der the direct control of the principals of
the high schools became known today
when Supt. Stuart announced that he will
soon make public the report of the special
committee of principals, which has been
investigating the ''frats' for several
weeks.
Superintendent Declines to Explain.
While the superintendent declined to
discuss the question. he admitted that the
special committee advises that the soce-
ties be placed under the direction of the
principals.
When the plan is effective it is be-
lieved in the schools that the principals
will have the societies in hand. and will
know a great deal, If not all, of the
the principal Of the school aware Of the
secrets of the organization. it is pointed
out that the latter will be far from a
frat"
While the principals decline to discuss
the matter until the superintendent of
schools makes the report public. it is
understood several Of them feel sure that
before long frat" societies will be things
of the past or changed into debating Or
CARNATIONS.
Reasons for Investigation.
The reasons for the investigation of the
secret societies by the principals was the
fact that from time to time the students
have been banding together and holding
meetings. result being that cliques
have been built up in high schools.
Students not invited to become members
on many occasions when they have been
Sights have been traced directly to the
influence Of members of the secret socle-
ties. who included the names of fellow
outside the organizations.
Result in Discrimination.
While such societies exist without
knowledge of the working plans vest
ed in the principals. it is pointed out
that 1t is next to impossible for the OH
Gals to prevent some pupils being dis
eliminated against by the organizations.
With the new plan in existence it is be-.
lieved that much friction will be avoided
and better feeling exist.
