 ID HAVE PROCEEDS
Tag Day Next Friday At Fair For the Benefit of
 Worthy Cause.

Final arrangements for the big taA day were made yesterday at a meet ing of the subcommittee of 25 at the Hotel Adams in the afternoon and at night session of the executive com mittee.
 n Tag day will be next Friday. It vii be the big day at the fair as it is jus. announced that the business houses will close on taat day and everybods in Arizona including some from else where will attend the fair. The price of the tags will be ten cents, which however, is not designed to limit any. one to that sum spent in the name of sweet charity. Each tag will bear the words I'm tagged for charity. Are you?" Forty thousand of these tags will be ready for distribution Tuesday morning. The will be given to the workers at g a. m Tuesday from the office of Dwight B. Heard. Three hundred little banks, one of wAicn leach worker will carry, have been loaned by the National Bank of Ari- zona and the Bank of Tempe Other banks in the city offered the loan of their little savings receptacles but all offers could not be accepted. Each bank will hold s10 in dimes.
 The banks will probably be given out Friday morning and are to be re- turned to the committee Friday night when the contents will be counted ana the prizes awarded to those who have collected the largest amounts.
 Although the tag day movement has just started, already three prizes have xxff. e. &E.zx sN-z most money for charity. The first prize will be SIC worth of merchan- disc purchased at the Goldwater store; presented by Barry Goldwater. Sec ond and third prizes of s6 and $4, presented by Dwight B. Heard. The headquarters for the movement will be the office of Dwight B. Heard. Center and Adams streets. Mrs. Heard will probably be there all tag day for furnishing additional tags and banks. There will also be Headquarters at the fair grounds which will be in charge of Mrs. B. A. Fowler.
 For the benefit of the benighted in dividual who may not yet have heard about tag day the following explana- tion is offered. It is very simple You start down town in the morning and maybe you get about a square away from the house when you meet bevy of pretty girls-an of them who examine you with critical eye. Then one of them-without so much as a How Dye Dor" fastens tag to the lapel of your coat That will set you back ten cents and the money goes into the little bank the girl car Nf Tfas,t lav rf-4Ii be unmolested if you continue to wear the tag. You will get used to the tag when you see everybody else wearing them and finally become proud of 1t and buy another with which to decorate the other side of your coat
 Then you get the fever and perhaps are not satisfied till the whole front of your coat is covered with them and you have to stick a few in your hat But don't feel ti-nid about it. You will not be conspicuous. The only way you can make yourself conspicuous on tag | day is not to wear any. Then indeed | life will be made burden to you and | you will feel like sick cat looking for a place to lie down.
 While it only costs ten cents to be
 in the swim tag day and to guarantee
 protection against the pretty girls that
 will be found on every corner, there | Is no limit to the number one may
 purchase. For one day the tags will
 be legal tender in Phoenix Some oi
 the merchants will buy them by tho stack, stamp the firm name on the
 back and give them away with taeil compliments. The associated Charities gets the money just the same. This has been done in other cities where tag day was inaugurated. In Los An lgeIes James J. Jeffries, one time
 champion heavyweight, but now pro lprietor of a cafe, purchased 5000 oi the tags, printed his name on the bacl
 and gave them away. Many mer
 chants did the same and before tas day was over the Associated Charitie:
 in Los Angeles saw little ray of sun light ahesgd, for the proceed: amounted 10 nearly sS,000
