TAG! YOU'RE II"
This Will Be the Slogan in To-
peka Tomorrow.
Mayor VIM. Green Issues For
NAL Proclamation.
TO START OUT EARLY
Two Hundred Taggers to Gather
at the Auditorium.
Each One VIII Wear the Official
Insignia.
TO START OUT EARLY

mayor William Green, ana the OIHCerS
of our city shall forthwith seize and
confine in the city dungeon until such
time as they shall by explanation or
contribution secure the token of favor
from these maids and matrons, all per-
sons found upon our streets after the
third hour of the afternoon of that day
without such token of favor conspicu-
ously displayed on their outer gar
ments,'' reads the official proclamation.
Every one of the two hundred or
more taggers is urged to be at the
Auditorium promptly at $50 O'Clock
tomorrow morning when Mayor Green
will deliver to them the keys of the
city. Autos and buggies will be on
hand to convey the jolly workers to
their respective stations and through
the residence districts. They will be
decorated with large four-foot ban
ners. You people who wish to fool the
merry taggers by avoiding the streets
will find that it is no use at all to at
tempt it, for an auto will drive gayly
up to your very door and a pretty
maiden will trip lightly up to your
threshold and ask with a smile that
you simply can't resist if she may
place tag on your door knob. She
will wear an official badge bearing the
inscription, |Tag-You're IT. Last
year it was found that some of the
small boys bought tags in the morning
for cent and resold them later for a
quarter, pocketing the coin.
A "Tag Day Special" a four page
paper issued by the Provident associa-
ton. is being cried on the streets this
afternoon. 1t gives the why's and
wherefores of Tag day, sets forth the
need for fresh air camp for con-
sumptives and tells of the work that
the Provident association in all its
branches has been accomplishing dur
ing the past six months.
The Topeka State bank will be head
quarters for the work tomorrow, Mrs.
Charles B. Thomas taking charge of a
bureau of information. The bank will
be kept open until a late hour when
all the returns will be made. The as
ISOLATION wishes it understood that
there is nothing compulsory about be-
ing tagged, and only the cheerful
giver" is expected to donate towards the
fund. A tag can be bought for cent
or for a dollar or hundred dollars as
far as that is concerned.
1t is hoped that tomorrow Will be a
red letter day for the association. The
tags are red and read on one side, eta g
Day-Provident Association" and on
the opposite side is this appropriate
verse:
Which Are You?
There. are two kinds of people on earth
today,
Just two kinds of people, no more. I say.
The two kinds of people on earth 1 mean,
Are the people who lift, and the people
who lean.
Wherever you go. you will find the earth $
masses,
Are always divided in just these two
classes.
And oddly enough. you will find too, I
ween,
There's only one litter to twenty who
lean.
In which class are you? Are you easing
the load,
OF overtaxed filters. who toll down the
road?'

following stations will have about six
assistants each. They are:
