Today is the day Board of Trade
Tag day.
Although the representations of the
I,oited States Weather bureau wera
hi dubious Friday, the doleful word;,
.pain tonight and Saturday" being the
,erdiet. yet preparations were resell
,,s,, carried forward all day for Board
4 n Trade Tag" day today.
From Chairman NOyes down to the
vouDgest little miss who will wear the
rreen ribbon of an aide all day today
and who will distribute tags, fasten-
inp them to young and old, and receiv-
inp therefore the glittering coin or the
sllky long green everyone was full
~ pleasureable expectations AMI
brightest hopes.
A few tags, most of them of small
denomination. it is true, were seen on
the street during the day, as it was the
p0licy of those at the head of the en-
terprise to start early One reason
little practice might not be amisss.
1 md another reason was that it was
felt that start should be made in the
f,yent of unfavOrable weather today.
II Is certainly going to be d success,
this Tag" day. Everybody fells it in
their bones. Give. give and give
! literally is to be the motto. When
the young lady solicitor or the more
dignfed vice director calls upon you,
: acknowledge the lack of a tag by ex-
lending to her coin of large dimen-
lions, or more acceptably crisp bill.
Only few of the vice directors re-
ported their organization Friday even
hg the following returns having been
