Today Is tag day in Richmond. The
purpose Of the donations is to pay off
q debt of $4,000 incurred in the pur-
chase Of children's orphans home at
Hadley by the Childrens Home Society
OF Indiana The women of that Or

every city in the state until their pur-
pose is accomplished and the debt of
the institution is paid in full.
Miss Louise Timmonds of Portland
is in charge OF the local district and
has been In the city for the past few
weeks arranging for tag day in Rich
mond. The efforts OF the leaders have
been entirely successful, and the hear
ty cooperation of the members of the
local organizations was given them in
the movement. The cause is a worthy
one and everywhere the tags found
ready sale. No one was immune from
attack. Into stores, banks. business
houses, city hall offices, hotels, court
house and restaurants, the women and
girls went. pinning their tags on jani-
tors and office boys and all those in
cluded in that stream of humanity that
files into these places In the morning
and deserts them at night. 1t would
be impossible to hazard q guess as to
just how much was received in dona-
tions. However. Judging from the num-
ber of persons seen wearing the little
white tags. good round sum was Sc
cured and the workers are greatly en-
couraged at the willingness shown by
everyone to give to the cause OF char
ity.
The home at Hadley was purchased
by the society on March 10. at cost OF
$4,000. There are at present 65 chill
dren in the institution from all parts
of the state. Numerous improvements
have had to be made on the building,
which will run the total Indebtedness
up to about $4,000. The purpose OF
establishing this home is to do away
with the county orphanages in the
state and make one large institution
which will answer all needs.
