BOYS CLUB ASKS VOLUNTEERS
FOR TAG DAY


Mrs. w. l.. Murdoch sends the follow
ing urgent appeal for tag day workers:
1.-THE annual tag day for the Boys club
will be observed on Saturday, April 16,
In all cities where one and only one or
ganization has used this method of rails
ing funds 1t has met with great success.
1t gives everyone a chance TO do some
thing to help this very worthy cause.
1.-THE Boys club has no other resources
and expects a generous public to assist
In making tag day a success. In Atlanta
it is considered pleasure to help, and
hundreds of women and girls are on the
streets tagging, and over 5000 year is
gathered In, very few giving large sums.
In order to make a success of tag
day 1t is essential to have a very large
number of workers. and the ladies of the
board of control wish to ask every wom-
an and young girl in the city who Is WILL
ing to give a part of that one day to help
this very worthy charity to let 1t be
known at once.
only a few hours of work is all they
ask. There is nothing disagreeable about
it--far from tit is really good time
VIII everyone who will help send name
and address to superintendent, Mr.. M
Willows, 2o24A Third avenue, or to the
secretary, Mrs w. L. Murdoch. There
ought to be 500 women and girls who will
gladly give a half day of their time to
help the street boys OF this city. VIII,
not Birmingham women be as loyal as
Atlanta women. and let's make tag day,
1910, memorable one"
