LIBRARY TAG DAY CHOSEN
Popular Method OF Raising Funds
VIII Be Adopted Again.

Saturday, September 9, the closing
day of the harvest festival and carni-
val, has been named as the annual
tag-day of the Dallas public library.
On that date the public will be given
an opportunity to contribute to the
support of its most popular institution.
Dozens of winsome Dallas lassies will
be stationed at the various vantage
points about town, and everyone will
be asked to buy a tag-several tags
any number of tags-but at least one
tag. Prizes will be offered for the
largest sales and there will be spirited
rivalry among the fair saleswomen.
At the annual tag sales held here in
previous years the people have enter
ed heartily into the spirit of the oc-
casion, and it is believed that this
years proceeds will exceed anything
of the past. Practically all the money
required for the maintenance of the
library is obtained by the sale of tags.
No city in the state, in proportion to
its size, has a better or more carefully
conducted library than Dallas, and
buy tag" will be a popular slogan
The library board, consisting of j.
c. VanOrsdel, chairman; r. Il. Will
liams, Tracy Stats, Conrad Stafrin
Mrs. f. II. Morrison and Mrs. George
Gerlinger, held meeting in the libra
ry rooms Friday evening, and made
the preliminary arrangements for tag
day. A committee of general super
vision was appointed, of which Mrs.
Mark Hayter is chairman. She will be
assisted by Mrs. George L. Hawkins,
Mrs. u. S. Loughary, Mrs w. j.
Kaerth, and Mrs. w. V. Fuller. The
list of the sales committee will be an
nounced later.

DALLAS GUILD YEAR CLOSES
Twenty-Onc Families Aided and Nearly
600 Garments Distributed.

The Fl members of the local branch
of the Needlework Guild of America
recently met and wound up its affairs
for the year. Reports received showed
that q families had been aided by
the guild during the year. Nearly
500 new garments and pieces of
household linen were distributed, and
in addition several hundred second
hand garments were given out.
1t was decided at the meeting that
the canvass for new members and
new garments should begin within a
short time, in readiness for the sOcie-
ty's annual tea and exhibition of gar
ments, which is to be held October 20.
Each one of the 21 directors must
get 10 new members each of whom
will be expected to give two new gar
ments in pairs, and there must also
be one or more members in each
group who will make a cash donation.
This worthy charitable organization
has received liberal support from the
women and business men of the town,
and it is believed that another year
of great usefulness is at hand. The
Dallas branch has the distinction of
being the only one in the state out
side Of Portland.

"LIvELY BUNCH" CAKEWALKS
Jolly Dallasites Have Hilarious Even
ing Outing at Zeller Ranch.

The Lively Bunch" of this city,
not knowing how else to profitably
spend their time, hied themselves to
zeller's ranch last Saturday evening,
fully intent on having an extra good
time. After arriving at the grove,
which had been previously gotten
ready by ]. e. Miller and others, no
time was lost in hanging the Japanese
lanterns and hammocks and starting
a bonfire. Games were played and
solos, duets and quartets were sung
until about 1890 a. M, when several
of the weaker complained of being
hungry. A repast fit for king or any
Dallasite was quickly spread supple
mented by luscious water-melons.
AS a cake-walk contest was next
in order, a phonograph was started
W TIL appropriate music, and after
about one-half hour of strenuous
walking" or prancing, the prize was
f. w. Zeller. Miss Winifred Wing
easily took the prize as an imperson-
ator of Adeline Genee.
Not a dull moment was in evidence,
as the neighbors could testify, and all
agreed that the party capped the eli
max of the summers entertainments,
and as they wended their way home
ward the rising sun greeted them
warmly.
The "lively" ones present were: Mr..
and Mrs. ]. E. Miller, Mr.. and Mrs.
Willis Simonton, Mr.. and Mrs. f. G.
Wing, Mr.. and Mrs. f. w. Zeller, Miss
NJ. Shinnerss, Miss w. Wing, and Miss
B. Hansen, Mr.. Wayne Greenwood,
Mr. c. Burch, and Mr.. George Fuller.
