SALVATION ARMY TO
HAVE TAG DAY, TUESDAY

II you see Salvation Army lassle
in the midst OF the street crowds on
election day go right up to her and
drop ten cents in the little money
box, she will be holding, for Tuesday.
Nov. 8, besides being election day,
will be Salvation Army tag day.
Tag day Is TO be held all over the
United states, Nov. 5, for the pur-
pose OF raising money for Salvation
army training colleges as a memorial
to the late General william Booth. In
asking the interest and generosity OF
the public In this movement, Com
mander Evangeline c. Booth has sent
out from national army headquarters,
a statement reading In part az fol
lows:
For the present need the promot-
ers OF this scheme are asking for $780,
900. There are a good many men,
single-handed, who could well give
the entire sum required. However,
this Is not the plan, for General
Booth labored for and with the poor
and lest fortunate, and consequently
II is felt that this class will desire to
contribute; hence a national tag day
Is being arranged for Tuesday, Nov
8, when five million people will be
asked TO give ten cents each. The
balance will be made up by larger
sums"
