II was not 40 much the amount 81

counted for more than everything

TtG--yOu'RE IT.
Somehow the movement for tag day
slipped q cog. II was planned for
next Tuesday, With committee in
charge Of Miss Virginia Carr and Miss
Gladya Mnndell. that bndc fair to ex-
tract every reluctant dime from the
rcmotest corner OF every pocket. u
looked TO me like the one best bet In
the way Of a noncy-Rettlng PROPOSE
ti0n.
However, somebody suggested that.
as the teachers would DO In town on
Tuesday. and az we are all expected
20 play the host during their stay here
Il would not be IN good taste To throw
out a drngnot for money under such
circumstances, and 50 tag dav went
over until Saturday. Personally,
can't SEQ the force Of the argument
II isn't as II We we're asking them 10
MORTGAGE the farm and sell The grand
fathcr clock. IT'S just u matter OF
iimmylng anywhere from dime 10
dollar ont of everybody that hap
pens along; and the fact that there
will be moro people In town to give
seems to mo to be rather nm argument
In favor OF tag dny than against It.
There's a story also 10 the effect
that II hasn't been exactly decided
whether the proceeds of tag day
should 90 to tho starving Belgians or
The starving Albuqncrqucans a lot
Of folks have the idea that II Isn't
necessary TO 10 rs far away as Hel-
gium to find Il way to spend money
for the relief of human suffering, and
there Is likely 10 be some talk or
this branch OF the subject before tag
day finally comes off.
NY own observation on such mat
tcrs Is that there's always n lot of
suffering In almost every quarter, and
" doesn't make such an awful differ

object OF IL near or remote.
I'm in favor of tag day on general
principles l like To see EN- be made TO
como across whether they want TO or
not and that's what happens on agday.
My own advice Is 20 SO ahead and
have tag day, and after the money Is
on hand hold caucus and decide bs
a majority vote what will be done
with the proceeds.
