Tagging For the Band Resulted in $50 Collection.

The band was very much pleased with the result of the tagging campaign for funds Wednesday night and after all sources of collection had reported it was found that SSO had been secured. For the most part the greatest cheerfulness was exhibited by the givers, who realize that they have shared in the enjoyment of the good mu&ic for a long time without contributing and were really glad of the chance. There were some, however, who refused to give, perhaps because they did not have it. If any of these wish to contribute at any future time, they may hand the money to Don Beam or give it to any member of the band on concert night. The total pledges from businessmen is $330 for the concert season. The city council also appropriates $l5O, making a total of S4BO, which is not sufficient to provide for the expense. The treasury was depleted when it was decided to employ the tagging method of collection and the stress was relieved. The band boys wish to thank all who gave and to invite every person to come and bring their friends to the concerts which are held every Wednesday evening; also to the religions concerts held on Sunday evenings at the vesper service.
