Today Is Tag Day? Have You Been Tagged?

Young ladjes are on the streets of Rensselaer today with Monnett pennants and canes which they are using as tags. Anyone giving some toward the fund of $60,000 which is to be raised, receives a Monnett pennant. The work of raising the $50,000 is increasing daily- Little attempt has been made as yet to raise money in Rensselaer and the immediate Vicinity, much of the past time having been confined tQ raising money from more distant points. The campaign in Rensselaer really started today. The people in charge of raisnig this hund have their headquarters the first door east of the Princess Theatre. There is no doubt but'that this institution is wanted by the citizens of Rensselaer, This effort to establish the institution, the only one of its kipd, is creating interest throughout the state, It is probable that a great amount of money will be raised during the holiday week? as practically all of the churches of the state arte expected to give something toward tho building of the school. Plans are feeing made for a whirlwind campaign to start immediately, after the holidays.
