A statement from the campaign committee on the $100,000 canvass follows: The great campaign now on in Richmond to raise an Industrial Fund has caused many persons to honestly raise the question as to whether or not the people of Richmond as a whole believe In co-operation.

C. T. U. convention in Indianapolis in November. Rev. Charles M.

TAG DAY POFULA

MANY KE

There were at least three $10 hospital tags worn in Richmond today. The hospital tag day booth at the Westcott hotel opeued with three $10 pales and at noon had added another $30. A score of pretty girls and society women were on Main street early this morning, some behind tables and others blocking the sidewalk to see that no one went untagged. At a stand in front of Engle and Eaton's cigar store on Main street, $30 had been taken in, much of it from persons who bought their second tag. Similar successful returns at other stands indicated that the tag day will not fall behind any ever held here, according to members of the committee in charge. Mrs. Eugene Price, chairman, visited each stand before noon and found the demand for tags had been unusually heavy, partially because of the clear, bright weather, she said. The number of workers today was the greatest of any tag day, she said. Many new stands did a good business.
