RED JERSEY APPEAL

A BUSY WEEK BEGINS. MAKING TUB MONEY WORK. Good business continues to be dona by the Red Jersey folk m charge of Paddy’s Market in Willis street. Each morning brings a new stock of produce from generous givers in town and try, and each night sees the shelves bare, or nearly so. Tinder the oonditions "which, govern the whole of tne lied Jersey Appeal, every penny is aU profit —another coin to swell the warwork exchequer of the Salvation ArmyPaddy’s Market is an attractive proposition to those shoppers who like to get fresh wholesome goods at moderate prices. To such, the continuance of the Market till the end of the Bed Jersey Appeal should he a boon. CONCERT IN TOWN HALL. The concert which is to be held in the Town Hall on Wednesday night in aid of the Red Jersey Appeal promises to be an unusually good one. Bis Excellency the Governor-General and party will be present. The talent secured includes items by members of the ‘'Book Who’s Beref" Company. Mr Frederick Wi Dennett, .-the cerebrated young English pianist, will play a number of classical contributions, aa will Mr Gregory Ivanoff, ghe distinguished violinist. Mx Marshall Palmer, of the Fisk Juibl* lee Singers, who has won the hearts of Wellington audiences, will contribute to the evening’s enjoyment, also Mr, Hugh Wright and others. The accompanist will bo Mr Edgar Holland, another clever pianist. Every penny of the proceeds of this concert will be applied to the Red Jersey Appeal funds, tor warwork among New Zealand soldiers, A BEiIINDEfR. The ladies of Wellington are reminded of the Mayoress’s meeting to be held in the Concert Chamber of the Town Ball this afternoon at 3 o’clock. The business is important, and has. special reference to the organisation of the selling of exemption badges in connection with the Red and Blue Aritillery Battle, which will begin on Friday next. Owing to the need fot careful manoeuvring of forces, the beginning of the duel between the Reds and Blues was postponed for a few days. It will positively start on Friday, however and the work of the sellers of badges will be really a work of mercy—the wearing of the badges may save citizens from many of the horrors of war, especially from, being raided by parties of determined raiders of amazonian demeanour. MAKING MONEY WORK. The Salvation Army knows how to make money work. The falling off in the earning power of the gold sovereign, and its equivalents tas not affected the Army so much as it has affected people in other ITho “go-slow" policy of the pound sterling is sternly dealt with by the Red Jersey men. and strikes among currency are not notable ©vents in the Army’s books. The chief reason for this is that the individual coins : are kept moving too fast; there is no loitering in cash-boxes and coffers. No sooner is it in than it is out again on some errand of morcy where no profits are allowed. Very often the coins return, and when they do they bring followings of lesser coins; and so the circulation goes on —all for the benefit of tho unlucky folk of the community. Tlio Bed Jersey appeal is for soldiers only, soldiers of New Zealand. The organisation of the Salvation Army is to carry out the work of making the money go as far as possible, in their hands it is wonderful how far the sovereigns, the shillings, and the pence do go.
