Mr. Barry Keesing has initiated a scheme for the sale • of a " ribbon bearing the imprint "It's a long ■ way to Tipperary." The ladies of the Hibernian Society and others are co- ■ - operating, and purchasers are requested • to see that the official stamp of'the , society appears on the back of the i ribbon. The Warehousemen's Associaj--. tion is donating tho material, and the ; daily papers'are doing the printing ■; gratis, so that every sixpence will go i without any deduction to help the Belgians. The badge will be on sale at vari- ' ous shops, in the streets, and also at the Sports on . the Basin Reserve, and at St. Patrick's Day celebrations.
