BANK WITHIN A BANK
IS NOW AT THE TOP

The First National bank heads the
list in the weekly contributions to the
fund being raised by the Kings
Daughters for the poor and needy in
Missoula. Some time ago the society
placed little metal contribution boxes
il several business houses of the city.
and a collection from these boxes is
made every week. Considerable rivalry
has been worked up between the pat
rons Of each place, and there has been
a steady increase in the amounts left
in the boxes until yesterday, when
nearly every place was below the usual
limit in its Offering. The box at the
Shapard hotel has headed the list for
several weeks before, but lost out yes
terday by a big margin. Several places
returned no cash yesterday, those at
Coffee's, Heimbach's and Smiths drug
store having been empty when the col
lection was made. The previous total
collection was $34.06. Yesterdays re-
port is as follows: First National
