MISSOULA FAILS TO
MEET HER ALLOTMENT
Total for County Will BE Ap-
proximately $l5,OO0-
Most Gifts Small.

Missoula county has fallen $4,000
short of meeting the call made upon
1t by the American Red Cross. The
collection of $l4,5 800 had been reported
to Chairman +. A. Silcox at midnight,
and he expects delayed reports to bring
the total collections during the eight
day campaign up to $4,000. The
county was asked to raise $4,000 as
it's share of the 100000 900 fund need
ed by the Red Cross and oversub-
scribrd by the people of the United
States last week.
Big Gifts Few.
Lack of large single contributions
was responsible for Missoula countys
failure, according to Mr. Silcox. Gen
orally, he said last night. the people
responded well to the appeal Of the
Red Cross, but there were few big
gifts. While hundreds Of men. women
and children with moderate and even
poor incomes gave what they could,
wealthy givcrs were few. Only three
contributions OF $1,000 or more were
reported. The largest OF these was the
81, ,00n donation of the Missoula Mer-
camille company. the others were gifts
of $1,000 each from the First National
nnd tho Missouln Trust and Savings
bank.
People Were Generous.
"Tet no one judge the people Of Mis-
soula county by this total" said Mr..
SicoN. what some call the rank ana
file of the county responded well.

How would you like to tear off your
sticky clothes this afternoon, after n
hot days work, and take a header into
a cool clean plunge?
Or jump into your car after a game
of golf and drive into town for a swim
before dinner?
Yes. and wouldn't you like to know
your boy was enjoying himself today
where he could have good sport with
out great danger instead of being (for
all you know out along the river with
the "gang." taking chances with un-
dercurrents that have been too much
for dozens of youngsters?
The Big Push Now.
Well, the swimming pool fund has
been half filled. A few good jolts
and work can be started on n public
natatorium. With a little push the
plunge can be built before the summer
is over.
This week will decide whether or not
Misoula boys and girls and men and
women are to go swimming this year.
The Red Cross campaign is over and
the midsummer sun has enlisted as a
subscription getter. The time is ripe
TOT the dig fuSn. Let's put 1t over.
Putting It over means raising the
cash. The AL Missoula Minstrel
show this week undoubtedly will add
lot to the fund. but as much more
must come from private subscriptions.
II every man who likes to swim would
give just one days earnings to the
fund he would insure swimming for
himself and his family and his neigh
boris forever. Just one day! Why
not?
That Minstrel Show.
A pleasant route to the early COM
pletion of MissoulaS swimming pool
is going to be by way of the Swim
ming Pool Minstrels" which is to be
given at the tMissoula theater on two
evenings Friday and Saturday. June
20 and 80. Missoula's best talent has
been given freely to make the Swim
ming Pool Minstrels" a worthy per-
formarice for a worthy cause.
The Missoula theater was the first
donation which originated the idea OF
the Minstrel show. This was fol-
lowed by the band, which offered it,

no,,ntv Has Been Reported as Oversubscribed on
 Liberty Loan.
ADVERSE REPORT
 wnIJLD BE HARMFUL
Committee Yesterday Se- .,red Subscriptions for $12,5O0, Leaving $42,052 to be Sub
 scribed Before Saturday.

E. Bloom, chair man of the Jefferson County Liberty 1oan committee, expressed himself as very we'll pleased. He said that + should be borne in mind that the committee making the canvass is com nosed of business meE who are com nolled to devote the greater part of their time to their business affairs. Only three more days remain for this campaign.
 The members of the committee are: s. c. Alexander, chairman; H. K. Ton ey. B. B. Bloom and D. Stanley Drey- fus. Speaking further on the subject, Chairman Bloom said he felt very sure that the full amount aiioted to this county would be taken by the people, which would be a most con yincing testimony Of the patriotism for President Wilson, Secretary Me Adoo and the world at large.
 Jefferson county has been reported as having oversubscribed the loan, this report having been sent out from St. Louis by the state chan man, w. [. Hemingway. He made the state nent last Saturday morning, and it was telegraphed to all parts of the country. If the county fails to make good, the corrected report, showing the stacker, will be very harmful to the city and, county.
 The members of the general and canvassing committees, as we'll as others have no wish to see a later re- pcft correcting the Hemingway re- port. Trey have subscribed for their full share and they are asking all who can to come and help out in this wind-un1 campaign to secure the remaining $42,050. which must be subscribed by the people in accord with the presidents proclamation and the urgent appeal of Secretary Me Adoo. ><
