GOOD NEWS FOR THE SWIMMING
POOL FANS.

The friends of the swimming POOL
may well rejoice over a magnificent
Gift announced yesterday by the Mis-
soula Mercantile company.
This gift is superb site, ideally
| located and in every way common
snratc to the need. The lot in the
| block directly south of the Elks temple
will easily provide a pool one hundred
and thirty feet long and one hundred
! feet wide. 1t is the most accessible
| location that could be reached from
all sections of the city.
This site is given by the Mssoula
Mercantile company in addition to it's
gift OF $1,000 to the fund. Altogether
1t sets high water mark OF public
| spirit in this community.
1t should inspire energetic work in
a cause that means much for the peo-
pie Of Missoula.
The swimming pool fund has reached
Il stage where it is reasonable to pre-
diet success. More money is needed.
considerable more but If all will get
IN and help in the last stretch Mis-
soula will have the pool Just how
soon the boys and girls will have
their first dip depends upon the
alacrity displayed in getting the final
subscriptions
The Llks rendered splendid service
Ihey gave minstrel performance
that was Il joy. Missoula never saw
a timer amateur entertainment. The
receipts together with the sale of
flowers and the advertising increased
the fund by sl,350.
There have been many inquiries as
TO the probable cost of the pool. That
Is as yet undecided. Billings has a
fine. open pool located in "A city park
and constructed at a cost of about
$4,000. 1t is built to provide /. roof
so that later it may be used the wear
around. With the Billings pool as a
model we may hope for something
similar at Missoula at approximately
the same cost
Every feature must be carefully
thought out The big thing now is to
gather Il sufficient fund. When that is
done the construction of the pool will
proceed with such speed as is consis-
tent with efficiency.

Tomorrow is the day we celebrate.
The anniversary of the Independence
of the United States is ond of hardly
more than two holidays which is uni
vcrsally observed and distinctively ma
tional in character. Missoula has been
somewhat backward this year. but
what with the exercises arranged by
the fire department the races at the
fair grounds under the auspices of the
Missoula County Fair and Racing as
ISOLATION, the ball game in the after
noon and the dance in the evening. to
say nothing of the small boy with his
firecElcker, 1t is not to be feared that
any resident of the city will fail to
realize that tomorrow is the Fourth
of July.
Seven persons escaped from the
county Jail yesterday morning at $3.50
and five are still at large, two having
been caught soon after the escape Wns
made. Among the men still at liberty
is William Know. held on n charge of
murder in the Flathead.

way. Smith, Wordcn and West went
out horseback riding early last
Wednesday morning. The start was
made shortly after o'clock to catch
the cool air of the early day and the
trip proved to be Il most delightful
one.
It is noticeable that the average
society girl likes to take her first
horseback ride of the season alone and
unohservcd by the masculine eye.
The hotels are becoming crowded
with visitors for the Fourth.
Hamilton, Como, Stevensville, SUI

the places In Missoula county which
will fittingly celebrate the Fourth.

The manufactures. jobber and whole

men are confronted with the problem
OF sales direction, or sales manager

force. There is truth in the adage:
THAT to govern, you must first learn
to obey" 1t is also a we'll grounded
fact that one must possess knowledge
before he can properly teach or impart
it to others. With this thought be-
fore us. we must first create and de-
vclop a genuine SALESMAN before
we can expect to convert him into
teacher or SALES MANAGER.
Some statesmen evidence. more than
others, Il faculty of leadership; some
have the ability and intelligence to
successfully manage all of the details
of the district or section allotted to
them. Their transactions are SO care
fully conducted. and so satisfactorily
handled, that they require little or
no guidance or direction from the
head of the sales department. They
are alert to every condition that may
arise, and frequently demonstrate
their foresight and good Judgment.
Such Il salesman is splendid timber
for advancement, and if properly
coached could be developed into "A first
