GO TO SWELL FUND
Order Of Eastern Star No. Z
Contributes $25 for Mis-
sOula'S Youth.

1t has not been many years ago since
the old swimming hole down behind
the willows was the mecca of all hap
riness to you during the hot summer
days.
Only few moments are necessary
for the oldest residents of the city to
recall to mind those golden days when
Billy" Smith. first did the belly flop
from the rickety spring board and the
kids from the other end of town
'chawed beef and you had to limp
home with one knotted stocking in
your hand.
The Happiest Days.
Those were real days and it is sa fe
to say that there are few MisSoula men
who would not be willing to cast aside
office troubles just to go back to those
swimming hole days for an afternoon.
Yet-there are many little chaps in
Missoula today who have never ex-
perienccd those thrills that come only
with the swimming hole and warm
weather.
With nearly $4,000 subscribed, Mis-
soula people can bring to their chill
dren and their neighbors' children
those thrills In big safe swimming
rool. IL they hurry and pay up their
pledges as soon as possible.
AS soon as the money which has
been subscribed is paid, Z. mass meet
ing of the subscribers will be called
and plans for the immediate construc-
tion of swimming pool on the old
Missoula site will be discussed. If tho
work is commenced at once the pool
will be ready for use before the sum-
mer Is over.
Acting upon a suggestion that all re-
bate money from the telephone COM
rany for the five days when no service
was given, be turned over to the fund,
a sum of s1s55 was received. The
Order of Eastern Star also voted $25
