Local stores are also near the end of their stock of candy but have been assured by the wholesalers that there will be an ample supply for the Christmas trade. One of the local soda fountains ran out of syrup and for a couple of days were unable to serve any but prepared drinks.

A WORTHY WORK.

Strong appeals for aid to the war
service of the Y. NJ. c. A. were made
yesterday at a Chamber of Commerce
luncheon by Judge T.. c. Day and
Charles Puehler. General Secretary of
the Association for Montana OF the
large sum to be raised in q campaign,
this sum $4,000 has been apportioned
to the counties Of Missoula, Mineral.
Sanders and Ravalli. Subscriptions
amounting to $3.50 were raised in a few
minutes from the guests at the lunch
con. The Y. NJ. c. A. work in this war
is of a noble character, quite in line
with it's magnificent service in our
cities for decades. 1t is needless to say
that the work of the Y. NJ. c. A. In any
field is marked by the greatest degree
Of efficiency. Our boys on the fighting
line have the hardest hours of their
that may be given to furnish ease,
! comfort. or entertainment will bring
! their own rewards. Army camps in
times gone by have been places of
horror The importance of the Y. NJ.
c. A. is to return boys who live
! through the battle and help them to
bear the burdens of life to come. Let
all get in line and help.

PAY UP, PLEASE.

1t is hoped that all unpaid subscrip-
tons to the swimming pool fund vii
be paid very soon. The work Of the
committee charged with the collection
of the subscriptions will be greatly
aided If those who have not paid will
send their checks without urging.
Payments will be received at any OF
the banks, or may be sent to the COM
mittee of which the mayor is chair
man.
More money must be subscribed be-
fore 1t will be possible to begin the
actual construction. The work al
present Is being done with the as
sumption that the balance of the fund
needed will be subscribed. but there is
no assurance of it. The need of this
pool should be very apparent to every
one, especially in these hot days when
the small boy is hardly to be blamed
if he sneaks down to the river and
takes n chance of drowning. A great
deal of volunteer work is being done
for this project and the citizens of
there are many, should lend a hand by
doing their money bit. Let us show
our neighbors that Missoula is a real
community that does things
