The Daily Missoulian. [volume] (Missoula, Mont.) 1904-1961, 1917-05-26
Tho Honor Roll.

Yesterday was the smallest day from
the standpoint of contributions which
the campaign for a municipal swim
ming pool has experienced. Just why
this was SO has not been definitely
decided, although the wet weather may
have had somewhat of a dampening ef-
feet on the spirits of would-be con-
tributors. The total has advanced but
$91 over that of the day before and
this emphasizes the necessity of not
permitting the first flush of enthusiasm
to die.
Tho Big Dance.
From the standpoint of futures, how
ever, the day brought forth much en-
couragement. Floor committees ap-
pointed for the various dances to be
featured next Monday evening had all
accepted. the ticket sale is maintain
ing satisfactory pace and the out
look for a "corking" good time and a
substantial increase to the swimming
pool fund is very good. AS previously
stated the halls available for general
dancing will be the Elite and the pa
vilion. Through some oversight the
committee in charge of printing the
tickets and cards neglected to men,
tion that the dance in the Elk's hall is
for members Of the lodge only and as
it was not desired to give the wrong
impression, the committee has asked
that this correction be made public.
Many tickets have been sold and if
the weather Is at all lenient on Mon
day night all records will be shattered
in so far as dance attendance is con-
cerned.
Missoula Minstrels.
The Missoula Minstrels gathered last
evening and listened to the opening
chorus as outlined by Director Levas-
seur. The music is snappy and wei
chosen and the chorus promises to be
one of the best which ever faced q
Missoula audience. Professor DeLoss
Smith, head Of the department of mu-
sic at the university, and Professor
f. Orlo Bangs, his assistant, have botf
consented to aid in the production O.
the Missoula Minstrels and will b

whela is rehearsing a monolOgue be
tween stations and the features for tn
after part are working out nicely
Several new effects are to be intro
duced and Missoula will find the com
ing show entirely remade and eve
more entertaining than the other per
formances which have been presented
A Load Of Coal.
One of the most original plans
raising money for the fund will I
placed In effect at the courthous
square next Monday evening at IL
time of the band concert which pr,
cedes the general dance. The PERI
Coal company has donated big loa
of coal to the fund. The general AZ
visory board was duly thankful upt
receiving this information and also f
a few minutes somewhat nonplussed
to Just how this should be turned in
cash to the best advantage. Sever
suggestions were made, such as brea
ing the coal into small pieces and Sc
ing the bits for watch charms, but
none seemed just right the board W
strictly stumped. Fire Chief I.offn
came to the rescue with the winni
idea and was promptly decorated. +
suggestion wa sthat Colonel Kirkh:
be pressed into service and that
load of coal be auctioned off on
courthouse square at the time Of
band concert. So come prepared Nc
day evening to enjoy the music a
make a bid on the load OF coal.
