Absolute accuracy in handling the
funds for the municipal swimming
pool were insured yesterday by the APP
pointment of a committee of represent
atives of each of the local banks,
headed by Mayor II. T. Wilkinson as
chairman, to audit the accounts of the
fund to date and handle them from
now on. Contributions will still be
turned in to The Missoulian and Sen

committee in charge.
AS for the growth of the total yes

not the Society of st. John the Baptist
stepped in last night and saved the
day with a $25 subscription. The re-

their money until the subscriptions
began to lag are still in order-de-
cidedly so.
Bankers on Committee.
The financial committee was re-
questsd to take over it's duties by The
Missoulian in order that there might
be no question as to the handling OF

MESSAGES INDICATE
VERY FEW SLACKERS
Owing to Lack Of Blanks,
Registration Continued
Wednesday in Cities.
By Associated Press.

Washington, June 6-Thc mighty
roll of honor of American manhood
had begun to reach Washington to-
night from the states that had COM
pleted their count of the men of mill
itary age registered yesterday. At =
late hour only a few complete returns
had been received. Unofficial reports
show millions of men await the call
to arms.
Figures Are Scant.
The official figures are too scant for
an actual estimate of the total OF tho
men who have registered. The first
reports show that the census bureaus
estimates of cligibles had not been
cqualled, but officials pointed out that
IL one or two cities alonG had eN-
ccedcd the estimates it would wipe out
the entire deficiency OF the several
small states sending in the first Off
cial returns.
| In some of these cities registration
still was in progress today, the attor-
ney general having approved the action
| of Provost Marshal General Crowder in
authorizing an extension OF time Whcro
cards were lacking or where the reg
listration machinery proved otherwise
Inadequate to its task.
| Discrepancies Expected.
Until the records of the great man.
ufacturing centers are complete results
of the registration cannot be g1tuged
accurately. General Crowder tonight
said that it was not to be expected
that the registrars would check with
the census estimate. II for no other
reason than that the men now in tho
|
were not required to register.
Messages from governors all over tho
country showed that there are rela-
lively few slackers to be dealt with.
Already the government is moving to
bring these few to a reckoning.
1t is upon the indignation of men
and women whose sons or other kin
have faced the issue with courage and
chccrfully recorded their names that
the government chiefly depends to
bring slackcrs into the open.
Prepare for Next Step.
| AS registratio figures came In to-
night. work of preparing for the next
great step proceeded without Interrupt
ton. Already regulations which will
govern exemptions are virtually COM
plete. 1t is probable that u few days

To Try It's Strength On

Some wise one has said (:
81 count life just a stuff to try
the souls strength or" That
is exactly what it is. In order
to make the most and best of
them, all our faculties must be
exercised, and so strengthened
and developed as ar the mus
cles of the body; for the facul-
ties may well be called the
muscles of the mind. If there
is something we very much
want to do, something that is
perfectly right to do. and
from which we seem only held
back by lack of means or OPP
portunity, there lies our chance
to exercise determination and
pereverance-always with faith
in that wondrous inner power
which never fails US when we
do trust il. A thing that is
worth having is worth working
for; and when we come into
possession Of il we shall find il
dearer and sweeter for the
effort il cost us. That which
drops into the hands like an
over-ripe plum is rarely appre.
ciated. The first thing to do is
to determine the obstacle or
trail nearest to us-that which
especially needs overcoming in
order to make life brighter and
happier. There may be others,
but il is wise TO take one at a
time; and when tho first is pro.
perly disposed Of. il will be
easier to manage the next. In.
deed, as we go on, we are pret-
ty sure TO find that our troubles

ulty of right thinking. Hearth
