HELP THE POOL FUND.

The best feature of the swimming
pool fund is the splendid interest that
has tcen aroused among all classes OF
the community. The women of Mis-
soula-God bless them--the business
men. the members of the labor unions,
the fratcrnal organizations and finally,
but by no means least, the boys and
girls, all are joining In this splendid
work. 1t looks like a real get together
movement 1t is the spirit that will
bring whatever Missoula needs. 1t is
the spirit that solves every community
Of the earth, that wins wars. 1t Is the
will to win that does things.
The work is far from finished. We
have only a fine beginning. More
money! lot more--must be raised
The work must not lag. Remember
that the little savings bank Of Maurice
Llafet with its sixteen dollars Of dimes,
nickels and pennies is the corner stone
of this fund That gift came from the
golden spirit of this little boy who lost
his life because Missoula had no
swimming pool.
Give today. Get your friends to
give. Organize the work Of giving
and let us sec il we can not have this
swimming pool before tho summer is
over.

Altogether the weather in Canada
Is not different from that Prevailing in
the northern tier OF states for some
months. IT is said that the total vol
ume of food crops for the season Is
likely to he greater than the average
This will be due in large measure to
the general appeal for greater rroduc-

the United States has always been
close, but now that our northern cous-
ins are our allies in war the boundary
line becomes more vague and intang
