Is Announcement.



A Telegram received Tuesday
morning from MyTon A. Keaner, local
secretary Of the war camp com
Ihunity board, announced the passing

the building Of a natatorium in Dem
ing, primarily for the use of soldiers,
but also open to use by civilians un-
der certain conditions that win be
established later.
No details were given in the mes
sage to Mr. Kesner, and while the
local board has held one or two for
NAL discussions Of the matter, no
move has been made and no plan
considered here for the carrying out
Of the national boards aim, pending
the expected arrival today Of A. A.
Fiske Of FL Paso, head Of the war
camp activities in the border country
west Of Fl Paso. From previous cor
respOndence, however, il is believed
that an elaborate plant is contem-
plated with a pool about 60x10O feet,
with dOrmitory and lockers and with
roof over all, steam plant to heat
the water for winter bathing and per-
haps o "beach" for the pool. Its To-
catiOn is at present entirely problem
atical. II is possible that the city
will be asked to donate a site for the
building.
Mr.. Fiske is expected TO leave the
situation much cleared after his visit
beginning today, as il is understood
that the work on the plant will begin
ut once and he will probably be III

Of such building and the completion

K.c.'s BEAT QUOTA
With More Than Enough Cash In
Drive Ended TUESDAY,.

The X. c. drive went triumphantly
over the top Tuesday afternoon, when
Secretary J. A, Kelley reported the
committee in possession Of funds
amounting to $4,000, or $50 more
than the goal aimed at when the drive
started on July 18th. This sum is all
in cash, che percentage Of unpaid
subscriptions being remarkable for its
smallness. Less than 800 remains
to be collected according to Mr..
Kelley.
The public responded to the appeal
of the X. c. for funds TO help beat
the Hun with the greatest good spirit,
and both Mr.. MahOney, chairman OF
the Luna county drive, and Mr..
Kelley are confident that the amount
asked FOR could have been greatly ex-
ceeded if necessary. by merely taking
a little more time. However, with the
goal reached and with the Salvation
Army drive opening the oath, it was
decided to bring the campaign to an
end Tuesday night, one day earlier
than was originally scheduled.
Tables were maintained at several
points on the streets Saturday after
noon and evening, in charge of com
mittees of women and girls, who ac-
counted for Sl35 of the total.

Army Makes Record Meat Purchase.
Chicago, July 2O.-The largest
single order for bacon and canned
meats in the history Of the world

100000 pounds Of canned meat--has

Louis +. Swift, il commenting on
this today, said the order will take
the bacon from approximately l,0OO,-

dropped to produce it, it would be
equivalent to the total bacon produc-

packers for nearly five weeks. How
ever, six months will elapss before de
livery is to be completed.
Mr.. Swift said:
"At the current prices of the day,
last week, when the purchase was
mhdc, the packers would pay the live
stock producers about $80,0OO,O0O
for the necessary hogs and over $780,
100000 for about 100000 cattle re-
quired.
"The cattle will cost us twice as
much, and the hogs two and One-half
times as much as in the pre- war
period.
"The whole order will be made up
before the first of the year, despite
the fact that, even before this pur-
chase, One-fourth of the packers
