Public Welfare Board. to
Distribute Onions and NV
Spuds to Needy.

1. M. Brandjord, administrator
and secretary to the Montana
state board of public welfare, in a
statement sent out to the state
press Saturday, says:
Fortune has been generous
with the state department of
public welfare during the week.
To begin with the Surplus Com
modities corporation of the United
States notified us that we could
have as many as II carloads Of
new onions for distribution to the
needy people throughout the state,
each carload containing thirty
thousand rounds of sacked onions.
We did not deem it advisable to
accept as much as twelve car
loads of this pungent bulb all at
one time. A forced onion diet
might have a tendency to faint
the atmosphere of courtship and
love so very prevalent during this
season of the year. So we reduced
the generous offer to six carloads,
which will be sufficient to go
around.
NEXT we were notified by the
Surplus Commodities corporation
that e :could haRe-10. carloads of
new POTATOES -fnr~ distribution.
This was a particularly welcome
offer without any odoriferous diff
ficulties. There are no new po-
tatees- grown in Montana avail
able at this time of the year, and
the old potatoes, whatever re-
mains. have lost their freshness.
flavor and charm. The 10 carloads
of new potatoes are expected in
the verv near future.
we have just received a wire
to the effect that the Social Sc
curity board has made available
for this department a total of
more than $3.50 900 for old age as
sistance for the quarter ending
June 80, 1887, and a further sum
of nearly $4,000 as aid to needy
dependent children for the same
period. This was particularly good
news because aid to needy depend
ent children and old age assist
nee disbursed by this department
during the months of April, May
and June had been paid exclus-
lively from state funds. The total
oiAlouiiG VI tllcSt payments was
more than $685., 900. and not a
single dollar was federal money.
We hoped that the expected fed
eral grant for these three months
would be received, but the money
was not secured until the Mon
tana plans for old age assistance
and for aid to needy dependent
children had been approved by
the Social Security board and the
payment of the money thereupon
authorized. All of this has now
been done.

fare and other officers of this
department have stretched the
provisions of the public welfare
act and their authority to the Ut

OF GOOD TIME WHEN
NOT HANDWRITING
By Corporal Don King

Again this year Corporal Red
Beatty, the genius of the MING,
is a joy for any reporter. First
on the way up here he accidently
on purpose, with a little help
from behind fell out of the door
of the baggage car; second, like
ly as a result of the fall, he tells
Top Sergeant Hosken that he is
tired of the infantry and he would
like to join the underground
balloon corps. Tsk! Tsk! and they
made him a corporal.
Another highlight, at least
noticeable bump is the one on the
head of Top Kick Hosken's head.
While it may not be a bump of
intelligence, he will as result of
the bump be intelligent enough
not to sleep under loose lamp
in the baggage car. OF course, the
lamp broke but it seemed to have
the desired and necessary effect.
We had Rocky initiation in
camp last night and you would be
surprised at some of the things
those who have been in the COM
pany for some time can think of.
