Old Age Pensions
Will Stay Reduced

Although old age pensions will
be larger from July on than the
small payments made necessary
in April. May and June because
of the reduced legislative ap-
preparation. pensions paid dur
ing the hext two years probably
will be smaller than the amounts
paid in the last two years be-
cause of the increased number of
aged needy. according to the
state welfare board.
In q letter to the Cascade
county welfare board. the state
board pointed out that the num-
Der of persons eligible for old
age pensions is increasing month
ly. but the amount, appropriated
by the legislature for old age
pensions for the next tive years
is the same as was appropriated
two years ago.
The boards letter. in part
I'VE deplore this situation and
we trust that when the legisla.
tive session assembly reconvenes
in 194l you will use your influ-
ence toward obtaining appropria.
tions that will enable this de.
partment to function on a norm
al basis.

The Vocational Agriculture
classes have spent the past week
judging livestock. They have
judged stock at the Boarding
school, Bucks ranch, Kipp ranch,
Enterprise Dairy and Bill Show g
ranch. At Shows ranch they
witnessed lamb docking de-
monstration.
Four of the FLA boys went to
Dutton last Saturday to enter
the district meet there. The
boys went on a livestock judging
tour of the Dutton and Power
communities. They saw several
very good farm animals and re.
ceived a valuable lesson in stock
judging.
The boys are working over
time on the FLA not bed in an
attempt to get it ready to set up
by April 10th which was the date
decided on last fall.

Mirror Ends Loneliness
OF Sensitive Race Horse

SYDNEY. N. S. W.-Progress. a
Sydney race horse, is so fond Of
company that she refuses to 60 to
sleep if she is alone, and her trainer
had TO adopt subterfuge to over
come the tendency
When Progress first came to her
trainers stable, she was a ''weav-
er'-she ,swayed from side to side
in her stall, changing from one leg
to another instead of taking a proper
rest. To induce her to sleep her
trainer had large mirror placed in
her stall. Seeing her own refiec-
ton, she concluded that she had a
stable companion. and settled down
happily for the night.
The mirror is still there, and ev-
cry night before retiring she sur
veys herself carefully. She always
lies down facing the mirror.

n. E. Building At Boarding
School Quilted By Fire

Saturday morning, March 18th
about 7:30. the telephone rang
and the agency was informed
that bad fire had started in the
home economics building at the
Cut Bank Boarding school. A
hurry up call was sent out for
fire fighting apparatus with
which to put out the blaze. The
agency force were soon under
way accompanied by the Brown
ing town fire department with
their equipment and arriving at
the school. the fire was soon un-
der control. The building, a
frame cottage used for home
economics demonstrations was
Quilted, considerable damage be-
ing done, and more would prob.
ably would have been done but
for the timely arrival of the
agency and town fire fighting
forces.

Tribal Council End Business
Meetings Starr District Monday

In an effort to learn the desires
and wants of the Blackfeet. sew
eral different members of the
Tribal Council have toured the
reservation. Meetings were held
at Heart Butte. Old Agency,
Little Badger, Browning. and on
Monday at Starr School.
An assemblage of about 100
people was there to meet them
and discuss tribal affairs. To the
surprise of all it was a harmon
ious and friendly meeting thus
indicating that the Blackfeet are
united in an effort to help them
selves.
Rehabilitation of the Indian at
his home appears to be the prob
lem of the day and the solution
of this subject is now the worry
and study of all.
Last year Is homeless families
were sent to Seville. This year
20 more families are being moved
to the irrigated areas. Seville
and Badger Fisher. The coun-
Gil is of the opinion that enough
has been done in the irrigated
areas to protect Blackfeet water
rights and in the rehabilitation
of homeless Indians, in the mean
time why not try rehabilitation
up and down the various streams
that cross the reservation.
Having this in mind, the coun-
Gil is now considering the ways
and the means to rehabilitate the
Blackfeet at their homes rather
than m owing them to the irrigat-
ed area. With hundreds of fine
allotments. natural hay meadows.
range. etc, the council is of the
opinion that rehabilitation should
be there rather than on the irri-
gated area.
To build new homes possibly
under the Federal Housing act.
to restock their allotments with
cattle, horses or sheep, is the
problem requiring solution now
facing the council. Their action
on these questions is a matter of
public interest as vital matters
in which all Indians as we'll as
whites are interested.

SsPrsme Court Says County
Officers Elected For 4 Years

The Montana Supreme court
in a unanimous opinion ruled
county officers included in the
constitutional amendment adopt
ed last November had been elect
ed to four-year terms.
The decision was made in an
action brought by Brian D.
O'Connell. Lewis & Clark county
sheriff. who sought and was
granted a writ of mandamus d.
recting A. J. Duncan, clerk and
recorder. to issue an election
certificate for a four-year term
instead of two.
The amendment. which Mon
tana's electors adopted, provides
all county officers except county
attorney and auditor. serve a
four-year tenure.
The conclusion is that Oh and
after the Sth day of November
1888, there was but one term of
Office provided for the county of.
ficers referred to in the amend.
ment to the constitution then
adopted and that the four-year
term Immediately became eff.
fective and the two-year term
ceased to exist at that time, and,
hence, the relator is entitled to
the relief prayed.
County attorneys and county
auditors are not included under
the ruling since their offices
we're created under different sec.
tions of the Constitution of Mon
tana than the one amended at
the November election.

ing statement: Because of our
sparce population and our great
distances the Montana Division
of the Womens Field Army has
a more difficult job than the or.
ganization faces in most of the
forty-four states participating in
the crusade against cancer. How.
ever in 1887 and 1888 did better
than many of the states in get
ting the very important message
that "early cancer is curable'' to
great numbers of peoples. The
message of the Women's Field
Army is relatively simple. The
difficulty lies in getting it t. the
people. If public spirited and
health minded men and women
enlist in the Field Army and
urge others to do so. the funds
thus derived will make it DOS.
sible TO reach many more Mon
tana people during the gear
ahead with reliable information
concerning cancer. Each per-
son enlisting between now and
April 30th receives in addition
to the Danger Signals and other
pamphlets a COPY of the Cancer
Almanac of 1882. This is an
attractive one hundred page
book covering all aspects of the
cancer problem. Enlistments
will be received by local captains

be finished. Now, when you
have been told that by any of
the officials of either the
Browning office or the State,
then believe it. But until you
have. l would consider it some
prediction hot air and regard
it as such. | have no gas pro-
ject or the like to offer you but
if elected l will see that city
affairs are administered alike
TO all and no favoritism to any.
Your consideration will be ap-
preciated.
