Bill Beatus,

Dear Bill:
It's mighty fine of you to give a
barbecue in honor of our mutual
friend, Craig Pottinger, on his ap-
pointment to the office of Collector
Of Port at NogaleS. You know, my
Uncle Malchi was at one time the
collector of port in Dublin, Ireland.
As matter of fact, he not only was
the collector of port but he also was
quite collector of sherry and whis-
key.
I am just sorry that I can't be at
yoor party as 1 will be out of town.
He's a pretty good guy, that Pot
finger himself, although he's the
cheapest guy in town when it comes
to paying salary. He promised me
salary of $4,000 per week when I
started writing this column. Well,
he didn't exactly promise $4,000, but
he did say, eff I can't pay you
$4,000, I won't pay you nothing
and that's what he pays me. And
Bookas says at that he's paying a
little more than the column is
worth.
So have a good time, Bill, and
while you are having your party
will be in the finest flea-bag in all
Mexico.
This hotel that am going to stop
at gives you a room with bath fol
three pesos day. It's not exactly
the latest plumbing but there is 6
hole in the ceiling right over thC
bed so that when it rains you get 6
bath without getting up out of bed
The pillows were made by the Port
land Cement Company. They alsC
have hot and cold running chamber
maids.
Instead of signing the register
when you enter the joint, you sigr
an insurance policy that relieve!
the management of all responsibilit7
for your clothes. Then when yol
check out, the clerk tries to sell vol
back your own clothes. And, oh ye7
you have to furnish your own FIJI
and DDT.
Have a good time.
Best regards,
MARTY
P.S.-Don't tell Mayor Robin
what I said about the cemetery.

3O-cent Wheat Bonus
Effective As OF
April 3

BOZEMAN-To clear up any misun-
derstanding about the 30-cent bonus
which will be paid for wheat, r. ]. Nc.
Kenna, state director of the Produc-
ton and Marketing administration ex-
plains that it will be paid for all wheat
delivered from April 3 to May %,
1916 to the Commodity Credit corpora
ton under the wheat certificate plan.
There is one other provision. To be
eligible for the bonus, the producer
must select a date for payment be-
tween the date of delivery and June
rs, 1916.
Although the bonus payment was
not announced until April 49, all wheat
sold to the CCC between April and
April 10, likewise is eligible for the
bonus.
The wheat bonus payment is one
of six measures developed by the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture
to speed up and increase shipments of
food grains needed to avert famine
abroad. These measures were an
nounced after consultation with Can
ada and the United Kingdom, both
of which are Cooperating in the
emergency food program.
The other measures are:
/. Millers are required to reduce
their production of flour for domestic
consumption to rs percent of that dis
tributed domestically in the CORE
spending months of 1915. Wheat
milled in excess of this is to be made
available for famine relief shipments.
Must Limit Domestic Production
2. Food manufacturers are required
to limit the use of wheat in the manu-
facture of products for domestic con-
sumption to rs per cent of the quaint
ity used in the corresponding months
of 1915.
