A HENS Ecc???

This odd-shaped object is a
hens egg that Mrs. Murray Bon
ner of Swan Quarter recently
turned over to the paper. It's
shape was very similar to that
of a small chick; it had two dots
on the end shaped like a head
that correspondent with the posi-
ton of a chicks eyes, two other
dots at the position where wings
would be attached, and two
more dots where the legs would
be located. 1t was about two
inches long.
j. M. Worrell, Swan Quarter
agriculture teacher, examined
the egg, but could offer no ex-
PLANTATION for its formation. He
declared it to be the strangest
egg that he had ever known of.
Mrs. Bonner's flock of hens are
all New Hampshire Reds. She
says that the egg was found in
the nests on her farm.

Seasonal build-up of unemployment
in Montana took on new momentum
IN late December, and is still mount
ing in January, the Unemployment
Compensation Commission announces
in its monthly summary of employ
ment conditions.
At the same time the commission
estimates that 1877 400 wage earners
were on payrolls in mid-December,
as compared with 158,400 a month
earlier, and 157,100 a year before.
This seems to indicate, the commits
sion says, that the Montana employ
ment growth of recent years is lev
cling off, and that the present meas
ure of unemployment is partly due
to normal growth in the working
force, as we'll as to seasonal stoppage
of work. (See note below-Editor)
Total number registered as un-
employed and seeking work at the
close of December was 1900. A
year ago there were $500 at the
same period, two years ago $500,
three years ago $500, four years
ago $500, and five years ago
10000.
Seasonal industries have contrib
uted most of the present unemploy
ment. This includes primary indust-
ries of construction, lumber and log
ging, food processing, railroad main
tenance, agricultural employment,
and curtailment in trade and indust-

PRESIDENT DIDN'T SPEAK

Congress appropriated $2713 mil
lion to operate the Department this
fiscal year. That was a cut of more
than IA per cent from last year and
was down 9 per cent from the re-

This cut means that laws affect

By LEE METCALF

One of the most important depart
ments of our Federal government is
the Department of Labor, set up to
protect and promote the welfare of
wage and salary earners now num-
bering more than AT million in the
United States.
This Department is, at the same
time, the smallest in the Federal gov
eminent. After some 40 years of
continued existence, the Department
has only about $500 employees. The
next government agency in size is
the Department of State, a relative
giant of more than $4,000 employees.
The quality or the amount of SER
vice rendered by any organization,
government or not, does not neces-
sarily depend upon the size of that
organization. However, the Labor De-
partment's $500 employees are spread
pretty thin over their huge job,
which includes policy making, inves-
tigation, enforcement and promotion
of decent labor standards.
In his first State of the Union mess
age, President Eisenhower said his
intends to strength
en- and to improve the services which
the Department of Labor can render
to the worker and to the whole ma
ton community"
