JUDE HUBER, A CONDIDATE FOR
COUNTY COMMISSIONER, PIONEER
IN HOLSTEIh PURE BRED INDUSTRY

Men who had the vision Of Mon
tana 3 dairy stats have not bean tOo
plentiful in Cascade county but, Of
these few some may be found in the
Belt Valley. These men believed
that this part Of the state would
some day support great numbers o.
dairy cows and that milk, butter.
cream and cheese would rival the
grain crops in their value.
Among the first to start with the
idea Of developing a high type OF
dairy animal was Jude Huber who
began some years ago with 8 few
grade Holsteins and one or two pure
bred cows. From this modest begin
ming his herd has developed until
now, in spite Of sales, he has soma
fifty head of pme-hued and regis
tered Holstein cattle besides a few
choice animal bred in the purple but
with that bar sinister Of unregistered
ancestry which deprives them Of be-
ing listed in the herd book. Mr..
Huber has never used anything but
registered HOlstein bulls and for
seven generations back all these an
imals have a perfect record on thu
sire's side. They are splendid mil
kers, look like purebreds but, because
of this one defect, Mr.. Huber has
decided to dispose Of them and keep
hereafter only registered animals.
Ruth and Kolie, two of the fines
cows in his herd have attained ad.
vanced Registry which means that,
over q carefully tested period of timsz
each animal has produced enough
pounds Of butterfat to entitle her to

Old Friends Pic
mic In Belt Park

Last Sunday the annual picnic OF
the Scandinavians was held at the
Castner park and drew hundreds Of
cars from the country for miles
around.
All through the park were family
groups who were eating their picnic
dinners in oId-time fashion.
The Bootleggers and the Phantoms
ball teams from Great Falls, played
an interesting game during the after
noon but as to who won or lost, no
one was the wiser because the score
board was not used. Finally ths
game broke up in a clash with th
umpire over the standing Of home
run hit into the trees in right field.
Dancing occupied the attention on
the young people while the older ones
wandered around and greeted ola
friends.
Some expressed themselves as re
gretfnl that the old days were gone
and aaid that pEenics were going into
deeadence.
The picnic was one of the most
orderly conducted in Castner Park

States Stock of
War Material Will
Soon Be All Sold

Another two months will see the
stock Of war goods. donated by the
government to the state highway
department, finally disposed Of in
the opinion Of H. C. Frahm, chief
engineer.
The war material, which has been
in the possession of the state for
several years, has been the source Of
much contention and bother to the
highway commission. Frahm said The
material ranged from automobile
trucks in all stages Of disrepair to
picks. shovels. tents and similar
equipment. much of which was useless
to the department.
Bids on the entire lot left in the
hands Of the state were asked in
October but were rejected on the
ground that they were too low. The
highest bid was $500. Since that
time the department has sold all the
motor trucks and most of the other
material for S5.598.88. Most Of the
material remaining is "junk" and will
be disposed Of as rapidly as possible,
Frahm said.
