"UNCLE SAM" HAS
BIRTHDAY PARTY
Scores Gather to Help Him Cele
brate His'Sixty-Fourth
Anniversary •
BEIXjRADE (Special Correspond
ence).—To celebrate the sixty-fourth
birthday of "Uncle Sam" Hampton,
editor and publisher of the Belgrade
Journal, about three score relatives
and friends gathered at his home last
Thursday evening, October 22.
During the early part of the eve
ning speeches were made by a num
ber of the guests who expressed their
appreciation of "Uncle Sam" both as
a man and as a community worker.
Following refreshments about 11
o'clock, the large hall was cleared fox
dancing. The music was furnished by
David Reed at the piano and Maurice
Holmes, violinist. "Uncle Sam" him
self, for the first time in his life,
yielded to this frivolous pastime,
to the great* entertainment of the
guests.
Surprised Himself
In welcoming his friends, "Uncle
Sam" gave his reasons for giving him
self a birthday party when he an
nounced that, "As no one ever thought
of surprising e with a birthday
party, I decided to surprise myself. I
hope you will enjoy this evening in
my home to the fullest extent.
A manuscript was read by Uncle
Sam's eldest son, Robert Hampton, in
which he expressed his gratitude and
that of his brothers and sisters for
their father's care and paternal kind
ness.
In a talk S. C. Allen referred
pleasantly to the time he first met
Uncle Sam and his impression of him.
He stated that it would, make no dif
ference if Mr. Hampton were garbed
in overalls, with pick and shovel over
his shoulder; he would be the same
rugged character, with a word and
smile for everybody.
Tender Congratulations
M. C. Smiley spoke of the fine ser
vice Mr. Hampton has given the
community. E. A. Stiefel congrat
ulated "Uncle Sam" an his accomp
lishments with the Belgrade Journal
as well as upon the neighborly feeling
which he has helped to promote be
tween the town and the surrounding
country. Mrs, D. P. Stone empha
sized the fine spirit of morality which
characterizes the Journal's policy,
and expressed appreciation of the
support which Uncle Sam has con
tinually given the work of the W. C.
T. U., with its far-reaching effect on
neighborhood life.
Similar sentiments were expressed
by A. L. Olsen, D. P. Stone, the Rev.
Roy E. Reece, all of Belgrade, and
M
W. W. Casper and Mr. Pollock of
Boaeman.
Among the gifts received by the
host was a handsome leather chair,
the remembrance of friends and
neighbors of the Belgrade community, j
U. S. COURT FACES
BUSY FALÜ TERM
BUTTE.—The calendar for the fall
term of federal court, which will
open here some time during Novem
ber, will be the largest in the history
of the court, it was stated by Leslie
Polglase, clerk. More than 100 cases
are on the list and this number will
be swelled by .indictments which will
be returned by the grand jury next
month, Mr. Polglase said. During the
three months ending September 30,
cases were filed at the rate of 30 a
month, he stated.
All charges to date are for viola
tion of the Vobtead law, approxi
mately 100 abatement proceedings
having been filed, Mr. Polglase said.
It is thought that many of the cases
will not come up for trial as the
action oi Elias Marsters, district pro
hibition director, in dismissing one
third of his field staff, will, it is an
ticipated, result in a dearth of wit
Judge Bourquin is still at Phoenix,
Arizona and has sent .no word as, to

BELGRADE PROUD
OF IMPROVEMENT
BELGRADE (Special Correspond
ence).—One of the most extensive
civjic improvements! in Belgrade in
years was completed recently when
graveling work along one of its prin
cipal streets was finished. Running
the length of Broadway, north and
south, and Madison street west as far
as Jackrabbit lane, more than a mile
of improved thoroughfare invites tho
motorist. The work was finished in
less than two weeks at a cost of less
than $2,000.
The satisfaction of Belgrade resi
dents with the new improvement is
unanimous. The idea was initiated
with them when they attempted to
raise the necessary funds f:r ths
work by popular subscription. The
project was later authorized and fi
nanced by the city council.
The fine hard gravel which was
placed on the street after it had been
graded and leveled was taken from
what is known as the "Belgrade
flats" and is said to be the best grade
of gravel known. The three-quarter
inch stones which compose it and
which are fast working down into a
compact surface were used at the
result of an opportunity perceived and
A crush
er, cutting stones to this* proportion,
was in Belgrade on another contract.
The gravel and the crusher there, and
the need of the street apparent, the
people were quick to respond, and the
xiew highway is the answer.
The work was done under the di
rection of Street Commissioner
Charles MacDonald, to whom credit
is due for the efficiency and expedi
tion of the project.

NEW YORK.—An average reduc

commercial vehicles are promised by
spokesmen fcr the automobile indus
try if the federal war excise taxes or.
motor products are repealed, accord
ing to an announcement by the na
tional automobile! chamber of com
merce.

proposed tax repeals which will he

MANITOBA'S- DAIRY
* INDUSTRY GROWS
WINNIPEG, Manitoba—The growth
of the dairy industry in Manitoba is
well illustrated by a comparison of
the figures of production in 1900 and
1924. In 1900 the total value of dairy
products produced in Manitoba was
$1,681,305. Last year it was $13,
093,902. In 1924, 198 carloads of
creamery butter were experted from
Manitoba, totalling 4,435,200 pounds,

AN "ORDER TAKER"
OR A "SALESMAN?"
Paul Ivey df the University of
Nebraska went into a store and
asked for a hammer. The sales
man brought one and said:
'That's a mighty fine hammer.
You can't go wrong on It.
Ivey looked it over and walked,
expectantly, for more detain.
After a while the salesman ven
tured: ,
"That's a mighty fine ham
mer. That's a real hammer. We
sell lots of 'em.
Again Ivey inspected the ham
mer, and the salesman declared:
That's a mighty fine hammer,
a real hammer. You'll like it.
We sell lots of 'em,"
Thereupon Mr. Ivey left that
store, dug up a mail orde^ cata
logue, and found an attractive
picture of a hammer with this
description:
"This hammer is made of the
best crucible steel, full nickle
plated. The face and claws are
tempered just right for service
and the claws are split to a*(jpie
point. They grip firmly and will
not break. The handle is made
of selected second growth hick
ory, mahogany finish, and is fas
tened in with iron wedges so that
it will not work loose.'
No, Mr. Ivey didn't patronize
the mail order house, but his ex
perience has shown him the dif- •
ference between the order taker
and the salesman—also, between
good advertising and poor adver
tising.
The catalogue sells its goods
solely through advertising of the
livest kind. The home merchant,
to compete with it, must likewise
advertise—and put "punch" into
it.—Adapted from Inland Printer.

Montana farm women will be inter

Kitchen," jpst issued by the Montana
Extension service, prepared by Miss
Gertrude Hoffman, former extension
specialist in home management.
During the last two years kitchen ÊËÉ
contests were held in five Montana
counties under the direction of ex
tension specialists and county home
demonstration agents. Approximate
ly 400 farm womejn enrolled in the
work of improving kitchens. I - many
ca&s the improvements made as a
result'of these contests were suffi
cient to cut the kitchen work of farm
women in two. The contests also
brought out the need for a standard
reference work which would assist
women in the work cf kitchen im
provement. The present bulletin is
intended to satisfy that need.
The results of the kitchen contests
in the sta,t * showed many kitchens
