Vella, the well known auto- mobile manufacturer of Moline, III., who for many years was president of the John Deere Plow Company, ap- parently Intends to develop at the beautiful Elk Run ranch in the High - wood mountains one of the finest bite of pure-bred Hereford cattle in the United States. While he has only had the Elk Run' ranch for two years, in that time the place has been transformed into a model breeding farm, and Mr. Vella ilow has more than 100 bulls and cows of the purest strain of Hereford blood. Experts state that the Valk herd of cows is unexcelled by any other herd on the continent. Mr. V i bile's latest acquisition is a new herd leader. Severn, a wonder- ful two -year -old which he recently purchased from A. B. Cook of Town- send. He paid $5,000 for the bull, which was being groomed for the In- ternational Livestock show In Chi- cago this fall Red which Mr. Cook and his farm manager, George Sim, expected to carry off the Junior grand championship. Severn Is a son of that famouebull, Cubist's Panama, owned by Mr. Cook, which was the prize bull at the Panama Pacific exposition at San Francisco, and which Mr. Cook con- siders the finest Hereford bull in the world. He recently stated that he would not take $50,000 for the ani- mal, which heads the Cook herd. Severn's mother is Martha, one of the best of the Cook cows. Mr. Cook named Severn Panama 48th, the name being changed by Mr. Velle after he bought the bull. The Elk Run ranch is an ideal place for breeding Herefords for the Montana market. The Highwood mountains are noted for the excel- lence of the pasture land that is found in the rolling foothills and gen- tle slopes of the range, which is one of the most beautiful mountain groups in Montana from a scenic standpoint. The ranch has wonder- ful hay meadows and sufficient pas- ture to take care of a much larger herd of stock than now inhabits the place. The shipping point for the ranch is the town of Highwood, on the Chi- cago, Milwaukee and St. Paul line. There are a number of other line ranches in the Highwoods. One of these is owned and operated by John Harris of Fort Benton, a pioneer of the state, who first began running cattle in the Ilighwoode hi the 70's. Joseph Baker has another fine cattle ranch of several thousand acres and has been in the stock business there since early days. Sam Stephenson, president of the First National Bank of Great Falls, has in recent years developed a stock ranch on ilighwood creek, where he has an attractive summer home. He is interesting himself in developing a dairy farm and is acquiring a Holstein herd. One of the most beautiful ranches in the mountains is that of Shirley S. Ford, vice president of the Great Palls National bank, who has a very fine summer home between the Ste- phenson ranch and the Elk Run ranch.

In the midst of the battle, signal corps men took more than 10,000 feet of movie film depicting war scenes.
