Birthday Candles.

For the birthday cake where the
number OF years OF the recipient can
not be expressed in candles one can
die should be used for the multiple OF
ten, which indicates the decades lived,
and as many other candles as are
needed for the single number. But II
it ID wiser to avoid any discussion OF
years single large candle in a large
candle holder may be used in the CEN
ter ard candied rose petals or other
candies may decorate the edge. There
are large candle holders for the pur-
pose, which come in various flower
shapes. At children's party, to mako
a change from the usual birthday
cake, there were individual cakes iced
with white and decorated with colored
bonbons, and a candle stood in the
center Of each in a. fiower-shaped
holder. The cake came to the table
on tray looking like one large cake.
The children were delighted when
each received candle.

* ALirIEs MERGED ~ "

Williston, N. D., March 22.-There
has been a movement on foot for some
time among the Lutheran churches of
this city to consolidate the three into
one organization. There have been
several meetings and after much care
full planning and celebrating the or
ganization is now about completed. 1t
will be known as the Norwegian Amer
lean Lutheran church, and arrange
ments will be made for two services
every Sunday, one to be given in the
English language and one in the Nor
wegian.
Both languages will be used in every
connection with the church work so
no one needs to be barred on account
of inability to understand either Ian
guage. Also petty differences that
have been the cause of dividing the
church into the various branches will
be laid aside and while the organiza-
ton Is Independent of any of these
subdivisions it adheres strictly to the
Lutheran doctrines, and teachings, the
object of the union being the building
up of one good congregation.
The building on First avenue west,
formerly known as the United Church,
has been given over and will be the
home of the new organization. A pas
tor will be called who can give his
whole time to the city congregation.
A constitution and bylaws have been
adopted and the following officers
elected: Trustees, A. N. Eidness, F,
G. Hamre and J. o. Halverson; secre
tary, M. A. Aaen; treasurer, T. O.

bushels are worth much more for seed
than Is the grain that can be cleaned
