N. D. BRIEFS

LaMoure - John Freyberger has
completed and shipped to Minnesota
for a tour of southern county fairs a
complete exhibit of crops grown IN
Marion vicinity. The exhibit includes
various grades of wheat, first and sec
Ond cuttings of alfalfa, clover, timo-
thy, bronze grass, fax, barley, rye
and corn in the ear.
Drake-The Missouri river division
of the 500 line, from Max to Sanish,
will deliver to Drake 100000 bushels
of No. 1 wheat, go per cent crop, &C
cording to Supt. Scott w. Derrick, up
from Bismarck on an inspection trip.
Braddock-F. r. Spriggs, living five
miles from Braddock, has worked up
his cream, which tested only 13 at tine
beginning of the season, to a point
where 1t is now averaging So, which
local cream buyers declare is probab-
ly as high as will be found in the
state. His last can of cream, weigh
ing seventy-fiVe pounds, brought him

ates his separator by the same power.
Bismarck-Reports from mobiliza-
ton camps indicate that local boards
are letting men go forward without
sending the necessary papers, in
charge of one OF their number, Prov
ost General Marshal Crowder today
advises the adjutant general. This
practice, he states, creates confusion,
and makes 1t difficult, IL not impossi-
BILE, to credit the local board for a
portion of its quota. So far as can be
learned, no local board in North Da-
kota has been guilty of such omission.

OF STATE MEET
ON OCTOBER 10
Meeting of Denominational
Leaders Held in Fargo
To Plan Features

OF the Presbyterian church of North
Dakota will be held in Devils Lake,
beginning the evening of Oct. 10, and
will continue through the following

expect will he one of the most sue
cessful ever held in the state.
Evangelism will get special atten-
ton in the approaching meeting, and
Rev. w. A. Erwin and associate
workers are making preparations for
a series of meetings in Devils Lake
and other cities of the state. having
the cooperation of Rev. P. E. Wells,
d. D.. Of Fargo, synOdical evangelist,
as we'll as the foreign and home mis-
sionary committee.
The Rev. w. H. Crothers, D. D., Of
New York city, will attend the synod
as the representative of the general
assembly's committee on evangelism.
The fact that Rev. ]. Wilbur Chao-
man. the world famed evangelist is
the honored moderator of the general
assembly this year, accounts for the
particular emphasis being given to
this phase Of church work by all Of
the synods of the denomination.

TWO LUTHERAN
CHURCHES WILL
MERGE SEPT. II
First and st. Paul's Con-
gregations Join in New
Church

The union of the congregations of
the First Lutheran and st. Pauis
Lutheran churches of Fargo, in ac-
cord with the merger plan by which
the United Lutheran, the Synod
Lutheran and the Hauges Lutheran
conferences were joined in the Gre
alton of the Norwegian Lutheran
church OF America, will be perfected
at joint meeting of the two con-
gregations on Monday, Sept. II.
The meeting at which the combin-
alton of the congregations will be
effected, will be held in the First
Lutheran church.
Each of the churches will hold it's
final service as an independent con-
gregation on Sunday, Sept. 16. On
that date, the pastors, Rev. E. r.
Anderson of the First Lutheran, and
Rev. c. Davick of St. Paurs Luther
an, will close their pastorates.
Rev. Mr.. Anderson some time ago
accepted a call rendered by the Mt.
Horeb, Wis, congregation of the
merged church, while Rev. Mr..
Davick has accepted the post of
financial secretary of the ministerial
pension fund for the North Da-
kota district Of the new church.
Some time ago, the two congrega-
tions appointed a call committee,
and that committee will make
recommendations to the new joint
congregation at the Monday evening
meeting.
Under the preliminary plans that
have been worked out, the new Far
go church will be known as the
First Lutheran church of Fargo.
In working out the merger of the
two churches, every branch of the
church work will be consolidated.
The Ladies' Aid societies of the two
churches will do their first work on
the new basis at the merger meet
ing, when they will join in serving
refreshments.
DR.. ]. A. Aasgaard president of
Concordia college, Moorhead, will at
tend the merger meeting and will be
the principal speakersin the evening.
In the organization of the new
congregation growing out of the
merger, there is a vast amount of
detail to care for, and it will require
several weeks before all features
are cared for.

Big CHANGES PLANNED IN
CONGREGATIONAL WORK
Plans for Coming Year Being FOrmu-
lated Rapidly-WiIl Organize
Patriotic League.

The people of the First Congrega-
tional church are nearly all back from
their summer vacation, and a large
congregation is expected tomorrow.
Last Tuesday the Women's union
had a well attended meeting, and dis
cussed plans of work for the coming
year, among other things arranging
to furnish a supper for the annual
meeting of the church, which occurs
Wednesday night, Sept. 10.
Plans are being considered in ref
erence to some radical changes in the
number and kind of Sunday services
which give promise of promoting
larger interest and more efficiency in
the work of the Sunday school. These
proposed changes will be acted upon
In view of the fact that these pos
sible changes may involve the union
of the Vesper service and the sunday
school service, 1t has been decided not
to resume the Sunday afternoon yes
per services until the whole matter
mas been acted upon.
DIR. Beard has been making a care
full study of the matter during mis-
vacation getting such light as was
possible from the experience of vari-
Gus strong churches throughout the
country. The main object to be gained
is the giving of the young people a
larger place in the work of the
church.
The preliminary steps have already
been taken for the organization of a
Church and Home Patriotic league.
One of it's first activities will be to
place a tablet or roll in some appro-
pirate place in the church containing
the names OF all the young men from
the church and congregation who
have gone into the war.
Besides remembering the soldiers
with small gifts at special seasons,
each soldier will receive a personal
letter from some member of the con-
gregation once a week-one week
from one person, another week from
another person. The letters will not
be written for the purpose of getting
answers-though any answers the
boys may have q chance to write win
be greatly approximation to keep
the boys In touch with things back
home, and to let them know their
friends are solidly back of them.

TAKES SUBJECTS FROM
HIS VACATION TRIP

Two unique subjects. drawn from
his vacation experiences. will be
discussed by Rev. Mr.. E. c. Ford,
pastor, at Plymouth Congregational
church Sunday. Rev. Mr.. Ford spent
his vacation in northern Minnesota,
part of the time in that region which
has been devastated by forest fires
this season.
The morning theme will be Forest
Fires" Text: 81 will kindle a fire
in her forest and it shall devour all
that is round about" The trip was
made largely by automobile. This
method of travel impresses a per-
son with the value of good roads.
The subject of the evening sermon
will be Roads" and the text, "A
Highway Shall Be There"
