whole milk to skim milk. The milk
ing was done under more sanitary
conditions and the milk and the cream
treated with greater care. In this
way the quality of the butter was
improved and the better product
brought better prices. With these
better prices the farmers had more
money with which to improve their
business. In this connection it IL
noteworthy that during the five-year
period covered by the article men,
toned, the number of silos in the
community was increased from seven
to fourteen.
In conclusion, the article points out
that, while the financial gain from
the work is the easiest to measure, it
was by no means the only, or even
the most important, part Of the to-
tai results from this experiment in
community development in dairying.
The improvement in the social condi-
tions and in the living conditions in
the farmhouses is not to be ignored,
although it is very difficult to meas
ure it.

CHAIN LETTERS
NOT PERMITTED
Postal Regulations Are Violated BY
Those Sending This Kind of APP
peals Thru Mails

Many Williston people may be in
nocent violaters Of the Of the postal
laws because of chan letter, or sew
eral for that matter that are going
the rounds in this vicinity. There is
severe penalty for this sort Of
thing and the Fargo Forum sums up
the matter in this way:
"Sending chain letters through the,
United States mail is a direct viola
ton of the United States postal reg
ulations and is punishable by fine and,
imprisonment. Yet Fargo is being,
flooded with these letters at the pres
ent time.
"Appeals are being made for many
worthy causes, and some that are
not worthy, and when such appeals
come many people do not like to
"break the chain" It is better, how
ever, to break the chain than break
the law but undoubtedly few people
realize that they are violating the
law when they send these letters out.
The United States government has
an unpleasant way of enforcing III
regulations, 1t seems to thing they
are made for that purpose and writ
ers of chain letters are in real dan.

presided. The most interesting event
of the day now took place in the ex-
animation Of the local pastor the Rev.
J. Chas N. Pengelly by the ordina-
tion council. Mr.. Pengelly was ask
ed to state his reasons for wishing to
be ordained into the Congregational
Church and also to present to the
large congregation assembled an out
line Of his religious experience. This
he did in a most impressive manner,
stating in positive way his faith in
the great principles Of the Christian
Religion, and his willingness to- be a
loyal worker in the spreading of the
Kingdom of God A few more ques-
tions were asked after he had spoken,
but his earnest statements had given
such satisfaction to all that the coun-
Gil without further hesitation voted
to accept Rev. Pengelly for ordina-
ton.

a stirring sermon preached by Rev.
j. w. Anderson, pastor of Minot Con-
gregational church; his subject being
"The Manhood and Heroism of the
Master" in which the preacher brot
out very forcibly the heroic element
that is to be found in Christianity.
After the sermon Mr.. A. M. Hauser
sang "Like as the Heart desireth. -
A Communion service followed.
At the Wednesday morning session
several new delegates were register
ed. Delegates gave three minute re-
ports of the condition Of their re-
spective churches: In nearly all

Congregational Churches gave a most
inspiring address on Congregational
ism in the State, showing how the
work has grown and what great
things are to be hoped for in the fu-
ture.

by the Church choir as well as the

which were. present assembled on the
pulpit platform, the minister to be
ordained kneeling in the center, all
the ministers placed their hands on
the head of the candidate while the
Rev. c. M. Christianson of Drake, Of
fered in an impressive and beautiful
way the ordination prayer. The
charge to the candidate was made by
D.. Hall the venerable missionary to
the indians, who in beautiful words
gave a hopeful message to the young
minister based upon long life in
the ministry Of Jesus Christ. The
Rev. W. X. Bloom extended the right
hand of Ministerial fellowship to Mr..

go gave the charge to the people.

The Convention will be held this
year in Fargo, June 20-22. Plans are
already being worked out, to make
this one of the best conventions in
the history of the state. A strong
committee of the best Sunday School
workers in Fargo and vicinity has
been appointed, with H. P. Beckwith,
of the Northern Savings Bank, as
General Chairman. This committee
is meeting regularly, and are max
ing thorough preparations for the
convention.
The big Auditorium will be the
home of the convention, but various
churches of the city will be used as
conference places. A program of un-
usual strength is being prepared. An
effort is being made to have less
speakers than last year, but to have
every one of them to be Of the very
highest order. 1t is safe to say that
there never has been program pre-
sented to the Sunday School workers
of North Dakota, that will equal in
strength, theapproaching convention.
Full list Of speakers for this conven-
tion will be ready for announcement
shortly. /.
The interest of the convention viii
be greatly increased from the fact
that the northwestern counties of
Minnesota will cooperate. Arrange
ments have been perfected with the
Minnesota Sunday School Associa-
tion, whereby a special effort will be
made to bring all the workers in the
northwestern counties of the state to
Fargo for the convention, and spe-
cial conference will be held for them
some time during the convention. A.
M. Locker, General Secretary Of the
Minnesota Association will have a
part on the. program Of the conven-
tion, as we'll as meet his own work.

Farmers who are in the territory
of the Williston Cooperative cream
cry will be interested in the follow
ing account of what cooperation of
the right kind did for creamery in
Iowa. The government man referred
to is not employed by this creamery
but it is very probable that when the
affairs of the creamery here are
brought to the right point man for
this work will be secured, whether
he is to be a government man or an
expert from elsewhere would make
no difference.
Manager Erickson is doing great
deal of the work that government
man would be called on for and more
help along this line would very like
ly produce the same results as the
Iowa farmers secured. Here is the
story:
What can be accomplished in dairy
districts by community action is in
dicated in an article in the 1916 Year
book of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. In this article
the results Of five years work in an
Iowa community are discussed in de-
tail. During that period, it is said,
the net profits to the patrons of a
small creamery were increased from
$4,000 in 1911 to $9,643 in 1915. For
the five-year period the total net
profits were increased $32, 1859. Against
this increase there is to be charg-
ed only the salary and expenses OF
the government field man, which
amounts to $11,196. AS a result,
therefore, of the development Of the
work the community received in the
course of five years $20,973 more than
it otherwise would have done.
These increased profits were OBJ
tanned by the elimination of unprofit
able cows, the introduction of better
bulls, more improved feeding meth
DDS, and placing on the market pro-
ducts of better quality. The growing
of such feeds as clover, alfalfa and
silage corn reduced the cost Of milk
production, and the herds received
more adequate shelter and better
water supply in the winter, thus be-
ing enabled to give satisfactory yields
of milk through larger portion of
the year.
Progress in these directions is to
be attributed chiefly to the influence
of the field man among the farmers.
1t was under his directions that the
farmers began to give serious atten-
ton to the problems Of feeding for
large and economical milk production.
He also introduced the practice of
keeping production records for each
cow and of eliminating all animals
that reacted to the tuberculin test.
The expense of raising calves was re-
duced by shifting them earlier from
