CHURCH CENSUS SHOWS
INCREASED MEMBERSHIP
Census Shows an Increase Of
761,727 Church Members
During Past Year
(By United Prsss)

= New York, March 80. The church
membership of the United States
showed an increase Of 761,727 in
1921, according to complete official
figures to be printed in the Christian
Herald, April 1. This census of the
religious life of the United States
was made by Rev. H. K. Carroll.
The gain is an excess over that OF
667, 007 reported in 1920. The Chris
tian Herald will say: ~ +
" "Most of the denominations share
Baptist increases for 1921 were in
cluded, the total of gains in 1921
would almost certainly reach $780,
900. ,>.. .,..-->.s 81. 3
"The Salvation Army appears with
remarkable increase, 59,247. The
net gain of the Lutheran group is
about $4,000. The gain of the Rom
an Catholic church appears much
smaller than usual. In 1920 it was
127, $40; this year it is under $4,000,
the smallest figure reported in many
years. The Disciples of Christ reg
istered an advance of nearly $4,000.
"The Later-Day Saints, Utah
branch, gained $4,000 and the reor-
ganized branch 2,496. The increase
of the Protestant Episcopal church
is 5,768, which is rather under its
usual gain.
"The United Brethren in Christ
makes an advance of 1925 and the
Evangelical Association and United
Evangelical church of 4,617."
in the increase: The Methodist
group appears to have grown to the
remarkable extent Of nearly 800, 900.
Nearly a third Of this, however, is
credited to the Colored Methodist
Episcopal church. The Presbyterian
group advances by 62,649. IT. should
be noted that the Welsh Calvinistic
church disappears from the list Of
separate bodies this year, having
been merged in 1921 with the Nor
thern church. r."
Gin the Baptist group the three
large Baptist bodies, which are grow
ing rapidly, are represented by the
returns for 1920, for the reason that
their statistical year is the calendar
year and no figures for 1921 are
available. The Free Baptist body no
longer appears as a separate organ
ization. It has been in the process
of merging with the Northern Bap-
fist convention for several. years and
has now practically disappeared. If

GUERNSEY CATTLE WIN
FIGHT AGAINST SCRUB

& Guernsey cattle are rapidly taking
their place IN Beltrami county IN the
battle with the scrub. These cattle
were first highly developed on the
Island of Guernsey, which is second
in size of the Channel Islands, being
about nine miles long and four miles
wide. BY a long continued policy Of
excluding all cattle from the outside,
the stock Of this island has been built
up into a distinct breed. .5.. Il. b 4. \.
AS early as 1850, Guernseys were
brought to the United States and
have grown in favor in this country
ever since and have been materially
improved.
During the past year through the
leadership of the farm bureau, there
have been brought into this country
20 pure-bred guernsey bulls and
through the calf club, fathered by
the Security State Bank. 13 pure
bred guernsey females were brought
to Beltrami county. One of the cali
club members by the name of Audrey
Jondahl paid about $50 for hire calf
and refused $500 for her at the Nor
them Minnesota Fair last fall. This
shows that with good care and feed,
.pure-breds become very profitable.
@ Guernseys will bring to their own
ers health, wealth and prosperity. The
picture in come tion with this arti-
Gle Of Countess Pure, guernsey COW
that produced 18,626.9 pounds Of
milk and 1,103.9 pounds of butter
fat in one year. If such high pro-
ductiOn is, possible surely the aver
age production in Beltrami county
should be raised from $50 pounds Of
butter fat in AZ year to at least an
average Of 400 pounds in the next ten
years. ~. .ss-z>.5 y .r. 4.
One Of this community's progress
sive farmers recently said, 81 realize
that one Of the mistakes of my life
was not in making a start with Guern-
seys ten years sooner. Every one
should profit by the mistakes of
Others and get started now with at
least one pure-bred female provided
he has, a good barn, plenty of feed
and likes good live stock" ~
There is big demand for Guern-
sey milk because it contains rs per
cent more solids and Is per cent more
food value than ordinary milk Then
too, Guernsey milk and cream have
a pleasing color and flavor that are
not equalled by that of any other
COW. ~. +. E, ~ 4. :. t.ss
