FIRST
BAPTIST Church IS
HALF CENTURY old
Organized Dec. 20, 1881, With
Six Members and Two
Baptism Candidates

Organization Of tho First Baptist
church Of Bismarck was effected Dec.
20. 1881, with six members and two
candidates for baptism.
In charge Of the organization de-
tails was Rev. J. r. Deckard, who was
pastor for the first five years.
In observance Of the golden ami
versary Of this church, colorful COM
memoration ceremony was conducted
by the present congregation Dec. 70,
20 and 81, 1881.
Rev. Deckard was q great believer
In the Northwest and spent consid-
cradle time corresponding with pros
pective settlers for this section. He
also wrote for Chicago newspapers &C.
counts Of this new territory.
Bismarck then was only q village,
having no buildings north Of Rosser
avenue. Having no church building,
the pioneer Baptists here held their
services In the fire hall, an old two
story frame building on Fourth st.
near Thayer avenue.
Attendance at the services ranged
from Is to 20 persons. Among those
attending the first services were Mr..
and Mrs. Ed Sloan, Mr.. Loughbaugh,
the Marsh, Craven, and Jacob Fields
families. In the winter Of 1885-1886,
revival services were conducted In the
church building at Fourth st. and
Avenue B, and q number were hap
tized at that, including Frank Falk-
enstein, Olive Falkenstein (Mrs. Chas.
staley), Will and Harry Healy, Mrs.
Wilton, and w. A. Craven.
Young People Organise
An early class Of young persons,
called the seed sowers," was instruct
ed by Mr.. Healy. This class had .
large banner, which was draped on
the west wall Of the church.
In 1906, while services were being
held in the church, fire broke out and
destroyed the structure. The old
building faced Avenue B but the
church which was built In its place
and still Is in use faces Fourth st.
The new church building was dedi-
Gated July 23, 1907, after its MEM
bers had been without q church home
for more than q year. The dedication
sermons were preached by Rev. o. A.
Williams, Minneapolis, Rev. F. r. MIL
Ter, and Rev. Myron Cooley. Rev. r.
r. Stanton, now Of Warren, O., was
pastor at the time Of the dedication.
Membership Of the church at pres
ent Is 204, according to Rev. Jackson.
The Bismarck church was host to
North Dakota Baptist ministers ct
their annual conference from Feb. Is
to 10, 1882, while early in the fall Of
1892 the church entertained the North
Dakota state convention Of the Bap-
tist church.

Feed Less Grain, More Rough
age; Produce Less Milk,
Make More Money

Results Of experimental work by
the y. s. bureau Of dairy industry, to-
gether with observations Of dairy
farming methods In many areas
through such OF its agencies as the
y. s. Northern Great Plains dairy
station, four miles south Of Mandan,
suggest that it is possible to produce
less milk on the farm and at the
same time obtain a greater profit.
Information gathered indicates that
many farmers would find 1t advan-
tageouS to change their system Of
farming to one in which they would
keep most Of their land In perman-
ent grass and legumes, and feed very
little. II any, grain. Pastures and
other roughage would be the basal ra-
ton. and grain would be fed only
when the resulting increase In pro-
ductdon could be obtained at q pro-
fit. When prices for milk and but
terfat are low, more dependence
would be put on the roughage ration.
with = lower but more profitable pro-
ducti0n.
Farming and feeding according to
this system would contribute to the
dairy farmers income In two ways,
1t Is found. First, 1t would enable
him to produce milk at the lowest
cost. and. second, it would reduce the
amount OF milk going to an already
overloaded market.
Proof at Mandan Station
At the Mandan station two cows,
which were fed nothing but alfalfa
hay for q total Of five lactation per-
sods, produced satisfactorily and re-
produced normally. On March 10,
1894, one cow, Herd No. H-64, COM
pleted her third lactation period on
alfalfa alone. Her production during
tho 365-day lactation period just
completed was approximately 10000
pounds Of milk, containing about 375
pounds Of butterfat, which Is equival-
ent to 400 pounds Of butter.
Results Of the bureaus experiments
show that the best cows rank ct the
top regardless Of whether they are on

been tipped off that "whiskey caravan" was coming through.
 Far ahead Nreasting one of those rolling swells, an automobile came into sight. With languid eye the State Trooper stopped over to make a minor adjustment to the motor feed-line. which had been giving trouble and when he straightened up again he was surprised to see that the approaching car was much nearer the spot at which he had halted than was possible with any regard for the State Speed Law.
 Officer Watson started to swing his motorcycle around to the road. But before he could complete the maneuyer the onrushing car came hurting by. the sole occupant crouched over the wheel like man racing against death.
 The State Troopers whistle sounded in frantic blasts as his motor roared into action and be darted after the reckless driver. Somewhat to his surprise. his shrill warnings were needed. The car ahead came to. swaying. screech ing halt, with brakes squealing and skidding tires scoring the road.
 Officer Watson sailed majestically alongside the driver and rested one foot on the running board. The car was a glea ming brown coupe of ex. pensive make, with an. unusually powerful motor under it's hood. The window at the left was down. de. spite the nipping chill of the air. and the drivers head and shoulders projected. awaiting the Troopers approach.
 Watson saw distinguished looking gentleman of early middle age, his fine. clear-cut features graced by a meticulous moustache and goatee. His face was vaguely familiar to the Trooper. but the Ii. censeplate on the machine bore no sacred numerals.
 However. the Trooper did not bring forth any of the tir1e-honored greetings between traffic officer and speedster. such as. Say. where d'you think you're goin'?" or Where's the fire?" Instead. he Tipped open his little book and pro duced a pencil stub from the band of his cap. "Well. Mister. what's the story this timer" he inquired with a deceptive show of patience.
 THE drivers reply was as calmly uttered as his heavy and Ia. bored breathing would permit. His sceks were whipped with color and
 nvhn.ed breath formed frosty

 Dufresne saluted. No gun. OfH, cer, and no liquor" W
 Watson saluted. That's o. K., MT. Dufresne. If meet any cars coming this way I'll look them over carefully. You'll hear from us.
 Less than fifteen minutes drive along the undulating road brought Dufresne into the quiet town of Edge Hill. He drove directly to the Police Station and drew up at the curb.
 Dufresne walked briskIy up the cemented path and entered the building. He turned into a room to the right of the corridor. marked Roll Room" A rookie policeman was busy at typewriter. filling In some tabulated form. The young officer looked up inquiringly.
 ''Is Captain Robinson here?"
 The Captain was indeed in his office. with the door ajar. and, hear ing his name spoken. looked out. Recognizing his visitor. he advanced smilingly to shake hands.
 Well. well, MT, Dufresne." he beamed. what brings you out here?"
 "Trouble!" was the terse answer.
 Captain Robinson noted the gen. uine gravity of his visitors de meanor. and his face became seri- ous at once. Come in here." he tn- vited, motioning toward his office.
 Now, Captain. take a good long look out that window. don't want to cause you any embarrassment in you line of duty"
 The rotund police chief chuched as he obeyed this whimsical order. He went to the window. turning his back on the room. He heard little gurgling noises behind him, fol. lowed by a smothered cough. When he turned around Dufresne was just slowing away flat silver flask in the inside pocket of his overcoat.
 'I needed that" he observed. "So would you. Robinson. if you'd just had my experience. Come outside with me for a minute. want to show you something" tSs They walked out to the car.

 There were three shots before l pulled out of range" the driver ex. plained That first one nearly got me! After that put on speed. but heard the others hit the car. Let's | look"
 An investigation soon revealed the course of the other bullets. One had slithered off the left door. the gouged brown enamel marking Its path, while the third had splintered one corner of the luggage grid. Off cer Watson looked with renewed in- terest at this dapper man who had ridden through a deadly ambush. Did you catch sight of the shooter?" he asked.
 The motorist looked at him indig- nantly. Do you suppose would get out and look for this armed person who was trying to murder me?" he demanded with biting sarcasm. "l kept going at top speed. There were no other cars in sight and saw no one by the roadside" he added. in more reasonable tones.
 The Trooper posed his usual ques- tion. "Got any liquor in that carr"
 See here, Officer" Dufresne pro tested vigorously. "this is ridicu- lous. You'd be far more usefully em- ployed in going back along that road and trying to catch the person who takes pot shots at passing cars. This was no careless boy with an air rife.
