Thousands Flock to B BEAUTY SPOT NORTH OF MERCER IS FILLED WITH AUTO PARTIES Half There for Sunday Lunch, Outing and Bathing, Oth- ers Join in Worship EASTERN LEADERS THERE Assemblies of 600 Each Morn- ing and Four Classes In- structed Each Day Brush Lake. 52 miles north of Bis- marck, water resort of the town of Mercer, was a sort of religious Chau- tauqua Sunday. Fully 2.000 persons gathered there, half of these to at- tend the closing services of the week by the German Baptists of the north- ern district of North Dakota, the other half present on Sunday lunch and bathing outings by automobile. In the big pavilion where, for a week, the Baptists had held forth in &@ series of meetings conducted by visiting leaders of the denomination, 1,000 gathered in two services, one of & preaching character in the forenoon, the other a young people's meeting, with dialogues, solos, quartets and recitations, in the afternoon. Outside, along the driveways over the grounds, fleets of automobiles were parked several rows deep. Down ‘at the lakeside and over on the “peninsula” lunch parties gathered under the shading trees. At the foot of the lake scores bathed in the sandy-bottomed waters. At the refreshment booth William Morris and wife fed hundreds. They had been serving the Baptists regular meals all week. The young people par- ticipating in or attending the services remained on the grounds all week. A part of the auditorium was screened off for the women, and the men used the former kitchen of the pavilion as sleeping quarters, spreading blankets on straw. It all was very much like an eastern campmecting. Leaders From East Here The leaders who conducted the week's daily services included Rev. A. P. Mihm, editor of the Baptist Herald, Forest Park, ll.; Prof. F. W. C. Meyer, Rochester, N. Y.; Rev. J. F. Olthoff, Madison, S. and Rev. J. C. Schweitzer, Cathay, N. D. These held four classes cach morn- ing, with an average of 90 attending, while 600 attended each morning as- sembly of the week. These class2s were taught by the visiting leaders. Services in the evening closed the days. Sunday morning Rev. A. P, Mihm delivered the sermon, based on the text, John 3:1-3. In the afternoon the Program consisted of a missionary play, “Robert and Mary,” by the Pleasant Valley society, in which 15 persons participated; a vocal solo by Mrs. J. C. Schwéitzer, Cathay; a se- lection by the Washburn male quar- tet, made up of Otto Schultz and family; a duet, Emma and Alma Hoff of Rosenfeld; recitations, Miss Mantz of Tabor and Hilda Dieterly of Ro- senfeld; vocal duet by Agnes and Helen Zubert, Rypka; a selection by the Fessenden male quartet, F. P. Paul, Walter Paul, A. V. Zuber and W. F. Strobel; recitation by Miss Stambaugh, Pleasant Valley; and a dialogue by two young women from ‘Tabor. Elected Officers ‘The young people organized their eociety for the ensuing year by clect- ing Adam V. Zuber, Fessenden, presi- dent; A. L. Felchle, Goodrich, vice president; and Mrs. J. C.

Is a Beauty Spot The Brusi. Lake resort is one of the beauty spots of North Dakota. It lies to the north of Mercer. The lake is three miles around and a mile from end to end. A peninsula juts into the body of water from the north and makes an ideal lunching spot. There are sheltered tables under the trees on the lake shore, launches on the water, a fine bath house at the east- ern end of the lake, and the waters are filled with fish, mainly perch of Pound to pound-an half size. Further improvements are being made by the community association of Mercer and the surrounding coun- try. Nels A. Fibelstad is president of the association, and Theodore Knud- son secretary. The tract includes the lake and <bout 146 acres of land. \ AT THE MOVIES | e CAPITOL THEATRE Although the Fox Movietone pro- duction, “Speakeasy,” is an all-talking picture, there are many tuneful mo- ments furnished by virtue of Sharon Lynn's vocal talents and Henry B.

A great deal of the action takes place in one of New York's world fa- mous thirst quenching palaces and Miss Lynn portrays the character of Maizie, entertainer, and Walthall ‘takes the role of Fuzzy, piano player ‘tHE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, MONDAY, JULY 1, 1929 rush Lake as Baptists End Week’s Services - - - By George Clark | “Dorothy, stop jumping around like that!

In 1928, several interesting district playoffs were staged and the state tournament at Minot, which was won by Linton, was @ huge success. The brand of play, however, should be even better this year as the ma- jority of the teams were organized at the first sign of favorable baseball weather, and the boys have been prac- ticing diligently since.

D., July 1.—With approxi- mately 90 teams, and possibly more, enrolled, plans are now going forward for the district regional and state tournaments which will decide the 1928 North Dakota American junior baseball champion. The tournaments are being organ- ized under the direction of Clarence Jenson, once a star pitcher for the North Dakota.

Kriebs, state secretary of agriculture. It is noticeable, he says, that most of the snowdrifts in the road are found where meadows or plowed fields lie on the north and west sides. If corn were planted there and a five to 10-acre strip of stalks or high stub- ble left standing, winds from the north and west would pile the snow against them instead of sweeping it out into the highways. Besides acting as a snow fence, the stalks would hold moisture where it 4s most needed. Land contiguous to highways drains rapidly.
