Elsewhere in this issue we speak
of the onions of Hume and Miller
which yielded the sum of S12 BUSH
els TO the acre. However, Gilbert
sons onions, some of the finest
onions ever grown on ground that
was not irrigated, are going at the
rate of 1880 bushels to the acre.
OF course the whole SO acres are
not yielding at that rate, though all
are good. We believe this is about
the largest yield ever recorded in
the state of Iowa or any other state
on unirrigated ground. The Gil
bertsons have already made a move
which speaks much for st. Ansgar.

WILL MAKE TEST CASE.
Court Will Decide Whether Woman
Has Recovered From Nor
phine Habit or Not.

Judge Springer, the new judge in
the 18th district has cited Supt. APP
plegate Of the state hospital at Mt.
Pleasant TO bring before him at New
Hampton this week one Mrs. Addie,
on habeas corpus to show cause why
he should longer detain her. In eff
feet it will be an appeal from the
superintendent to the Judge as to
whether or not the woman has been
cured of the morphine habit for
which she was committed. The
courts have taken the position that
they and not the superintendent of
the hospitals, should be the judge
as to whether or not an inmate sent
there to remain until cured" is in
fact cured of whatever ailment has
afflicted him. This was done by a
court in Scott county, and the case
has been appealed. 1t is probable
that If the courts continue in their
present methods the legislature will
at least provide that the cases must
be brought in the court nearest to
the institution instead of requiring
that patients be taken across the
state to appear in court merely at
the demand of a lawyer.

PRES. H. G. STUB is HoNoRED.
Head OF Norwegian Synod Completes
Forty Years OF Service and Is
Signally Honored BY Amer
leans and by the King
of Norway.

Minneapolis, Sept. 16. - Forty
years of service as teacher and pas
tor in the Norwegian Synod were
completed last Sunday by Prof. Hans
G. Stub, president of the Synod, and
the occasion was celebrated in a
festive service Sunday morning in
Our Saviour's church, the same
church in which Prof. Stub was or
dained to the ministry 40 years ago.
The event was made additionally
memorable by the receipt Monday by
Prof. Stub of the announcement of
his appointment to the office of com
mander in the Order of st. Olaf, the
highest honor that can be paid to
an American by the king of Norway.
The sermon at the festive service
Sunday morning was preached by
Rev. j. w. Preus. pastor of the
church, who after the sermon pre-
sented Prof. Stub with a memorial
signed by the pastor and members of
the congregation. A similar docu-
ment signed by Norwegians from
various parts of the country was
presented by Prof. Gisle Bothne.
Greetings were adso extended to
Prof. Stub from Rev. l.. A. Johnston,
president of the Swedish Lutheran
Augustana Synod; Rev. b. B. joins
son, president of the Icelandic Synod
and Rev. NJ. j. Hanson, president of
the Hauge Synod. Congratulatory
kilograms were read from Foreign
Minister Byrn, the Norwegian am
bassador to the United States, and
Bishop Boeckman of the Trondhjem
cathedral in Trondhjem, Norway
Prof. Stub remained six years as
pastor of Our Saviour's church after
his ordination, and was then called
to the Lutheran Seminary of Wis
consin, where he remained for ten
years. He then came to Robbins
dale, Mimi, and taught in Luther
Seminary eight years until the build
ing burned, when he was transferred
to the church at DEBORAH, Iowa,
where he spent four years.
When the new Luther seminary
was established in the Hamline dis
trict in 1900, Prof, Stub took charge
and has remained here since. In
1911 he succeeded Rev. ". Koren,
deceased, as president of the synod
of America. When James j. Hill
offered the seminary $4,000 on
condition that an additional 5000, :.
900 be raised, Prof Stub took
charge of the campaign for an en-
dowment and succeeded in pledging
$4,000 to the college.

Mr.. Larson's parents brought him

Reindeer i'm Alaska.

During the ten years between 1892
and 1902 the United States bureau
of education introduced 1889 Euro
pean reindeer into Alaska, where the
natives were threatened with STAR
walton owing to the destruction OF
the once abundant American rein
deer, or caribou. The success of the
undertaking has been remarkable
These herds now number 1888
head and they are increasing rapidly
Their meat is in great demand by
both whites and natives and their
skins supply the best winter clothing
1t is expected that the expectation
of reindeer meat will soon become
an important industry. Above all
the reindeer has proved a most eli
