According to /. M. Stainback, attor-
ney general, the failure OF the senate
to confirm the appointments OF Dis
trict Magistrates Joseph G.. Anjo, OF
Makawao; H. E. Palakih of Hama,
and Philip Pail Of Lahaina, has no
weight. In a written opinion the
attorney general finds that when the
several magistrates were appointed
there was no provision for their being
confirmed by the senate. This provi'
sion was made by the 1917 legislature,
and consequently cannot be retroac-
tive. The appointments were made
for two years, and the subsequent
legislation does not effect them.

1917 Wheat Yield
Far Below Normal

Washington, June 9.-America's
1917 wheat crop as forecast by the
department of agriculture will fall
far below normal despite pro
spect for a more than ordinary
yield of spring wheat.
A total yield estimated at &c.
100000 bushels will give the
country 100000 more bushels
than last years crop, but with the
heavy demands from abroad and
virtually no reserve store, it will
not meet war needs unless the
country practices the most rigid
economy.
The department forecast a spring
crop of 283,0O0,0O0 bushels, big
yield but estimates of winter wheat
production give a crop of only $751;
100000 bushels 100000 more
than was forecast from the May l
condition but still far from the
normal yield.
Herbert C. Hoover, who will be
food administrator under the food
controbill pending in congress. es-
Inmates the Allies needs this year
at 1,0OO,O0O,000 bushels of grain,
most of it to come from the United
States and Canada.
The short wheat crop means this
country will have to cut its wheat
consumption if it exports anywheat
since the United States itself
normally uses more than 100000
600 bushels.
At the beginning of 1916 there
were 100000 bushels on hand
carried over from the previous
years record crop.
Relief is seen in the better show
ingithis year in the forecasts of rye,
which will be a record crop, and
oats and barley.
A large corn crop also undoubt-
edly will be grown in response to
the repeated requests from gov
eminent officials for increased
production.

Lutheran Church
Formally United

} In the largest meeting of Nor
wegian Lutheran churchmen ever
held, the three large church organ
izations of America, separated for
81 years by minor theological diff
ferences, today united in one great
church organization to be known
as the Norwegian Lutheran Church
of America.
The formal union of the organ
izations, bringing into one fold
more than 5000 congregations and
hundreds of educational and other
organizations followed a parade of
5000 delegates of three organiza-
lions from the St.Paul armory to
the St.Paul Auditorium, where the
union took place.
There, following an assembly in
which the churchmen pledged the
loyalty OF the greater body to
America, and prayed for American
success in the war, the new Nor
wegian Lutheran Church of Amer
lea was formed by a merger of the
United N orweg ian Lutheran
Church of America, the Norwegian
Lutheran synod, and Hauge'sN Nor
wegian Lutheran synod.
After a program in which Gov
ernor ]. A. A. Burnquist and others
participated the convention elected
temporary officers, preparatory to
the choice of permanent officers
later in the day.
Bishop T. H. Dahl of Minneapo-
lis, veteran head of the United
church organization, was made
temporary chairman, and Bishop
H. G. Stub, long secretary of the
Norwegian Lutheran Synod of
A m erica, temporary secretary,
These, with Bishop C. J. Eastwood
Of Hauge's synod, addressed the
convention before election declar-
ing the day the greatest in the
history of the Lutheran church in
America.
At 500 a. m. three branches of
Norwegian Lutherans which have
been severed from each other for
y years and which have been hav-
ng separate conventions in St.Pau
or the last three days, assembled
n St.Paul Armory and marched in
IN epoch-making procession to the
,t.Paul Auditorium.
The members of Hauge'S Nor
vegian Lutheran synod assembled
n the second floor of the arrnory;
members of the Norwegian Luth-
ran synod assembled at the right
n the first floor and members of
he United Norwegian Lutheran
hurch assembled at the left of the y
irst floor of the Armory.
The procession left the armory
9 a. m. Houge's synod led, with
ne Norwegian synod second, and
ne United church bringing I'D the
ear. Pastors and d legates
larched eight abreast. The Amer
an flag was carried at the head
the lines. Pastors and official
elegates were the only ones per-
lifted to march in the procession.
Thousands of visitors, in St.Paul
n the conventions, gathered in
lie Auditorium before the process
n reached the building. The
1ors were closed at $50 a. m. and
ON then on were opened to no
lie save those who were in the
irade.

promptly at 10 a. m.
At exactly the same hour church

It Is Estimated That Only
 75 Per Cent Steel Mill
 Capacity Is Now Active

New York. December 15.--With govern. ment acquisitions for steel increasing. steel authorities have estimated today that on account of freight congestion and adverse weather situation. approx imately only 75 per cent of the countrys steel mill capacity is active.
 Low temperatures and wind and snow storms have reduced the fuel supply neces- sary to maintain the mills in operation, it was pointed out, with the result that many blast furnaces are being banked, some mills being closed entirely. and others running only fnternittently.
