PRAISE FOR DECORAHIAN.
One of Our Well Known Citizens
Given Write Up i'm NOrthwOod
Paper.

The following article is taken from
last weeks Northwood Iowa. Index
and will be read with interest by the
many friends of Mr.. Hustvedt:
"Mr. H. B. Hustvedt of DEBORAH
was one of Northwood'sl distinguish
ed visitors of this week when he was
mainly the guest of his life long
friend, T. l.. bingham. Thirty-seven
years ago Mr.. H., then in his young
manhood, was serving the North
wood Synod congregation as its able
pastor. We well remember his good
work in the amendment campaign OF
1882. It was sometime that year
that his vocal cords failed him, an
he abandoned the active work of the
ministry to take position with the
Lutheran Publishing House and the
Poster of DEBORAH. We also think
been in ministerial, literary and edu-
cational work almost ever since. He
has certainly grown gray in the SER
vice, but we recognized him-as an
old friend almost at the first
glance. He has seven worthy child
rem, all engaged in honorable SER
vice. His oldest son, Prof. S. B. Hust-
|vedt, has fine position with the
University of Minnesota. Prof. H.
won his degree as Doctor of Philoso.
ply at Harvard, and later as winner
of the Parker travelling fellowship,
had the advantage of year of study
and travel in Europe, mainly in Eng
land, tho he spent some time in
Norway, Denmark and Germany, and
was glad enough to get out of the
last named country during the first
weeks of the war. Prof. H. utilized
this town as his birthplace, in 1881,
SO Northwood has claim on him
and his honors. Another son, Olaf
Mandt Hustvedt having the blood of
the Vikings in his veins, is a lieu
tenant Commander on board the
Battleship Utah, on service in the
English Channel. His wife is a
daughter of Judge Church of Homo
lulu. Thomas is an employee in
the DEBORAH postofiice, and Willie
the youngest boy, is in service in
France, if not already on German
soil, he being soldier of the fam
Gus third trmy. OF the three daugh
tiers of the Hustvedt family, one is
at home in DEBORAH and two are liv-
ing at Granite Falls, Mimi.
AS an old friend we secured this
information from most unassumins
man, by hard pumping. We pass 1t
on to other friends who will be glad
ito hear anything good, and who
would not expect to hear anything
else of the Hustvedt family.

in which the question went to the
voters, the last state being Louisin-

have voice in the 213 electoral
votes of the % states in which they
may vote. The victory in Oklahoma
is all the more gratifying to suffrage
workers, it is stated, because of the
difficult conditions there, it being re-
quired that the suffrage amendment
