DR.. 0. |. OLSON
H0NORED FRIDAY
President of Luther College Has
Rounded Out His Fiftieth Birth
day and Was Given
Pleasing Surprise.
HAS BEEN PROMINENT
IN CHURCH AND COLLEGE
Has Typified All That Luther College
Attempts to Develop. Popu-
lar and Well Liked by All.

On Friday, Feb. 3rd, DR.. Oscar l.
Olson acting president of the college
celebrated his fiftieth birthday. In
the evening the faculty and student
body assembled in Loyalty Hall
where a short program had beer
prepared in his honor. DR.. Olson
was entirely unaware of the plans
and when, by a succession of subter-
fuges, he was finally brought onto
the scene, his surprise was complete.
Being requested to say few words,
he responded to the ovation which
was given him on his, entrance in
a few fitting words.
After refreshments had been serv-
ed, DR.. Gjerset was introduced. In
behalf of himself and his colleagues
and the student body he welcomed
the guest of honor and congratulated
him on the occasion. He showed
how DR.. Olson typified all of that
which was most desirable in the kind
of personality which Luther College
attempts to develop. Since his stu
dent days at the college when he was
the most prominent athlete in the
school he has been a strong man
physically. At the college and in
the city as we'll as in the church
which he has served most of his life
he has won an enviable reputation as
a scholar and orator of marked abil-
ity. He has supplemented his ma
tural endewnments with deep seat
ed conviction to the value of hard
work. All of his abilities he has
given ursslfishly to the institution
v19Icn ns@@Tras servcd durifig aini9s'
all of the years of his life since
he grew to manhood, for many years
as a teacher and now as its admin
strative head. DR.. Gjerset concluded
his remarks by presenting Or. Olson
with a gold headed umbrella as
mark of esteem from the faculty.
Oscar Rem of the sophomore class
won a place in the eastern divisional
oratorical contest which was hello
at Iowa Wesleyan College at Mt
Pleasant, Friday evening, the third
Placing in this contest entities Mr.
Rem to compete in the state contest
which will be held at Upper Iowa
University next month. Mr.. Rem'S
success is due largely to the strenu'
Gus efforts of Prof. Tale, the foren'
sizes coach, who has worked continu'
ally for month preparing Mr.. Rem
for the contest.
Luther engaged in another forensic
contest on Friday evening when the
preparatory debating team won
unanimous decision over the team
representing Luther Academy of AL
bert Lea, MINI. The Props defended
the negative Of the question of feder
al operation of railroads and wer
represented by Paul Olson of thi
city, Carl Lucky of Parkland, Wash
and Amin Johnson of Capron, Ill
Both of the coaches were Luther Col
lege men, Prof. David Nelson Of tn
class of 1912 coaching the Props an
Olaf Malmin of the class of l92
coaching the Academy team.

additions to their building at 100
Broadway which cost in the neigh
borhood of four millions Of dollars,
and has doubled the size of the
building. The interior of the old
building was remodeled to conform
with the additions which were built
in the shape of an l. around it. All
this was done while the old tenants
remained in the building, and as one
part was finished these tenants were
moved to another part, while the
old part was remodeled. | simply
mention this to show what can be
accomplished when an emergency
exists, because a couple of years ago
there was a great lack of Office space
in the financial district. The Amer
ican Surety Company, the owners of
this magnificent building, employ
about 600 girls, who work type
writer's and bookkeeping machines,
as all this work is entirely done by
machines, especially built. The en-
ployees of this company receive their
lunch free of charge, in a restaur-
ant which is situated on the top
floor of the building, and the roof
is built so that it is used also for the
recreation of the employees who
spend a little time there getting
fresh air after luncheon. Giving
this free lunch keeps the employees
off the street and makes for effici-
ency and better service. Another
splendid thing which these big con-
Germs do for their help is that they
have a room fitted up like a hospital
in charge of a nurse and doctor, who
are there constantly to give any at
tention to their people that may be
necessary, and there is never any
charge for this service.
To show you the enormous rentals
, that are paid, one of the large banks
: occupying five floors in this build
ing, pays a rental of about $1,000
. per day, on a very long lease. The
vault is located in the sub-basement
and is almost two stories high and

After a very pleasant trip on

that an almost summer rain was
helping the street cleaning depart
ment to get rid of the snow and
slush, as there was a heavy snow

notice the department in this line of
work is using Il great many plows

used by farmers at home to push
the snow into heaps and then cart
it to the sewer openings into the
river This method has only been
in vogue since the war and saves
thousands of dollars in every storm,

Tomorrow will be another Golden
Rule Sale Day in Lakeland. These
Wednesday events are increasing III
interest from weel; 10 week, and
the merchants of the Lakeland Al
Club who arc directly concerned with
putting on this trade event are more
and more gratified not only with the
direct results obtained but because
OF the promotion OF a splendid spirit
Of good Will and understanding with
the people of the surrounding terri
cory.
lhe code of ethics practiced by the
members of the Ad Club is of such
q high type that il is bound to raise
the standard OF commercial practices
among the members and inure TO the
benefit of trade conditions generally
in Lakeland. The Ad Club desires
to emphasize the fact that the special
Inducements offered on Golden Rule
Sale Day are not only genuine bar
gains, but are more than that, gen
eral expression of a desire to be OF
service and to attract attention to
Lakeland's unequalled facilities for

is told Of a tremendous acreage Of

CENSUREOF STRAHL
IS URGED1N COURT
Charges Of Unethical Appeal
by Justice to Voters Are
Argued.

The Brooklyn Bar Association and the
State Bar Association asked the Appel
late Division of the Supreme Court yes
terday TO censure Justice Jacob S. Strahl
of the Municipal Court for what they
termed conduct tending TO prejudice the
administration of Justice" because OF a
post card distributed in his behalf during
the last campaign. The hearing was
upon a complaint made recently by the
Brooklyn association and IN which the
State association now joins.
The card depicted Justice Strahl on
the bench and before him stood pig
woman. and child of humble circum-
stances.
II refuse to evict this tenant" the
card read. Justice Strahl has stopped
dispossess evictions. Elect Justice Strahl
to the Supreme Court to protect you"
Briefs were presented by Samuel RI.
Ordway for The State associat. on and
by Mortimer w Byers for the Brooklyn
association,
The postals were Objectionable for
two rea sons" said Mr.. Byers. They
circulated the Idea that Justice Strahl
had decided certain class of cases not
fairly and impa rtially but in favor o.
one c,ass o. litigants and against
this was a reason why Justice Strahl
should be promoted TO the SUPP eme
Court bench. The committee felt that
the postals constituted conduct which
should receive the censure of the count" F"
Fomer Justice AImet f. jerks. de-
Tending Justice Strahl, said the postals
were Issued after the passare OF the
emergency rent -laws which denied the
relief of eviction TO a profiteerng land
lord. Justice Strahl was merely rep
resented as doing what the statutes en-
Joined upon him TO do
All the most, added counsel. Justice
Strahl had been guilty of Jack of good
taste His integrity as lawyer judge
and citizen were not questioned.
Justice jerks deplored the present
system under which judicial candidates
must gosabout TO where there Is jazz

smile" The candidate who sulks in
his tent while his opponent goes about
and obtains votes is defeated. he added
Samuel Untermyer also OF counsel,
thought the changes were almost frivoI-
ous." and added There was nothing
