WRITES ROMANCE OF NORTHLAND Author, James Oliver Curwood, Took Literary Work at ilicliigau "God's Country and the Women" is the title of a romance recently pub- lished by James Oliver Curwood, of Owosso, Mich. It is a powerful book 'of the tales of the Northland, written in the spirit and mood of the wilder- ness. Mr. Curwood attended the uni- versity from 1898 to 1900, taking liter- ary work, but did not graduate. Mr. Curwood was formerly a news- paper man in Detroit, and it was while at this work that his short stories of the far north attracted attention. His stories deal with plots developed and carried on in the border country, in which the author is accustomed to spend his entire summers. It is said that Mr. Curwood has more friends and acquaintances in the northern woods, than the trappers and traders themselves. Louis N. Parker's comedy, "Poman- der Walk," will be presented by the Comedy club Saturday, February 6, at 2:15 o'clock, in the Whitney theater. Arrangements have been completed for the whirlwind visit of the "Flying Squadron of America", which comes to Ann Arbor this week in the interest of PRICE FIVE LOOT OF BUR6LI AMOUNTS TO S Professor King Loses VaLuables $000 Besides $100 in Cas Thieves Apparently Professionals PHI RHO SIGMA FRATERNIT ENTERED AND $8.38 5' Clumsy Yegg Wakes up Strikes Matches, and Overl Diamond Ring Two robberies were commit Ann Arbor Sunday night, wh residence of Prof. Horace W..

In order that fraternities, house clubs, and other groups may be sup- plied with blocks of seats, all who de- sire may make reservations by coin- municating with R. H. Tannahill, '15.

The general sale of seats will begin Wednesday, February 3, at; Wahr's, and continue until the day of the show, when the sale will be trans- ferred to the box office at the Whitney.
