is BESIEGED
BY Norwegians as the Re-
suit Of a Joker's
Story.

Congressman Stevenson has
been busy answering exciting
questions from Norwegians of
Crookston relative to the story
which gained currency that men
were being shipped to the old
country to take part in the
probable war with Sweden, and
that 81, 900 and all expenses was
being paid every man who en-.
listed in the cause. It was limited
by the party of practical jokers
who set the yarn atloat that Con
gresham Stevenson and other
prominent Norwegians of this
section of the country had con
tributed to a "war fund" with
which to begin the enlistment of
men for service in case of hostil-
tiles between the sister countries.
Congress man Stevenson,
when seen by reporter, was
eEdoavorlng to explain to an ex-
cited fell w cOuntryman that the
story was huge joke and that
there was nothing whatever in it.
The Norseman could not get it
through his head, however, that
the story was not true and in.
sisted that his name be taken
down and consideration given
him in case any such arrange
ment as 1000 and expenses for
fighting in his country's cause
could be made. The story of the
generous manner in which
wealthy Northern Minnesota
Norwegians are assisting their
country is a general topic of
conversation, and the 81, 900 prop
osition seems to be particularly
alluring one.

Big Oats at SpauIding.

Q. %. Soland is in the city to-
day from his homestead near
Spaulding and brought to the
Pioneer office a sample OF oats
grown on a 10 acre tract sown
this spring. The oats stand
three and one half feet in height
and are an excellent sample of
grain. In spite of the wet
weather, says Mr.. soland, grain
in the vicinity of Spaulding does

up the Mississippi river between
.Bemidji to Lake Plantagenet.
The river between Bemidji and

regarded as too shallow to
allow the passage of a boat the
size of the "Moose," but Mr.. Nc
Lachlan's trip is evidence that at
the present time, at least, the
voyage can be accomplished by

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way
to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an infamed
condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it IS entirely
closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored
to it's normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucu-
Gus surfaces.

The June Smart Set.

"On the Newport Road is the Of.
tractive title of the novelette, which
opens the June Smart Set. Sewell
Ford is the author, and he has written
as sprightly piece of fiction as has
recently appeared. The story tells of
Mrs. BILLY" Redkirk's social ambi-
tlons, her desire that her daughter.
Barbara, may make brilliant marriage.
the sudden loss of the Redkirk mil.
hons, and their ultimate recovery.
The tale is comedy from first to last
-Oright, clean, clever comedy-and
no reader can afford to miss it.
Ihlrteen remarkable original short
stories will be found in the June num-
Der. One in particular, ''The Ending
OF the Play" is so absorbing IN its
dramatic interest and so startling in
Its denouement that it will cause no
slight discussion. Moreover, it intro
duces a new author to the public,
Henry Sydnor Harrison. In "James
Stiles, Widowet," Gertrude Lynch
has again written one of her subtle
character studies. 1t is a story with
scarcely a word of dialogue, yet 1t
holds the reader from the very opening
paragraph. Equally clever, yet in a
wholly different vein, is L. H. Bick-
ford's "The Invaluable Postlewaite, "
which tells of a thieving valet's clever
methods in robbing society folk. Ed
win L.. Sabin is known chiefly as a
writer OF vers de societe, but he has
contributed powerful story to this
issue, which he has called "The
Mountain Cabin" Other writers who
are represented by their finest work
are Edith Rickert, Roland Franklyn
Andrews, Anna O'Hagan, Harry
Arthur Thompson and Anna A. Rogers.
For the June Smart Set the distin-
gulshed impresario, Heinrich Conried,
has written an important article which
he has entitled, "The Art of Giving
Grand OPERA" and in which he dis
cusses freely, from the managerial
standpoint, the present outlook for
opera in New York. 1t is an illuminat-
ing essay, forceful and valuable. The
poetry of the June issue is unusually
meritorious. Bliss Carman tells a
charming story in verse, "Across the
Courtyard"-the longest and most i'm
portant poem from his pen in over two
years. Other verses are by Theodosia
Garrison, Clinton Scollard, Wallace
Irwin, Arthur Stringer, Ernest Nc
Gaffey, John Vance Cheney and
Charlotte Elizabeth Wells.
The Smart Set improves steadily.
The public wonders how so many
stories and poems of such permanent
value can be procured month after
month.

WANT M'cRoskEY FOR REGENT,
students at the State College Pass
Resolutions.

PULLMAN, April THE student
body and everybody connected with
the state college is showing a deem in
terest in the appointment of a college
regent by Governor Mead.
Inc expression is practically unan-
imous among the faculty for the re-
appointment of R. c. McCroskev. of
darneld, but the student body has TAX
en- the matter up. When it was ru-
mored that Regent McCroskey would
not be reappointed, the students began
to deplore the fact and talked of toe
proper steps to be taken to seure his
retention. When the Governor made
his visit to the college a few DAYS ago
ne was cheered when he declared to
the student body that they could have
everything that they desired and that
was in his power to grant.
SO resolution was prepared which
praised the long and efficient service
of r. c. McCroskey as regent of the
college, and expressed the ehope that
his services would be continued in that
capacity.
This resolution was signed by the of
hcers of the students assembly.
