NORTH DAKOTA WOMAN
DECLARED A LEPCR

Steele, N. D., July IA woman
named Houst, AZ years old, residing
1t Crystal Springs, Kidder. county,
who has been declared q leper, will
be segregated in a dwelling far from
any other human being under orders
from state authorities.
Armed with the official order, Sher-
if Bilbin and Mrs. Rose Lewis, nurse
attached to the state board OF health,
are in Crystal Springs this afternoon
to effect the isolation. The woman's
father and mother and her 9-year-
old fatherless girl, who have been liv-
ing with her constantly are not in
fected with the dread disease.
The Houst woman for 9 long time
has been considered to, be leper
but no action was taken to segregate
her until her case came to the at
tention of Mrs. Lewis. An examin-
aticn was made by Dr.. Rudigo of Bis
marck, who had contact with leprosy
in the Philippines and he pronounced
it a clear case. Her relatives have
associated with her constantly and
neighbors have frequented the home.
The daughter has not been permitted
to 20 to school but is said to have
associated with other people, making
frequent trips to the store.
The woman is now approaching the
last stages of the disease. Her con-
dition is horrible. One finger on her
right hand has dropped off, her left
hand is held to her arm only by the
skin and her right arm is in the last
stagse of disintegration. She has q
hole in her frontal bone and is marked
in numerous places about the head.
The woman is believed to have
brought the disease from Russia. The
family has lived in Crystal Springs
for five years.

STATE BANKING BOARD
CLOSES MARMARTH BANK
State Fund to Repay $4,000 Short.
age of Farmers State
Bank

Bismarck, N. IT,, July ia receiv-
er for the Farmers State bank of
Marmarth, Slope county, has been
named by the state banking board.
The action was taken after the vol
untary closing of the doors of the
bank because of lack of funds to con-
tinue the business. 1t is estimated
that there will be a deficit of from
$4,000 to $4,000, which will be repaid
out of the state fund guaranteeing
bank deposits.
L. E. Dickerson, named temporary
receiver, Immediately will close up
the affairs of the institution.
Bad management was the cause of
the banks failure, according to o. E.
Lofthus, state bank examiner. Con-
siderable poor paper was found in the
bank.
The bank was organized in 1911,
being chartered on April 3 of that
year. Its capital stock was $4,000.
When the bank failed it's deposits
amounted to $4,000.
Three weeks ago the cashier closed
the bank and asked for an examina-
ton. The examination resulted in the
appointment of a receiver.
F. G. DeLang, who was president of
the bank, died in a hospital in South
Dakota recently.

On the other hand, the independent

three league house members in Bur-

At the same time the independent
forces retained their strength in RAM
sey, Cavalier, Morton, Mclean, Ward,
Pierce and Stark counties.

senate was nominated, where he was
opposed, while only eight league can
didates for the house weathered the
storm in the 13 counties making up
the district.

The Ballad
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1919. By Frank crsne)

I heard Sydney Thompson recite Ballads
the other day, with her princess presence
and velvet voice, and found myself shedding
honest tears over stories older than faded
tapestries; ! wanted to clasp my hands
when Susie Pye went after her lover and
got him just as he was about to wed an
other-can you beat this for action?
Then quickly hied ne down the stairs
And fifteen steps he made but three
And he's taken his bonny love in his arms,
And kissed and kissed her tenderly"
After reading Joseph Conrad and Leon
ard Merrick and the modern magazines,
where a nicke's worth of incident and pas
sion is spread out over innumerable pages,
it is refreshing to listen to Ballad where
True Love, and good sound Hate, and swift
Justice, and divinest Loyalty and Cruelty
clean as tigers tooth, and Cowardice, and
lovely ladies all milk and roses, and heroes
handsome as an Apollo and strong as an
OK, and all the rich, toothsome simples of
this, our common life, are idealized and
expressed in swift, vivid English-it's like
finding good, honest folk again after ming
ling with simpering courtiers and num-
mers.
The Ballad is to other letters what red
checked milkmaid is to the roughed beauty
of the chorus, what the wide river and
high mountain are to picture of them.
1t is the most permanent, as it is the
simplest, form of poetical expression.
The Seattle star. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1899-1947, 1920-02-07

The Ballad is the Wandering Jew of
Literature. 1t is the one Form that seems
never to grow old.
1t is by the greatest of authors, HUI
manity. The greatest Ballads were not writ
ten by anybody; they just growed, like
Topsy.
They are Folk utterances. And always
in every land it is the Folks who are most
interesting The Nobility, the Educated
Classes are everywhere alike. Their lines
of individuality have been rubbed out by
school teachers and social rulers. They are
like ready made clothes and table dhote
dinners, uShers in church and undertakers;
when you have seen the Best People IN
Boston you have seen the Best People in
any town-Kokomo, Winnipeg, Paris, Tokyo,
New York and Tampa
But the interesting personages in coun-
try, those who refresh the traveller by their
difference, are the farm hands, wood chop
pers, factory girls and mule drivers. They
have distinction, class.
So the Old Women and the Wandering
Minstrels, who made up their songs as they
went along, by the fireside of night in Win
ter at Fairs and Roadside Inns, in Barns
and Kitchens, these composed the Eternal
Poems, the Ballads, trying them out by
infinite experiment, testing, discarding
every line and syllable that was not pure
human interest.

musical critics have been going into ecsases the world over
You've probably been thrilled, too, recently, by the
sweet music of Tetrazzin and other wonderful artists.
But the music which surpasses all is the laughter OF
child. Have you stopped to play with one-not as
matter of duty check its tearsbu because you really
wanted to amuse it? Have you ever rocked klddie on
your knees mounted it back and rode horse
Have you been known to little tots as the funny man.
to whom they turn glad little faces, to whom they run
Hleefuly when they sight you?
Then you what real Joy is If there is any deeper
contentment and genuine satisfaction than making
child laugh and play and feel glad all over we do not
know it.
And so commend very earnestly and sincerely
the efforts that being put forth now to enlarge the

The Star has told you of 100000 children on the verge
Of starvation in Europe. They need help. And our own
babies in Seattle and elsewhere in the United States need
