Adelina PATHS test for a singer was never, as you
might suppose, "Can you Trill? Can you initiate a
hooking hirds' No, it was Can you sing a simple
ballad in honest, straightforward fashion, Such a bal
lad as Home, Sweet Home'f' That was a fair test.
Simplicity shows quality naked and unadorned. And
is only genuine worth that dares challenge its criticism.
1t takes both courage and the consciousness of value
to come before the world with afectation. Our assump-
tion OF n%unberless little airs, poses and p~rejudices is
but the confession and apology for weakness.
The strong are always simple. Simplicity implies
strength. The weak hide their defects and their lack
with tricks and frills.
The higest attainments in painting and sculpture are
" not the Kaleidoscope, brightly-eolored canvases of bat
tie scenes not the complex many-turrented statue
structures that misguided patriots sometimes erect in
memorial of achievement. The greatest picture in the world
is ID mother and her babe. AS the sense of skill grows
strong and the eye keen in its perception of beauty,
non-essentials, jewelry and drapery, are stripped off
and the true artist finds satisfaction in the flowing line
and satiny flesh texture of the simple human figure.
The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1923-06-23

In the world of letters, that which lives as poetry
is not the half-hearted, labored utterances of a Poet
Laureate on some quasi great" occasion. Rather it is
the simple stanza that sang itself out of some more
obscure poets heart that binds us all with Twink bonds
through community of feeling and experience. The great
song is never the oratorio but the ballad. a
Real worth is always unassuming and natural. High
thinking seems automatically to draw unto itself the COM
plement of plain living. Napoleon was always most at
ease in the Spartan simplicity of camp on the battle field.
To his mind, the grandeur and splendor of his French
court were a concession to the limitations of the less
great.
Great minds focused as they are on great issues have
small patience with the trivialities of custom and con-
vention.
1t is only Wien the building is right, true in con-
ception' strong in foundation, pure in outline, that the
architect dares let it stand forth unadorned.
So with human souls. Our poor terms shomliness.
and "humanness' may stand for the truest aristocracv of
human character.

FATHERS HER0ISM IN BLIZZARD TO
SAVE HIS FAMILY DISCLOSED in
DEATH OF RICHLAND COUNTY FARMER

Wahpeton, N. D., Feb. 23.-A
victim of the recent blizzard, John
C. Wolfe, Richland county farmer,
aged 81, was buried at Hankinson
today while at a hospital today
here his widow, who was with him
in the storm, underwent amputa-
ton of both hands and a foot.
For 80 hours Wolfe, his wife and
their two children, boy of Z and
a girl of two, were out in a raging
blizzard, their only protection the
rough side of a wagon box and the
few coverings that farm people
usually have with them.
Story of Death
The story of Wolfe's death was
told here today-the story of a
fathers heroism in the face of
overwhelming odds. The family
had been visiting relatives and at
8 o'clock Tuesday morning set out
for home. Five minutes later the
storm broke with the suddenness
of a tornado.
1--WE, must 60 back, "Wolfe
shouted, and he turned his horses
around on the road they had come
about the distance of two city
blocks. As he turned he lost his
bearing in the binding wind, dust
and snow.

POKER H0LDUP
CASE IN COURT
Defendants Are Bound Over
in Stutsman County

jamestown, N. D., Feb. 23.-Willi-
am Bohlig, Kelley Whitaker, and
Homer Jennings, young men held
here since Feb. 1, waiting hearing
on, the charge of being implicated
in the holdup of poker game and
the shooting of one of the. partici-
pants in the game. George Blake,
were arraigned here Wednesday on
the charge of first degree robbery.
All waived examination and bail was
fixed at $4,000, each to await trial
in the district court.
Bohlig was the only one of the
three who had an attorney. His at
torney, John Knauf, asked that bail
be reduced in his case but without
avail.
Bohlig's parents, well-to-do farm
people of the Cleveland district,
signed his bond and he was releas-
ed.
The others were unable to obtain
bail.
Bohlig has wife and year-old
child here in jamestown while Whit
takers matrimonial status is not
just clear, though he claims to have
family. Jennings, the youngest, is
a minor.
Blake, though out of the hospital
and able to 60 about the city some-
what, did not attend the hearing, as
did the other holdup victims.

Back at the farm house the rela-
tives, aged parents of Mrs. Wolfe,
and brother and sister, became
frantic. The brother, 20 years
old. started out to find the family
but he could make no headway in
the storm and was forced to come
back.
Out All Night
1t was late the next day before
the storm abated and the search
could be resumed.
Out in the field a hundred feet
or SO from the road the sled was
found. The horses had been un-
hitched but had not moved. One
was dead and the other was nearly
frozen by the cold.
Nearly smothered between the
ice-crusted blankets with the
sncw heaped up on them the
mother and children were huddled
together, The. father was stand
ing upright, turned toward the
Northwest, his body rigid, his
arms outstretched to better pro-
tect the ones he loved.
Although both his arms and legs
had been frozen solid and his face
was scared, Wolfe lived several
days.

Join in War on Bill that

Washington, Feb. 23.-An end

appeared near at hand today
through an agreement made be-
hind closed doors for temporary
armistice in filibuster which has
blocked all business since Monday.
In executive session the senate
agreed to adjourn tonight at 6
O'Clock, take up minor bills for two
homs tomorrow and then proceed
with the shipping bill, but with the
possibility Of vote in the mean
time on a motion for recommittal.
After the agreement administra-
tion leaders conceded that the ship
bill was ..as good as dead" Not
! later than tomorrow tonight, it
was said, the vote on recommital
would come, and the bill would Gin
teo'ed with proper obsequies."
The chief burden of the filibuster
was carried on Yesterday by SEN
ator Mcclellan, Democrat, of Ten
nessee, who held the floor for five
and a half hours, being relieved
during the night session. by Sena-
tor Brockhart, Republican, Iowa,
who spoke for nearly four hours.
