VERY ANCIENT ART.
Rude Paintings That Date Back to
Prehistoric Times.

Rude Paintings That Date Back to
Prehistoric Times.
Remains of prehistoric man which
are occasionally discovered seem to
prove that there was knowledge of
art even in the earliest times. A Span
lsh nobleman. Marcellino de Sautuola.
was industrially digging in a cave on
his estate in search Of prehistoric STONE
implements and bones. while his little
daughter, who accompanied him. oc~
cupied herself in play. ..
She happened to look up at the vault
ed ceiling overhead, and began to
shout, ''Toros! Toros!" in such excite
ment that her father paused to invest'-
gate. Immediately he forgot bis search
for stone implements. The little girl
had discovered some very remarkable
prehistoric paintings.
The paintings were Of the bison.
which the little girl mistook for bulls.
or toros. The colors were red, black
and gray. The technique Of the draw
ings and the proportions Of the figures
were really good and the positions
were very lifelike.
In the cavern of Font de Gaume,
France. paintings Of mammoths. bison
and other animals have been fonnd.
and most of them show considerable
degree of skill. In the great caverns
OF Nlaux. near Tarascon. France. half
a mile from the entrance, the smooth
polished walls are covered with outline
drawings of animals, drawn in oxide
manganese mingled with grease. which
gives permanent photographic effect on
the smooth limestone.

SLOPE INTERESTED IN GOV. HANNA'S
PROPOSED DEVH 0PlENf PROGRAM

Mme: practical brick makers are
wanted. There are millions Of tons of
fine clay beds that would turn out ex.
cepionalF high grade stuff Both CAPT.
tai and practical experienced men are
needed along many lines. Some OF
'laese could be interested if an organiz
ed; and official effort were made. 1t
is: a f0regone conclusion that every
county in the slope county will pledge
its; legislature members to WORK in
behalf Of the state agent proposition.
The development Of the natural re-
sources Of the state would mean the
establishment Al many factories, the
employment Of 4 large number Of men
increased demand for farm products
q all kinds and many other possibihtte
Cor the entire state.
The slope country leads the other
sections OF the state ia dairying and
butter production and the success of
the creamery business In Morton coun
ty is held up as an example to the
rest Of the state. There h no reason
why equally great development is not
possible along general manufacturing
lines.

Cleanliness Kills Flies.

IT OW do flies live through the win
Jul ter? A few lazy, logy flies can
be found half dead, but still
living, around chimneys and warm
places IN the house or stable. They
will come to life just as soon as the
boys begin playing marbles.
If no garbage or filth were to be
found the female flies would die and
the stock might be lost.
We must keep things clean to keep
flies from breeding. When they have
come we can catch them with fly pa
per or fly traps or kill them with fly
poison. We can keep them out Of the
house by keeping the windows and
doors screened.
They crawl into the sugar, the milk
and the bread. They have just been
crawling into other places. They get
typhoid germs and give you typhoid.
They get consumption and spread it.

Mendelssohn's "Athalie" in the state
Normal school auditorium last even
ing is today the general consensus of
opinion among those who heard the
program. The work of the chorus es-
pecially, was surprise to those who
have heard former productions Of the
society. Never, since it's organization
has there been such perfect balance
of voices. Neither sopranos, altos or
tenors or basses predominated; but
each part in its place at the proper
time gave the chorus a balance that
produced every possibility.
The attack of the chorus was sure
and the shading, perfect, and showed
the results Of months Of pratice and
painstaking effort on the part Of the
membership and reflected credit not
only on the part of Mr.. Goodsell, but
upon the entire society
As soloists, Mrs. Mikkelson, Anetta
and Emma Ellingson, filed large
part of the program. Excel)en1 work
in individual numbers, duets and trios
not only were largely responsible for
the success of the program, but show
ed the excellent results of the work
of the voice department at the Nor

As readers, Ida Myhro, Prof. Meyer
and Miss Coda Nelson filled part
on the program that gave the whole

SPLENDID LUNCH SERVED

THURSDAY, APRIL is, 1914,
The Six Thirty Commercial c,uh
dinner last evening was one Vt the
most successful affairs ever held by
the club. ON an occasion when onlv
local talent was present. After .
splendid lunch u. w Clark as coast.
master called upon Ex-secretary Otto
Aet1erberg who said in part as follows:
m laying out the work for the Com.
merctd Club for the coming season
inc directors thought that the best way
to make the Club useful and of some
influence in shaping the destiny Of
this community, would be to take I'm
and work for and further some ,pop,,.
lar demand that is worth while. One
OF the most insistent and perhaps pop
ular questions of today is the good
roads problem. This problem has
been taken up by communities, cou,-
ties and cities in other states and has
been worked out to the great improve
ment Of the roads in those places. It
is the duty Of Barnes County being the
banner county Of the state to lead
along these lines and some action
ought to be taken to raise sufficient
funds to build system Of good roads
all over the county. One hundred
thousand dollars would probably build
two or three main roads in each di.
rection across the county.
The Gommeycial Club does not take
up this question as pet hobby of it's
own but rather, as an answer to the
universal demand for good roads every
where. The Commercial Club is COM
posed of men from all walks of life,
is not In favor of this man or that but 7
takes up and works out to the best of 7
its ability all the public problems that
come up from time to time, not in op-
position to, but along the lines of pub
lic demand. It's object is to boost, not
to pull down, and by following along
these more interest will be taken in
the Club and people will join and stay
In, providing, the club can prove that
1t Is working for something worth
while.
The next speaker called upon was
1Ex.Govenor Frank White, who was re-
Tered to as a good road expert. He
STATED that he believed that the coun-
" should be bonded for money to build
good roads under the direction Of good
road experts and that money might be
had for 4 to s. per cent and. by distri-
buting it over a term OF years the
landowners would never realize that
they had paid 1t. He stated that one
hundred thousand dollars would mean
80 per section but that the real es-
Il fate Of the cities would reduce that
samount to approximately $50 per Sec
ttfun. He was strongly in favor OF
the move and would have the work OF
the entire county under one expert
rpadbuilder so that every dollar ex-
,Dended would result in dollars worth
81 good roads and would have the
work So distributed that every man in

chell was then called upon and gave
some very interesting information on

half in hauling cost. He told SONS

In the future
Alderman Lee Combs when called
upon took somewhat broader view Of
the matter and suggested sendsug' our
representatives to the legislature in

prttions by the: state for better soasis.
He is of the opinion that this will: be-
the surest way Of SECURING uniform
good roads not alone for the colnty
but for the entiie state. He did not
think that any attempt to- secure nrc11-
ey by private subscription would work
out at all satisfactorily and in any
event would not Distribute the cost
evenly.
Alderman Charles Lee stated that

Of the little band of cyclists who
crossed the German lines and blew
up a bridge near Mons, which cut the
German communications for three
days and allowed the allies to as
semble the force necessary to check
the advance of the Germans toward
Calais.
This company Of cyclists. from
which the men were taken for this
piece of hazardous work, is composed
of 800 members sworn to give their
lives to the country. Only ten were
taken from each regiment cut of the
many who volunteered. The corps
is used in operations which often
mean certain death. In the present
case. the destruction of the bridge
cut off the Germans supplies and is
considered by the king to be directly
responsible for the failure OF the
Germans to break through the line OF
the allies in the critical days of the
first week of November.

FINANCING THE
WAR IS A BIG
UNDERTAKING
(By Associated PressD

Stockholm, Dec. 1.-The Svenska
Degbladet publishes a report by
Professor Gustav Cassel, a nationa
authority. on Financing the War.
He says in part:
Those countries which are bie
creditors Of the neutrals have natur-
ally a special strength in war time
i'm that maturing liabilities are readily
taken up. This is most distinctly
seen in the case Of England. which
under normal circumstances invests
between $50 100000 and S75.OOO.0Oc
Per month abroad, this being the
normal form for the application OF
the surplus Of England's balance
against foreign countries. Should
England now, as might be the case,
cease 10 make these investments the
corresponding amount would stand at
her monthly disposal
This explains the excellent finan-
Cial strength OF England just now.
England is the CAPITALIST par excel
lsnce who can live on the returns OF
her capital. and who. thanks to her
resources. can force the whole world
10 contribute towards her war ex-
penditure.'
