LOAD OF CRUSHED ROCK
MAY APPEASE KAIMUKl

A street corner on Waialae road at
the end of the car line threatens to
make Albion Clark famous. According
to members of the board of supervis.
ors, Albion has paid regular visits to
the meetings of the board for many
weeks, always urging that this particu-
lar corner be filled so that when it
rains puddles of water will not form.
Mayor Lane was perturbed by the
persistence of Mr.. Clark, who rere-
seilts the Kaimuki Improvement Club,
and a couple of days ago he ordered
the city engineer to ill the obnoxious
hole with crushed rock. Fearing that
the job might not be satisfactory, the
mayor visited the scene of the trouble
in his automobile yesterday.

Correction of Errors.

In the decision by the Railroad Com
mission in the telephone case, as pub
lished III this paper two weeks ago, one
sentence was incorrectly printed. The
word not was left out changing the
meaning. 1t should have read.
In addition to this any messages going to sub,
scribers of the Mineral Point Telephone Com
pany would have to pass through one additional
switch board which would not serve to improve
public service.
James Keyes, manager of the tele-
phone exchange, points out an error IN
the decision wherein it says or implies
that a telephone of the Mineral Point
telephone company was installed in the
same room in which is installed the
switch board of the Farmers indepen-
dent telephone exchange. While there
has been a telephone of the Mineral
Point telephone company in the same
building, it has never been in the same
room with the Farmers independent
telephone exchange.

Americas Right To Prosper.

10 be busy, prosperous and at peace
implies crime against civilization on
the part of the United States in the
opinion Of this countrys foreign critics.
Have we moral right to be busy and
prosperous and to remain at peace in
times like these? A strange question,
yet even when it is answered in the
affirmative, America seems to be still
an object of attack and reproach by
foreigners to whom the spectacle of
this favored country, in comparison
with war swept Europe, is evidently
maddening.
Probably very few Americans are
shot through with pangs of conscience
because the swirl of war has not yet
snatched this nation into it's vortex. The
war was none of our making. The con-
ditions out of which it came could
never be laid at our door. For more
than century the cardinal principle Of
American foreign policy had been not to
mix in the political questions Of Europe.

Mrs. Rachael Painter Davies,

mother of Joseph E. Davies, chairman
of the federal trade commission, died in
Washington Monday, November 80,
and was buried at Watertown. She
lived in Madison several years with her
son, and also made his home hers at
the national capital.
Mrs. Davies was SO years old, having
been born in 1916 at Carnovan, Wales.
She studied for the ministry and was
ordained in the Congregational church
while yet in Wales. She came to the
United States in 1870 and for some two
years preached in and around Philadel-
phia, mostly at Welsh evangelist meet
ings in the mining district. In 1872
she was married to the late Edward
Davies, himself also Of Welsh birth, a
native of Tregaren. They located at
Watertown soon after and that place
became her home for thirty five years
and round about in Welsh communities,
she continued her evangelical work.
At one time she held a regular charge
at Ixonia, Jefferson county. Perhaps
no Wisconsin woman was so widely
known among the Welsh. Several
times Mrs. Davies visited Wales, and
two years ago fell SO i'll there that her
son had to go over and accompany her
home.
Old residents of Watertown, where
ever they go, have good, kind words to
say Of the Davies family

THE IOWA COUNTY JAIL

State Board Of Control.

At the last session of the county
board the matter Of Jail improvements
was referred to a committee consisting
of J. j. Fielder, A. E. Thomas and
Chairman Eagan; and this committee
has taken the matter up and has come
to an agreement with the State board
of control, and will proceed to make
the necessary improvements, which are
outlined in the following letter:
To THE Stair BOARD OF CONTROL:
By your request have this 1st day of Decem-
Der, 1915, made a careful and thorough inspec-
ton of the Iowa county jail respectfully sub
nit the following report with my recommen-
dations
The Jail is an old building, apparently well
constructed, SO that the prisoners can be secure
ly held therein. 1t does not conform with the
law, in 50 far that no provisions are made for
segregation of Juvenile and female prisoners
from other inmates. The building is not prop
erly ventilated and the plumbing is in bad
condition and the building cannot be sufficient
ly heated during the winter months, as the
means for heating consists of only one box
of supervisors of Iowa county be requested to
furnish and install an adequate heating system.
2nd-Repair the plumbing and replace the
old bowl by a more modern type of closet
3rd-lnstall shower bath.
4th-Ventilate the building by continuing the
vent pipe beginning in the lower cells, through
the upper cells and through the roof and
admitting fresh air by cutting holes through
the walls about eight feet above the floor line
and provide with registers
5,h-I recommend that the two rooms on the
second floor be adapted for the keeping Of
female and Juvenile offenders as soon as
quarters can be provided for sheriff's residence,
which must be done on or before July l, 1917.
6th-The housing of drunks and disorderlies
in said Jail should be discontinued, no
facilities are provided for this purpose and the
city of Dodgeville should be requested to build
a city lock up in which room for tramps
should be furnished w. H. GRAEBNER,
Member Of State Board of Control.

Della Suthers.

Della Eta, the oldest child of Clar-
ence and Mary Suthers, was born in the
town Of Mineral Point, Nov. s, 1897,
and therefore had only recently passed
her eighteenth birthday, before she was
called away from this earthly life.
Practically all her life has been spent
in this vicinity. Here she received her
education, and had her health per-
mitted, she would doubtless have been
with her class, which graduates next
June.
A year ago her pareuts purchased a
farm near junction City in the northern
part Of Wisconsin, and for some months
Della was with them in this new home.
In August she returned to Mineral
Point for an extended visit with her
relatives and host Of companions and
friends, and as is natural to a disposi
ton like hers, she experienced unspeak-
able satisfaction and the highest joy
turing the rapidly passing weeks. She
had been handicapped by i'll heath but
she did not permit that fact to rob her
of her cheerfulness, or take from her
grasp the wholesome means of enjoy
ment.
She was member throughout her
entire life of the local Congregational
church Sunday School and made re
cord for perfect attendance for period
of five consecutive years.
Her last illness dates from Thanks
giving Day. Gradually it became more
aggravated and in the early morning of
Dec. 2, while surrounded by loved ones,
Della fell asleep.
The funeral occurred on Sunday aft
ernoon from the home of O. J. Dunn,
and was conducted by Rev. w. j. G..
Bond. Members of the High School
class of 1916 were the pallbearers and
the young ladies of the same class
formed an escort and bore some lovely
floral designs. It was one of the largest
funerals seen in Mineral Point for
years, indicating the high regard with
which Della was held in the hearts OF
the people, as well as their deep sym
pathy for the stricken family.

BOOKS admit children to new

children, therefore, give books this
