CaVeman's Hearth.

What we know of our cave-dwelling
ancestors we have cleaned chiefly
from the relics left by the cavemen in
their places e habitation in caverns
and holes in the rock. MarettI the
anthropologist, tells of cave in Jer-
sey, near the Bay of st. Brelaide,
where scientists dug down through
some twenty feet of clay and rock
rubbish, probably carried there in the
course of the last Ice age that mantled
Europe, and found large stones that
had propped up the fire, and even
some Of the ashes. Bones were found
In heap Of food-refuse, which, when
examined, proved to be the remains
of the woolly rhinoceros, the reindeer,
two kinds Of horses, Of wild OK and
of deer. Thirteen human teeth were
found In the food-heap. The diners
had also left their knives - flint

ROAD CONSTRUCTION.

Contracts have been let for grad
ing, draining and the building of the
necessary culverts on the Dodgeville =
Mineral Point highway and the Min
eral Point Belmont highway. 1t is
expected that the work will be COM
menced as soon as weather conditions
will permit. 1t is proposed to COM
plete the work of grading and sur
facing the Dodgeville Mineral Point
highway during the present year.
That so necessary a highway should
have been put in proper condition
years ago must be apparent to every
one. We are however, soon to have
a well graded highway connecting
Mineral Point with the northern,
western and eastern portion Of the
county and state. When it is fully
completed it's advantages will be un-
derstood.

Signed in London-Commons

London, March 31.-The basis of an
agreement between Ulster and the
Irish Free State, which will end the
border war, was reached, it was Off
cially announced.
At the conference of representa-
tives of Ulster, the Irish Free State
and the British government proposals
were made and accepted by all to
end the warfare between Orangemen
and Sim Feiners in Ulster, as well as
along the border.
The articles of agreement were an
nounced in the house of commons by
Winston Churchill, who acted as arbi-
traitor of the fateful session Of the
Northern and Southern delegates.
The announcement in the house
that the agreement had been signed
was greeted with prolonged cheers.
Joseph Devlin, nationalist leader and
member from Belfast and Fails, ex-
pressed profound satisfaction with
the settlement, declaring:
1T is the best work that has ever
been done for Ireland, the empire and
the world"

proval of the achievement under the
leadership of the colonial minister.
The most important part Of the
agreement was "article seven" It
provides for future conferences on the
unity Of Ireland. Under this article
the signers of the agreement will
meet once each month after the pas
sage of the Irish constitutional bill.
Failing success in achieving unity.

tween the North and the South on a
permanent basis. Both the North and
the South agree to return MI kid
naped persons.

For Russian Relief.

Chicago-Field workers of the
American Friends Service committee,
(Quakers), in the Volga valley re-
port that the crisis in the Russian
famine will be reached in April and
May. The daily death rate, now esti-
mated at 100000, is expected to in
crease 100 per cent or more.
Relying on the efforts of the Amer
ican Committee for Russian Famine
Relief, 4O5 Steinway building, Chi
cago, to collect additional supplies in
large quantities, the Quakers are ex-
tending their relief, feeding as many
children and their parents as their
available supplies will warrant. If
rapidly diminishing stocks of food
are not 'replenished through the eff
forts Of the American committee,
however, the Quakers will have to
face more tragic situation.
Easter collections in the churches
are counted upon to raise additional
fundS Tor the purchase Oh hour anu
milk. Thus far, officers of the Amer
lean Committee for Russian Famine
Relief say, the churches have assum-
ed most of the burden in raising re-
lief funds for the starving in Russia.
Club women are beginning to take
an active interest, judging from re-
ports from northern Wisconsin, 1t
was said.
Substantial relief for the starving
is anticipated through donations OF
oats by the Iowa farmers. All oats
contributed will be shipped to Ceda4
Rapids, Iowa, and converted into oat-
meal. "Quaker Oats for Quakers" is
the slogan of the campaign.

Wonderful Development in the
Electrical Field.

In 1880, an employee of Thomas
Edison carried all the incandescent
light bulbs from Menlo Park to New
York City in a market basket. In
1922, forty-two years later, one mil
lion incandescent lamps are being
made daily.
In 1882, there were but two small
electric light plants serving interior
lighting in existence. The first was
connected at Appleton, Wisconsin,
during the summer of 1882; the
second in New York City. The total
capacity of both plants was about 500
H. P. and represented an investment
of only few thousand dollars. In
1922, forty-years later, there are tens
of thousands of electric light plants
dotted over the country, representing
the stupendous sum of almost five
billion dollars; sum that is very
near equal to the entire gold supply
of the world. The plans for 1922
call for an investment of $470,000,-
900.
Edward M. Hurley of the Hurley
Machine Company, of Chicago, stat
ed on April 10th, 1921, before the U.
S. Chamber of Commerce, there were
yet to be connected fourteen million
homes in the United States, and
10000 factories that wish to be elec
trified and have made application to
electrify their plants. This does not
construction problem that confronts
the United States at the present time
if the inhabitants are to be properly
housed. He stated there were
100000 additional homes, 100000
additional factories, 5000 public
schools, 5000 churches, and $4,000
apartment buildings were needed to-
properly care for the present pOpula-
tion of the United States. He further
goes on to say that all these addition
al homes, factories, churches, and
public schools are to be lighted by
electricity.
When one stops to think of the
very meager beginning of this busi-
ness some forty years ago and the
enormous gains that have been made
in few years, and the huge problem
that is yet before the various electric
companies of the United States, one
can get some conception of the al
most superhuman task that has been
accomplished and is yet to be accom-
plished. These facts only verify the
statement of those who are in posi-
ton to know that the electric indus
3 try is yet in its infancy.

Belmont Highway to be improved,

of road across the bottom from the
Schaaf bridge to the stock yards at

The complaint regarding the mud
dy condition of the railroad property
around the depot was taken up and
considered. Mr.. Pagel said that if
the cooperation of the draymen,
shippers, and the business men gen.
orally of the city could be secured,
he believed that the Railway Com
pany would do its part towards rem
edying the condition of which COM
plant is made.
