Doctor Henfi-Martin, grandson OF
the great historian, made an an
nouncement at the weekly meeting
OF the Academy Of Sciences of ex-
ceptioual Importance to the study OF
prehistoric man. At the foot Of a
hill in the department OF the Char
ente the doctor dug up a skull OF a
man Of the Quarternary epoch,
showing marked divergences from
the four or ave similar specimens
already extant, notably very pro
nounced protuberance at the base OF
the forehead. The teeth, which are
very strong, are worn right down TO
the crown, and lead to the belief
that their owner was herbivorous.
Beside the skull we're found fe"
broken instruments and some other
bones, all OF the same period, and
the digging is being Continued with
the greatest care in the hope Of be-
ing able to unearth the complete
skeleton.

HOW STATE TAX
Law IS CHANGED
o'bELL's WHEAT is COMING UP.

Allen O'Deli owner of the Michigan
farm, north of this city, had 200 acres
seeded up to the first Of the week
That which was sown earliest, is
coming up nicely. He says the
ground is in better shape shape than
he has ever seen it before at this time
Of the year It is Sc moist and mel
low, that the moist dirt can be seen
for several rods, as it is uncovered
by the chains OF the drill.
Mr. O'Dell heard Campbell when he
spoke in Minot, and remembers that
the great farmer advised no one to
plow dry ground. This ground vas
pIowed last fall, when 1t was very
dry, and it's condition now seems t,
be ideal. He thinks the speaker must
have erred.
Mr.. O'Dell in his drives over the
country, has noticed large number
of farmers plowing without regard
to dragging. In two or three days the
moisture is practically all out of the
soil He thinks a farmer who does
not drag very soon after plowing is
making big mistake.

Date Of Tax Sale is Now One Week
Later Than ormerIy-PenaIty Re.
duced.

A large number OF the people Of
the country do not know about the
changes in the tax laws which were
made by the last legislature. The
county treasurer is anxious that every
one should know about these changes
and for that reason extracts of both
here.
BY the law approved March 3, 1911
the penalty vn delinquent real estate
taxes has been reduced. The penalty
on delinquent personal property ta1es
remains as under the old law.
The changes made can readily be
seen by comparing the extracts of tho
old and new laws as given below:
Old Law.
On March :, 1911, a penalty Of per
cent will be added
On April |, 1911, an additional pen
atty of 3 per cent.
On June /, 1911 an additional pen
atty Of per cent.
On Nov. /, 1911 ,an additional pen
atty Of . per cent
Making a total of IA per cent up to
date of sale.
Tax sale first Tuesday in December,
1911.
New Law.
On March l, 1911, penalty of
per cent will be added.
On June !, 1911, an additional pen
atty of per cent.
On Nov. l, 1911, an additional pen
atty Of 3 per cent.
Making total of 10 per cent up to
date of sale
Tax sale second Tuesday in Decem-
ber, 1911.
| From these two statements it will
be seen that changes are made in the
amount Of the penalty and in the date
OF the tax sale. Under the new law
the penalty March is increased from
3 to per cent. No penalty is At
tached to April and the June penalty
is reduced from to per cent The
| November penalty IS also reduced,
being instead of 5 per cent
Thus at the date OF sale, the amount
OF the penalty will be reduced from
IA to 10 per cent The date of sale
is changed from the first to the Sec
ond Tuesday in December.

But that control must be intelli-

simply because it is a control by the
public, is not all. 1t must be intelll-

Intelligent people will ask and expect
nothing more. Vail, Reynolds and the
others are right in advocating publ
city and public control. Both are
things which eventually will go far
towards making a good feeling be-

people, and will assist in settling
