LY ONE-FOURTH - SOME IN
TERESTING FACTS ABOUT
WARD COUNTY TAXES.

County Auditor Thompson and his
assistants have just completed most
comprehensive abstract of taxes of
Ward county for the year 1914, which
has been forwarded to the state aud
itor.
The total amount of taxes levied for
all purposes in 1914 was $745,112.31.
OF this amount, $47,122.41 was for
state purposes; $177,742.38 county;
$78, 1924 township, $1O4,254.79 city
and village; $253, 324.8O school and
$84,535.19 city special.
The total acreage assessed was L.
225,676.84; number Of miles of rail-
road, 228.34; total assessed valuation
of real estate, $7,041 ,266.O0, person.
al property, $1,887.445; valuation of
railroad property, $2,034, 10000; tele--
phone property, $19,591; telegraph
property, 1,794.O0; express proper
ty, $14,589; total assessed valuation
of all property, $11, O09, 45400.
Of the above amount, the total as
sessed valuation of the city Of Minot
it $2,413,252.00, or nearly one-fourth
of the total. Kenmare's assessed val
uation is $451,812
The total levy for Minot amounted
to 1911 mills, while that of Kenmare
amounted to 9.83 mills. Kenmare's tax
was exceedingly high, owing to judg-
ment of approximately $4,000 against
the school district, secured by one of
tie banks. There is also a judgment
against the city Of Kenmare. The
levy next year for Kenmare must also
be very high, as there remains about
$4,000 of the judgment against the
school district to be cleaned up.
Minot's taxes will be lowered per-
ceptibly within few years, as soon
as some of the special assessments are
wiped out. Minot's special assess
ments amounted to about $75,00O.00
last year.

PROMPTNESS MAKES CREDIT.

PROMPTNESS MAKES CREDIT.
There is good hard sense in the fol-
lowing, sent out by Northwestern
bank:
In order to conduct it's business safe
ly, it is necessary for the bank to in
sist upon the same promptness on the
part of those owing it, as derositors
expect from the bank discharging it's
obligation toward them.
A bank may loan it's funds legiti-
mately only to those who carefully
guard their credit, and the only way
in which this can be done is for every
one to pay or renew his obligations on
or before the day they fall due.
One of the chief functions Of bank
is making loans, and in doing so it
naturally favors those who have al
ways met their obligations with it in
the past.
The bank examiner carefully exam
ines several times a year all of the
notes held by the banks. This is done
for your security and it reflects on the
standing of the bank and borrower
alike when notes are not met promptly
when due.
By making payments promptly
when due you will aid the bank in con-
Quoting its business in conformity
with the law, and will insure your
credit so that it can accommodate you
readily in the future.

On March 18th President Wilson

On March 18th President Wilson
signed the proclamation opening to
settlement, under the provisions of the
homestead laws, all the non mineral,
unallotted, and unreserved lands with
in the Standing Rock reservation. APP
plications for homestead entry upon
these lands will be received on and af-
ter May 8, 1915, at the United States
land office in which the land is situat-
ed. These applications will be receiv-
ed up to May II, 1915, and, if accord
ing to requirements, will be received
on May 10, except in cases where there
are conflicts. The conflicting applica-
lions will be public drawing. The
drawings will be held on May 10Th
and for South Dakota lands on May
%. Any lands that are not applied by
May II can be entered in the usual
manner. Lands entered or filed upon
prior to August 10, 1912, must be paid
for at the rate of SIS per acre. one fifth
of which must be paid in cash and the
remainder in five equal annual in
stallments.

More horrible tales Of the bloody
war, comes the narrowing news of the
ravages of that dreaded disease, ty-
plus, now raging in Serbia. Sixty
thousand Serbians. mostly women, and
1O7 out of 452 of the doctors, have sue
cumbed to the disease, which was brot
in by Austrian prisoners in December.
The parasites in the clothing of the
soldiers carry the typhus germ, which
can lie dormant for months, to be
awakened by the heat of the body
when the clothing is again worn. Wo-
men acting as nurses in the hospitals
have carried the germs into their
homes and soldiers returning to their
homes have spread the disease thru
out the country. There are not enough
doctors or nurses and with the coming
of warm weather, typhus is certain to
be carried to other countries. America
may send the collier, Jason, as ship
of mercy, and some from this country
may go into the danger zone to assist.
Malignant typhus is one of the worst
diseases known and those engaged in
fighting it are in sixty per cent great
er danger than the soldiers in the
trenches.

Arrangements are being made for a

building at the San Francisco Expo
sition. Larimore has asked this priv

furnish an immense lot Of the great

them. There's nothing nicer than one
of North Dakota's mammoth baked

The fat man in Germany is up
against the real thing. For the sake
of economy, the German government
has asked all fat men to get thin just
as quickly as possible, believing that
thin men require less food than their
corpulent brothers. The idea! Go into
any cafe and if you want to see fell
low actually stow away the victuals,
keep your eye on "yonder Cassius with

BINDER TWINE PROMISES TO BE
SCARCE ARTICLE.

SCARCE AkIlCLE.
As result of the Mexican war it
has been next to impossible for the big
Irvine factories to secure a supply of
sisal fibre from which the greater por-
ton of binder Irvine is manufactured,
and from present outlooks the pros
poets are very good indeed for a Irvine
shortage. During the recent visit of
an International Harvester Co. man to
our village it was learned that he was
refusing all orders for Irvine on ac-
count of the uncertainty of their abil-
ity to deliver. Ordinarily binder Irvine
orders are all placed by the 1st of APP
ril, however, this year no one seems to
have been able to buy any at this time
and the future condition of the market
is very uncertain.
Undoubtedly there will be a supply
of Manila Irvine but the I. II. G. is not
accepting orders for that. There is
a small supply of sisal Irvine in Mar
marth at this time but the price of
Irvine that sold for IL cents last season
has already gone to 16 cents and the
visible supply is not one-fourth suf-
ficient to take care Of the usual de-
mand-Marmarth Mail.

AND SAVED BUILDINGS

A prairie fire starting from a straw
stack nearly caused the loss of the
farm buildings on the Peter Aas farm
in Surrey township Friday. Even
Hestikind, seeing the fire, saved the
day by racing his team, hitched to a
sulkey plow, to the farm and blowing
a fire break around the buildings. He
deserves a good deal of credit for his
daring act, as he was in great danger

The negro problem in Minot is one
of the hardest propositions we have to
contend with. Many would like to see
the colored people back in the sunny
south, but it is impossible to drive
them out of the city. They are free
born American citizens, therefore can
not be deported. Time and again they
have been arrested for various crimes,
only to go back to their old lives upon
payment of fines or after serving their
sentences.

auto stands, and Smith, an angry man
is he, with trouble on his hands. He
cusses softly to himself as he crawls
beneath the car, and wonders why it
didn't bust before it got so far. The
carburetor seems to be the cause of all
his woe he tightens half a dozen bolts
but still it doesn't go. And then he
tried the steering gear, but finds no
trouble there, till wet with perspira-

squats beside the road to give his

his training in correspondence
school. And then he starts the job
once more, until by chance tits seen,
that the cause of all the trouble is, he's
