Bismarck, N. D.. Jan. 20.-Quite an
proposed by Representative Cole OF
Fargo. He is contemplating introduce
ing a bill which will repeal all of Ar
. ticle IL of the chapter upon taxation
and revenue which will do away with
all tax sales and provide in lieu there
of a provision for penalties and inter-
est, as a substitute for the selling Of
real estate for taxes. Provision is
made whereby a penalty of five per
cent attaches upon the first day OF
December and thereafter the rate on
delinquent taxes shall be reduced from
IL per cent to 10 per cent per annum.
At the expiration of two years the
county auditor shall notify the owner
of the land unless he pays within one
year from that date the land will be-
come forfeited to the county for the
llon-payment of the taxe~, At the ex-
piration Of the one year and ." three
years from time delinquent it is the
duty Of the county auditor to certify
the default to the states attorney who
thereupon brings an action to quiet
title to the land in the county The
owner Of the land may come in at any
time prior to the final decree of the
court and pay up the taxes with all
penalties, interest and costs and re-
ceive back his land. 1t is quite likely
; that the bill will also contain a pro-
vision whereby a special fund is Gre
ated and authority given to the coun-
ty officials to issue warrants to the
amount of delinquent real estate taxes
unpaid on the first day of December,
which warrants will be called for pay
ement as fast as the delinquent taxes
are redeemed. Lands forfeited to the

The Dollar and the Law.

Special feature brought to Garrick
by Banks. .-
The film feature. The Dollar and the
Law, which will be shown at the Gar
rick theatre next Wednesday and
Thursday is a production Of genuine
merit. 1t was produced by the inter-
ests Of the American Bankers asso-
citation, savings department, in the
interest of thrift, and is brought here
by the influence Of the Fargo Clearing
House association.
The story deals with the travels of
a dollar bill presented by an old miser
to his daughter. The evidence that
the bill furnishes solves the problem
Of the play. The need of money by a
gentleman" law breaker causes a
theft which includes the bill. The
daughters "favorite" turns the trick
after deep developments and comes
to his own.

below the maximum amount you have
to spend. You will have many oppor-
tunities, while the building is in proc
ess of construction or after it has

plus there may be and,A If it is not used
in building it may be used for other
purposes.
Building a home, adding something
of use to the tangible assets of the ma
ton, doing your part to create real
value, are some of the reasons why a
glow of satisfaction pervades the per-
son or the group that work out such
an enterprise.
1t is an undertaking that is so won
derfully worthwhile, SO fraught with
good results to so many people that
this instinct-and it is an instinct
should be given every encouragement

breast give 1t all possible opportunity
to grow.
What kind of home to build and of
what to build 1t are among the next
questions that arise for settlement.
Materials that satisfy the preference
Of the builder should be used. Do
not be swayed too greatly by the con-
ficting claims to merits put forth by
rival manufacturers. Much of the in

used. 1t Is of oyster-white, with disks
scattered over its surface, each disk
showing stripes of black, white and
cOlors In irregular widths.
The logical choice In sweater coats
to be worn with this skirt will be In
oyster-white, either in silk Jersey or
in the same material as the skirt. In
nearly all the new suits, sweater-coats
In plain colors accompany skirts In the
same color, but striped or figured, like
that in the picture.
The blouse shown Is of fine white
batiste, covered with narrow tucks. A
frill about the wrists and at the edges
of the fichu make the right kind Of fin
fish for 1t. The skirt has very narrow
frill at the top. In lieu Of girdle, a
heavy silk cord In black and white Is a
happy thought.
1t is whispered that cretonne will
figure among the fabrics chosen for
