Farmer, of thi, Vicinity:

Many complaints have come to
US relative to the means of settle
ment employed by some companies
which insured against drought and
hail, that we deem it necessary to
notify you that in all cases where
your crops were insured while in
good condition, we advise you not
to make settlement unless you get
the amount for which you are in
sured. less crop received. The re-
turn Of the premium notes and pol
icies is not advised.
There is no need for any hasty
settlement and we will be glad 10
have you write US inquiring about
such companies before you make
settlement.

us Tracts To Be Sold
At Coming Land Sale
Nsxt Indian Land Sale Will be Held at
Fort Yates About the First of Year
It's Tracts Listed

The next sale of Standing Rock
reservation non. competent and in
herited Indian lands in North and
South Dakota, will be held either
the last week in December or first
week in January, the exact date to
be announced in the Pioneer next
week.
At this sale there will be offered
a total of 175 tracts, Of which 81
tracts are located in North Dakota,
and 124 tracts in South Dakota.
The acreage in each tract is approx
imately 100 acres.
The land to be offered for sale has
all been appraised during the sum-
mer and fall months, and the ap-
praisement placed on same has l'een
approved by the Indian Depart
ment in Washington, so there is
little likelyhood that any sale will
be held up on account Of low ap-
praisement, as has been the case in
the past.
This will be the first sale since
December ~, 1916. Prospective
buyers should look over the land
as soon as the list is out before cold
weather and snow sets in, and there
will be ample time for this as the
land must be advertised 60 days
prior to the sale.
The terms of the sale will be cash
where indicated in the ADVERTISE
ment. All other lands will be sold
for cash or on deferred payments as
follows: One-fourth cash; one
fourth in one year; one-fourth in
two years and one-fourth in three
years. Deferred payments draw six
per cent interest from approval OF
sale.
Ten per cent Of the amount must
accompany each bid. This must
be in the shape Of a certified check,
draft, cashiers check or postofice
money order.
Successful bidders at this sale
should have their sales approved in
time to begin work on the land
early in the spring. If they wait
for sale to be held in the spring it
will be the middle of the summer
and too late to do any work on the
land before the sale is approved.
The list will be published in the
Pioneer, and parties interested
should subscribe now so as to gel
the list as soon as it is out.
