stead Act provides that any bid in
excess Of the delinquent tax, shall
be retained by the county, to be APP
piled to the maintenance Of the ditch
by which the land is benefited.
Therefore the first bid will be for
the taxes. Excess bids will be &C
!septed in amounts of $500 or null
tiples of $500 per tract. -
Each tract is offered separately,
but in order that purchasers may
secure three quarters, the privilege
will be allowed each bidder on the
first traet in quarter, to take the
balance of the quarter at the same
price as bid for the first forty or LOT:
% Purchasers must be careful to D1d

time lit is offered, as no mistakes
will be corrected, or bids cancelled
after the description has been pass
ed. This rule will be strictly ad-
hered to- " u, ,s: ss5 s:s.S9.EJ
s Agents bidding for more than one
client, must deposit with the Treas
urer sufficient amount to cover
their expected purchases. m
Statements of the amount to be
paid will be issued to each purchaser
who must surrender same to the
County Treasurer with cash or certi-
fed checks for which the Treasurer
will issue his receipts. These re-
ceipts must be surrendered to the
County Auditor, who will issue Tax
Certificates to the purchaser These
certificates must be delivered to the
officials Of the land office where
filing is made, and after filing has
been completed, should be returned
to the County Auditor for cancella-
ton. T.. Otherwise the taxes remain
unpaid, as the money paid at the
sale is for the purchase of the tax,
and not payment Of them. Unless
the certificates are returned the
taxes remain lien on the land.
AS separate certificates are re-
uuired for each forty-acre tract or
lot, it requires considerable time 70
make them and complete the records.
Purchasers will be requested to leave
their receipts with the Auditor and
call for their, certificates later.
ANY one entitled to take a home
stead can bid at this sale. Agents
have no more privileges than others.
The best bid takes the land. AND
as this is probably the last SAFE OF
any consequence where any large
amount Of lands will be offered,
prospective settlers are urged to &C
quaint themselves fully with y the
lands they wish to bid on, and sat

Government lands will be offered at
the May Tax Sale, subject to the
provisions of the so-called "Volstead

In the same issue Of the Tribune is

WWorkhouse, which bears date Of Jan
uary 20, 1917. Mr.: Mcdonald says:
Our annual report shows the NUM-
Der Of men committed for drunken
ness, but does not tell more than half
the story because Of the fact that q
great many of those committed for
other offenses, such as larceny, dis
orderly conduct, using drugs, found in
disorderly houses, non-support and
petit larceny, were guilty Of those
offenses because Of contact directly
or Indirectly with the liquor traffic.
While the commitments for drunken.
ness show IS per cent of all commit
msnts, an analysis Of other crimes
would show that not less than IS per
cent Of those sent to the Minneapolis
