A Word to Taxpayers
To the Editor of Ward County indie

To the Editor of Ward County indie
Minot, N. Oak.
Dear Editor:
believe it will be of great interest
and value to the taxpayers of Ward
county to learn of the movement on
foot. 1t was my privilege to be pres
ent at one of the County Commission
ers meetings. My purpose to see the
gentlemen was to see what they could
do to make the roads in Ward county
what they ought to be and not what
they are. In speaking to one Of the
commissioners about it, he most pa
thetically informed me that not much
could be done this year in road build
ing on account of county not having
sufficient funds to expand in that d.
rection, and the further fact that dur
ing the past two years or 80 the crops
were not so attractive and that the
county even had to 60 into debt, fur
nishing some of the farmers with
seed and 80 forth.
Now, this of course, is not very
encouraging and if such program as
road building should be left in the
background then surely this is not
the time for, the county to spend thou-
sands of dollars in some useless en-.
terprise which the shrewd schemers
are so ready to advance. But here's
just what took place at this county
commissioners meeting: Some moving
picture representative (who also
claims to be working with and in con-
junction with the state Immigration
Department. had quite program laid
hafora %ho copo mi CT II, %ha =,
Of taking movie pictures of our county
are to be shown all over the state and
pose of advertising Ward county and
people with money, to come to our
our farms. All this would cost the
Ward county taxpayers between five
and ten thousand dollars. The movie
man urged upon the county commits
sioners that they enter into contract
with them at once SO that they could
60 right ahead and take these pictures
at once to best advantage. Where
upon some commissioners remon-
strated that they could not enter into
contract at this time before the Pc
tition is filed, they not knowing whe-
ther the taxpayers want such thing
pulled through or not. To this the
clever movie representative said that
they are willing to risk the petition
being filed later, and in case the suf-
ficient signers are not obtained on the
petition the commissioners contract
with them would be void.
Now if the Taxpayers of Ward coun-
ty want such q wild cat" advertis-
ing and will pay such a heavy bill
for it, all good and we'll but as for
me it appears very useless and foolish
expenditure of money. Methinks that
if the county is bound on spending
large SUMS of money then let it be
on building roads and other essential
things and let US first clean out the
house, build the roads and so forth
that after a while when he should
see the advisability of bringing new
settlers we will not be ashamed of
ourselves when they do come.
Meanwhile when the petition is be-
ing circulated let the taxpayers of
Ward county refuse to sign and by
50 doing we shall check the raise of
taxes which raise has been mounting
higher and higher.
Wonder who's doing all this?
Your very truly,
Daniel Grushkowsky.

certain day. Uranus and Saturn are
in a strongly malefic aspect during
the hours when men are busiest. In
the evening the Sun and Mercury
are in kindly sway.
The mind may be disturbed by
forebOdings and suspicious. during
this cOnfguration and for that rea-
son care should be taken in all busi-
ness transactions that require de-
Cision and foresight.
Labor may be greatly disturbed
at this time. because OF some evil
report that is spread broadcast.
There is again a sinister sign for
mining regions and the seers proph-
esy that there will be a crisis that
will end all future troubles.
The power Of suggestion will be
strong during this sway of Uranus
and there may be frequent comment
on what is commonly known as
tclepathy.
Intrigue and deceit will be more
than usually prevalent. If there is
any basis for the general reading
OF the effects of the evil aspects of
Saturn and Uranus.
1t is an unlucky time for love af-
fairs. but men will WOO with eX-
ceedingly convincing power Many
heartaches are forecast for women
who attain new vanities with new
political rights"
An accident or shipwreck at sea
will cause loss of life this month.
England continues subject to a
planetary government that presages
many troubles. democratic ideals
will increase and troubles will null
tiply. according to London astroI-
Ogers who at the beginning OF the

King George adverse influences, the
Sun being afflicted by Jupiter and

1t is recalled that the eclipse of
the Sun. May IS. was declared by
astrOlOgers to presaGe trouble in
Ireland. Persia and Asia Minor and
to foreshadow earthquakes in this
