INFORMATION ABOUT
DELINQUENT TAXES

The following information is pre-
sented this week, not as anything
new, but as something which all have
had opportunity to know, but which
we find many do not know, and at
the present moment Is good thing
to know.
In securing this inormation we al
80 had brought home to us the truth
Of that old saying that advice is easy
to give, but hard to take. For many
years we have urged readers to read
over the information contained on
their tax receipts as 1t would give
them a very good idea of where their
tax money went and correct many
false ideas on that important subject.
The delinquent tax list this year
was published in the Greeley Trib-
une two weeks ago. Few of these pa
pers are taken here 30 we left ours
at the bank where you can look up
your standing on tax matters. Since
we had been asked several questions
about interest rates, we wrote to the
county treasurer for the inforna-
tion only to find that It was contain
ed In the tax statements that are
sent out to all owners of real proper
ty each year. Here they are:
l. 1920 taxes were due January
LIST, 1921.
2. Taxes may be paid In two
equal payments. To avoid penalties,
the first half must be paid prior to
March lst. and the second half must
be paid prior to August 1st.
g. From March LIST to August 1st
the first half bears interest at the
rate Of per cent. per month or frac-
ton thereof.
4. All unpaid taxes become delin-
quent August lst and bear interest
thereafter at the rate Of Is per cent
+per annum until the property Ia sold
S. Property will be advertised for
sale for delinquent taxes on or about
November lst, 1921. The sale will
begin on or about December LIST. 1921
(The advertising was delayed this
year until Nov. 18th. and the sale
Is advertised to commence on Dec.
18th, or two weeks from the coming
Saturday,
6. When property Is sold for tax
es. the amount for which same is
sold draws interest from the date OF
sale at the rate Of "A per cent. per
annum for the first six months, Is
per cent. per annum for the second
six months, and IL per cent. per an.
mum thereafter until redeemed.
Provided, the purchaser Of the prop.
erty has not bid in the same at a
lower rate Of interest than that pro.
vided by law.
7. Property may be redeemed at
any time within three years from
date of sale After three years a tax
deed may illegally be issued.
s. The charge for advertising Is
40 cents for each description of
lands, and 20 cents for each descrip-
ti0n Of town lots.
From the above It will be seen
that In any ordinary times allowing
:es to be delinquent Is quite an
expensive way to borrow money.

POETS OF SCIENCE

William Henry Perkin was an odd
sort of a youngster. When he was Is
years old and student in the City Of
London School he heard Of series Of
lectures on chemistry during the noon
recess Young William Henry de-
cided that the lectures would be Of
more value to him than his lunches, so
he took in the lectures.
Apparently the lectures made a de-
cided impression upon the boy. Two
years later he entered the laboratory
OF a chemist named Holman in the
Royal College Of London and by the
time he was u, had started upon his
career as a researcher. Perkin decided
that his mission in life was to isolate
phenenthrene from coal tar and pre-
pare artificial quinine. In order to
speed the day when his task would be
done he set up private laboratory and
worked overtime. While at work in
this laboratory in the spring OF 1856,
he found in his test tube. while oxi-
dizing some anime oil, black, sticky
mass instead OF clear crystals. He at
tempted to wash i out with alcohol
when. to his surprise, he produced =
wonderful purple solution-mauve, the
first Of the aniline dyes.
Ten years later Perkin achieved his
greatest triumph when he produced
alizarin, or Turkey red, formerly
made only from the root Of the mad
der. Years later the British govern
ment knighted the man who FIRST dis
covered the vast possibilities contained
with coal tar but gave him little imam

Ever since the notorius Tommy

as this: ''Hello, police, Tommy
o'Connor is hiding right next door
to u.s."
The murder squad with orders to
shoot to kill rushed out, to find the
elusive Tommy, would rush to the
house, break down doors and point
shot-guns at frightened housewives,
until. the place was searched. OF
course, no Tommy was found. Chief
Fitzmorris discovered that it wasn't
that the women wanted to cooperate
with the department to bring the
criminal to justice but merely gave

new LUTHERAN HOSPITAL
BOARD REPORTS PROGRESS
Plan of Board to Erect New
Hospital in Bernidji Il
Becoming Reality

The plan of the Lutheran hospital
board to erect a. modern fireproof
hospital in Bemidji is fast becoming
a reality as shown, by the enthusiastic
meeting of the board last night.
The finance committee reported
that good progress was being made in
the sale Of stock, and that before
many weeks the amount Of $125,OOO
would be raised. The report shows
that while the bulk of the funds will
be raised outside of Bemidji, at least
$4,000 will be received from the
citizens of Bemidji within the next
two weeks.
The building Of a Lutheran hospi-
tai here will be Of vital importance
to the city at large. Thousands of
Luthersns as well as members Of 9TH
err Protestant faiths and others as
well, will come to Bemidji instead OF
some other city where there is a
Protestant hospital Every kind Of
business in the city will benefit there
by as it is natural that where pa
tients will come, their friends will
come also. The hospital board feels
: that this project is deserving Of the
hearty support of every citizen and
individual in the city.
