Unusual Attraction
in Revue Oct. 27-20

At . time when many Of the legit-
innate producers are fleeing to the
movies, It il worthy Of note that G..
N. Anderson is headed the other
way. He has reversed the process.
for he has deserted the silent drama
to construct a series Of annual re-
vues Of which "Frivolities Of 1920
which is fitting about the stage Of

edition.
For years ~Broncho Billy" as he
was identified by the picture pa
irons, was known to every movie
fan from the Yukon to the delta of
the Mississippi as the epitome Of
celluloid cowpunchers. In a span
Of 10 years he probably lassoed
more cinema cattle and perforated
more screen bad men than have
William H. Hart and Tom Mix in
all the days that they have pursued
the ferocious greaser and tanned
the surly steer. He duplicated on
the screen the adventures Of our
hardest heroes and foremost In
dian fighters. He was a shadowy
compost Of Kit Carson. Daniel
Boone and "Buffa.o Bill" in the
eyes Of the youth Of a decade ago
Indeed, the impression that many
have today of the wild if unwooly
west was gained from watching the
pictured episodes in which "Bron-
cho Billy" reveled in the cactus
and sagebrush stretches. In his
reign as king OF the screen cowboys

REAL ESTATE DEALERS
MUST PAY TAX.
Jackson, Miss, Feb. 81, 1920.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. ~, 1920.
Editor, Eagle: In some way some
how the impression is out among
dealers in real estate that in the case
of sales the selling price in excess OF
costs or market value March l, 1918,
is not to be returned as income ex-
cent to the extent Of the portion OF
the cash payment.
The following letter from the Com
missioner Of Internal Revenue might
be interesting to a large number OF
your readers: !.
Preference is made to YOUR letter OF
December 10, 1919, with which you
transmitted letter from Mr.. A. con-
tanning the following statement OF
facts and inquiry:
81 have sold some land receiving
therefor small cash payment OF $780,
600, from which paid attorneys fee,
purchasers assuming mortage on the
same Of $19,5O0, and executing their
long term notes, which may never pc
paid, for balance aggregating $!Oo,-
$50. In making income return IS II
required that the sale be treated as a
cash transaction, or am permitted to
make return on the proportion Of pro-
fit covered by the cash payment! :,
Gust how this transaction should
be treated by Mr.. A. in his return OF
income, depends in part on whether or
not the balance Of the consideration
is to be paid on the installment or de-
ferred payment plan. While his let
Tor Is not quite clear in this respect,
It may be inferred from his state
ment that the purchasers executed
their long term notes. that the am
cunt Of the consideration still due Is
not to be paid in installments. He
has received fairly substantial nrs'
payment, and as the balance is, un-
doubtedly, we'll secured, the obllga-
lions for the deferred payments are
to he regarded as equivalent to cash.
and the profits indicated by the en-
tire transaction should be treated as
taxable income for the year in winch
| the initial payment was made.
6For existing regulations covering
linstallment and deferred payment
sales of real estate, you are referred
| to Articles 44-46 Of Regulations 40.
After March 18th the chancery
clerks records are to be examined ane
every taxpayer who disregards the IN
come tax law will have good and SUI
ficient reasons for regretting It.
I am doing all / can to inform TIT
taxpayers and keep them out OF trou
BILE. II my warnings are disregardet
| no one is to be blamed but them
selves.
AS large number Of real estat'
sales took place in your section o
the state in 1919, trust you will SCI
lat to publish this letter.

Judging from the countless prepara-

keenly feel their excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are often due
to starved nerves. Our bodies need more
phosphate than Is contained in modern

as the organic phosphate, known among
druggists as Bitro- Phosphate, which n
Inexpensive and Is sold by Danforth's

OF satisfaction or money back. BY feed
ing the nerves directly and by supplying
the body cells with the necessary phOs-

THE FALL REPORT

stTHE report Of the Senate subcommittee investgat-
ing conditions in Mexico under the chairmanshp
Of Senator Albert B. FALL" said Samuel Gompers
amounts to declaration that unless the government OF
Mexico rewries its constitution accordance with the
ideas Of American oil and mining interests the govern
ment Of the United States Intervene in Mexico"
It ID a fair summary.
The Fail report contains few recommendations which
might proatably be carried out. But at the root Of it's
recommendations lies the unequvoca demand that the
Mexican constitution shall be rewritten in accordance
with the wishes and in the interests Of American inyes-
tors in Mexico.
It is outrageous demand and one unworthy OF the
