INCOME TAXFAKIRS
TAKE HEED OF this.
Story Of AnaniaS and Sapphira
Repeated for Their Benefit

Washington, d. c., Nov. s.-Some
Americans little given to archaeology
may be startled by a recent find in
the Holy Land-the discovery of the
tomb of Sapphira- This lady and her
better known husband, Ananias, ac-
cording to Biblical record, were stri,
en- dead for classifying on their income
tax returns.
Though Ananias' black reputation
has been held up to greater scorn
than that of his better half, Sapphire
may succeed to the position of patron
saint of the worlds noted liars by
virtue of the startling revelations of
the Investigators. Sapphira, the
archeologist who dug up the tomb
near Jerusalem found. appears to
have lied in her very bones" accord
ing to a bulletin from the Washing
ton, d. c., headquarters of the Nation
al Geographic society.
Tomb Found BY Accident
The tomb was found by accident"
the bulletin continues. "In the course
of digging foundation near the
Bozaleel quarter, the hill west of Jer-
usalem, workmen found a burial
chamber. Inside was a plain ossuary
with the name 'Sapphira' engraved in
Hebrew and Greek, and containing
the full complement of bones.
'site and period pointed to the mid
die of the first century, and the sim
plicity of the tomb was in keeping
with the middle class social position
of Ananias and Sapphire and their
circle, 4 young archeologist who took
charge of the investigation ventured
still further in support of identifica-
ton, and called in medical advice on
the nature of the bones. The medical
rxpert Is reported TO have found the
bones were not the bones of a woman
they we're masculine! Where Sap
phira lies buried and who occupied
her mislabelled tomb probably never
will be known.
Were Charter Church Members
THE story of Ananias' and Sap
phira's ehastisement appears in the
Acts of Apostles. II had been the
custom of the land TO contribute
1.-THE or tenth to the church but the
new Christian church of which An
anias and Sapphira were virtually
charter members insisted on greater
saerifiees. Peter asked that profits OF
al sales be laid down before him and
distribution, unto every man accord
ing 90 their needs
"Ananias and Sapphira were we'll
to-do property owners and, though
subscribers to the church. evidently
f,lt this demand was too extreme.
Between them they made II up TO re-
port the price of a recent sale less
than IL actually was. But Peter caught
Anauias In the lie and Ananias hear
ing Peters condemnation, fell down
dead. Attendants carried Ananias out
aud then Sapphire was brought be-
tore Peter. She gave the same false
report and straightway fell dead"

ROBE DE STYLE
ATTRACTS favor
Copies Of Old Costumes Popular
in Partisan Circles
By MARIAN HALE

Paris, Nov. 6.--At all the fashion
able Paris couturiers you hear much
about the robe de style"
As l make il out this means dress
ing as picturesquely and gorgeously
as possible, regardless of what is sup
posed to be in vogue.
1t is the antithesis of the standar-
died tailormade frock.
II you have a feeling for the state
~, flowing robes worn by the Floren-
tine flappers of the middle ages, Just
copy some old painting or print ex-
actly, and you have a robe de style.
Remember, too, to conform to the
period you select with jewels, hair
dressing, shoes and all accessories.
Then you can have all the fun OF be-
ing In a costume play except that
you take part from the box rather
than the stage, ,
And some of the costumes you see
this year would draw the attention
of the average woman from the most
spicy French review TO the specta-
tors themselves.
Reviving Old Styles.
Lanvin and Lucille probably have
the greatest success with robes de
style.
Lanvin particularly has recreated
the medieval modes. Some of her
velvet frocks have very full, long
skirts. and very plain blouses which
reveal deep hoods or ecclesiastical
stoles in the back.
Her mannequins wear the most In
teresting hesddresses, all copied from
old paintings, or rather suggested by
them for they are startingly origi-
nal as well as authentic.
You wonder where she can pos
sibly have found the patterns for her
lovely brocades, embroderies and
jeweled ornaments, but they all bark
back to the middle ages.
Back To Victoria
The Victorian age, too, supplies in
spiration for many OF the most pic
turesuue frocks. Very full, long skirts
Of taffeta, are Joined TO plain little
bodices, with the drop shoulder line
that Is 80 popular now,
Gold and silver tissues are COM
bined with the most costly laces and
embelllshed with the most colorful
ribbons and flowers.
There is no end TO the individuality
possible in these lovely costumes but
there must be discrimination used as
to type. Not every woman has the
assurance and pcise necessary to look
like Cleopatra or Catherine de Medici.
when otner women are all striving to
look as 1929 as possible.

SON TAKING POSSESSION
OF FATHERS LAND
UNDER FORECLOSURE

Charles Zinser Is having a bunga-
low built on his fathers land east
OF the Stampede grounds. Charlea
recently obtained foreclosure
against the old gentleman. alleging
that Mr.. Zinser. senior. was in
debted TO him and showed q quit
claim deed and mortgage on the
home place signed by J. F. Zinser
In Charles favor. The balance OF
the Iinser family was arrayed
against Charles in the matter and
tried to show in court that Charles
had obtained milk from the elder
Iinser's cows for two years for
which no settlement had been made.
The defense also tried to show that
Charles suit was based upon fraud
In number OF respects. The court
held that the proceedings were regu-
lar and n verdict was rendered in
favor Of Charles.
Since the disposal OF the fore
closure suit, We are Informed that
new evidence has been discovered
and that the unusual spectacle OF n
son vs. his father viii again be
presented in court.

COMMERCIAL CLUB
WANTS EMERGENCY
FREIGHT RATES

As always. looking after the
needs OF the farmer. the Monte Vista
Commercial club Will ask the Santa
Fe. the Missouri Pacific. and the
Colorado Southern railroads to
grant a 20To reduction on the
freight rates for potatoes. This
course OF action was decided upon
after the Union Pacific railway
granted n similar reduction on the
rates for Idaho potatoes.
II the freight rates were lower.
the buyer can give the farmer "a
better price and more potatoes Will
be shipped. Unless this happens.
there will be thousands OF sacks of
potatoes which will be thrown out
this year because II does not pay
TO ship them. The volume OF bust
ness which the railroad will handle
Will be Increased enough to make
more profits for them than the pres
m, rate would. and yet. the farmer
would be benefited to n greater ex-
tent, The market price would re-
main the same.

favor OF the emergency reduction

the other roads have acted upon the

Bemis Bag Company
Gets Judgment Against
Local Farmers Union

The Bemis Bag company of
Omaha received judgment d
few days ago of $3287.OO
against the Monte Vista Farm
ers' Cooperative Produce Co.
The case was tried in Denver
and Ben Griffith represented
the Farmers Union.
1t seems that Fred Caldwell
manager of the Farmers Coop
erative Produce Co., had con-
tracted to buy supply of bags
from Bemis for 1922 business,
and then later refused to ac-
cept the order. The court held
that the Caldwell contract was
binding on his company and
rendered verdict accordingly.

SToCKMEN DERIVE
MANY BENEFITS FROM
H. o. C. STOCK SHOW

Attention to the benefits to be
derived from quality stock is one
OF the big things which the San
Luis Valley H. Y. G. stock show has
accomplished. The increase in the
number OF registered pure bred
stock in cattle. hogs and sheep In
the valley in the last few years IL
remarkable. The uniformly high
price paid for fine bred stock even
in years Of depression has well IL
lustrated the advisability OF doing
away with the scrub.
The recent premium paid over
market prices for quality cattle by
the Ohio buyers forcibly proves that
the valley livestock show has a
wonderful message to the livestock
man. The show is not merely past
time, an object lesson in what can
be done in the valley.
Liyestockmen all over the state
have been wonderfully encouraged
and stimulated by the Denver show
Not only did the banner animals
up on the bills bring big prices. but
down in the yards the demand for
quality stuff exceeded the supp.
and unprecedented prices were paid
for range bulls. feeder calves and
stock cattle.
The livestockman In the valley
cannot afford to miss the II. o. G.
show, February Z. and 3. For
quality stock shown. it cannot be
excelled by any other show. 1t is
the place where the breeders of the
valley see where their animals have
been improved and It sets good
example to the man who has pro-
crastinated in bettering his stock.
The pavilion has been completed.
The entries for the show are COM
Ing rapidly. 1t looks like this years
show is going to be record break
er. both in exhibits and In atten-
dance. for much interest is being
shown in this annual event.
big feature OF the show this
year Will be the dedication OF the
new pavilion. The committee IS
making arrangements and expect to
announce soon the entire program.
Out OF town speakers. as well as
home speakers viii be present for
the event which promises to be a
big one.
