BAN PARI-MUTUAL AT ARIZONA
FAIR IN FUTURE, BELIEF

Rumors are afioat about the state
capitol that the present season of
pari-mutual betting at the fair
grounds is likely to be the last, even
though announcement has been made
that the ponies are to return in March
for a season much longer than the
three weeks Of play completed this
week.
The managers of the Golden West
Jockey club have been quoted as stat
ing that they have done as well as
they expe cted and that they have
about "brf ken even."
The average play is said to have
been about $4,000 t lay of whicn
about fifth was sun3Gracted for Cx-
pense~ and for the payment Cf per
centage to the state.
The purses have aggceg about
$2500 a day, while the Official expense
has been no incon3ida-able item, al
assumed to have bee met from the
admission receipts. no vcry notable
hard luck stories have come out Of
the pari-mutual rooL1 benefit the
grand stand, save that O: the change
cashier who was robbed of $3.50.
Many stories are Gf0at cf local win
nings, especially on horses that were
rank outsiders, apparently backed in
ignorance of the form charts. The
season mainly has been patronized by
local people, though there was as
sumption that it would draw even
thousands Of attendants from other
points.
After Saturday will be grand
hegira, mainly to Tiapuana. About
400 ponies are reported on the fair
grounds, crowded even into tents in
the backfeld Some of the owners
have not been "in the money" since
they came, and there is assumption
that they may not be able to ship
elsewhere at once.
While the suit against the pari-
mutual instituted by the Ku Klux
Klan was lost, strong church inf1u-
ences have been working against the
system, on the ground that it simply
is form of gambling inspected in
the Arizona restrictive laws and dec
laration will, be placed before the
voters a year hence.

willful refusal to make a return and
pay the tax on time.
Form 1040A,. heretofore used for
reporting net income of $4,000 and
less, from whatever source derived,
has been revised in the interests of
the largest class of axpayers---wage
earners and salaried persons. Redu-
ced from six pages to a single sheet,
Form 1040A is to be used for report
ing net income of $4,000 and less de-
rived chiefly from salaries and wages.
Persons any part of whose income
is derived from business or pro-
fession, farming sale of property or
rent, though the amount is $4,000 or
less, will be required to use the lar
ger form, 1910. The use of Form 1040
is required also in all cases where
the net income was in excess of 5000
regardless of whether from salary,
business, profession, or other tax
able sources.
1t being impossible to determine at
this time which form is desired, CO.
pies of both forms will be sent tax
payers who filed individual returns
for the year 1922, and may be OBJ
tanned also at the offices of collectors
of internal revenue and branch offices
upon written request.

HOLIDAY NUTS FROM MANY
COUNTRIES ARE INSPECTED

Under the food and drugs act the
United States Department of Agri-
culture makes inspections Of the diff
ferent kinds of nuts which enter into
interstate commerce and which are
tent to which the various nuts are
used is indicated in the reports to the
Bureau of Chemistry. which has
charge of the enforcement of this act
The kinds of nuts which are given
zils, chestnuts, filberts, peanuts, pee
ans, and walnuts. Such domestic
nuts as chinquapins, beechnuts, but
ter nuts, black walnuts, hickory nuts
and hazel nuts generally are handled
in small quantities for local distribu-
| ton. There is a large traffic in CO.
conuts, of which SO,OOO,O0O are i'm
ported annually, but no inspections
were made during the last year be-
cause previous conditions did not
warrants close inspection.
1t is estimated that, 100000
pounds of almonds were imported in
the shell during the fiscal year 1928,
and that 21,OO0,O0O pounds of shelled
nuts were imported from Spain, Italy
Portugal, and France. The Califor
ntia crop for the year 1922 was es-
timated at 100000 pounds. Prac-
tically 100000 pounds of brazil
nuts are brought in annually, most
! ly from Amazon ports of Manaos and
Para. 1t is estimated that more than
| 100000 pounds Of chestnuts are
imported annually, most of them
from Italy. with few from Spain
Portugal, and France. No figures are
reported on the domtstic production,
but it is we'll known that the produc
ton has been greatly reduced by the
chestnut blight, and it is probable
that on this account the domestic
chestnut soon will be practically off
the market.
Nearly 15,000,000 pounds of filberts
are brought to the United States each
year, mostly. from Italy, with small
ler quantities from Spain, France,
and the Levant countries. Shelled fill
berts to the amount of 3,850,000
pounds are brought in, principally
from Spain. The domestic crop of
peanuts for the 1922 season was 623,-
100000 pounds. Imports were estim
ated at $42438, 900 pounds of shelled
nuts and 3862,000 pounds of unshel-
led nuts. Several years ago import
ations of oriental peanuts were much
heavier, but the emergency tariff act
of May, 1921, providing duty of 5
cents a pound, and the tariff act of
1922, assessing a duty of 8 cents a
pound on unshelled peanuts and 4
cents on the shelled product, prob
ably caused the cut in imports.
There are no complete figures on
the domestic production of pecans.
The Georgia crop averages about l.
100000 pounds year and is increas-
ing as new trees come into bearing.
ImportationS are received from Mex
leo The annual imports of unshell-
ed walnuts amount to about 33,00O,-
900 pounds, from Italy, France, Chill
China, Japan, Czechoslovakia, and
Bulgaria About 13,330000 pounds
of shelled walnuts are received, most
of which come from France and small
Ter quantities from China and Spain.
The domestic crop in California the
last year was estimated at 54,000,000

early Saturday morning on train No.
21 for Stockton, California, to join
Mrs. Kyle, who went to that city sew
eral weeks ago in the hope that a
change to lower altitude would
prove beneficial to her health.
In his resignation Mr.. Kyle stated
that although he did not like to give
up his work here, it was necessary
since his wife could not live in this
altitude. 1t was thought that when
Mrs. Kyle left here she would be able
to come back in short time Ply
sicians on the coast, however, advised
her not to return to Winslow.
Mr.. Gammage expressed regret
Friday morning at the assembly per-
iod that Mr. Kyle, who had proved
himself a very capable and valuable
teacher, was leaving the High school.
Members of Mr.. Kyle's history class
gave him a beautiful farewell present
at the assembly.
No one has been selected to fill the
position of assistant principal.

Many Birmingham Folk at Inaugura-
 ton Parties

Inaugural day has passed-that in- spring, beautiful time that all Ala bama anticipates-with it's serious rites and it's more frivolous phases. its assemblage of the most brilliant and interesting personages of the state. with it's great get-together spirit that cements our Alabama family together.
 Birmingham has furnished an un- usual quota of visitors this year. many having motored down for the affair Mrs. Robert Jemison, Mrs. Victor H. Hanson. Mrs. Alex Walker, Mrs, Nat Miller, Miss Willie May Brandon, Mrs. H. U. Sims, Mrs, Hu- bert Seruggs, Mrs. J. Q. Smith, and Mrs. John Elliott Mrs. J. E. Frazier and Mrs. Levert Coleman were among those noted at the Capital City lunch con party.
 The inaugural ball, that wonder ful kaleidoscdpic scene with its vivid. rich colors, it's gay whirllng of winged feet, it's beautiful mingling of lights and shadows-took place last night at the city auditorium.
 The following word picture of the decorations at the auditorium in Montgomery was drawn by Tho Age Heralds bureau capital correspond ent.
 With the wealth of native material which grows in such profusion in Alabama, J. Hagood Patterson made of the auditorium a setting remark ably appropriate for the scene of the climax of the social program cele- brating the inauguration of typ ieal son of Alabama.
 Southern smilax, long needle pine. magneias, palms, gray moss, holly and pine cones combined to produce the most artistic results.
 The stage was fashioned into a garden scene-the lattice, within which the orchestra was seated and trelises covered with branches of holly in which white roses were in- terspersed.
 At the center of a large arch was a shield on which was wrought in red roses on a white field William ". Brandon-192S-1927. Education nterprise-Economy."
 The entire walls were massed with pine boughs, whose beautiful green provided lovely background for the various tints of the exquisite gowns.
 The huge chandelier in the center of the auditorium was festooned with garlands of the smilax which were alternated with streamers of the state colors. From the outer ring were suspended numbers of hanging ebasksts filled with ferns, cut flowers and gray moss.
 The gallery was lavishly decor ated with state and national colors. Around the balcony railing were shields bearing each the name of one of the former governors of Alabama beginning with William Wyatt Bibb and coming on to William Woodward Brandon. Singularly enough the initials of the first gov ernor are the same as those of the present one.
 Between these shields were classic wreaths of red immortelles caught at the base with holly branches and clusters of pine cones.
 While Fred H. Stewart brought to the scene rich coloring by his ar rangement of flags, shields and bunt- ing, the whole effect was ono of light, grace and beauty.
