H'E~
INCOME TAX

Many errors are made by taxpayers
in claiming losses incurred in the sale
Of residential properties. A loss on the
sale of property purchased or con-
structed by the taxpayer for use as his
personal residence and SO used up to
the time of its sale Is not deductible.
Where, however, property so purchased
or constructed is prior to its sale, rented
or otherwise appropriated to income
producing purposes, and Is used for
such purposes up to the time of its
sale, a loss is deductible. The deduction
allowable is an amount not to exceed
the excess of the value of the property
at the time it was so rented or other
wise appropriated with proper adjust
ment for depreciation), over the amount
realized from the sale. However, in the
case Of property so appropriated prior
to March /, 1918, the loss Is an allow
able deduction in an amount not to ex-
coed the excess Of the value of the prop
erty at the time 1t was so appropriated
or at March l, 1913, whichever is great
er with proper adjustment for depre-
ciatton) over the amount realized from
the sale.
Example: Residential property was
purchased by a taxpayer in 1922 for use
as his personal residence at a cost of
$4,000, of which $4,000 was allooable
to the building. The property was so
USED Dy the taxpayer until January l.
1927. From that date until December
81, 1929, when the property was sold, it
was rented by the taxpayer. The fair
market value Of the property at the
time 1t was rented on January /. 1927
was $4,000. The building had an es-
timated life of 20 years when the prop
erty was purchased by the taxpayer in
1922. The property was sold on Decem-
Der 81, 1929, for $4,000. The loss from
the sale allowable as a deduction is
$3.50. computed as follows

CUSTOM OFFICE AT
RAYMOND MAY OPEN
SOON IS The REPORT
Latest Report is January End,
1881 as Opening Day for
Canadian Port

Word has been received in Plenty
wood that the Canadian authorities
contemplate opening the customs and
immigration offices north of Ray
mond, for business, early in January.
They are apparently advancing the
date for this opening at least two
months from what had been intim-
ated only a few weeks ago.
That there is more than umo to
this report is given strength through
the fact that the U. S. Customs Of
ficials at Dooley was a Raymond Wis
itor only a few days ago at which
time he was looking for a dwelling
house for his family.
To Complete Road
Co-incident with these reports of
the early opening of Customs and I'M
migration offices at Raymond and inn
mediately across the boundary, the
Board of directors of the Plentywood
Commercial Club met on Monday at
which time they drafted a resolution
to the Board of County Commission
ers requesting that they designate
the road from three miles south Of
Antelope and into Plentywood is the
next link of highway which the State
highway commission must complete.
They also asked that the road from
Raymond to the boundary line north
be improved s. as to compare favor
ably with the road between Plenty
wood and Raymond.
Immense Tourist Traffic
This will mean an immense amount
Of tourist traffic through Sheridan
county, and in the future it will not
be such a mess of trouble for tour
lists to obtain clearance across the
boundary line, as it has been in the
past.

year old hired man, when he admit
ted having buried these people last
February.
>Several weeks ago suspicion arose
when mortgages fell due on the Ha-
ven premises, and their whereabouts
were being investigated. Haven had
told ~neighbors that the family had
left for Oregon last February and
that he had taken them to Williston.
Investigations brought light that
they had never been seen in Willis
ton or at the point in Oregon from
which Bannon claimed he had receiv-
ed letters from them.
Bannon was arrested on a charge
of grand larceny for selling stock
ard after continuous grilling, he fl
nally admitted the terrible crime.
WILLISTON, N. D., Dec. 15.-U.P.
To speed the trial of Chas. Bannon,
~22-year-old farm hand who confessed
he killed six members of the Haven
family, the present district court will
be kept in session, States Attorney
]. S. Taylor, announced Monday.
Murder Charges Filed
Murder charges in the first degree
were on file against the youth who
calmy told officials how he had lured
the members of the family singly
into their farm home and had beaten
them over the head with a hammer.
Barnon insisted he alone, vas respon-
sible for the crime, but authorities
filed murder charges against his ia
Their, James A. Bannon. The elder
man was being held by police at To-
ledo, Oregon.
County sheriff C. A. Jacobsen of
Williston left Monday to bring Ban
ron back here to face questioning
about his disappearance prior to his
sons arrest. Charles was in court on
charges of embezzling hogs from the
Haven farm, when he suddenly re
vealed he had helped bury six bod
les. Later he told how he killed them.
Bodies Recovered Saturday
The bodies of Mrs. A. f. Haven
and her infant daughter were recov-
cred Saturday night when officials
went to the Bannon farm at Charles
direction. The bodies Of the father and
his three sons, Daniel, 10; Leland, 16,
and a 3 year old child, were found
chucked under the Haven barn. All
the corpses were badly ~decomposed.

RUMORS REGARDING
|AASS CONNECTIONS
With P. N. ARE FALSE
Requests Interview with Her
aid and Explains Attitude
on Reports Circulated

William Hass of Outlook, call
ed at the Herald office on Tues
day afternoon and requested that
we publish the following inter-
view with him:
The stories Circulated that |
have again Joined hands with
the officers of the Producers
News is untrue. There is not
one scintilla of truth in the re-
port that | made 0vertures to
the Democratic party to attempt
to sell them the Producers News
plant; nOr is there any truth in
the report that | had agreed to
purchase the Donovan mortgages
with the intended idea of resell
ing them to Joe Dolin. Another
statement that | had agreed to
finance that newspaper for any
sum whatsoever, whether S1O.-
100000 or $1.OO is also without
any foundation of fact. All of
these stories have been spread by
the PlentywOod officials of that
organization to encourage the
board of directors to continue Car
rying the excessive burden. This
debt load is now SO great it can
lead to only one thing-receiver-
ship and foreclosure.
Taylor has bit the hand that
fed him for the last time, as far
as | am concerned, althoug he is
still keeping a meal ticket well
filled by those who still believe
in him, and which money would
be better used to feed their own
families.
II have talked to the directors
many times during the past s
years, warning them that in time
they too, would get their eyes
opened, and my only hope now is
that they will lose as much as |
did.
They are still trying to use
my name as a bug-a-bOo or lead
goat to bolster up the hopes of
the staunch followers who still
remain with Taylor, just in order
to keep his meal ticket well fill
ed.
mot one cent for that outfit,
nor any support of any kind"
was Mr.. Hass' closing remark.

Christmas Program
at Lutheran Church
is Well Presented

The Christmas program given at
the Lutheran church in Plentywood
last night, was an exceptionally we'll
planned and masterfully rendered en-
tertainment, so appropriate for this
holiday season, and depicted the com
ing Of the Christ child to this earth
in such a beautiful way that the con
gregation and visitors were unani-
nous in declaring it the best Christ
mas program ever given in Plenty
wood.
The building was packed long be-
fore the time for the program and it
is estimated that not less than $50
persons were able to enter the build
ing either as participants in the pa
geant and program, or as visitors.
The attendance in the Lutheran
church has increased so greatly that
plans are now being considered for
the enlargement of that edifice.

Faith AND
FACTS

FAITH marches at the head of the Army of Progress;
it abounds in the freest and beet government; is found
beside the most refined life and is the essence OF friend
ship and purest humanity. 1t lays a comforting hand up
on the heavy heart and quickens the soul into renewed
action.s
DURING periods of material depression with finan-
when one should draw heavily upon the Faith and
Confidence account. Where there is the builder there
also abdes the wrecker; where the worker there also
TIE drone. The pessimist shadows the optimiat; the
sowe, of seeds of discord, scandal and untruths nullifies
tie labor of he who fosters security, stability, sunshine
ard happiness.
A PERIOD such as we are now passing through Is ter
tile soil for the seed Of discord and the scoundrel who
would wreck the existing order is working overtime at
his low-brow nefarious game. His wish would be fulfilled
and his face would light with glee were our schools, our
churches and our institutions trampled into the very
dust. Such Individuals are a menace to society; they are
barnacles upon the Ship of State and deter its progress.
THIS institution, together with others, has been the
object of vicious and contemptuous untruths. For a per-
iod we felt that ~thirty-five years of residence in the
Northwest and twenty one in this particular section
should be sufficient fortification against these unwar-
should be steadfast. The sc~andalmonger and calamity
bowler is persistent and grows holder in this resistless
attitude and we are forced to set the HEEL OF TRUTH
upon the viper's head and crush him into silence.

statement of the FIRST STATE BANK OF FROID but
also that of H SCHNITZLER CORPORATION.

Clothing Is
Donated to
City:SNeedy

Indianapolis Flower Mission has
dispensed with frills for Christmas
treats for families under its care in
favor of distribution of necessary
food and clothing, according to Mrs.
David Ross, board president. The
change was made because of the
greater distress and the fact that
the Mission is without a central
hospital.
In former years celebrations have
been held in the little hospital
maintained for twenty eight years
on city hospital property for tuber-
cular patients.
More than six hundred garments
have been distributed among TWEEN

visitor, and Mrs. James H. Loves,
treasurer and former superintend-
ent of the hospital. Many patients
did not have clothing to attend the
clinic.

Leather Coat
Is Smart for
Woman Skater

For women who love winter sports,
everything in skating chic this year
seems to depend on the jacket and
that means a jacket of leather.
The sportswomah may pick out
a smooth calfskin with big pockets
and belt, or a shortwaisted wind
breaker of suede, or perhaps a col
larless chamois jacket with a slide
metal fastener.
In any case she'll have made a
good start toward being smart
1881 skater, according to til Wom-
an Home Companion.
Browns, wine red, dark green's
these are the favorite colors for the
leather jacket and for the sturdy
skirt that harmonizes.
This skirt can be of tweed, cordu-
roy, or velveteen and always it
should be cut to allow plenty of
room for skating strides. Pleats,
either straight or circular, are a
smart means to this end.
There's quite a new feeling about
sports stockings for winter. No
longer do the bright large patterned
woods hold first place.
Silk and wool stockings with a
small mesh-like construction are
the new thing, or all-wool stockings
with a two-color tweed weave.

ter places, and you may even de-
pend on it for good style next
summer"
All the women at Biarritz this
season, Mrs. Little reports, wore
pajamas for boating or lounging on
the beach.
The styles were simple enough, a
pair of red jersey trousers. for in
stance, over a white bathing suit.
Over another bathing suit was worn
a nautical outfit of stiff white linen,
sailor cap, kerchief and all.
Even the older women took to
pajamas-graceful pleated affairs of
pastel silk.
During the rest of the day-golf
time and tea time-everybody wore
sports frocks. Usually these were
as simple as a sleeveless tub silk
with jerey cardigan thrown across
the shoulders or pink shantung
trimmed il white.
And a Il &c linen jacket costume
banded II blue was considered
smart fo the end of the day.
