in such elections, "certain sections
of cast Chester county have expressed
their desiic to leave Chester
county and join York county, and regardless
of what our opinions may be
as to the wisdom of such a step and
the fairness or justice of one section of
a county childishly taking umbrage at
what they regarded as an inequitable
division of road funds?(a situation
which the rest of the county readily
admitted and by their voles on the 31st
of August last made every effort to
right) instead of remaining part and
parcel of their native county and fighting
the battles of the future together
?the result of the election to us is sufficient.
Personally, we must regret the
step which is taking these good people
out. of Chester county; but as we have
all along contended, the step is one that
concerns them principally. W,e know
that we have many warm friends in
that section, and they know that.we
are perfectly sincere when we express
the hope that the change will be all

We would not think any seriousness
wouhl he attached to such a proposal,
although the gentlemen who have I he
matter in mind doubtless mean well. It
would be foolish to enact sucli a law.
which would stand neither the lest of
public sentiment or constitutionality.
The bill has not been widely discussed
and it is* not necessary to discuss it.
What it aims for is all right, and a
good and just, cause, but it is not going
after it in the right way. Reduction
of cotton acreage is imperative and
ought to be encouraged, but the farmer
has the means in his own hand and
needs no legislative enactment to help
him. The executive committee of

Saturday morning. The following were

BEN FRAN,KLIN'S BIRTHDAY.
* '? \
Two Hundred and Fifteenth Annivec- ,
sary Recently Celebrated.
Two hundred and fifteen years ago'in
Huston, January. 17.. 170U,.., was .porn
Benjamin Franklin, son of a tallow
chandler, youngest of 17 children. One 1
hundred and thirty-one years a pro he
died in Philadelphia. His was a career
filled with hip things. Few excelled
either as printer, journalist, diplomat,
statesman or philosopher. 1
If for no other reason, Franklin
would he remembered as the author of
"Poor Richard's Almanac," the reputation
of which he established in its first,
number, his age then being 2G, purely
by its literary merit. For twenty-six
years he was its editor, and during this
time the compliment has since bee::
paid him that "this annual was loukoe
forward to by a larger portion of the
colonial population and with more impatience
than now awaits a president's
annual message to congress," The almanac
is credited with having more
readers in the English or any other language
than any other publication excepting
the Bible.
Franklin was great on advice. Here
is what lie had to say of virtues and
their precepts: '
Temperance: Eat not to .dullness;
drink not to elevation. *
Silence: Speak not hut what may
benefit others or yourself; avoid trifling
conversation.
Order: Let all your things have
their place; let caeh part of your business
have its t'me.
Resolution: "Resolve to perform what
you ought: perform without fail what
you resolve. .
Frugality: Make no expense but to

BRITfSHER DEFEATED.;.;
American Bantamweight Whips English
Champion.
Pete Herman of New Orleans, former
in Albert Hull, London, last week, decisively
defeated Jimmy Wilde, long the
British idol. '
The end came in the 17th round when
the referee intcrfcrrcd and stopped the
bout to save the little Welshman from
x knockout.
Although in the last round Wilde three
times had been knocked through the
ropes, lie still was coming back for
punishment when the referee caught
him in his arms, ended the battle and
gave the decision to the American lad.
The fight had been advertised as being
the bantamweight championship or
the world.
The men had agreed to weigh in 118
pounds, but Herman was 11-2 pouncts
over the stipulated weight.- The firstfirst
five rounds were in favor of Wilde.
Then the advantage alternated until the
fifteenth, when Herman's weight began
to' tell on the Welshman!^' T.
Early in the .seventeenth,_a right to
the jaw sent Wilde through the ropes.'This
was twice repeated and the;referee
ended the contest.:, .? ,' iy \, .*
Herman surprised the crowd by his
boxing, which discounted Wilde's ag
grossivcness. The American fought a
sportsmanlike contest throughout and
was well received by the spectators.
? Though formal action for agreement
has not been taken, the banks of
Florence are understood to have quite
unanimously adopted the policy of no
loans on cotton without 50 per cent reduction
of acreage.

INCOME TAX EXEMPTIONS.
? t
Heads of Families, $2,C0C; Single Per- .
sons, $1,000.
Single persons, though required to
file a return if their net income for
1920 was $1,01)0 or more, are, if they
arc the heads of families, granted a
special exemption under the revenue
laws. Such a person is defined by
treasury regulations as "a person who
actually supports and maintains in one
household one or more individuals who
arc closely connected with him by blood
relationship, relationship by 'marriage',
.or:by adoption, and whose right to exercise,
.family control and' provide for
these ilep'cndcnt individuals is based
upon some moral or legal obligation."
Such persons arc allowed the exemption
of $2,000 granted a married per,son.
_ In addition, they are allo\yed a
credit of $200 for eacli dependent under
18 years of age or incapable of self-support
because mentally or physically
defective.
Husband and Wife.
A married person living with husband
and wife cannot claim an additional
$2,000 exemption as the head of
a family. His or her exemption is
based upon the marital status, irrespective
of the support of others living in'
the same household. The additional
$200 for dependents docs not apply to
the husband dr wife of a taxpayer. For
example, if a married man supports a
father who Is Incapable of self-support
he is entitled to the $200 credit for such
person. If through force of circumstances
he supports his wife away
from home he is entitled to the $2,000
exemption allowed a married person,
hut not to a $200 credit ,for a dcpeiidcnt.
f
A Son who- hns 'left .home; but who'
sends his mother more than one-half
the sum required fni* her support is en^
titled: to. the $200 credit, provided the
mother can* n*ot support herself. Otherwise,
the amount must he considered
as a gift, and, therefore, the credit is
not allowed. A son living at home and
supporting his father, mother, or other
relative may claim the $2,000 allowed
the head of a family, but not the $200
