ty, shipped his entire dairy herd to
Palm Beach, the large and fashion
able winter resort of the East coast
of Florida, where he has rented
place for the winter After investi-
cation he found that he could profit
ably transport his herd of milk cows
to Palm Beach for the winter be-
cause of the great demand there for
the tourist period, and then bring
them back here again in the spring
when the farming season opens and
the resort is more or less deserted.
In addition he and his family will
have a balmy country in which to

Americans In China
Ask Income Tax Relief

SHANGHAI, Dec. 2S.-American
commercial bodies hele ana Ameri-
can commercial interests generally
in China are engaged in a campaign
to induce the United States con-
gress to pass a law relieving them
from the payment of income tax to
the United States treasury.
They have appealed to legislators
and members of commercial bodies in
the United States to aid them in
bringing about the passage by con-
gress of a federal incorporation act
for American companies in China,
which is expected to come before
congress in December.
The American business men here
have claimed. that they are at a dis
advantage owing to the fact that the
British doing business in China are
exempt from payment of an income
tax. The Shanghai Chamber of
Commerce has sent representatives
to Washington to present data to
members of congress in support of
their appeal.
