Play Time.

In a recent stirring meeting of
the Parent Teachers Association
in one of our neighboring pro.
gressive townships, Hattiesburg,
Miss, the Superintendent of
Schools made made an earnest
appeal for the support Of Public
Fairgrounds, Y. M. G. A., Boy
and Girl Scouts, in order to pro.
perly take care of recreation hours
of the boys and girls. He alleged
that much distressing looseness
of morals resulted from lack of
the proper provision being made
for the children's play hours.
Franklinton's Boy and Girl
Scouts are just in the initial stage,
but are showing a healthy normal
development. The cooperation
of every man and woman in the
community is solicited In this
movement, also in the effort to
secure playground equipment for
the school park, and in the very
trying and taxing movement to
put on a clean, bright motion pic
ture entertainment every Friday
evening at the school auditorium
Our natures demand recreation
A good laugh is a tonic. Taking
us out Of ourselves lifts US up
ward. II we do not meet this de-
mand Of Our young peoples ma
lures with Legitimate entertain
ment, they are very apt to resor
to the wrong kind. Let US az
community be one In Our effor

Income Tax Facts We Should
Know.

Births, deaths, and marriages
during the year 1920 affect mater.
tally income tax returns for that
year.
Millions of babies were added
to family circles, each of whom
brings an exemption of $500 in
the parents income tax return.
Widows and widowers who lost
their husbands or wives during
the year are especially affected.
They are single for the purpose
of the income tax law and are
granted only an exemption of
$1,000, unless the head of fam.
lily.
Persons who were divorced or
separated by mutual agreement
during the year also must con-
slider themselves as single persons.
The status of the taxpayer on
Decembdr 81, 1920, determines
the amount of the exemptions. Ii
on that day the taxpayer was
married and living with wife or
husband, claim may be made for
the $4,000 exemption. If single or
married and not living with wife
or husband on December 81, the
exemption is only $1,000.
Persons who reached majority
during the year and whose earn
ings for that period amounted te
$1,000 or more, according to their
marital status, must file a return
and pay a tax on their net income
in excess of these amounts.
To avoid penalty, the return
must be in the hands of the Col
lector of Internal Revenue for tn
district in which the taxpaye1
lives, or has his principal place o
business, on or before midnigh
of March 10, 1921.

Today and Monday at the Crescent.
The last presentation OF The In
side of the Cup the much discussed
picture now at the Crescent The
tire, will be tonight Those who ike
great pictures such as this, should
not fail to G It.
The last word in motion picture
development will have been spoken
when the latest Ince-Paramount
production, IAN Old Fashioned Boy,
starring Charles Ray, is presented
at the Crescent Theatre for 3 days,
commencing Monday. h picture
carries off honors as the first photo
play photographed without an iris.
To those who may be unfamiliar with
the technical terms of a studio, an
iris is explained as the "fade-out,
which generally Is seen at the con-
clusion Of each episode and which,
TO the screen, is the same as the
lowering of the curtain on the stage.
Wide interest has been aroused
over the unusual quality of a pic
ture without an iris, in that hither-
to producers have affirmed hat It
was necessary to 5 the iris or
fade to indicate a turn OF events
or a transition of action.
Agnes Christine Johnston, author
Of An Old Fashioned Boy" asserts
that this effect may be gained by
the use of contrasting scenes or a
quiet bit of human interest after the
exciting intensely dramatic action
sequences.
Without the iris, the action of An
Old Fashioned Boy" is continuous
and audiences will enjoy the novelty
of witnessing the unfolding of the
entire story without a break or
fade"

The Ridiculous TO the Sublime"
