MAJESTIC THEATRE KALA-

Ii there ever was vaudeville house
that offered better talent at Majestic
prices, no one seems to remember where.
The bill for the last half of the presen
week, which st rts with the Thursday
matinee, is called the "Bill of all Ma
tions" because the acts on this program
have been drawn from all ends of the
globe.
On Sunday, September 10, those who
attend the Majestic will see for the first
time, outside OF the very largest cities
Will j. Ward and his FIVE piano girls.
There are five pianos on the stage at one
time and the music is certainly unusual
for it is seldom during a lifetime that
one has the opportunity of hearing a
massed band, ore might say, like this,
Barnold's Dog Bandits are another feat

Success Is full Of promise till

A cunning man overreaches

SEALS SALE { STATE ]
Many Orders H Chambers County A1rer
 the Pennant

The Alabama Anti-TubercuIosis league headquarters, at 1212 Empire building. have done rushing business during the past week. It is Red Cross seals that make things hum. Many letters have gone to prominent citizens in various counties, and returns have begun to | come in.
 One little girl writes, 'My papa gave the seals to me to sell, and here's the money" Two dollars were enclosed by postoffice money order.
 Another. writes: This is from victim of tuberculosis who has a dollar" and sends a dollar bill. Replies from about half the addresses have come in only about S5 per cent of these with cash.
 More workers than ever before are in the field in many counties. Chambers county is threatening to carry off the pennant. But Butler and Walker are do- ing well. It remains to be seen whether Jefferson will let another take her crown. There are two weeks left for the trial of patriotic effort. Lee and Morgan are going to be heard from. New orders are coming in daily. Hence it is a very open question which is the wide-awake county as concerns the fight against tuberculosis.

MRS. MATTHEWS BOOK
 MAKES APPEARANCE
Former Birmingham Girl, Now living in Montgomery, Author of 'Tom
 and Betty-AIsO Belgun"

Another Alabama woman has broken into print That is she has broken out in book form.
 For the past two years Mrs. Pitt Lamar Matthews of Montgomery has been en- tertaining the children of south Ala bama by means of her rather unusual style of writing to them and for them.
 Friday her first book made it's ap- pearance on the market.
 Tom and Betty-Also Belgun," is the title of the little book.
 Tom being the small son of wealthy planter, Betty the wee daughter of the plantation overseer, and ''Belgun,' Betty s dearly beloved and ever-present doll
 The stories are so full of human in- terest and are so full of laughter and childish heart-aches that they will ap- peal to all lovers of children as well as to the children themselves. Mrs. Mat thews is president of the Montgomery Press and Authors club, and is a former Birmingham girl.
 Before her marriage she was Miss Lou Emma Eastburn, who will be remem- bered by probably a hundred or more Birmingham people as My teacher, when went to the Paul Hayne school"
 Mrs. Matthews is spending the week. end with relatives in Birmingham.

SHOULD vOLTAIRE COME?

This is an excellent field for the man V ho declines to regard any situation as wholly vital. On the surface, at any rate, the difference between an Alabama legislature and a Congress is relative. Each is chiefly adept in posing. Each ap- parently desires to impress with it's im- portance, to dispel the preconceived idea of the skeptic that without it's existence, the world could not long endure.
 Each has the same inaptitude to work The prohibition legislature, as is remem- hered. required practically a year un- satisfactorily to discharge the obligations of 50 days. Congress met Monday, ad- journed; met Tuesday to permit the President to deliver his message and ao5cl rned again. Friday, Congress met for moment.
 But in the introduction of bills, Con- gress like the Alabama legislature, is remarkable. In six hours of actual ses- sion. 6000 bills have bden presented-an average of 1000 per hour. It is interesting in this connection to recall the fact that during the last session, S0000 bills were introduced and less than 800 enacted into law.
 And this suggests that favorable pas ge in English literature-"All the worlds a stage, and all the men and women merely actors.''

 Governor Henderson declared that the agreement with these financial institu- tions contemplated that the warrants would be paid January 15, February 15, and March 15, during which preiod the bulk of the tax receipts are paid into the treasury"
 The tax money received for October of the present year, according to the governor amounted only to $5,S13.10, while teachers salaries for that month amounted to more than S400,00O. For the month of November, the tax receipts were something over $230,000, while the teachers salaries amounted to $360, . 900.
 The governor presents his reasons for favoring the bond issue in clear and concise manner, and closes his statement with the declaration that regardless of whatever action you may take upon this bond issue in Jan- uary, it will present no impelling rea- son for the reasssembling of the legis- ature."

GOVERNOR GIVES REASONS
 FOR URGING BOND ISSUE

Montgomery, December Il. - (Spe- cial. .)-Governor Henderson this after noon gave out statement giving fur ther reasons why the voters of the state should favor a bond issue to pay the floating indebtedness
 The question arises he said, should the state itself provide this money to settle its obligations, or should it re- quire those to whom it is inhabited to carry it for the state?
 The governor then points out that those who favor the latter plan will op- pose the bond issue, but he does not think that the people as a whole are constituted that way" For, he asserts they are first interested in seeing that justice is done"
 The statement by the governor is an additional explanation of the condition of the treasury. He shows that at the close of the fiscal year ending Sep tember 30, last, the deficit was $2,250,- 900. This amount had been provided for with financial institutions, With the

WALLACE TO BE RETAINED

For the office of state game and fish commissioner, it is unlikely that the voters of the state will select any other than the present commissioner, John H. Wallace, Jr.. who was responsible for the creation of the department. There appears to be no doubt of MT. Wallace's ability to hold the office as long as he desires.
 In addition to the congressional and state offices to be filled at the next election, there will be a large number of judicial positions to be supplied, as we'll as many county offices. The time is hardly ripe for announcements for these places. but as soon as the bond issue election has been disposed of there will be entries by the score, and, perhaps, by the hundred. NJ
