Provided both Alabama and Vanderbilt play their scheduled brand of ball at Redwood Saturday, a battle of all the fferceness of the Sewanee-Alabama clash lass week can be expected. Advance re- ports from the camps indicate the teams rrined for the battle, despite the fact hat each aggregation went through a gruel!ing battle last Saturday.
 Although Vandy was eliminated from the race for the southern football title by their overwhelming defeat at the hands of the Georgia Tech Yellow Jack cts, they have hopes of administering a few other teams the knockout blow be- fore the curtain falls on Thanksgiving Day. Vandy plays Alabama, Auburn and Sewanee and it Is the lone desire of the Commodores, after being slaughtered by the powerful Golden Tornado to put this trio out of the running.
 Vandy meets the Crimson here Satur- day, and another real battle is expected. The Commodores were not materially weakened by their terrible defeat from Tech and will perhaps come to Birming- ham with their strongest aggregation of the season. There is no doubt but the knocks in the Tech game taught the green Vandy players many lessons, and they'll probably profit on the Crimson for their tough experience.

NORTH vs. SOUTH

 that Alabama can have a real foot ball team
 NORTH VS. SOUTH
 Until within recent years the north and the east have seldom played southern teams, but this year it has been more of a custom than hereto fore. Ohio State is coming south to take on Mike Donahues athletes on November 24, Ohio has a fast team with one Chic Harley and other well known celebrities and when the two teams meet in Montgomery somewhat of q good comparison can be made ot the quality of southern football with that of 8 championship team from the north.
 If only Auburn had either the team of 1913 or 1914, wouldn't it be some battle? Those are past happy days for the Tiger. but still Auburn will give those Yankees" all they are looking for in the matter of foot ball.
 Now comes an essay With AIessrs. Strupper Guyon, Hill and gang on the rail, it is hard to dope out just what Auburn will do. Some kind hearted gentleman was good enough to say the other day that Auburn might beat Georgia Tech.
 ANXIOUS TO BEAT TECH Well, such a thing has been done, and it was done with such surprising regularity until the last two years that Georgia Tech did not know she was in Atlanta. However, that became past history two years ago and now Auburn is struggling to perform feat that every team who Tech has gone up against has failed to do, and that is to nose out a victory. Maybe the Golden Tornado" will hit up against a stone wall when Coach Donahue sends his cohorts to Atlanta Thanksgiving. Well, if spirit in the team and in the student body can ac- complish such a thing, Coach IIcts- man might just as well quit training his team for the battle, for they sure have got the old pep here when 1t comes to beating Tech. No doubt this game with Auburn will prove the real classic of the southern gridiron this year, as the ones who are iu close 1 touch with the Donahue mach;re know l he has developed out of green mate- rial a well moIded and smooth run- ming team.
 l Time alone will tell the tale. and | in the meantime the Auburn team Is practicing night and day to pull win 1 in this last battle of the season.

CLOSE GAME EXPECTED

In the Crimson Commodore clash, grid- iron bugs are promised another treat. Both teams, as was the case in last Sat urday's conflict, will feature in the open play. Alabama's green stars learned much, chiefly not to try forward passes in the closing moments of play, when in the lead.
 Vandy has never invaded Birmingham in recent years without team which was capable of going against the best in Dixie and making a splendid showing. The Commodores are weaker this year, that Is admitted. but they are not in- ferior to the majority of the southern ag- gregations.
 Coach Dan McGugin will undoubtedly drive his men hard for the game with Alabama. Vandy has never been de- feated by an Alabama eleven, and they will come to the Magic City with the sole hope of preventing a defeat, if nothing else.
 But Alabama followers point with pride to the showing the Crimson made Satur- day, and predict an easy win for the Kelly machine,

NO EASY TIME

It's cinch Alabama won't have an easy time with the Nashville team. The game will be hard fought, and every inch of ground will be contested to the limit It promises to be nifty little game
 Sewanee should experience no trouble with Mississippi university, while Georgia Tech will overwhelm the Tulane team Auburn is slated for a hard earned vic- tory over Davidson. Kentucky State and Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical are slated for tough battle, with the odds favoring the Kentuckians.
 Three more big dates and the curtain will close the 1917 grdiron campaign, but some mighty good and surprising games can be staged in that time.

Federal Farm Loan

We HOW have two Federal Farm
Loan organizations in Richland
County. Any farmer desiring to
maxi loan can do SO at almost
any time. For further informa-
ton write or call the County
Agent. Because many people mis-
understand the law, [ will answer
a few questions.
Qcustion. What is the rate of
interest?
Answer. 5 per cent.
Question. When can debt be
paid off?
Answer. Any time after five
years.
Question. Can you place a Sec
ono mortgage on your farm if yo,l
! like!
Answer. Yes, you can.
Question, Are you required to
take stock in the Farm Loan
Bank?
Answer. Yes, up to 5 per cent
OF the amount borrowed. This,
however, will ultimately pay you
dividends and reduce your inter
est rate below 5 per cent. Thi.,
stock is a good investment for yo,,
and is all returned to you when
,:our loan is paid up.
Question. Why are some PEG
pie talking against Federal Farm
Loans!
Answer. Because it enables
farmers to get money at ) per cent
whereas heretofore they paid, 6, I
and s per cent. This means l, 2,
or 3 per cent out of their pockets
into the farmer 's~pocket. That is
good enough reason for any one
to talk against it.
Question. Is there red tape
connected with it?
(! Answer. Absolutely none, ex-
cept such requirements as are nee
cssary to make it entirely safe. :.
Qeustion. What causes the de-
lays?
Answer. The delays are caused
by farmers not getting their alb
stracts and deed in shape. After
the farmer has his title in shape,
he can have his money at once.
