 Not many years ago one of the favorite cries of those who wished to exploit for their own advantage the oft justifiable popular unrest and discomfort was that "the peo- pie were oppressed in the interest of bondholders-" The more ardent souls of this type wished to re- pudtate the national debt; to wipe 1t out as with sponge" in order to remove the oppression" The bondholders were always held up as greedy creatures who had ob- tained an unfair advantage on the people as a whole. We'll. the lib- erty loan now offers the chance to make the people the bondhold- CTS. Interchangeable terms.
 The bonds are issued in such way that the farmer and the wage worker have exactly the same chance as the banker to purchase and hold as many or few as they wish. No matter how small mans means he can get some part of a bond if he wishes. The government and the big financiers are doing all they can to make the sale as widely distributed as possible Some bankers are serving without pay in the effort to put all the facts before the people as whole, and make the loan in every truth a peoples loan. It rests with the people themselves to decide wheth- CT 1t shall be such.

When Barney Oldfield, master driver of the world and the track champion of the year, and Louis Chevrolet, the famous French pilot and the speedway champion of the year, meet in three racing duels at the Alabama State Fair next Saturday afternoon, each speed king will chase gold and glory alone-without the services of a riding mechanician.
 Because both Barney and Louis know that the other will throw fear and eau tion to tho winds and will drive as des- perately as he knows how in order to make his rival eat his dust, the two re- nowned speed monarchs have taken ad- vantage of a ruling of the American Automobile association that permits en- trants in races of less than 100 miles to drive alone. as neither Oldfield nor Chevrolet wishes his mechanician to take chances when there is loophole through which to escape them.
 The mechanicians of the two veteran servitors of speed-both Barney and Louis have been driving all sorts of courses longer by many years than any Of their rivals-heartily welcomed the announce

It embraces every kind of entertainment and abounds in surprises from the beginning to the end. One of it's picturesque effects is an animated toy number in which the minstrel men. posing against the wall as toys made by Santa Claus for dis tribution at Christmas time come to life and do a characteristic clog dance. During this whimsical skit there is also presented travesty on the tango dance, which has taken it's place as favorite comedy creation. The Al c.

At the Jefferson

Robert Bennett thought it was easy
 to tell the truth until he bet $10,000 that he would tell nothing but the
 truth for 24 hours. The play of that
 name unfolded the story of Roberts
 tribulations to a thoroughly pleased audience at the Jefferson theatre last
 night, where the refreshing farce by James Montgomery was presented for single performance.
 It has been said that funny plays
 are what the public wants in war
 times, and James Montgomery appar-
 entity believed 1t. Nothing But the
 Truth" stands with Fair and Warm
 CT" and Irwin Beds" and the rest ot
 the few as a notable farce success.
 A cleverly conceived plot furnished
 an inexhaustible series of funny situ- ations, with grand denouement
 wherein the hero undoes all the devil- ment of his truth telling after he has won his bet by lying copiously and with due regard for all the social con ventions. Having started by telling a social leaders daughter that her voice is terrible and her new hat awful, he had threatened the fortune and the
 domestic felicity of his senior part ner by telling Nothing But the Truth until the trio with whom he had wag- cred were in desperation.
 Harry Stubbs was most satisfac- tory Robert and Ned Burton was ex- ceptionally effective in the role of the senior partner. Carl Reed offered an original characterization as Clarence Van Dusen and Walter Woodall was an acceptable Bishop Doran. The wom- en of the play, with tho exception oi Mrs. R. E. French. in the part of Mrs Ralston, were not particularly well cast.
 Some faithful advance tip had reached Birmingham about 'Nothing But the Truth" and the attendance was excellent

mert that they could be interested spec tators of the speed duels between the pair of oldtimers and theft smoke belch- ing speed chariots
 One of the big surprises of the year in the racing world has been the fact that It's two oldest pilots-Barney and Louis are its two champions. Oldfield defeat ed all rivals. including the redoubtable Italian speedster, Ralph De Palma, in contests over dirt tracks, winning races at Milwaukee, Detroit, Indianapolis,
 Providence St. Louis, and Cleveland. Chrevolet has won all the big board speedway grinds-those at Cincinnati. Uniontown, New York and Chicago. l Chevrolets g phenomenal success in best ling all other entrants in the gasoline debris on the big speedways was the basis of the match races with Oldfeld. as, having been crowned the speedway champion of the world. he was ambitious | to wear Oldfield's crown of dirt track champion on his foreign brow.
 1 When the Frenchman's yearnnigs were conveyed to Barney, he was not bit l loath to give Chevrolet his chance, as l he Is quite confident that after the dust settles behind the racing creations in their encounters that he will still be the victorious champion and Chrevolet the vanquished.

 money. It is 8 patriotic duty to purchase the bonds and they offer an absolutely safe investment. The money invested is invested on the best security in the world-that of the United States: of the American nation itself. The money cannot be lost unless the United States is de- stroyed and in that case we would all of us be smashed anyhow, so that 1t would not make any diff ference.
 The people can, if they choose. now make themselves the bond holders. If they do not so choose and if they force Wall street to become the largest purchaser of the bonds, which must be bought somehow, then they will have no right in the future to grumble about the bondholders as special class.
 We can now all of us, join that class If we wish.
