Following the assessors came the tax farmer. who bought the right of collecting taxes from the Turkish gov ernment for a lump sum, and then went down to the villages to get what profits he could for himself The government was cheated and the cultivator was cheated, and if the tax farmer cheated both in this transaction, he was probably cheated in turn by someone else in an- other transaction The Turkish govern ment extracted as much money from the country as it possibly could, and spent as little as it could in maintenance pub llc services or development.

The management of the New Ma jestic announces that by special ar engagement Oliver Moroscos celebrated new Broadway success, The Brat, will be offered with dainty little Mae Park in the title role, supported by the entire cast of the Maddocks-P Park players for one whole week. begin ming next Monday.
 "The Brat, will be remembered by theatregoers as one of the most suc- cessful of recent New York plays, and one that created wealth of fa- vorabie comment all over the country last season when it was given it's in ital presentation on Broadway, liter ally packing the theatre to the doors for more than 200 straight perform ances. This play is now being of fered by the larger road companies playing the legitimate houses. and was seen here in Birmingham early this season at s1.50 admission.

The character of ''The Brat is one that demands an amount of histrionic ability that few stock stars possess but so admirably adapt ed to the part is Miss Park that a number of the cleverest directors of dramatic productions in the country have unhestatinsly predicted that she will in this role surpass anything she has ever attempted.
 Miss Park, supported by the entire company, will be seen each and every afternoon. and night at the New Ma jestic this week, marking the twelfth consecutive week that this popular little star has packed the house to standing room

The provin- cials, as we are pleased to call them, demand a play as large. as clever. as sparkling and as capably played as the New York audience gets. The small town mind is growing With brutal rapidity, and as it grows the old standards of musical comedy cease to please. If we are going to keep in the game we will have to give them something more stim- ulating to the imagination, more artistic, with more originality and a simpler yet larger horizon. Such is exactly the case of Charles Dill lingham's only company appearing on the road this season in that everlasting and delightful produc- ton of 'Chin-Chin with Wills and Binder in the lead.

HOW AUBURN ALUMNI
FEEL ABOUT BRAGG
1. That practically all of the old

soIidly behind Tom Bragg and will
urge his retention
T. That practically all Of the
young mfumnt--men under 80 years
of age--are emphaticaliy opposed
to his management.
This peculiar division of opinion
among Tiger supporters was ex-
planned to me-by a close student OF
Auburn affairs, who stated that up
to 1911 or 1919 Bragg mingled very
freely with the collegians and by
reason of his strong personality
and undoubted athletic integrity
had endeared himself to each sue

Speculation among local alumni
as to the possible grievances held
by the student body against Bragg
brought out several theories. Some
declared that the split resulted
from Bragg's position in regard to
hazing, others cited his opposition
to a game between Auburn and
Alabama, while still others were of
the opinion that the action of tho
student body was inspired by the
football team and Capt. Pete Bon
