LACK OF INTEREST
 MAY DEFEAT BONDS
Local Automobile Dealers to Attend Montgomery
 Good Roads Meeting d

Birmingham will send a delegation to the meeting in Montgomery Monday of the Alabama Automobile Dealers Asso- citation.
 The men from the Magic City have chartered a special car and will go to Montgomery Sunday, leaving the L. & N. station at o'clock Sunday afternoon and returning Monday night or Tuesday morning.
 Automobile dealers from over all of Alabama will be present, for the purpose of the meeting is to accelerate interest in the good roads bond election to be held within the next few weeks.
 w. B. Smith, one of the dealers who will make the trip to the meeting in the capital, speaking of the bond election for good roads yesterday, said;
 "One of the main things all of us must guard against is going to sleep on the job. believing that the proverbial other fellow will go to the trouble of voting. It's up to every man who has the inter- est of the state and it's development at heart to get out and do his own voting.
 ''As far as 1 can see from wha I have heard of sentiment about the bond cleo tion, the only thing that can defeat it is lack of interest in voting on the part of the men who want to see 1t go through.
 Prom every quarter of the state the information comes chat the people favor the issuance of the bonds for good roads, but, for all of that, it is going to take a number of votes to put it over, and we cannot emphasize too forcefully the need for everybody not only desiring and be- ing willing to vote, but to get out now, assure their correct registration, pay their poll tax and get set to vote when the time comes.
 There is little need to remind anyone that tie automobile owners will pay for the bonds. It won't cost anyone else a penny. The car owners and the govern ment between them will put up the money for the roads.
 "One of the main objects of the Mont gomery meeting Monday Is to get before the people not so much good roads in- formation, for they are all aware by this time of what good roads stand for, but to get everyone interested in being thoroughly prepared to vote and to cast a vote personally on the day of the cleo tion.''

"Lost Opera" VIII
BE Staged TO Get
A. L. Fund for CLUB

"The Lost Opera" musical
drama in three acts, will be pre-
scented at the Sugg theatre Friday
afternoon and evening under the
auspices of the Chickasha post Of
the American Legion. Funds de-
rived from the show will be added
to the posts club-room fund.
In addition to the musical drama,
the regular movie program viii be
offered.
"The Lost Opera" is drama writ
ten expressly for the presenting
cast, to carry the message OF a great
moral and to display the power of
music. An old musician, Professor
Denning, when a young student at
Leipsic composed an opera which
was inspired by, dedicated to and
named for his sweetheart Louise.
Because OF the rendition of an aria
from the opera, Louise becomes ac-
quainted with wealthy New Yorker,
who is visiting in Germany She
marries him for his money, steals
Professor Denning's opera and goes
to America.
Professor Denning lives to be a
blissfu old bachelor. AT the outbreak
of the war in Germany, he is com
PEELED to leave in order to preserve
his life, because he opposed German
militarism. Thinking to obscure his
identity, he becomes affiliated with
the Orpheum College of Music in a
small Western city. Here, he meets
young lady who "can whistle"
student violinist and an elderly lady
who calls herself the housekeeper,
but who is in reality the dean of
the school While here, he sinks
deep his philosophy of how to be "a
good loser;" he displays the musical
talent Of his companions and the
soul power 1t carries.
Mrs. Baldwin tells her life story to
Helen, reveals the fact that she is
the real Louise and that her married
life with the wealthy man was un-
happy and ended in disaster Her
mothers story helps Helen to decide
in favor Of the poor musician, whose
simple love and true devotion wins
her against wealthy man whose
money is attractive but whose char
acter is decidedly ego.
Tom Morton, poor musician, with
a whole soul and big heart, makes
good in various ways; is "a good
loser when necessary and "a real
sport" when he should be. This wins

Summing up the position Of the
operators, Ralph Crews, attorney
