Fine Record or Building
 and Loan associations

07 7HEREVER there is building wv and loan association activity there is a reflex in acquisition of homes. The community with the most capital invested in building and loan associations is the community which will come nearest in acquiring homes under any and all circum- stances.
 The record of the S4 building and loan associations in the city of New Orleans is a characteristic one. In the period from June 15, 1919, to December S1, 1920, IS months, they loaned s25, ,204.OOo for the acquisi- tion of homes, small proportion of the loans going into business house improvements. A total of 6,424 loans were made. These were helped to become home owners of the city of New Orleans.
 The record of the building and loan association has been a strictly Amer lean one. It has always stood for homes. It has avoided speculation. Its slogan has been safety of invest ment. First mortgages at 50 per cent of the value of the property is ; the base of it's credit extensions. There is nothing safer.
 Alabama is an especially inviting field for the building and loan asso- ciation. IL is, therefore, gratifying to hear of steps being taken in 9 number of Alabama cities for their 3ormation. Strictly local in charac- ter, based on the values of the prop 6rty around and about them and ex- Eeising their functions from purely

Southern Service for
 People of the South

" eastern Express company is recognition of the importance of the south and the southeast by the Southern railway and it's auxiliary lines. It is capable of great service for the. section to be served, which includes the lines of the Southern and Mobile and Ohio systems, the South Atlantic ports and the principal gulf ports, including the port of Mobile. The Southern officials declare that they were led to making contracts with the new organization because hey saw in it an opportunity for special service to the southern peo- pie. That is a pleasing horoscope, and all that is needed for it's reali- zation is tnat it be lived up to. There is every reason to believe that this will be done. Time has proven to the satisfaction of all concerned that service is the one reliable password to public approval and public con- fidence.
 It is necessary to have peculiarly southern factors engaged in promo 1 ton of the south's good. This sec ton has interests so distinctive that only those resident in the south or making special effort to serve the south through knowledge of its wants and resources are capable of render | ing the right service to the south or having the right viewpoint.
 The entire transportation system south of the Ohio river is subject to different classification from that of other sections. An express serv- ice especially created to serve this section is not out of place.

RICHMOND THEATRE

This weeks feature attraction at
the Richmond Theatre is "The Truth
About Husbands" adapted from Sir
Arthur Wing Pinero's brilliant stage
play, "Tbe Pr5fligate." It IS Whit
man Bennett production released
through First National and has an
exceptionally well balanced cast head
ed by May McAyoy.
1t deals in a startingly interesting
way with the age cid problem of
how a man oafore marriage cannot
have his fling without the danger
of his escapades confronting him
after marriage. The denoIement OF
the play is perhaps as thrilling
climax as ever screened in society
drama. H E. Herbert plays Durstam
Renshaw, wealthy bachelor, who
is supposedly typical of his class.
He is not vicious, merely worldly.
