He was as cheerful and talked
as freely as had been usual dur

little room covered a wide range
but did not dwell long on any one
subject. The reporter and the

said his age was 10, that his birth
day was on March 81. that he was
born at Ashley, n. D. He admit

LOCAL GOLFERS IN
FLAG TOURNAMENT

For something a little different
the Golf club will stage a flag
tournament for local players visit
ors not barred next Sunday. All
members who can are expected to
enter the competition, and at the
time of signing up each will give
in his flag number, represented by
the average number of strokes he
takes in playing Is holes.
At the tournament he will play
this number of strokes, making
each hole as he goes around. and
set a flag with his name on it at
the spot where his ball stops with
his last stroke.
For instance, if a player says
90 strokes for 10 holes is a fair
average for him and verifes that
number by score cards, 80 becomes
his flag number and he or she
makes as much distance as posi-
BILE in 80 strokes. If he can get
beyond the 18th hole, well and
good. If he falls short, there he
is and his flag is set. The player,
abiding by the ground rules and
making each hole as he goes, who
can set his flag at the greatest
distance is the winner. Second
distance is runner up, etc.
Players will make up twosomes
or foursomes and play twice
around. President Chapman says
one round may be played in the
forenoon and one in the afternoon,
or both in the same half day. Make
your entries at the Huxsol Drug
store and receive instructions
governing the tourney.

LOW RATES
tor time payments
on these cars

ANY FAMILY entitled to credit may buy a
~ General Motors car and pay for it while
Il n using it, under the GMAC Plan.
When time payments first became an accepted
form of car purchase, General Motors organized its
own finance company, the General Motors Accep-
lance Corporation, to make sure that the sale OF ITS
cars on time would be in the buyers interest and
that the finance charges would be fair.
GMAC rates have always been low; and the last
reduction has saved General Motors customers
more than $12, 900, 900.
The General Motors line includes "a car for every
purse and purpose"-a suitable model for every in
come. You can buy it out of income, paying no more
than the cash delivered price, plus only the low
GMAC financing charge. And the whole transac-
ton is so conducted as to keep your goodwill and
satisfaction.

Interested in Shoals

Birmingham IS naturally interested
in the development Of Muscle Shoals,
but without marked preferences or
prejudices. If anything, Ford Is
favored because of the prevailing be.
lief in his capacity to get things
done.
What Birmingham wants more
than anything else, however, is for
somebody to take over the project
and put It to work There is no
evidence Of such antagonism toward
the Alabama Power Company as out
siders have been led to suppose.
1t is freely admitted that the com
pany operates as part Of a gigantic
combine which is rapidly gaining a
monopolistic control Of power in the
Southeast, but locally there appears
little alarm over the idea OF letting
it gain still more.
Personally believe that the public
has no power sites to give away. I
think the infatuation over power de-
velopment, regardless of how or by
whom, is creating an indifference to
public interest and its protection
which will cause a lot of trouble
some day.

ducing steel in all its various forms.
Iron ore comes from the southern

There are coal mines, iron mines

A COINCIDENCE AND A REASON
BY N. ID. Cochran

Senator Beveridge of Indiana recently made
a speech in New York defending the direct primary.
The New York Sun, commenting his speech, said:
Yet we should like to have Mr.. Beveridge let his
memory slip back to 1892 before the direct primary be-
to influence the personnel Of the United States
Senate 1t his first term in the Senate, and he

with responsibility for such startling degeneracy as
we find in Ohio. for example when We descend from
John Sherman, Allen G. Thurman Joseph B. Foraker
and Mark Hanna to Simeon Tess and Frank Willis
Similar degeneracy from outstanding ability to almost
imbecile mediocrity may be found States It
Is startling and shocking, both in the South
But the change from nomination by State conven-
ton to direct primary had little nothing to do
with It, 1t is Just as easy to nominate big men by
direct vote of the people it is by boss-controled
conventions.

proh1oitionsts were huddled together in a separate

to bother anybody.
Both old parties could nominate their strongest
