WILL HAVE OFFICE
 IN THE CITY HALL
Weathersbee Ready to Help Citizens With Garden and
 Lawn Problems

G. O. Weathersbee, the new superin- ten6ent of school and home gardening, will probably be given offices for the summer in the city aall on the second floor in the same room with z. Nespor, superintendent of reersation. Mir. Weath- ersbee for the next few months will devote his time to aiding city commits sioners in the city beautiful movement.
 Mir Weathersbee Is young, unas- suming, pleasant man. He las ideas. He has had considerable experience in hor- ticultural and agricultural work, but he has never before had position with a city such as he nov has in Birrning- ham, and he therefore has not mapped cut his work in detail.
 ''I hope to help everybody that wants any help he said yesterday. T dc not mean to confine my work to the schools, although that will be a big part Of it. Any citizen who has some prob lem about his home in his flower gar dens or vegetable garden or his shade
 trees or his lawn grass or similar mat
 ters who comes to me l will not only give him advice. but In all cases where I possibly can I will go to the place and inspect the case myself
 "I have already inspected several to-
 mato patches in the city where the vines were drying up and the green fruit was rotting. I think it is caused by a kind oi
 blight and I gave the persons formula for mixture which I think will stop it When schools begin I plan to secure | vacant lots in different parts of the city and have the schoolboys who are will | ling to work and are interested cultivate
 them under my supervision. All that the boys raise they can have. In some cit
 ies of the north, Minneapolis in particu
 lar, the school children last year mad, ] thousands of dollars in this way w, | can do the same thing here if we ge
 started and get enthusiasm worked up.'

SUNDAY GOLF|NG
 WILL BE STOPPED
Montgomery Sheriff Will Put Ban on Golfers
 Next

Montgomery, July 6-( eeial. ) Sheriff Horace Hood of Montgomery county is determined to assist in the
 Sunday observance crusade and today made a statement to the effect that in the future he will not permit golf playing on the Sabbath day. Sheriff Hoods ultimatum was declared within 36 hours after the fourth annual invi- tation golf tournament of the Mont gomery Country club had ended and before many of the visiting golfers had left the city
 The Montgomery county sheriff said that in order to stop Sunday games he would have to start at the top and come downward. "We want to get the high ones first" he declared and we are determined to stop golf at the Country club" Sheriff Hood animated that he had received numerous com plaints about the playing of golf on Sundays
 The Sunday observance crusade was brought on by a committee of church people who held a meeting recently and declared that they would use their efforts toward the prevention of all Sunday games On yesterday deputies of Sheriff Hood stopped an amateur baseball game.
 Members of the Montgomery Country club have played golf on Sundays since the club was organized. A large num- Der of the most prominent people of the city play and few of them are averse to playing on the Sabbath day.

Local Data
Weather Conditions

Birmingham, July 6.-(Special.) ) Fair weather prevailed over the great CT portion of the southern and lower Mississippi valley states, but thunder showers were frequent in Iowa, Mis- souri and Kansas and they occurred locally In some other districts, partic- ularly the east gulf coast, western and southern Florida.
 A heavy rain, 216 inches, was re- moderate at all other places from which reports were received. It seems prob able that the thundershowers prevail ing in the middle west will move across the Ohio valley and portions of the lever lakes. The rains will hardly ex- tend as far south as Alabama, where the relatively high pressure will con tinue to act as a check on the south eastward movement of the depression or storm center overlylng the upper Mississippi valley.
 Hot weather prevails in the lower ton states A reading of 100 was report ed at Oklahoma City and 96 at Shreve- port. Readings were moderate over the southeast, including Alabama, and are likely to continue moderate in this state Tuesday. In the Birmingham dis trict today was only slightly warmer than the normal for the season.
 Summary of observations made at United States weather bureau stations during the 24 hours ending 8 D. m.. 18th meridian time:

 LOCAL EXPOSITION
Manufacturers Will Attend Luncheon to Be Given by the Ad Club
 Today

The committee on location and plans for the made in Birmingham exposi- tion to be held here in the fall, will report today at o'clock at the weekly luncheon of the Birmingham Ad club.
 This report it is said, will be of direct interest to the manufacturers of Birming- ham. and 1t is the intention of the manu- lecturers to attend. The people who make the products will be most inter- ested in the exposition because the entire show will be centered around their work As are all other luncheons of the club, the one of today will be along the most improved lines of the ancient Dutch cus- tom.
 The exposition will be real exposition this year. its promoters state. It will be held ih a special structure to be prepared in East End park. The committee on location and plans has been at work for sometime and 1t is understood that its report will be of double interest today.

A. P. Foster of Nashville Tells of It's Benefits From
 a Material Standpoint

A. P. Foster, secretary of the in- dustrial bureau of Nashville, while a visitor to Birmingham yesterday. urged the citizens of Birmingham who are imbued with good intentions for the betterment of their city, to join the committees which are working to se- cure fer Birmingham the location of the new Methodist college.
 Birmingham newspaper writer's" he said, have visited Nashville and re- turned with stories of concrete fact representative of the material good which our colleges have accomplished for Nashville.
 Business men, from whom must come the money for the inducement of the locating committee, are best ap- pealed to when you talk of material things. In that connection we have in Nashville each year 12,000 nonresident students and these students spend in Nashville each year s6000,0 900, or $500 each
 Tt is in the 1uxuries which stu dents invest and the profit on articles of this nature, range from 10 to 100 per cent. We estimate that of the &C., c00,000 spent annually in Nashville by nonresident students the sum of s2,- ooo,ooo is left in profits-and profits compose the sum which Is fixed Nashville sum-

JENNINGS WILL NOT WIN IN OKLAHOMA Visitor Says Former Ala bama Man, J. l.. Williams,
 Will Be Governor

According to w. l.. Nelson of Oklahoma City, who, was visitor to Birmingham yesterday, Al Jennings stands very little chance to acquire the nomination for governor Oklahoma.
 MT. Jennings, as is known, Is running as reformed" candidate as well as a "reformer." At one time, he was a noted bandit
 Despite the fact" said Mir. Nelson, that the picturesque Al has given up his revolver, and is now model citizen, despite the fact that he has conducted a spirited campaign in which he has, ap- pealed with all the clements which enter into oratory, he will hardly win
 An Alabamian, or former Alabamian, as the case is, will upset the well laid schemes of MT. Jennings. J. l.. Williams is the man. He is member of the su- preme court of our state. and man on whom all factors desiring good govern ment can unite."

ADJUSTMENTS
At the Lyric

Truly "a cure for the blues is the bill
 this week at the Lyric and those who
 enjoy a hearty laugh should not fail to
 see the really splendid bill. The major
 ity of the acts are built on comedy lines.
 two of them are screams. The other acts
 are of the highest merit
 Nat Wills the acknowledged premier
 in a tramp character, is as happy as ever,
 and introduced a bunch of new jokes
 end parodies that kept the audience in an
 upI oar. While some of the jokes were
 rather hoary still when told with Nat Wills inimitable man1erisms they were as pleasing as when first told. Nat made a big hit.
 Derrick and Hart and company in "Eloping," present one of the funniest acts seen on the vaudeville stage this sea son. They are two of the cleverest people under the Laskey management, which has presented number of splen- did acts at the Lyric this season. This one is of different nature and is ex- ceedingly well staged. It caught on from the start and finished with a scream. It is one of the best on the bill. The iewsboy sextet with little Miss Nita Johnson presented snappy and
 thoroughly enjoyable juvenile act intro- ouc:ng a number of apecialties. The boys sang their several numDerS well, tHe specialties by little Brownie and the dainty little prima 1oana were exception ally fine. They received several well de- served encores.
 | The dancing of the forget -me-nots,' l billed as "footologists," was sprightly enough to please anyone. They intro- duced a number of ballet dances that were very clever and we'll executed, and | proved a diversion from the so-called . society" canoes.
 | The opening numbef by Lieutenant | Randall proved a beautiful novelty, and vas given a cordial reception by the audience. It was so new and so original I that 1t brought nothing but the highes praise. Lieutenant Randalrs illustrated | lecture on the Mexican situation was | very interesting.
 | Jarvis and Harris in "The Fellow, the | Girl and the Bench," were very accept | able. Jarvis is a clever comedian, and | made the most of his opportunities 1 The closing act, the Wilmot brothers | comedy bar acrobats. was fair C. Fl. M.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
West End Garbage Dump the Editor of The Age-Herald:


 Speaking of the West End dump, of which the writer has read a good deal, and smelled some when the wind changes, will say that our broad-minded West Binders should not allow an affliction of this kind to overshadow the great bless ings that our city fathers, past and pres ent, have bestowed upon them. I might use in this connection several old maxims, such as "Give the Devil his dues," Every cloud has silver lining,'' etc, etc., but will restrain my pen and come to the core of the matter. which is the beau tiful resting grounds of this part of our city. which may be seen at Elmwood and Elyton. The former, I understand, is a child of private enterprise, and a credit to any city. The latter is being made more beautiful and inviting every day with the aid of city funds. Look for your blessings, West Enders, and you will find them. Give the Devil his dues" for a place has been prepared for you. Our great city has paid you a. post mortem compliment, and credit should be given for this considerate foresight. Did I say foresight? We'll, well, that wind has changed again. Yours truly,

Oil Treatment for
 Stomach Troubles
