ADJUSTMENTS
"On Trial"

The novel arrangement of the story coupled with it's unique staging has made "On Trial" to be produced at the Jefferson theatre for two nights and special matinee on Saturday commencing Friday, February II, the most talked about play that has been produced. in America for many years.
 ''On TriaP' is Conan 6 Harris production and under their personal di- rection. The appeal of this play is found in in it's realistic visualization of a story from real life that com- pines the tense interest that attaches to the fight for acquittal by an &C., cused murderer and the battle of wits by the district attorney and the law yer for the defense, the whole form ing an altogether powerful and in- tensely dramatic exposition.
 Seats for the entire engagement now on sale at the theatre box office. The curtain will rise precisely at 8 o'clock Saturday evening.

Seeks County Funds

Columbus, Miss, February 9.-(Spe- cial. .)-The state bank of Artesia, a town of about 1000 inhabitants, situated IA miles west of Columbus, is strenu- ously endeavoring to secure recogni- tion as the official depository of Lowndes county. The board of super visors sometime ago advertised for bids for handling the county funds, and the Artesia institution was the only bidder, having offered to pay per cent on daily balances. Should this bank be made the official depository Columbians receiving checks from the county treasurer would necessarily eX- perience some inconvenience in getting them cashed, so the supervisors decided to defer definite action in the matter until their March meeting

Night Foreman at Big Pipe Plant Fell Off Until AL most a Living

q don't know how many of my friends have stopped me and asked what have been doing to make myself look so much improved" said J. J.

Mr. Buford resides at 2409 Thirty avenue.
 ''I feel like I ought to tell the people through the papers what this wonderful Tanlac has done for me-" he continued because for seven or eight years I hard ly ever saw a we'll day, but this Tanlac has given me something money cannot buy-health. Why, sir, last Sunday my boy here took a 15-mile hike with me and when we got back home I wasn't the least bit tired. tell you feel better in every way.
 For many years suffered so much from my stomach and bad digestion I al- most became an invalid. I fell off until was almost living skeleton, and got SD weak and no account l wasn't in any shape for work. I felt just about half alive all the time, had no appetite, no energy and most everything I tried to eat nauseated me, and I got no relief until vomiting set in. I was so dizzy at times l almost became blind These spells be- came so frequent I finally had to give up night work, for I just simply couldn't see what I was doing.

My nerves were simply shot to pieces.

 E. R. Stettinius-who on January 1 be- came the junior partner of J. P. Morgan & Co.,, has gained envable reputation not so much as great salesman a great buyer To be great buyer is per haps more difficult than to gain success as a salesman. He is the man who has expended hundreds of millions on ac- count of Great Britain and France for the purchase of commodities in the United States, and has so mastered his effort that not yet has there been a single complaint either from sellers or buyers. It is unique reputation that MT. Stet- tnius has gained. No other man either in the United States or anywhere else in the world has ever been identified as MT. Stettinius has with purchases for na- tional accounts of commodities, the amount of which is, relatively speaking equal to their magnitude and variety. It IS presumed that MT. Stettinius will speedily follow his chief, Mr. Morgan to Europe, and it is inconceivable that four men-E. R. Stettinius Benjamin Strong, Jr., and A. M Anderson-should now be visiting Europe merely for pleas ure or vacation. Some transactions of magnlture are undoubtedly in contempla- ton.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Appreciate Aid of Press

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 Analysis of the influences which com hlned to make of the exposition such an unqualified success has still further con- vinced us that one of the great, vital contributions has been the loyal, pa triotic and most effective support of the press.
 Frankly we admit that in common with the thousands of our visitors, we close to the exposition and responsible for it, have marveled at it's symmetrical suc- cess-a success despite adverse world conditions, unsettled national conditions an almost overwhelming conjunction of difficulties and handicaps which mili- tated against such result
 All Americans should feel gratified that more foreign governments partici- rated in this than in any previous Ameri- can exposition. Accepting the invitation extended by the government and re- specting American integrity and enter prise. they joined us in the effort to make Of the exposition an international success. American states contributed public funds with the hope that through their participation, American institutions mlght be better understood. Exhibitors spent vast sums in their efforts to show the visitor a decades advance in every field of human endeavor. All these. ma tions, states. individuals were partners in an undertaking which sought ade- quately to celebrate world achievement the completion of the Panama canal.
 l feel that I here express the gratitude Of all these and of all our visitors who through the exposition, gained a better understanding of life's finer things and of true international fraternity. You aided in all this by the assistance rem dered through The Age-Herald. No word of ours can add to the satisfaction VOL must feel in having given such service in world work, but desiring to recog- nize the great forces that made the ex- positions success, we want to send you at this time our earnest and grateful acknowledgment. Very truly yours,
 CHARLES c. MOORE, President.

Would Settle With Government

Decatur, February 9.-(Special.) Mrs. w. s. Edmundson. one of the largest landowners in this county, says that she and other large landowners will be willing to settle amicably with the United States government for lands overflowed by the government building big dams at Muscle Shoals. The maps of the survey were received here only yesterday.
 Reports had come to north Alabama from Washington to the >effect that the Muscle Shoals improvement might be delayed on account of the govern ment not being able to settle with the landowners whose lands would be overflowed by the building of the dams From all that can be learned here 1t appears that there will be no trouble along this line, as all of the land- owners seem disposed to do the right thing.

HENRY EAST HELD
 AT MICHIGAN CITY

Montgomery. February s-(special.) ) Governor Henderson today issued reuui- sition papers on the governor of In diana for Henry East, a white convict who escaped from Sanford about two years ago. East has just completed a prison sentence in the Indiana peniten- tiary at Michigan City and is being held for the Alabama authorities.
 East's criminal record in Alabama has been both sensational and spectacular In 1912 he was sent up from Lauderdale county to serve IS years for grand lar ceny. He escaped from moving pas senger train while being taken to the prison at Speigners He was recaptured and escaped the second time from a train. Again he was recaptured and sent to work out his sentence at Sanford from which place he escaped two years ago.
 R. Lee Johnson, warden at Nsc.u.llpka. will bring East back to Alabama, that official having left for Indiana today with the requisition papers.
