COMING ATTRACTIONS

'The Beauty Shop which will be the attraction at the Jefferson thea- tre soon, is musical comedy from the triumirate of pens that built those two other big musical successes, "The Red Widow" and My Best Girl which were wielded by Charming Pollock, Rennold Wolf and Charles J. Gebest.
 The company presenting the piece numbers 60, many of whom are well known in the musical and vaudeville world, while in the merry merry, many of Broadway's familiar faces will be seen.
 There are 20 song hits in the score and the production and costuming Is said to be of the finest.
 In that most gorgeous and majestic production, "The Garden of Allah, which comes to the Jefferson shortly the weird and beautiful stage effects are nothing short of marvellous and their effectiveness Is proven by the enthusiasm and applause accorded it everywhere.

effect of merging Sheffield and Tuscurn- bia by wiping out town lines, since the big plants are to be situated in West Sheffield and the western part of Tus- cumbia It has been suggested that the name Nitrate City, would be appro- priate in the event the two towns should come together under one name. That the two cities united under the name of Nitrate City would forge to the front more to the advantage of the entire com munity is not doubted.
 There has always existed a close affiii- ation and intermixing of the peoples of both Sheffield and Tuscumbia and there is now every indication that the two towns will become as one, since great government industries and manufactur- ing plants are assured for this locality.
 COLONEL JONES LEAVES
 Col. J. w. Joyes, one of the representa- tives of the war department. who has been in Sheffield for several days ir connection with the final examination oi the local nitrate plant site, returned tc Washington last night, having com pleted his labors here for the time be- ing. Tomorrow Major Runcey of The judge advocate generals office will ar rive here from Washington to investi- gate all legal matters pertaining to tlie governments acceptance of the lands that have been selected for the nitrate plants. A number of other government engineers and experts will reach here during next week to participate in tho work at hand.
 The matter of securing the requisite acreage of land for the government
 plants has been brought to close. Be tween 800 and 600 acres have been ob tained at an unusually low valuation, tht several owners demonstrating to the full est spirit of cooperation, in most every | instance permitting the government rep. resentatives to name the price to bt | paid. Naturally there was no hitch ol delay in bringing the matter to speed, close. On the lands procured there art l approximately 145 dwellings, and other
 buildings, all of which was valued at 9 sum of less than $l0O,v00, which. repre-
 sents about half the normal value of sht properties. It was fine business strategy
 on the part of the people of this com munty to make sure that the govern ment industries be located here.

PARALLEL ORDERS

Paraleling these orders. instructions have been sent to the divisional conl- manders of the national army to fur nish the men as required and also to make the following transfers between the national army cantonments.
 Camp Gordon to transfer all remaining white men to Camp Jackson and receive in return 5000 white men from Camp D Evans, TOGO from Camp Upton, 70O0 from Camp Dix, 5000 from Camp Mead and 3OO0 from Camp Lee.
 Orders to Camp Lee direct that the transfer to Camp Gordon be composed of Pennsylvanians. This is the only case where transfers to other national army divisions are specified by state quotas as is done with all transfers to national guard divisions.

tion and breathless interest of the au-
 dience Is riveted to the stage.
 Tim Murphy, the well known com
 edian, who is coming to the Jefferson
 next month in a new comedy, Pals
 First" brings a message of good cheer
 to all his admirers. He is to present for
 the first time in a splendid new cont
 edy in three acts entitled Pals First.'
 The play is a matization by Lee
 Wilson Dodd of the novel of the same
 name by Francis Elliott and tells an
 intensely interesting story, and 1t would be difficult to parallel the sup porting company that MT. Murphy has been surrounded with. consequently Pals First ought to prove power full magnet to all lovers of the good things in the dramatic line.
 The last scene of Klaw & Erlanger's stupendous Ben Hur' is considered the most impressive spectacle ever presented on the stage. Here is re vealed the Mount of Olivet, where a great multitude gather to greet the l Nazarene and where the Savior per- | forms the miracle of cleansing the | lepers. Christ's personality is never represented in the flesh, but His pres l ence is indicated by a ray of white l light of marvellous brilliancy, which is l reflected from the Halo over His head. To present this great spectacle over
 250 people are required.

EFFECT OF HOLIDAY

The department pointed out that since the latest compilation of official figures last night Ia holiday and half holiday have intervened, so it is doubt ful if the total official returns have been increased greatly.
 With allowances for incomplete re- turns, however, the statement con- tinues, "and taking into consideration the statements of the most optimistic chairmen on transactions thus far, the bond sale is not attaining anywhere near the momentum that it must if the sale is to be success.
 Despite the short sales there is still firm ground for hope that the max mum quota will be attained. The spirit of the local committees is highly en-
 couraging. In the face of somewhat disconcerting reports they have taken
 splendid new grip on the situation BALTIMORE EXAMPLE As striking example, of what a great number of small subscribers can accomplish, a mass meeting at Balti-
