And call him Soul" Some seem inclined

Experience of Evelyn Nesbit in Spe-
 cial Picture, "Her Mistake

There is no woman whose activities on stage and screen have earned her more sincere praise or given her greater pop ularity than Evelyn Nesbit. As result the announcement of the presentation at Loew's Bijou theatre today and tomor- row of Her Mistake" with her son Rus sell playing with her. her latest and un- questionably greatest success has been warmly welcomed by all local film pa irons. Miss Nesbits commanding beau ty and her unusual acting ability, both are displayed to their greatest possible advantage in this new picture
 Her Mistake was created especially for portrayal by Miss Nesbit. 1t is an unusual story which not only gives her great opportunity for the display of her hstrionic versatility and emotional acting power, but provides a legitimate reason for the disclosure of a wardrobe of won werful gowns. Early in the play she is seen as a simple, unsophisticated country maiden whose familiar costume is a ging- ham apron. Later as the wife of a wealthy young city man she wears some marvellous modiste's creations

OFFICERS ELECTED
 AT ANNUAL MEETING TRADERS NATIONAL
H. H. Montgomery of Jack sOnville Added to Force of Assistant Cashiers.
 Frye President

The Traders National Bank yesterday
 at the annual meeting reelected the old
 board of directors, with the exception Of Judge John H. Miller recently de- ceased. The directors thereupon met and
 reelected the officers. adding H. IL.
 Montgomery of Jacksonville. Ala, to the
 force of assistant cashiers.
 The directors are: Frank Nelson, Jr., president of the Bryan Coal company: c, S. Bissell, president of the Black Diamond Coal Mining company; Sibley P King president King Lumber com pany; Richard W, Massey, capitalist; E.
 R. McDavid. president Great Southern
 Life Insurance company; Sterling J. Eos ter, manager Great Southern Life Insur- ance company: A. Leo Oberdorfer, attor-
 ney at law: William P. Redd, manager Grasselli Chemical company. and John H. Frye.
 John H. Frye was elected president J, l.. Cooper, cashier John G. Farley, John l.. Cox and H. H. Montgomery, assistant cashiers. MT. Montgomery is officials haying been reelected. MT. Montgomery is now cashier of the First National bank of Jacksonville, Ala, and for several years has been the manag ing officer of that institution. He IS regarded as a very capable banker and is very popular in his home town, hav- ing just completed term as mayor of Jacksonville.
 Mir. Farley who was reelected assist ant cashier has been in the army for more than a year and had expected to L1 kA..- the annual election, but met with some delay in securing his papers.
 MT. Montgomery was added to the off, ficial family of the bank with the view to a more aggressive campaign for in- creased business and to provide larger facilities for the patrons of the institu- ton, and to make it more useful to the community.
 Deposits of the Traders bank are now in excess of s2,5 900, they having in- creased to the extent of sS00,000 in the 21 months since this country entered the war, the increase in the banks local patronage being the largest that has ever occurred in a like period of time. In view of the large demands on the com munity for the purchase of Liberty Bonds and for contributions to war causes, such an increase in bank deposits is deemed a very favorable indication. The board of directors adopted the following resolutions in respect to the death of Judge John H. Miller, who had {, been member of the board from the organization of the bank up to the time l ot his death three or four weeks ago. with sorrow too profound to be ade- quately expressed, the board of direc- 1 tors record the loss to the bank and to
