The grand spectacular play, the
"Story of the Reformation," to be
produced at the Becker Theater Mon-
day and Tuesday evenings, Feb. 27,
28, under the auspices of the Ladles'
Aid Society of the Christian Church,
presents a true picture of the times,
together with a happy combination
of music and good dramatic work,
handsome and historically correct
costumes and characters of a well-
known ear that has passed into his-
tory.
The evening opens with a church
processional representing theology
entering the union. The march is
"THE YEAR OF READJUSTMENT." "STORY OF THE REFORMATION"
TO BE PRODUCED AT BECKER.
The year juat closed witnessed
many extraordinary developments In
finance, trade and politics. Every-
where the twelve month period was
one of readjustment, with more or
less acute tension in the money mar-
kets. In the United States much of
the liquidation that was expected to
immediately follow the panic of 1907,
took place last year. In other words,
the readjustment which always fol-
lows a period of financial disturb-
ance, Instead of coming in the year
after the panic, was delayed three
years, until 1910. Now that the coun-
try has had the readjustment the
whole investment and trade situa-
tion has been benefited.
During much of the year bank
loans in tho United States stood at
record figures. As soon as the na-
tional bank returns for March 29 last
disclosed the huge loan account that
the banks were laboring with, there
was a consistent movement started to
reduce the loan Item and to curtail
accommodations to speculators In
laud, stocks and commodities. This
has been largely successful, although
tho beneficial effects of the movement
toward a reduction of such liabilities
will be better illustrated by the
changes shown in the future returns
of the national b^nks than in those
re ently published This is because
of the natural difficulty or reducing
loans In the period when enormous (
crops of corn, cotton, wheat and
other staples are being marketed. A1

My hair was as white as snow when I commenced using
