Mrs. Myra Fossle Taylor, the daughter of the Late Mr. and Mrs. Mathew Feard, was born in Tennessee, and came to this city several years ago where she spent the greater portion of her life. She professed a hope in Christ and united with the St. Paul A. M. E. church, where she lived a devout Christian until death, being a S. S. teacher and a member of the Ladies Aid, of the above named church when death came. Her death was a shock to Metropolis, as she was only sick a few hours, taking suddenly on the porch. A physcian was called, but in a short time she passed into the other world. The funera was attended Wednesday from the church, the pastor officiated assisted by Rev. M. S. McCauley. She leaver two sons, Lester and John, industrious young men who went at the country's cell and fought for "democracy." Three brothers, two sisters, one grand-daughter, two grand sons, and a host of relatives and friends to mourn her demise.

The end of the year is now in sight and all arrangements are being made for closing the work of the schools.

The music work is being done by Mrs. Burke and we are expecting great things from the children. The commencement address will be delivered by Prof. Albert R. Lee, of the University of Illinois, and the baccalaureate address will be delivered by Rev. Moody of the Baptist church. The sermon to the class will be given on Sunday May 25, and the graduating exercises will be held on Friday Evening May 30th. The Superintendent of schools is hiving a very difficult time securing a principal for the high shool. He could get some men easily but wants a good one when he employs one. Some men could be had for next year but few wish to come to finish this term. He hopes to have one soon. The Superintendent is wishing hard to place Dunbar high on the approved list has just had a letter from the inspector that is very encouraging. This is a thing much desired for Dunbar High as it needs to have separate recognition by the State Department Gone to Rest.

To the Pastors, Members, and Friends, who read the Gazette and who are members of the General Baptist Association of the State of Illinois. By order of Rev. J. F. Thomas, D. D., our Moderator, your attention is again called to the setting of the Association on Tuesday before the Fourth Lord's Day in May, at Springfield, Ill. You are hereby requested to put forth your best efforts to make this the most successful session that we have ever had. Kindly speak to the churches and friends of the Association who do not read the Gazette. Rev H. Snowden and his good members are looking forward to the time and are arranging to give us the most royal entertainment that any other church has. Dr. Snowden, gallant leader and preacher, knows how to do things, and his members are true followers. They request that all who anticipate attending the association in May will kindly send in their names. Kindly do this and you will accommodate them very much. Dr. Thomas, left Tuesday Mar. 18th, for Springs in Missouri, to take a few days rest and will be delighted to know that we are pressing on for the success of the Association.

The General Missionary Baptist State Association will meet with the New Hope Baptist church, Dr. Henry W. Snowden, pastor. A great meeting is expected, and as that is true, the ministers' and messengers are to determine what the meeting will be. The Baptist Brotherhood thru-out the State is expected to join in this mighty work to push forward and extend the kingdom of the Master. Brethern of Southern Illinois as well as Northern, East and West are waking up, getting up, and moving up alond mission and educational lines. It must be borne in mind that in the organization of the association that all ministers are o contribute one dollar during the annual session. This important matter was overlooked last year until the close of the meeting. The Association has staged 3 important propositions viz: Missions, education, the Aged Ministers Home and their wives. The Baptist women of the State appears to be in the ascendency of the aged ministers home proposition. They are bringing things to pass too. The advantages this year to attend the Springfield meeting perhaps will be much better than they were last year in Chicago. The Brethern played their part well in the Chicago meeting last year. Brethern let us arise and be doing. It is the proud hope of the Moderator Dr. J. F. Thomas that the Baptist put in their appearance from the four quarters of the State. Let us have a spark from the Brethern every week until the ass'n. meets in Springfield. C. C. Phillips. THE CALL The fifth annual session of the General Missionary Baptist State Association and the Educational and Missionary Association, auxiliary will meeting in Springfield, Ill, with the New Hope Baptist Church, Eld. W. Henry Snowden Pastor, May 29-26, 1919. We request that every W. E. & M. Society and District convention within our jurisdiction send a representative to the association. Our hope for the future depends upon the efforts we put forth to make the world better. I advise you to renew your vision, and press forward for a successful meeting. We must raise $100.00 for our for our old Ministers' Home, and we pledged $100.00 to the support of our school in Nashville, Tenn., and $25.00 to our Foreign Mission Board. The cry for the age is "For ward." Our women are equal to any women any where, then let us go forward. Sisters, don't forget the Art and Needle work for our Bazaar. We are striving to forward in this work and we need the assistance of the entire membership to accomplish the task. Behold the harvest is ripe, will you labor in the vineyard? Why halt ye between two opinions? Remember the place and date. Maggie B. Taylor. Cor. Sec. Dr. Phillips Writes The Cor. See'y. calls attention to the fact that the meeting will convene Tuesday before the 4th Lord's day in May, with the church of which Rev. Snowden is pastor. The Asociation was organized in Mt. Vernon, 1914. The first meeting was held in Centralta, May 1915. It has been taking on strength every since; this is due to the fact that the organization was not born out of prejudice but from a pure motive. We may first that great confusion characterized the meetings from time to time by reason of certain brethren whose name we will not call. It was their alien ideas that caused the regular Baptist to organize. In the Aurora Convention a certain minister said that the doctrine of Baptism and the Lord's Supper had served its day and the people were looking for something more in keeping with the age. This brother and several others were declared unsound in the faith and METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE, METROPOLIS, ILL. ALLOWANCE TO CHILD IS ROAD TO ECONOMY "The best and most natural way of beginning true national economy, wise spending and wise saving," says Ruth Wardell, head of the home economics department of the University of Iowa, and who last summer started a home economics department in a Cleveland (Ohio) bank. "is by giving the children an allowance. The lesson of properly apportioning an income thus is early learned." Miss Wardell favors the allowance arrangement at a very early age, say at six or seven. It may then be very small, and out of it the budding citizen may be expected to provide only school pencils, tablets, etc. The purchase of school books provides a logical next step; a little later some personal belongings, such as shoes, may be added. "I say shoes," explains Miss Wardell, "because children seem to take more interest in shoes than in most articles of wearing apparel, and be Fixing the Allowance. cause shoes represent a highly important item to which children frequently pay little heed." The allowance should provide a little margin to encourage careful buying and saving possibilities. It should not necessitate so much care or thought as to burden the growing youngster. It should never, under normal circumstances, be "helped out" by irregular gifts or expected to cover other than the recognized items. The allowance, with its purchasing responsibilities, should be increased gradually, steadily. By the time high school is reached the boy or girl should be buying practically all his or her own clothes. Miss Wardell tells an interesting story of a boy who called upon her in Cleveland, telling her of his manner of apportioning the rather generous allowance made by his father. He knew to a penny what every article he wore had cost him; he was intelligent regarding relative textile and wearing values; he saved steadily, systematically, with joy. A Chicago mother started her little daughter out, similarly, at eight years old and at sixteen the girl was a better buyer than she was. These chil- Buying His Own Goods. dren were well started on the road to fine and self-respecting and independent citizenship. Both will enter college with a nice little financial nest egg to await the beginning of their business or professional life. The child's allowance, it may be added, should be for necessities mainly, with but a fair and modest margin for personal luxuries and pleasures. It should always be recognized as allowing for a regular proportion of savings, preferably invested in governmental securities. It should be carefully adjusted, rigidly adhered to on both sides of the bargain. Such respect and observance not only will teach the child good economic habits, but will abolish many too frequent annoyances for the financial head of the family. Each child given an allowance will understand that this sum, with his support and other parental provisions, represents his fair share of the family income, and that, as a decent citizen, he must not ask nor expect to exceed it. An adequate allowance system, moreover, will obviate the evil habit of crying or pleading for special indulgences and more funds. —THINK BEFORE YOU SPEND— Diamonds? Why Not W. S. S.? Diamonds to the value of $2,000,000,000—more than half the available world supply and value—are owned in the United States of America. Pretty things, diamonds, fascinating to watch, pleasing to wear, of high commercial value. Diamond prices rise every now and again, truly, but the rate of increase cannot be precisely calculated, and the risk of owning diamonds is large—unless they're tucked away in the safety deposit vaults where no one ever sees them. Now $2,000,000,000 invested in government securities, War Savings Stamps for example, would mean much better times for the country. Why not, for the sweet girl graduate, the bride, wife to be honored, War Savings Stamps instead of a diamond? Bright thought! The War Savings Stamps now and the diamond five years later—out of the War Savings Stamps profits when they mature. RUN THE HOUSEHOLD ON BUDGET SYSTEM Keep Careful Accounts and Divide Family Income Wisely— Suggestions for Various Salaries. A budget is absolutely necessary to the wise and well-proportioned running of a household. No budget can be made to fit all families, even families of similar size, locality, etc., but the well-proportioned budget provides a fair financial basis, a starting point from which to begin the work of wisely dividing the family income. The main thing is to get the budge et started, to keep careful accounts— in a way that will permit analysis of expenditures—for at least several months; a year, if possible. Many people keep accounts, personal and household, only in a way that balances cash and shows how it has been generally expended. A budget should do better than that. An exact budget is difficult to provide at present, with all living prices in a state of flux but with a prevailing upward tendency. Figures differ greatly in various sections of the country, frequently in various sections of the same state. But in strictly industrial centers, it has been authentically computed, food usually consumes about 43 per cent of the ordinary income, shelter 18 per cent, fuel and light 6 per cent, and the various "sundries" so grouped because so difficult of more exact classification, 20 per cent. In the following suggestive budgets for varying incomes the "saving" item has been placed first as most necessary where the family income is not too large and is practically inelastic. This item may include life insurance, savings bank accounts and such inevitable income-bearing governmental securities absolutely necessary with the kind of incomes noted—as Liberty Bonds and War Savings Stamps. Expenditure Budgets Annual Income $1,800. Yearly Monthly Saving $ 102.00 $ 8.50 Shelter 360.00 30.00 Fuel and light 190.00 15.00 Food and service 720.00 60.00 Clothing 240.00 20.00 Carfare 60.00 5.00 Recreation, church, charities, etc. 90.00 7.50 Emergency or house-hold maintenance fund 48.00 4.00 Total $1,800.00 $150.00 Annual Income $2,000.

The exact disposal of certain larger items, such as rent, fuel, food, must be decided, plans only changed thereafter when proven impracticable as at first arranged. A full account of personal and household expenditures should be kept for future reference and possible budget readjustments. Fairly, justly tried, the budget system will lift many a family from a financial Slough of Despond to sunshiny financial heights. SPEND. WISELY SAVE SANELY INVEST SAFELY Lots of Money in America.

By putting our money into these government securities the nation will be helped, the funds will be safely and profitably invested and the thrift habit will be given a further impetus. AN OPEN LETTER AN OPEN LETTER TO THE COLORED PEOPLE- We wish to say to our people of Massac County, and the surrounding territory, thereto. Having been solicited by a number of my people, also encouraged by some of my white friends who wish to see, and help secure employment for all returning soldiers, to enter the Undertaking business. I have finally decided to go into that business, with a view of serving my people, as well as having an employment, feeling that I can give them better service than members of the other race, 'though I am in friendly relation with all the other undertakers, and expect to retain that relationship throughout my business career- I am perfectly qualified to give unexcelled service and will guarantee satisfaction. I was born and reared in Metropolis, on 9th and Pearl Sts. Educated in Metroplis Public Schools, graduating from Dunbar High School in 1912. I then entered the Barnes School of Anatomy, Sanatary Science and Embalming, Chicago, Illinois, from which I graduated August 14, 1914, from which school I hold a Diploma. I then worked for Geo. W. Jones, 1914 W. Lake St., and Wm. W. Mason, 1815 W. Lake St., of Chicago, and was associated with the late N. W. Long, of Metropolis, for three years, thus preparing myself for the embalming busines. We are now located at 901 Pearl St., opposite the Gazette office, and we solicit your patronage. We will carry a small line of caskets only, at present, owing to the advance price on these goods, but we have arranged with a large undertaking establishment to furnish us with anything needed on short notice. We have a first class hearse at our command. Calls answered day or night; distance immaterial. We were in the U.

THE GLOBE PRINTING COMPANY, Publishers ST. LOUIS, MO. Invention of Cut Glass. Pressed glass was invented by an amble carpenter of Sandwich, Mass., but in the primitive state of affairs it profited him little. More than 200 years ago a Bohemian glass-maker conceived the idea of making cut glass. This idea was destined to revolutionize the entire glass industry of the world. The inventor began by making the walls of the article on which he was working thicker than he was wont so that he might cut the glass with a sharp knife into figures as he chose. The term "Indian summer" is applied to a period of mild, open weather that comes in the fall, embracing the most of October and sometimes extending into November, and characterized by a sort of dry mist or haziness that differentiates it from other seasons of the year. What causes the distinctive features of the season, especially the hazy atmosphere, is unknown, and the origin of the term equally so. Different explanations have been given of both, but they seem to be largely fanciful. a Calls promptly answered day or nignt. MeCrary’s Undertaking Company: GEO. L: B» MCCRARY, MGR.
