Kansas City, Mo—Mrs. Lucy Page, widow of the late William Page, and daughter of the atté Richard Moore of Emporia, Kansas, passed away on Tuesday evening. April 1 after a third stroke of paralysis at the age of 57 years. She suffered the first stroke five years ago. Forty seven years ago she united with the Second Baptist church from which her funeral was held Sunday, April 5 at 2 o'clock, Rev. S. W. Bacote, officiating. She lived a faithful, consistent Christian, delighted to take part in all phases of missionary work for which she became greatly renounced. She found greatest enjoyment since her first stroke in writing comforting letters to anyone she knew to be in distress. Hers was the sole honor of being first president of the State Missionary Society of Missouri which naturally kept her connected with the local mission work and circle of the Second Baptist church. To know Slater Page was to love her and hers was a wide circle of attentive devoted friends. She was affiliated with Henrietta Household of Ruth No. 160, G. U. O. O. F. 24 years; Ruth Chapter No. 4. O. E. S., 20 years; was P. D. R. N. G of Dist. Household of Ruth of Missouri; past Juvenile Mother of Naomi Juvenile No. 258 G. U. O. F. She leaves to mourn one daughter, Mrs. Inez P.

OUR NEW HOME PENDLETON AVE. ST. PERRINAND AVE. Poro Corner DEPARTMENT "A" 35 NATIONAL MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION IN KANSAS Under date of April 4, the National Memorial Association, Washington D. C., sends the following letter to Sergi Benj Arms, of this city, one of the Association's State Commissioners: "My Dear Mr. Arms: Since the organization of the National Memorial Association three years ago the Nation has been engaged in the greatest war known to history. As patriotic citizens the Negroes of America willingly offered and sa rified their lives in the defense of their country's honor and for the establishment of freedom and democracy for all people. Their valor and courage were displayed on the many battle fields in Europe. In recognition of which the French government has awarded to many of them medals of honor and has cited others for their bravery and distinguished services During the period of this war we were advised that on account of the many war measures demanding the attention of Congress it would be impossible to get a favorable consideration of our bill. Congressman L. C. Dyer and the Hon. Isaac R. Sherwood assured us that they would introduce our bill in the new Congress, and would do all they could in effect its passage. They urge that we keep our State Commissioners in touch with the work and their representatives in Congress. Now that the great war is closed, our boys returning home, whilst others are sleeping beneath the sod in France—the Negroes of America today have greater claim upon the National Government than they ever had before. While the story of the great war is being told in every home, and the echoes from the guns are still upon our ears, and the smoke of battle is almost seen in the distance, we believe this the most important time for us as a race to besti ourselves to put forth our every effort for the proper recognition due our valiant heroes. You must know that it requires money to promote a movement so important as this. At a recent meeting of the Advisory Board a campaign was outlined to cover each state and to interest our people throughout the country. Literature and the newspapers are to be used. The State Commissioners are requested to look after their respective states, assisted by an auxiliary board of commissioners, to be named by you, for ench city and town in your state. To put these plans into operation this office will need means at once. As a State Commissioner, representing your state, we appreciate the services that you have heretofore rendered this movement. Any contributions that may be secured or that are now available may be forwarded to this office for the carrying out of these plans. Thanking you for an immediate reply, I have the honor to remain. You're sincerely, JAS. H. W. HOWARD, Fin Sec. F. D. LEE, President. Write for our 1919 price list for goods you are sure to need this season.
