St. Louis Argus

REPUBLICANS HAVE STRONG TICKET FOR ALDERMEN Every registered Negro should go to the polls next Tuesday and vote the straight Republican ticket. The Republicans have selected a strong ticket composed of reliable men. Only in a very few wards is any weakness shown and the opposition does not present strength enough to justify a choice. For the first time in nearly twenty years the bipartisan school board tickets have been broken down. Four Republicans have been nominated. The candidates were selected in a convention, of which many of the delegates were colored, and after master speeches had been made by Attorney George L. Vaughn and Dr. C. H. Phillipa, Jr. An Argus reporter interviewed several candidates on the Republican ticket and found them without exception of one accord. All believe in a fair and impartial municipal government for all citizens alike and will oppose any class legislation that may come before the Board. A. H. FREDERICK Mr. Frederick was nominated for President of the Board by a large plurality. He was not a machine candidate and was chosen by the people. Mr. Frederick is a real estate man and has filled the highest office in the Real Estate Exchange. He is a member of several improvement associations and is a broad and capable man. JULIUS HALLER 24th Ward Mr. Haller is a real estate man. He was one of the "glate breakers" in the primaries; the people giving him the biggest vote of any of the eighty-eight candidates. He is a member of the present City Council and has always been found on the side most desirable to Argus readers. He can be depended upon at all times when measures of vital importance come before the new body. HERMAN C. KRALEMANN 22nd. Ward Mr. Kralemann is an insurance agent and has been a faithful party worker for many years. He has refuted any accusations that have been made regarding his tendency to favor class legislation and has furnished good evidence that he has always been fair and impartial, being one of the leaders who worked in the interest of the Summer High project during its warring period. CLINTON E. UDELL 23d Ward Mr. Udell is a native of Ashtabula County, in Northeastern Ohio. He comes from that loyal stock of Northerners who made the "Underground Railway" possible during the Civil War. He is a devout Christian. Has never been known to be partial. There can be no foundation for opposing him in this election. He will always be found on the side of justice for all people alike, and will add dignity to the Board. OTTO HAMPE 10th Ward Mr. Hampe has been in the insurance business for 19 years. He has been active in civic and political affairs and does not believe in class legislation. He is 39 years old, conservative and reliable. RALPH H. EILERS 26th Ward Mr. Ellers is 36 years old, a publisher, graduate of Washington University. He has rendered yoeman service to the Grand Old Party since he made his debut as a voter. He impresses all who meet him as being a fair and square citizen and possessing reliable qualities. MARTIN D. LOHMAN 9th Ward Martin D. Lohmann, nominee for Board of Aldermen, 9th ward. Born in St Louis; 48 years old, educated in public schools. Has never held public office. Been an active worker in the Republican ranks for twenty years. He is very broad in his views at all times, and is ready to go forward for the betterment of the people. Has been in banking business; was formerly dry goods clerk. By supporting Mr. Lohmann you will not be deceived and will add strength to our incoming Board of Aldermen. Continued on Page 87. The New Metropolitan has just closed its opening jubilee which was a success in every way. People from east, west, north and south have been guests at the pastor's office and observers of the wonderful plant that is now the property of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion church. The pastor wishes to congratulate and thank all of the city pastors and their congregations for the support given him during the jubilee celebration and especially does he wish to thank Dr. B. F. Abbott, of Union Memorial, W. Sampson Brooks, of St. Paul, George E. Stevens, of Central Baptist, and F. F. Martyn, of First Baptist. The members of the new Metropolitan are exultant in praise over their new home, they have entered into the work of the church as never before. Dr. B. G. Shaw is no doubt one of the greatest leaders and pastors of the race. He is regarded as one of the greatest evangelical preachers of his church. The new Metropolitan church, that has a seating capacity of fourteen hundred people, is packed at every service. The gymnasium and swimming pool are now in readiness for the people in St. Louis. For full information see Miss Jeanette Mack and Mr. Elmer Burgess. The sewing department is under the control of Mrs. Alberta Taylor and the terms are so reasonable that hundreds will take. The domestic science department will open in full blast next week. Mrs. Helen Burrell-Smith, directorex. The kindergarten, under the direction of Mrs. Wallace Turner is making much progress this week. The Millinery department, under the direction of Mrs. Isabelle Orum, will open next Tuesday. There is no minister possibly of the race that has been more helpful in a city than has been the Rev. Dr. Shaw. His name is the household word of all the people of St. Louis. He will preach Sunday morning from the subject: "The empty tomb." Many men and women are becoming members of the new Metropolitan, among the recent joiners are Mr. P. H. Mosby, professor of history in Sumner High; W. H. Mosby, the druggist, 809 N. Jefferson, and among the new-comers there is none that is more active than Chas. Williams. Mr. James H. Harrison, the official secretary of the Trustee Board, and a dashing little undertaker of our city, is proving to be one of the greatest churchmen of our denomination. Dr. E. S. Baily, a recent joiner, has been elected as one of the superintendents of the Metropolitan Sundayschool. He is building up a powerful influence for good. Mr. J. W. Myers, the first assistant of Sumner High, has been elected as one of the teachers in the Metropolitan Sunday-school. You will find in the columns of this paper, each week, spicy news of our church and people. Singing will be one of the main features of the Metropolitan Church, its choir having some of the best talent of the city. Mrs. Willetta Wright is possibly unequaled in St. Louis. Mr. Jefferson C. Covington, president of the Trustee Board of the Metropolitan Church, is ever on the alert as to the organization of which he is a member. Among the young people is Mr. Artie Matthews. Mr. Matthews has been elected as organist of the Christian Endeavor of the Metropolitan Church and is building up a splendid choir among the young people. He will conduct the music for Easter in the Endeavor from 7 to 8 o'clock.

To the Colored Voters of the City of St. Louis: We desire to especially call your attention to the candidacy of William C. McChesney for member of the Board of Aldermen from the Seventeenth Ward. Mr. McChesney was untiring in his efforts to have a colored man elected Sergeant-at-arms of the City Council two years ago; aided in securing the appointment of a colored clerk in the office of the President of the Board of Public Service and in the office of the Clerk of the Court of Criminal Correction. He is unalterably opposed to segregation and discriminatory legislation. His Democratic opponent is Daniel C. Nugent, Jr., who is connected with the Nugent store, in which not a single colored man is employed and which refuses to fit gloves on colored people. In the face of these facts, no self-respecting, race-loving colored man can afford to vote against William C. McChesney, or to vote for his Democratic opponent. S. B. Wallace, Wm. H. Robinson, Artee Fleming, Wm. H. King, Wm. Wynn, C. K.

Zion Church, last Sunday, was attended with the largest crowd that has ever turned out on such an occasion. It seemed a pity that a place like the Coliseum could not be had for this annual gathering. Dr. F. F. Martyn was at his best and preached a very logical sermon. The Courts of Calanthe were out in large numbers. The committee in charge is to be congratulated for the splendid showing. Marshal of the day, Wm. Carson, assisted by Thos. McCorrister, and General Chairman W. H. Davis, handled the large crowd well. DR. F. F.

Negro Insurance Pursuant to a popular demand from a large number of his policy holders, the Argus correspondent sought an additional interview with the subject of the sketch, Mr. Jno. R. Wilson to ascertain as near as possible the growth of Negro insurance business that is sold by Negro agents. Mr. Wilson spoke very freely and favorably of other Negro insurance agents in St. Louis, Mo., but was very reluctant to refer to his personal achievements in the insurance world. Mr. Wilson finally consented for an interview, the substance of which is as follows: I was appointed letter carrier at Houston, Tex., when 18 years of age and after serving in that capacity for six years I enlisted in the U. S. Army, being honorably discharged June 30, 1901 at Presidio, Cal. I returned to my native home, Houston, Texas, where I enjoyed the greetings of relatives and friends. I was subsequently appointed clerk in the R. M. S., April, 1903, and served in that department until December 8, 1912, when I severed my connection with the United States Government to engage in the insurance business. I want to speak to the people through the Argus, in regards to Negro business enterprises, especially insurance. There is a growing disposition among the masses of the race to assist struggling and deserving Negro business enterprises, to the extent that the Negro business man meets competition. Nine years ago, when I began writing "insurance as a "side line" while engaged in the government service, I discovered from my then success the possibilities of the insurance business, some of which I have realized. THE BROADWAY The particular results to which I would invite your attention are these: The entrance of Negro agents in the insurance business has forced better and more courteous treatment to be given colored patrons by their "white" collectors, has stimulated more prompt service in the payment of claims, and finally has placed within the reach of the Negro policy holder a more liberal contract. I have on my books several hundred policy holders and my collections average more than $500.00 per month which is the result of faithful service to an appreciative constituency. The time isn't far distant, when the great white corporations will be forced by Negro unity behind Negro business men to give profitable employment to men of color that they might get their share of Negro business. Mr. Wilson is general agent of Southern Surety Co., of St. Louis, Mo., which is capitalized at $1,750,000. He has his offices in the Douglas Hotel, where he will be pleased to receive the public at any time. Mr. Wilson is ably assisted by Mrs. Amanda McGuire, who aside from her technical knowledge of the insurance business, is a public stenographer, and solicits the patronage of the public.

LESSON TEXT—I Samuel 15:10-12 GOLDEN TEXT—Behold, to obey it better than sacrifice—I Samuel 15:22 Jonathan's victory (ch. 14) brought with it a sinning on the part of the hungry, harassed Israelites in that they ate of the spoils "with the blood" (14:51, 32; Lev. 3:17, 7:26). In the emergency Saul erected "the first altar that he built unto the Lord" (ch 14:35), a rather dilatory act on the part of a God-anointed king. Saul had resorted to the subterfuge of commanding the people "to roll a great stone," i.e., cut the throats of the animals of which they had eaten that they might bleed, and thus be in evidence that the animals had died before being eaten. This the people did; fearing Saul, but invading no enemies in transgressing God's commands. These same people rescued Jonathan from the foolish vow of Saul, for it was his faith and valor that had chiefly brought about the victory. 1. God's Sorrow, vv. 10-12. Samuel had first revealed God's purpose in making Saul king, and likewise first declared God's purpose to dispose of Saul (v. 10). Saul's actions (vv. 1-9) had stamped him as being no longer worthy of God's confidence. The word "repenteth," meaning "to sigh" (v. 11), denotes a change of feeling due to Saul's actions and not to any change in the character, purpose or desires of Good. God was sorry that Saul had proved himself unworthy. A half-way obedience of God's command only heightened his guilt. "Whatever moral difficulties seem to lie, for a later age, in Saul's commission against Amalek, there were none such for him" (Vaughn). Man's repentance involves a change of mind and purpose. In Saul's case God repented, changed the instrument of his execution, because of the change of circumstances and relation. God is ever the same; it is man alone who changes. Saul had given Samuel cause for anger (v. 11 R. V.), but he did the wise thing in taking it to God in prayer. Arising early the next morning Samuel hastened to acquaint Saul with Jehovah's message. It is remarkable of how many of the great men of the Bible it is said that they rose early, Abraham, Glideon, Joshua, Job, Jacob, Moses, etc., not to forget our Lord Jesus. II. Samuel's Rebuke, vv. 13-19. It must have been a striking scene when the aged Nazarite prophet faced the proud but recreat king. A guilty conscience is often covered by a great show of plety (v. 13), but such acts cannot stifle the conviction of the heart nor deceive the righteous judge. Sin proclaims itself even as Samuel's sharp question brought conviction from the lips of Saul (v. 14; Prov. 28:13). Saul thought to deceive Samuel by using a falsehood (v. 15). The only safe course is to confess our sins (Pa: 32:15; L. John 1:9). There is an interesting suggestion in the way Saul uses the impersonal "they" and "we" in verse 15, as if to lay the guilt of his acts upon others. It is easy for the sinner to blame others and seek to minimize his own guilt (Rom. 14:12). Verse 9 clearly indicates why Saul and the people had spared the best of the cattle. To use a part only for God and the rest for self in direct disobedience to God's rights or the rights of others is to incur his righteous wrath (vv. 22, 23). III. Saul's Self-Rejection, vv. 20-23. God set Saul aside because he had rejected the right and chose the wrong. Face to face with his sin Saul could not dodge the issue. Samuel's "wherefore" (v. 19) must have aroused Saul's guilty conscience. It is a question which should reach every tempted soul. Samuel characterized Saul's sin as being due to stubbornness, rebellion, disobedience and a rejection of God (v. 19). Again Saul seeks to evade his responsibility (vv. 20, 21). Then Samuel speaks plainly (v. 22) comparing his sin of disobedience with witchcraft, stubbornness, iniquity and idolatry. Plainly he tells Saul, "Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king" (v. 23). Driven thus to a corner Saul made a confession of his guilt (v. 24) but spoiled it all by acknowledging that he had greater fear of the people than of God. This is Easter Sunday, our reproach has been removed, not at Gilgal but on Calvary. The unchanging God hates sin, which is unchangeable, has condemned it on the Cross that the guilty sinner may live. The persistence of sin, the unchangeablence of God and his unyielding hatred of sin are met by the culmination of Easter for, "By the obedience of one shall many be made righteous" (Rom. 6:19). The whole root of Saul's trouble was his attitude towards the word of God. Every man's destiny Binges upon what he does with the Living Incarnate Word.

GREAT CONCERT PIANIST AT CENTRAL BAPTIST Helen Eugenia Hagan, Assisted By T. C. Choral Club, To Appear Tuesday, April 6th. Helen Eugenia Hagan, the great concert pianist, will delight St. Louis, Tuesday, April 6, 1915, at Central Baptist Church, corner Ewing and Washington, assisted by the Central Baptist T. C. Choral Club, Troy Gorum, Director. This promises to be one of the rarest treats St. Louis has ever enjoyed. Every man, woman and child shall hear Miss Hagan. She is young, graceful, cultured, winning, fresh from European study. Coming from America's most cultured center, a product of Yale, a winner of the Simons Sanford Fellowship, and a student in Paris at The Scala Cantorum, at which she distinguished herself, music lovers in America looked for great things from Miss Hagan. True to herself and to the friends who stood sponsor for her career, she has not failed to make good. The discriminating taste of a Birmingham music loving audience was eminently satisfied. She played with an ease and an artistic touch that at once proclaimed her the finished, artist, and that would stand her in good stead in the presence of a much more critical audience. According to the announcement made in her advertising circular, Miss Hagan is said to be traveling for one definite purpose—that is to gather material on the Folk Songs of the American Negro. Her rendition of the few transcriptions of such melodies that appeared on her program went directly home to her Southern audience Monday night in a manner that presages a certain triumph in her aim, if she stick steadfastly to it. Friends are urged to come early so as to be seated before the concert begins. Everybody welcome. All music and study clubs are invited to attend in a body. Mrs. Victoria Clay Haley, Manager, Mts. E. J. Smith, Chairman Entertainment Committee. Mr. Troy Gorum, Choral Director General admission, 25 cents. Reserved seats, 35 cents.

HATCHING SEASON NOW OPEN A The Senter's Hatchery opens the season for the selling of day old chicks. So great was the demand last season for day-old chicks that we were compelled to increase our hatching capacity to 3,000 eggs every twenty-one days. We are now in a position to place on the market 1,000 baby chicks each week. Chicks bought from the Senter's Hatchery can be expected to five, for one eggs come from hens that are range raised, full of life and vigor. An egg incubated from such stock, and with the proper methods of hatching, results in a chick that, with ordinary care and a little expense, is a fowl worth having. Many people who live in large cities seem to be under the impression that they have no room or space to raise even a few chicks, but they are very badly mistaken. To raise any large amount of chicks it would naturally become a farm business and would require more ground than is afforded by a small city back yard. But to raise a very few chicks at a time, especially for table use, and as a means of cutting down meat bills, thus taking a slap at hard times, very little ground is required. A large drygoods box, or a piano box, a cellar or coal shed, will answer the purpose well. Artificial means of exercise may be installed, which will take the place of free range. The feed bill is not to be considered because what you would throw away as garbage would feed a few chicks very nicely, thus you become not only a city poultryman, but an economist as well. There is no poultry food so good as table scraps for growing chicks. The Senter's Hatchery ventures to say, that when people of the great cities quit packing their garbage pails and realize that the table scraps that go into the pail could just as well be fed to a few baby chicks, then, and not until then, will that horrible nightmare of hard times be vanished. Our custom and commercial hatching department can not be excelled, as our incubator cellar is about perfect in the control of temperature, moisture and ventilation. Our incubators are of the very latest pattern, automatic in regulation and free from the use of coal oil fumes. Those having eggs to hatch run no risk in bringing them to us, for the manager has had expert knowledge of the art of incubation for many years, hence the chicks from one of these incubators, located in this almost perfect cellar, at exclusion, the chick is as fluffy and ripe and leaves the shell as free as a well ripened strawberry in June. Our incubators are equipped with the latest style ventilators, the drop bottom, so much spoken of by the United States Department of Agriculture. It has been proven that a chick hatched in a machine of this kind will have a better start for life. So many people are prejudiced to incubator chicks. Many believe they can not be raised without a mother, that they must be taught to eat, but this is all a mistake: they are in every way the equal of those hatched with hens. Why let a hen come off with only one chick and then try to raise this one only, when you can buy a dozen or so chicks from the Senter's Hatchery. Slip them under her at night. She will not know the difference if you do not tell her. To Every Housekeeper who has ten square feet of ground, he or she can buy one dozen little baby chicks at $1.50 per dozen; feed table scraps from two to three months. Then you have a fry or roaster, weighing from two and one-half to three pounds. Repeat this process every three months during the year and after eating these home-raised and fed chickens, you will find there is a great difference in the taste of the meat and about fifty per cent saved on your meat bill.

Z [SAvionaL Means | AN EASTER MESSAGE Why should it he thought at thing incredible with you that God should, raise the dead? Things all around us suggest it. The blossoming woods, where Jove delights to make his bower, are re- clothed in beauty with evéry spring. Out of- what. grew all these flowers? Out of mold anq the earth. Resurrected! The radiant butterfly. where did it corpe from? Out of the loathsome cater- pillar. That albatross thaf smites the tempest with its wing, where did it come from? A senseless shell. Resurrected! In France, in a Celtic Jomb under a block, were found flower seed that had been buried 2,000 years. The explorer took the flower seed and planted it; it bloomed in Bluebell and Heliotrope. Two thousand years ago buried, yet resurrected! A traveler found in a mummy-pit in Egypt garden peas that had been buried there 3,000 years ago. He brought them out and planted them, and in thirty days they sprang up. Buried 3,000 years ago, yet resurrected! Where did all this silk come from—the silk that adorns your persons and your homes? In the hollow of a staff, a Greek mis- sionary brought from China to Europe the progenitors of the very worms that now supply the silk markets of the world. “The gar- mented procession down the streets and. in the churches on Easter Sunday will be only the blazing out of the resurrected silk worm. And who shall be surprised if out of this insignificant earthly body, we ‘shall-unfold into something worthy of the coming eternities? Put silver into nitric acid and it will dissolve and disappear. Is ‘the silver gone forever? No, Put in some copper andj the sil- ver reappears. If one force dissolves, another force resurrects. Every year there is a resurrection in all our gardens. Why not, some day, a resurrection amid all our graves? ‘The far-up cloud, higher than the eagle flies, what is it made of? Drops of water from the Mississippi, other drops from the Missouri, other drops from the lakes ‘and stagnant pools—all up yonder there, and embodied in a cloud, and the sun kindles it. If God can make such a lustrous cloud out of water drops, many of them: soiled and impure, can He not transport the fragments of the human body from the earth, and out of them build a radiant body? ” ‘Then, all hail! Easter, queen of the royal court off the Sab- baths. There are fifty-one*princes in her household, but Easter is queen. She wears a richer diadem, and sways a more jeweled sceptre, and in her smiles nations are irradiated. She holds high up in her right hand the wrenched-off bolt of Christ's sepulchré, and she holds high up in her left hand the key to all the cemeteries in Christendom. AN hott!

DEATHS Daniel Shelton Eva Wilkins, Lulu Rucker, Joseph Lane, Samuel Robin Baby Ross, 18, Lulu Mae Bro The passing of Robert Fox removes from our midst one of our foremost citizens; a figure so commanding; a character so many sided that all who knew him now rest in the shadow of the sorrow that hangs over our fair city like a pall. His three devoted friends wish to herein express their sorrows at the passing to the echoless silence of the voiceless tomb. This man, our beloved friend, our associate, has realized the meaning of a life beyond the grave in his broad hospitalities. We have shared his company; we have been recipients of his kindness and generosities. We three, which in this solemn hour when death makes each of us conscious of the equal frailty of all God's creatures, to express our deep sympathy and great sorrow and the passing of this good man, this husband and friend and the tie that has bound four friends together, has been broken. The tie that bound these four friends together was welded together with love, faith, truth and kindness. In our solemn thoughts, we extend our deepest sympathy to his faithful and devoted wife.

TESTIMONIALS: Dear Madam: I have a friend by the name of Mrs. Sarah Miller, and have been personally friendly to her for over three years, and during the time she wore a wig. I have been treating her hair for about two months, and now she has taken the wig off, and uses her own hair except a small piece in the back. This treatment is wonderful, I must say. Another lady by the name of Mrs. Emma Tuks, when I first saw the lady I was afraid to touch her hair, I thought I would burn the scalp, her hair was so short, and if you had seen her before I began to treat her scalp you would not believe it was the same head; it was the worst one I have met with. I will mention some more next time. Yes, Nineteen Fourteen, in the month of August, I was visiting my friend, Mrs. Emma B. Wills; she and I were looking over the Voice of the People, a newspaper, and found Major's advertised hair grower, and we both decided to work for the Oxford College. I have tried everything for my hair and nothing did it any good, until I began using Major's Hair Oils; and I feel proud of my hair today, and feel more than able to speak for it anywhere and any time. I can truly say it is the real thing and does the work. And I will say to all ladies, let us work hard, and use W. L. Major's face creams, hair oils and powder, and look good. Your Oxford Complexion Cream is among the best I have ever used, it shall always be on my dressing table, and you may be sure that your number of customers will be made more numerous by my advocating the use of it among my many friends and acquaintances. Yours truly, G. E. Bostwick, Murphysboro, Ill. Your agent, Mrs. Muriel Hall, Tampa, Fla.

If the dark and gloomy days are hanging over your head let the Oxford System bring you joy and happiness to your home regardless of where you live. The Majors Oxford System are making the little ones cheerful everywhere each day. This system always steps in just in time. A mother was discharged, without a penny, and had no one to help her. Around her there was a number of little ones to be cared for. She at once thought of what she had heard of the Majors Oxford College. Finally she sent her newspaper, with an advertisement of the Majors Oxford College, which contained the address: 4246 Baldpill PL, St. Louis, Mo. She wrote for the free offer, how to grow hair and beautify the skin. Today no one can discharge her, she is earning from $15.00 to $25.00 per week. It looks impossible, but it is true. I gladly furnish a testimony from the hundreds which I have: Dear Sir, I more than delighted with my correspond course, and only wish that all needy mothers and daughters could all see this opportunity. I gave up my school to devote all my time to my customers. time to my customers.

ETRY I WRITE TOUSHING DETRY DON'T I MOUSED BOOKER WASHINGTON The last week of Lent showed up very lively at the Booker Washington Theater Monday night. Mr. Turpin had prepared a bill par excellence and the patrons were drinking the various concoctions with ecstasy. The Payne Trio, headed by Miss Mayne Payne, a winsome soubrette, supported by "Rastus" and Clinton Taylor, present an act replete with good, clean comedy, catchy song, and artistic dances. They are going well with the crowds. Theodore Ranky, one of the highest priced singles in colored vaudeville, a matinee idol of the first magnitude, is winning the plaudits of the gents as well as the ladies, with his repertoire of high class songs and recitations. His feature, "The Shooting of Dan McGrew," is almost a classic and is delivered with an impressive feeling that brings out the artistic talent of the actor. He is receiving much praise. Allen and Wiggins, as gingerly a pair of comedians as ever stepped behind the Booker Washington footlights, are taking the house by storm. Wiggins is famous for his buck and wing dancing and Allen for his violin executions. They are living up to their reputations this week and keeping the patrons in a continuous round of applause. The Turpin Artists, the feature card, close the bill. These capable stars are presenting this week. "A King for an Hour." The characters in the tabloid are: The King Tim Moore Slick Jones, the Grafter Bowman Widow Brown Hester Moore Clara Brown Ursell Burnette The Butler Joseph Burrell The theme surrounds the King's antipathy of "Beans," and affords much comedy in his efforts to avoid the innocent service of such. The company has made a distinctive hit with its initial performance and bids fair to be a big drawing card during its stay at this popular house.

GIANTS READY FOR THE BIG OPENING APR.18 Kuebler's Park Will Be The Scene of the Most Ostentatious Inauguration Colored Baseball Has Ever Had in St. Louis. Champion Belleville Team to be the Stellar Attraction. Mills Has Star Line-up. New Park a Beauty. The Belleville Maroons, champions of the Trolley League, will oppose the new St. Louis Giants in their opening game Sunday, April 18. Phil. Kavanaugh, the famous socker football star, is at the head of the Maroons. This is one of the best white teams in this section of the country. In the line-up this season will be found such men as Freis, last year with Des Moines, of the Three-I League, and Jockeret, of the 1915 Detroit American League Club. /Too much credit cannot be given the officials of the Trolley League for permitting the Maroons to open the Giants' season, this being the first time in its history where a previous year's champions were permitted to play a Negro team before the opening of a season's schedule. This only exemplifies the extreme popularity of Manager Mills with the whites as well as his own people. Kuebler's Park is in prime condition, a beauty to be admired, and will be a big surprise to the fans on opening day. That the fans will crowd it to capacity on April 18 is assured by the big advance demand for box seats. Nearly all have been engaged. Among the occupants will be: Peark Taylor and party, Ted Pruet and party, Thomas Mills and party, Arthur Chisom and party, Sam Shepard and party, James Turner and party, Walter Henderson and party, B. Joice and party, J. J. Mattjoy's friends, Mr. and Mrs. Riley Pierce, Mr. and Mrs. Herbert T. Meadows, James Glass and party, Ralph Turner and party, Robert Pinard and party, G. Malone and party, Clinie Smith's party, Miss Birdie Hawkins and party, Miss Gene DeLaney and party, Mr. and Mrs. Melville Gamble and party, Mr. and Mrs. Noah Warrington and party, Mr. and Mrs. John Estes and party, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Anderson and party, and five boxes reserved by Robert L. Jones for the American Hotel Waiters. The fair sex will be well represented. The Argus reporter, in reviewing the practice this week, discovered what will probably prove true. Out of the big bunch of recruits trying out Mills will find only three or four who will be able to make the team. Most of the regulars are showing mid-season form and there is a great chance of the youngsters supplanting such men as McAdoo on first, Bennett in center, Hewett at second, or Lyons in left field. Manager Mills announces that one of the big features on the opening day will be a band concert from 12:30 to 3:30 when the umpire will call, "Play ball!" GIANTS' NEW UMPIRE SHOULD MAKE GOOD J. J. Mattjoy, the new Giants' umpire, is a man of talent and should make good in his official capacity. He has served the government as interpreter on the border between the U.S. and Mexico, and has been an interpreter for the Mexican secret service in Mexico City, under Portfrio Diaz. He speaks six languages perfectly, and has been at Barcelona, Spain, Hamburg, Havana, Honolulu, Paris, and in the Philippines and Panama. He has had considerable base-ball experience. In Keokuk, Ia., last season, he was selected to umpire the Three-I League games for four weeks, during a shortage of officials. He made good and should make good with the Giants. BALL GAME BALL GAME The St. Louis Cubs will play their opening game with East St. Louis Giants Sunday afternoon at E. Broadway Park, East St. Louis. Manager of the Cubs, Henry Pendleton, expects a large crowd to be present.

The third of our series of Neighborhood Conferences was held at the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Cheney on Cote Brilliante Avenue. Splendid short talks were made by Miss Arsania Williams, Mrs. Trice, Miss Belcher, of our branch, Mrs. Ruth Coleman and Miss Howard of the Extension Department of Central Association. The next conference will be held at the home of Prof. and Mrs. E. S. Williams on S. Compton, Tuesday evening, April 6. Our series of gospel meetings closed last Sunday afternoon. Six young women have accepted Christ and entered the church of their choice. A special Easter service will be held Sunday afternoon at Berea Presbyterian Church. An interesting program has been arranged. Rev. F. F. Martyn will bring the Easter message. The public is invited. ST.LOUIS TO ENTERTAIN CONGRESS SECRETARY St. Louis, Mo.—Henry A. Boyd, secretary of the Sunday-school Congress will be due in St. Louis, Sunday, April 11. The arrangement for the coming of the secretary of the congress was perfected through the untiring efforts of Mr. M. Roland, president of the Antioch Sunday-school Convention, and Dr. J. Eldridge Hurt, who is an active member of the Sunday-school work of the city, and who is a member of Pleasant Green Sunday-school. The suggested program has been announced for a very busy Sunday. The chances are, in order to make these places, an automobile will be placed at the disposal of the Congress Secretary. He will arrive in St. Louis, Sunday morning at 9:00 a. m., where he will be taken to breakfast as the guest of Rev. Dr. Parker, pastor of the Pleasant Green Baptist Church. At 9:30 A. m., he will be at the First Baptist Church, Rev. F. F. Martyn, pastor. At 11:00 A. m., he will be at Central Baptist Church, Rev. G. E. Stevens, D. D., pastor. At 1:00 p. m. at the Pleasant Green Baptist Church, Rev J. K. Parker, pastor. At 3:00 P. M. he will address a mass meeting of pastors, superintendents, teachers and Sunday-school workers. At 8:00 P. M. he will be at the Antioch Baptist Church, Rev Wm. Perry, pastor. That Mr. Boyd will be welcomed in St. Louis by the Baptist forces, because of the great work he represents, goes without saying. TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Wheeler, of 4287 St. Ferdinand, entertained a number of friends on March 20 in honor of their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary. The house was beautifully decorated with smilax. A mock ceremony was performed by Rev. A. A. Gilbert, after which a delightful menu was served. A number of useful silver pieces were presented by the following: Mr. and Mrs. S. Green, silver berry spoon; Mr. and Mrs. Parks, set of tablespoons; Mr. and Mrs. H. Stewart, one-half dozen teaspoons; Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Otey, teaspoons; Mr. and Mrs. Kittrell, flower vase; Mr. and Mrs. Pickens, cream pitcher and sugar bowl; Mr. and Mrs. McDonnell, salt and pepper stand; Mr. H. W. Wheeler, set of knives and forks; Mr. A. Mungo, sugar shell. Coin presented by the following: Rev. and Mrs. A. A. Gilbert. Messrs and Mesdames P. A. Harrison, J. Velar, O.

Do so at once. EASTER AT ST. PAUL Special Easter Services have been arranged at St. Paul Church. The pastor, Dr. Brooks, will preach at 11:00 a.m. on the subject: "The Resurrection of the Redegerm." At 3:00 P. M. the Intermediate department of the Sunday-school will render its Easter program. At 8:00 P. M. the pastor will preach on: "The Stone Rolled Away." The choir has made special preparation for the occasion and will render excellent Easter music. The Sun hine Club has charge of the decoration for the church. Allen Christian Endeavor League will have a special program. Y. M. C. A. NOTES Branch Rickey, the manager of the Browns, will be the speaker at the Y. M. C. A. Men's Meeting Sunday, April 4, at Douglass Hall. Mr. Rickey has the distinction of being a winning manager who never goes to the baseball park on Sunday. He is a strong speaker and a large crowd of men will doubtless hear him at 3:30 next Sunday. Dr. C. H. Phillip made an interesting and helpful talk to a good crowd of men last Sunday on the subject, "The Value of a Man." The Gles.
