Grand Leader Promotes Employe Thomas Brown, who has been head starter over the elevator service at Grand Leader ever since their removal to the present location, has been promoted to a more responsible position. Mr. Brown has been given a private office and placed in charge of the complaint department for colored people. This is not a discrimination, but a department created simply to give individual attention to the big patronage Grand Leader is enjoying from the colored people. Mr. Brown will also have the power of salesman, and will act as a guide and assistant to prospective buyers. Mr. Brown is intelligent, courteous and ambitious. He is the first Negro to receive a responsible position in any department store in St. Louis. He has won this distinction by honesty and thrift, and paves the way to a new field of employment for our young men. Grand Leader has also placed a thoroughly modern and sanitary restaurant, for colored people, in charge of Harry Elazer; and a maid, Miss Minnie DeHaven, in the apparel department to care for colored patrons.

A WORD WITH REGARD TO THE WHEATLEY BRANCH Y. W. C. A., ST. LOUIS, MO. I wish to say that in traveling over the country I have taken particular interest in the Colored Branches of the Young Women's Christian Association, and where it has been possible has made of them homes while in cities where they have been located. A great deal of good work is being done by all of them but without the least shadow of a doubt, the St. Louis branch is doing far more to fill the real purpose for which the Christian Association is supposed to exist than any other Branch in the United States, I have been in the building now four weeks, Sept. 1, to Sept. 30, 1915, and have given no little attention to conditions. The girls of the building seems to have been reached most thoroughly by the refining and cultural influence of the Association spirit, and the home-like atmosphere has gripped them until it really has made the place home indeed. The new quarters being prepared will be the best and most thoroughly equipped of any in the United States for Colored girls. The citizens of St. Louis could do no better thing than to give it their whole-hearted, enthusiastic support. KATHRYN M.

ELIJAH TAKEN UP INTO HEAVER LESSON TEXT—II Kings 2:1-128,”° GOLDEN TEXT—In thy presence Hs fullness of joy; at thy right hand ther are pleasures forever more.—Ps, M:th, ‘This chapter te in type the Chris: tian’s chapter. There are two chief divisions: (1) Translation vy.~ 1-13; (2) reception and use of power vy. 12- 26. The event occurred probably 899 B.C. This ta » wonderful lesson for youth as it. emphasizes that the way to heaven is the way to the best of life. 1. Elisha’s Testing, vv. 18 Bince Carmel, Elijab had largely been work ing according to the “still small voice.” He had revived the schools of Samuel, but now in some way: notice was sent from God that the time of his departure was at hand. How El- sha learned this fact. the record does ‘Rot suggest, but he bad bad a great object leason in Elijah's faithful, atep- by-step obedience to Jehovah's word and doubtless was lstening keenly for Elijah’s words and for the volco of Jebovah. This explains. Eltsha’s tenacity, Gllgal (v. 1) means “wheel’ —our reproach rolled away, and is a picture of our salvation (I. Peter 6:7; Ps. 65:22). Elijab bad already learned the lesson of being supplanted by a younger man and s0 he gracefully at. lows Elisha to follow him. “Bethel,” the house of God, was a good piace to ‘tarry bet not for Elisha at this timo Now (v. 3) fifty “sona"—pupile—of the 7 Prophet seek to dissuade Elisha Knowing something was about to -Bappen, they “stood to view afar off,” but were not willing to draw nigh, to ‘follow Ike Elishs. ‘They thereby tailed to reap a rich reward (John 12:26). Jericho (v. 4) means “tra sgrance.” It is the place of tompta tion (I. Cor. 10:13). This waa 14 miles farther and contained « settle. ment’of prophets. Again Elijah and Elisha passsed on, the one to glory. the other to the fullness of the Holy Spirit. At Jericho (v. 6) the “son of the prophet” evidenced greater in- terest than those at Bethel, but in reply to thelr challenge Elisha com. manded silence. The last difficulty to confront them was Jordan (death), but they do not hesitate, for God had Provided even for that contingengy. Neither are we to hesitate but wil- Ungly “die thto self.” Here the aged Prophet exercised his supernatural ‘power and they “went over on dry ground” (v. 8). Though this journey feems to have been revéaled only stage by stage, yet it was direct to the final goal. and at each stage. though they saw not the end, they knew where to go next. This loyalty of Elisha to Elijah ts a great lesson for us to follow in our service of Christ—our privilege of loyalty to his cause and the blessing which will re- sult thereby. No great victory or Dlessing ever comes without much trevail and testing. 7 1. Elljah's Translation, wv. 912a, Even as in the first section we see in type the plan of salvation so in this fection we are taught the resultant facts and the experiments which come to us when the blessing {s received. ‘Elisha Js now encouraged to “ask,” yet wé have a like promise from a greater than Elijah which we too often neglect (John 14:13, 15:17). Elijah was such a, mighty man of prayer (James 5:17, 18) that he was on inti mate terms with God and could there- fore make such an offer to Elisha (see Acts 8:16, 17). Notice that the “fifty tons of the prophets” who “stood afar off” were not on the right side of the river to receive a like promise or en- ter into the same fellowship. In a sense this was Elisha’s final test. Again Elijah may not have known the plan of God that a man so unlike him- self was to take the place of leader hip. Elijah said, however, “if thou see me when I am taken from thee,” tf God gives you spiritual, vision to use and to understand, then he will accept you as my successor. There must be persistence to the end and spiritual vision. “As they still went oa” Elijah went up, not in @ chariot but attended by chariots and by @ “whirlwind tnto heaven.” (See ilso Ezek. 1:4; I Kings 6:17). Elijah, the man of tempestuous fire and sword, who in his hour of weakness prayed to die, is swept out of sight amid ‘a display of God's power in and through nature. @ the simplicity of the recori— san areas though such power were ® simple and a commion thing for Je hovan. ‘The translation of Jeaus was quite different and properly so (Acts 1:9; Luke 24:51). “And he saw tt.” Elisha's eyes wore open and he saw. bis departing chief, therefore he pe | NATURE'S NOBLEST BEVERAGE better Bs WHEN old Bohemid grows better WHEN Nature's springs bubble forth purer waters— c ye eal has been de. to art— and op ae it Sree danke ut user eC me ANHEUSER-BUSCH : SB LOUIS-U.S.A The Beer for the Home, ~ Hotel, Club and Cafe : Instruction for the Sinne By REV. 8.

Bx pa a oe eke oe je aerey, We oare to his own way,” and “all have stnned and come short of the glory of God.” Our history and our conscience bear witness to the truth of it. The present writer and reader must make the same humiliat ing confession: “I have trespassed against my God.” The evil thing fe already done and the record {s already made. The temptation to think that we can do enough good to blot out the evil is a subtle one. We cannot go back over the road and live it over in such manner as to hide the record we have lett. We sometimes say, “I wish 1 could go back and do it differently,” but time refuses to turn back for us. The tecord is there and all we can say of it fs, in the words of Ponttus Pilate, “What I have written I have written.” The words spoken that should have remained unuttered may be forgotten but they are all record. ed. The deeds of evil we cannot undo. The sins are already committed and the ster should mot be 86 much ex. erciaed about what will happen in the future as about what has happened in the past. There may be a difference in the number and character of sins commit ted, but trespass there ts against each one. To trespass means to get “over the fence” ér “out of Bounds.” God has set bounds for man to walk in end av far as the fatal results are concerned one might as weil be a mile out of those bounds as merely @ foot. God says that “he that keep eth the whole law and yet offendeth fn one point is guilty of all.” If a ‘man’s life depended on the strength of ® chain, nine strong links would not avert the catastrophe resulting trom @ weak link that breaks One sin is enotigh to put one “out of bounds” Therefore this ts a proper confession for everyone to make, “I have tres- passed against my God.” Il. The gracious comfort for the stn- ner—‘yet now, there is hope concern- ing this thing.” In spite of tho trespass whether large or small, every sinner has this hope. God says to all, “Come now and let us reason together: Though -your sins be as scarlet, they shall be ‘as white as snow.” The natural thing for'a sinner to do {s to hidé from the One who has been offended. This Adam did when God came into Eden after the fall. But notin judgment, but in grace does God come Not to condemn but to save. In the future he will come to judge and to condemn, ‘But today there is hope for all The message from God's Word Is, “Now is the accepted time, behold today is the day of salvation” Many say, “I will think about the maiter,” but the fora says “today” at once, now, not row. Many have gone to a hope. ‘Hess eternity just because they per sisted tn thinking about instead of ‘accepting God's gracious offer of @ Present salvation. And this text pro- claims a universal hope, including all who have trespassed. It is extended to everyone. Over and over God's Word declares that “Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” “Whosoever will may come and take of the water of life freely.” “Whosoever believeth on him shall Rot perish but have everlasting life.” If.

That is what it. It would not only retard the city's growth in relation. St. Louis cannot overcome the laws he can not grow, with segregation or any other laws.

St. Louis can only hope to remain the Fourth City by precept and example. Laws, of regulation, have welded a strong influence in building up the population of large cities. Adverse laws have been disasterous. If we recognize all peoples, with equal rights and special privileges to none, we promote a feeling of well come that induces immigration. St. Louis must emulate the examples of her larger sisters or her competitors will take her place. No city can be in the circle of the big four and admit to the world that she has within her confine a populous race of undesirables. Everyone is aware that there is a large element of undesirables in every large city; but to admit or claim that there are, in addition-fifty thousand others who are not fit to live in the same district, would be repulsive to the outsider. That is what segregation would do. It would not only retard the city's growth but decrease its population. St. Louis cannot overcome the laws of human nature, she can not grow, with segregation or any other discrimination in her laws. There is a certain degree of human kindness in everyone's heart. Public humiliation is distasteful and repulsive. St. Louis must strive to attract if she hopes to remain the fourth city. The following article just issued in pamphlet form, by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, explains the segregation idea in a nutshell. We reprint it for the benefit of all liberty-loving citizens. SEGREGATION AND ITS EVILS. Residential Segregation, such as is proposed for the Louis, means the involuntary restriction of the rights to own and occupy property where they may desire to. The proposed ordinance provides that Negroes shall a block, the majority of whose residents are white peo versa, and provides a penalty for its violation. The i ncks of the city being already largely occupied by white grores would naturally be kept where they are. Residential Segregation, such as is proposed for the City of St. Louis, means the involuntary restriction of the rights of Negroes to own and occupy property where they may desire and are able. The proposed ordinance provides that Negroes shall not live in a block, the majority of whose residents are white people, and vice versa, and provides a penalty for its violation. The improved blocks of the city being already largely occupied by white people, Negroes would naturally be kept where they are. Let us see what would be the result. THE GHETTO. The neighborhoods in which Negroes reside in any appl- numbers would be speedily given over to them, should the o- come a law. There is this exception, however: white men will be able to conduct stores, saloons and other businesses tetto, for the proposed law makes no provision whatso- ward to such places. Huddled together the streets in the would be permitted to get out of repair and it would be dive them mended. Lighting would be poor, sanitation a protection would lessen and general conditions would be tolerable because of neglect. It would be difficult indeed public sentiment sufficiently to change conditions because Negroes (would) live over there." Insurance rates would be higher than in other sections of the city because of office and fire protection and this would add to the rent would have to pay. Landlords would be slow to repair or property because Negroes could live no where else. The would speedily become congested, because Negroes incre- her human beings, and would thus endanger health as- ing other evils. The neighborhoods in which Negroes reside in any appreciable numbers would be speedily given over to them, should the ordinance become a law. There is this exception, however: white men would still be able to conduct stores, saloons and other businesses in this ghetto, for the proposed law makes no provision whatever with regard to such places. Huddled together the streets in the ghetto would be permitted to get out of repair and it would be difficult to have them mended. Lighting would be poor, sanitation police protection would lessen and general conditions would become intolerable because of neglect. It would be difficult indeed to arouse public sentiment sufficiently to change conditions because "only Negroes (would) live over there." Insurance rates would naturally be higher than in other sections of the city because of lack of police and fire protection and this would add to the rent Negroes would have to pay. Landlords would be slow to repair or decorate property because Negroes could live no where else. The district would speedily become congested, because Negroes increase like other human beings, and would thus endanger health as well as bring other evils. RESTRICTIONS. Being able to live only in the ghetto, Negroes would be difficult to exhertorb prices when buying or renting property. They would be difficult to secure loans on the property because the he notes would not be sure he would not have to dispose of buildings at a loss in case the debtor defaulted in his pay and because insurance would be hard to obtain or to collect loss by fire. If a Negro who now owns property in a block where the security of the people are white, should move out, he would be able either to move back or to rent his property to another. It would be an easy matter to prevent him from realizing his property to a white person save at a great cost would be confiscation of his property. And this would be property which Negroes in in blocks where they might be the first residents, provided the majority of the people who afterwards were white. Thus, no matter how hard the might strive to take advantage of the growth and progress to increase his values or to provide a comfortable home in a decent and agreeable locality, he could be certain that he would be permitted to reap the one or other. Be sure progress never travels toward the ghetto we established to get something undesirable out of its war. A STIGMA ON MANHOOD AND VIOLATION OF RIGHT Set apart from the body politic like criminals, lunatic inflicted with contagious diseases, and prostitutes are, for reason than that of his color, the Negro would be stigmatized, disgraced, humiliated, and held in disgusting coalfree the community would naturally be led to look upon him as a different from themselves and whose rights they need not would become indifferent to the injustices heaped upon him. It is not far to see his property destroyed or taken away, his children denied opportunity, and his every right, american citizen would be violated. Separate cars, with little or no accommodation: separate and libraries and the restricted enjoyment of public benefit speedily follow. Such a condition would work untold he would be intolerable. The argument that white people would also be restrained the proposed ordinance breaks down for the reason that and hundreds of years the start of the Negro, they either the best and most desirable property or have the means to whereas, the Negro, if he make progress at all, must that the white man already has. Might as well say a saupers shall not borrow from millionaires and vice versa but the whole idea is un American, un Christian and un moral and should be sat upon by every liberty-loving citizen other argument is needed. Being able to live only in the ghetto, Negroes would be charged exhorbitant prices when buying or renting property. It would be difficult to secure loans on the property because the holder of the notes would not be sure he would not have to dispose of his holdings at a loss in case the debtor defaulted in his payments; and because insurance would be hard to obtain or to collect in case of loss by fire. If a Negro who now owns property in a block where the majority of the people are white, should move out, he would be unable either to move back or to rent his property to another Negro. It would be an easy matter to prevent him from renting or selling his property to a white person save at a great loss. This would be confiscation of his property. And this would be true of property which Negroes own in blocks where they might become the first residents, provided the majority of the people who moved in afterwards were white. Thus, no matter how hard a Negro might strive to take advantage of the growth and progress of the city to increase his values or to provide a comfortable home for his family in a decent and agreeable locality, he could never be certain that he would be permitted to reap the one or enjoy the other. Be sure progress never travels toward the ghetto. They are established to get something undesirable out of its way. A STIGMA ON MANHOOD AND VIOLATION OF RIGHTS. Set apart from the body politic like criminals, lunatics, those afflicted with contagious diseases, and prostitutes are, for no other reason than that of his color, the Negro would be stigmatized, degraded, disgraced, humiliated, and held in disgusting contempt. The community would naturally be led to look upon him as a being different from themselves and whose rights they need not respect. It would become indifferent to the injustices heaped upon him and he would become easy prey for the lawless and for all evil designers. 'Tis not far to see his property destroyed or taken without redress, his children denied opportunity, and his every right as an American citizen would be violated. Separate cars, with little or no accommodation: separate parks and libraries and the restricted enjoyment of public benefits would speedily follow. Such a condition would work untold harm and would be intolerable. The argument that white people would also be restricted by the proposed ordinance breaks down for the reason that, having had hundreds of years the start of the Negro, they either occupy the best and most desirable property or have the means to get it; whereas, the Negro, if he make progress at all, must acquire what the white man already has. Might as well say a law that paupers shall not borrow from millionaires and vice versa is just. But the whole idea is un American, un-Christian and unconstitutional and should be sat upon by, every liberty-loving citizen. No other argument is needed. MUST BE DEFEATED 30,000 names were attached to the initiative petition to beg the segregation ordinance. It is backed by the Unitary Association, and that organization is working nightly to create enough sentiment against the Negro to assurerage when it comes before the people to be voted up board of Aldermen will not pass it; but unless these efforts, the ordinance will pass.

NOTICE Quit Guessing—We Cannot Tell When We Select an Ear From the Wagon-Box as We Unload or From the Crib What Sort of a Stalk It Came From—We Do Not Know Whether the Stalk Was Weak or Strong, Early or Late, in Maturity—The Best Way to Improve the Quality, Maturity and Yield of Our Corn is to Select Ears in the Field—It Will Pay You. tension Department International Harvester Company of New Jersey. If every ear of corn intended for planting was harvested at the proper time and properly stored, millions of dollars would be added to the value of the corn crop. Fig. 1. Harvesting the Seed Corn for Next Year's Planting.—Every ear of corn intended for planting should be harvested before the severe fall freezes, and stored where it will dry out and keep dry. In Iowa and the northern half of Illinois this work should be done the last ten days of September and the first four or five days of October. Frozen seed corn costs the country millions of dollars every year. A Convenient Method of Gathering the Seed as One Passes Between the Rows.—Use an ordinary two-bushel grain sack; a wooden hoop from a nail keg is put in the top of the sack. Some heavy cord, 14 inches long (binding twine doubled several times) is tied to one of the bottom corners of the sack; the other end of the cord is then brought over the shoulder, and tied to the hoop in the top of the sack. The cord is wrapped with an old sack to prevent the string cutting the shoulder. Fig. 2. Tying up the Seed Corn. Putting in the First Ear.—A piece of binding twine is doubled and the ends tied together. Note how the string is held in the hands. Fig. 3.—Showing the String of Corn Completed To Be Hung A man carrying a bag Fig. 1. Up Where It Will Dry Out and Keep Dry.—When the Last Ear is laid in, one end of the string is slipped under the string in the other hand, and fastened. Tie and hang up the seed the same day or evening that it is brought in. This method of tying up allows a free circulation of air: It is circulation of air, not heat, that is needed to dry out the seed. Corn commonly contains at this time from 30 to 45 per cent of water. It requires but a few minutes to tie up 300 or 400 ears. Fig. 4.—Experiments show that the attic or some upstairs room where the windows can be opened to give circulation of air during October and November, is the best place to hang seed corn. A space three by eight feet will hold 200 strings of seed corn like ZIMBABWE Fig. 4. the above, or enough to plant 200 square. Discard three-fourths of it in the spring and there is left sufficient to plant 40 square, or more than average average on each birth. Bring the string in view and inside apart each day. A man carrying a set of metal bells. Fig. 3. One of the very best methods for gathering the seed is to go into the best and earliest planted fields with bags and select well matured ears from the most vigorous stalks. The cut shows a convenient way to arrange a sack so that you may have both hands free for picking. You must not fail to consider the stalk in selecting your seed, for it takes large, thrifty stalks to produce good big ears. It is not a good plan to take the ear from a stalk that grew in a hill by itself' or from one in the hill with a barren or weal stalk. Many of the kernels on such an ear are likely to be pollenized by the barren or weak stalk. Choose Ears of a Medium Height.—If you select the highest ears your corn will gradually become late, and if you select the lowest ears you will soon have an early corn with shallow Fig. 4. kernels and wide furrows between the rows. Pick cars that droop over so that their tips are turned downward. Such cars shed water better when it rains and are usually drier than cars standing upright. The shank should be short, as cars with long shanks are harder to husk, and are more often damaged. See that the husks are long enough to cover the tip of the car, but do not extend far beyond. If the tip is left bare, it is likely to be damaged by insects or disease, and if the husks extend far beyond the point of the car they are usually tightly closed, so that it cannot dry out well and is difficult to husk. There should be a medium growth of brood, thrifty leaves distributed evenly over the stalk, and the plant should be free from all, form of disease, such as smut, rust, etc., and should be free from suckers. The advantages of this method of storing are first, that it gives better protection from mice than when it is spread on the floor, or corded in piles or put in racks. Second, it gives better circulation of air, which allows the corn to dry out quickly and thoroughly, then protecting it from molding or sprouting and from being frozen while it is sappy. The greatest enemy to good seed corn is frozing while it still contains moisture, consequently there is more danger from late harvesting than from too early harvesting. However, it is not a good plan to harvest seed while the corn is immature, as it is more difficult to preserve, will be clearly and give weaker plants than corn which has been allowed to fully mature on the soil.

IDEAS THAT MAY BE OF VALUE TO THE HOUSEWIFE. How the ideal Custard Should Be Made—Mayennaise With Just the Right Flavor—Best Way to Serve Cucumbers. The best custards ever made have not been baked on the oven flavor. The tried-and-true method to make the delicious custard is one quart of fresh milk scalded in a double boiler. No more nor less than four eggs beaten and stirred into one cup of granulated sugar. Always lemon extract with a pinch of nutmeg for the delicate custard. It kills the egg flavor. Now, here is your secret, place it in a pan of boiling water in the oven, cover your baking dish, bake it just one-half hour in a warm but not too hot oven. Insert a silver knife in the middle of the custard. If it comes out clean, the custard is done, otherwise the ingredients stick to the knife. Of all the professional secrets hardest to obtain for the delicious mayonnaise this was the hardest. That unmistakable "tang," the tasty snap, though hidden with other condiments was found to be nothing else but cucumber. No, you could not taste it, for it was blended with the mayonnaise. The cucumber is grated for the purpose. Then, think of it, the vinegar used. Ordinary vinegar? Yes, but prepared with brown sugar, boiled with spices and churned into a white foam with one-half its bulk of olive oil. For potato salad this mayonnaise, mixed with the cucumber and hard-boiled eggs is, really, one of the finest flavored salad dressings known to the chefs who dislike to make known their professional secrets. Have you seen the cucumber sliced, but in half and decorated with slices of red radish? Very pretty. Score the rounded sides of the cucumber into one-eighth inch sections, but do not cut through the cucumber. Place the flat or cut side of the cucumber on the dish, slice the red radishes, leaving on the red rim. Insert these slices of radishes between the slices of cucumber, alternating the red and white; garnish with parsley, small pickles, small flecks of beet, and serve with salad dressing. A delicious luncheon dish is known as "Devils on Horseback." Plump cardines are used. Each has a little blanket of bacon pinned around his "tummy tum tum" and all is fried in deep fat and served on buttered toast. Don't Lose the Pie Juice. Don't Lose the Pie Juice. To keep the juice in the pie, instead of using the cloth strips, which spoils the edge of the pie anyway, have the bottom crust larger than the pan. Cut the apples into sections. Before putting them in, cover the bottom of the pastry with half the sugar. One cupful of sugar to a good-sized pie will not be too much if the apples are sour. Lay sections of apples all around the edge. Then fill in the middle. Add the rest of the sugar. Roll out the top crust to fit and lay on. Wet the edge all around and turn up over the top crust the surplus of the under crust. Press down with the fingers, then mark all around with a fork. Make a hole in the top of the pie and wet all over with cold water. The oven should be fairly hot for the first 15 or 20 minutes. Then the heat may be reduced so that the apples may cook thoroughly. It will take about 40 minutes to bake a good-sized pie. Marshmallow Pudding Take two dozen marshmallow drops—stale or fresh—and put them in the bottom of a baking dish. Pour over rich cocoa, made as for breakfast except for a thickening of cornstarch; put the dish on the stove and bake for half an hour. Then take it out, add a meringue and brown this. Serve cold. The cooking melts the marshmallow, which give the cocoa pudding a moist delectable taste. Indian Huckleberry Pudding Boll one quart of milk, remove from the stove and stir into it a small cupful of Indian meal. When cool add two well-beaten eggs, two tablespoonfuls of finally-chopped suet, one tablespoonful of molasses, a pinch of salt and one quart of huckleberries. Fill a mold two thirds full and steam three hours. I use a five-pound lard pail. Use any sauce you care to make—Exchange. Brown Betty. Put a layer of white bread crumbs in a baking dish and then a layer of sliced cooking apples, and so on until the dish is almost full. Sprinkle each layer of apples with sugar and a little spice, if the taste is liked, and also mix small nuts of butter through the layers, being sure to have some of the seasoning on top of the dish. Bake a light brown. Buffernut Fruit Cake. Two eggs, one cupful brown sugar, one cupful sour cream, two tablespoonful molasses, one-fourth cupful butter, one cupful chopped raisins, one cupful chopped butternuts, one-half pound citron, cut very fine, 2½ cupful sour, one teaspoonful soda, one teaspoonful each cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. Mashed Potatoes With Onions To four or five cupfuls mashed potato add one cupful boiled onions mixed to a pulp, one tablespoonful butter, one tablespoonful milk, some salt and pepper. Beat lightly together and before serving browns the top for a moment in the oven. Manicuring Facial Massage Do You Believe in Safety First in Hair Culture ?

Mosiacs Offer Best Inducements TEN REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD JOIN THE MOSAICS (1) From its incipiency until the present, it is the product of Negro brains. (2) It is one of the few orders that will stand the 1917 test. (3) It is the most liberal order in the state (giving you $400 worth of protection). (4) It is the most economical to its policy holders ($400 worth of protection costing you $9.55 a year, including all taxes and assessments). (5) It not only buries its dead, it also looks after its sick members (it pays from $2.50 to $3.00 in case of sickness). (6) Its membership now is 75.000. Its assets $207,000.00. (7) It is the only order in the state that will issue a woman three hundred dollars' worth of protection. (8) It is the only order that places a monument at the head of every deceased member. (9) It is the only order that has not increased its endowment tax per capita during the year 1915. (10) Your policies are protected by a state license.

NEXT WEEK A musical comedy-drama with the scene laid in Mexico will be presented by the Russell-Owens Company, at the Booker Washington Theater next week. The story of the play is most interesting. Madge, an American girl, from El Paso, Texas, goes to Mexico and becomes the rival of Spanolo Rose, a Spanish senorita for her lover's hand. After a romantic contest the rivals come to a sword combat and the Spanish girl is killed. The scene de- ATHLETICS AND AMUSEMENTS By H. T. M. THEATRES RUSSELL-OWENS COMPANY PRESENT ANOTHER GOOD SHOW "The Dope Fiend's Dream," at the Booker Washington Theater This Week a Realistic Comedy- Drama of Life in a Chinese Opium Den The show at the Booker Washington Theater this week is well up to the reputation established by the Russell-Owens Company last week. The bill is in two parts. The first is an olio of vaudeville numbers opening with a drill by six members of the company. This is followed by some eccentric dancing by Tomnie Parker that almost stops the show. Parker, as "Dr. Killemquick," goes on to his office and there the fun begins. The cause is an operation performed by the doctor and his assistant (Owens) on Russell, the patient. The tactics used keep the audience in a spasm of laughter as the operators extract first a halfhead of cabbage, then a loaf of bread and finally a live fowl. The next number is almost as ludicrous. It opens with the Freemans in a song and dance. After he agrees to take her to a ball, he goes home to dress, but decides to loan his full-dress suit to his bosom friend, Russell. Finding that Russell has turned traitor by stealing his girl, he disrobes Russell on the street, and sends him on without hat, coat or shoes. The Langster Brothers close the first part with one vocal and two saxophone duets and score a hit. "The Dope Fiend's Dream" occupies the second part. This is in three scenes and opens in a Chinese opium den, where five bunks to accommodate the inmates can be seen. After a chorus of five Chinese girls sing "Chinatown," the real plot begins. Miss Nina Mitchell plays the title role. As the dope fiend she becomes dejected because of the faithlessness of her lover (Silk Bates) and decides to "Get my habits on" by hitting the pipe. As she sleeps, this is her dream: A green country maid (Miss Mack) and her father (Owens) come to New York. The girl falls into the hands of the Chinese Den Keeper (Russell) and is lured into the place. Here she is about to fall a victim of Bates when Miss Mitchell interferes and swears to protect the girl with her life. This precipitates a fight and the cries of the girl attract her father, who arrives just in time and makes good use of his revolver. The horror of the dream causes the dope fiend to scream, this brings all the inmates who awake her and she tells the story. Freeman. Owens and Parker furnish the comedy and the act is full of some tuneful song numbers. Three lady members have been added to the company. Vena Martin-Downing, the St. Louis actress, was called home from Chicago last week on account of the death of her father. She returned Wednesday to rejoin her husband in "The Rajah's" act.

The first part will be an original musical farce-comedy, presented by the entire company, entitled "What Billy Owens Saw Through the Fence at Kentucky Park," written by Bob Russell and Billy Owens. The entire show next week, bids fair to be the best of this company's three productions. BASEBALL ED. BROCK LINES UP ALL STARS TO BEAT GIANTS SUNDAY Can a white team be gotten together in St. Louis that will beat Charlie Mills' famous Giants? That's the rub that has agitated baseball promoters all summer. Ed. Brock, manager of the Alphen Braus, thinks he has solved the problem. He has lined up: "Lefty" Leifield, pitcher of St. Paul; Johnny Tobin, of the St. Louis Federals; Jule Ens, of the Texas League; Outfielder Ray O'Brien, of the Three-1 League and others. Liefield will start the game and Alberts, who held the Giants to 3 runs September 26, will be held in reserve. The game will be played tomorrow (Sunday, October 10), at Brock's Park, 3600 South Broadway, at 3 p.m. Go early as there is no doubt about the park being filled to capacity. The Giants easily beat the Wabadás at Christian Brothers Campus, last Sunday, 10 to 3. Some sensational playing by Lyons, Hewett and McAdoo kept more than 5,000 spectators interested until the last man was out. The Giants ran the bases like wild, executing double steals and squeezes at will. Hewett made a sensational catch while lying on his back on top of a bunch of spectators in right field. --- "String Beans" Williams, the St. Louis Giants' star pitcher, has won 22 out of 26 games. "Beans" is a much sought for slat artist, by club owners, for 1916, but says he is already signed up, and there is no use bothering him. It's a safe guess he will be with St. Louis, if we have a team. SUMNER HIGH NOTES The Boys' Debating Club had a very interesting program last Thursday evening, of impromptu addresses, declamations and orations. The club meets every Thursday evening. J. Lyle Caston will represent the club on Y. M. C. A. program October 12. The Summer football team is rounding to. Another great year is in progress. Coach Giles is elated over his prospects. The preliminary points are being mastered. Although several of the candidates have been eliminated, more than enough remain for two machines: Wednesday's practice showed that the boys are tackling well. Yaeger, a recruit, has about made good at center; Hutchinson and Lawson are having a battle royal for left halfback; Greene is showing old time form and Davenport bids fair to fill Thompson's shoes at end. The old players who are lost to the team are Bailey, Harris, Thompson, Peterson, Staten and Guaren. "Sumner boys are brave and bold, Sumner girls are true as gold."

Don't Select Your Seed Corn From the Crib—You Can't Tell What You Are Getting. WE MUST STUDY THE STALK When You Gather Seed Corn, Study the Root System, Foliage, Stalk, Husk and Tassel—Pick Ears of Medium Hight on Stalk With Short Shank. By P. G. HOLDEN, Agricultural Extension Department International Harvester Company of N. J. The character of the stalk should be taken into consideration in selecting the seed. There are almost as many things to be considered in connection with the stalk as have been discussed with regard to the ear; though it will be impossible to give to the subject the space it deserves. There are the root system; the character of the foliage, and its distribution on the stalk; the disposition to sucker and to set several ears; the length of the shank, the time of pollenation as compared with silking; susceptibility to disease such as rust, smut and mold; tendency to break over, at the roots, below the ear and above the ear; premature ripening, leaving the ear light and chaffy; the position of the ear on the stalk, high, medium or low; erect or drooping; the way the ear is covered with the husks and the comparative maturity of the different stalks and ears, etc. The great majority of corn raisers do not take these things into consideration. They simply save the occasional good ear throughout the husking season or pick them from the crib at planting time. We must know the stalk upon which the ear grew, whether the stalk was the only one in the hill or one of three stalks. How Is This to Be Done? There is just one practical way to do it, and that is to go into the field in the fall, before the nights are cold enough to injure the vitality of the corn, and select the best ears, provided they come from strong, healthy, desirable stalks. We simply must come to this method of selecting our seed corn. Strong Stalka. The stalk from which an ear is selected should be strong, vigorous and healthy, indicating ability to win in the competition and to overcome unfavorable conditions. We should discriminate against spindling stalks, especially those that are small from the ear to the ground. Particularly should we avoid those stalks which have shown their weakness by breaking over. The ear is likely to rest on the ground and gather moisture and mold. Height of Ear. Select ears from as nearly the same height and position on the stalk as possible. The higher growing ears will tend to make the corn later each year. If we go to the other extreme we will soon get an early, small, slim, flinty ear, with shallow kernels and open furrows between the rows and the yield will be reduced. Drooping or Erect Ears. An ear that droops its nose slightly as the husk begins to turn yellow and open is preferable to one that stands erect, allowing the water to run down under the husks and stand at the butt of the ear, which of course is undesirable. The drooping ears are generally a little earlier than the erect ones. Short Shank-Dealrable. The ear should be set on a short shank close to the stalk. Ears on long shanks are more likely to be broken off and are a nuisance to handle, especially if the corn is cut and shocked. Freedom From Disease. The stalk should be free from disease such as snut, rust, mold, etc. I have seen cases where nearly every stalk coming from a certain ear was affected, and so badly affected that there was not a good ear on any of the 800 stalks. Fellage, its Character and Distribution. A thin, sparse foliage is never desirable. It carries with it nothing but weakness. In the corn belt where the ear is the most valuable part of the plant, we should secure the kind of stalk and foliage which will give the greatest profit in grain. This will not be secured by heavy foliage. The best results will be between the two extremes. Two Ears to the Stalk Net Desirable. Except possibly in the case of flint varieties and the early northern dent varieties, which are grown for the fodder, it will be advisable to select seed from one ear stalks. Covering of the Ear With Husks. A heavy mass of husks on an ear or the projection of the husks beyond the tip of the ear into a tight point and objectionable; they prevent the corn from drying and make it more difficult to husk. The husks should just fairly cover the tip of the ear and should loosen or open at time of ripening, to allow circulation of air in order to dry put the corn.

Strangely fascinating are the words that come from the cultivated lips of this most interesting man whose journey of life has already taken him through all the renowned psychic schools of Egypt, India and Europe. It seems, indeed, as if his knowledge must come from that mysterious world of which we all would know, yet longing, cannot know.
