Rice and Thompson's famous cafe, at 2321 Market Street, has added another laurel to its excellency. It has been rated by the Board of Health as the most sanitary eating place, hotel or cafe, in the city. So consistent are the pure food ideas of the managers, that no healthier or more wholesome viands can come from milady's kitchen. That St. Louisans well appreciate this fact is proven by the many parties and banquets noticed during the past week. Last Saturday, the Informal Danes were entertained, with an elaborate luncheon, by Mrs. W. A. Wilkerson. Wednesday night two large banquets were given: One in honor of Mrs. Dollie Stevens, of Hannibal; and the other given by the Nonpareil Club, in honor of the Symposium Club. The Grill is the prepared to give strictly private service to parties, where the popular pastimes of dancing and cards can be enjoyed. COL. B. E. WATKINS It has just been reported that Col. B. E. Watkins has purchased the barber shop and pool room at 3149 Laclede Avenue, which was formerly owned by Sam Andrews. When seen by an Argus reporter, Col. Watkins admitted that the deal had been closed and stated that it was his intention to have extensive repairing and decorating done, and when finished, he will have one of the finest tonsorial parlors in the city. In addition to the regular hot and cold baths, manicuring with a lady in charge will be a special feature. Col. Watkins is well known among the business, social and fraternal set of this city. Being Colonel of the Uniform Rank of the Knights of Pythian of Mo., he has been active in promoting business enterprises of the city, and has taken a leading part in social and fraternal affairs.

LOUIS, MO., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1915. REV. W. S. BROOKS RETURNS TO SAINT PAUL A. M. E. CHURCH Anti-Segregation House To House Canvas Begins Nov. 5 Rev. W. Sampson Brooks has been returned to the St. Paul A. M. E. Church to serve another year. During the four years Rev Brooks has been pastor of this memorable church he has been instrumental in lifting the greatest burden, the church debt from the shoulders of its struggling members. Appreciative of his great work, and in welcome to his return, the members have drafted the following resolutions at a church meeting last Tuesday night. We, the officers and members of St. Paul A. M. E. Church, feel very fortunate in the re-appointment of Rev. W. Sampson Brooks, our beloved pastor, to serve us for another year. The citizens of St. Louis are also to be congratulated in having this eminent divine among them, one who has spent the past four years in unselfish laboring among us for the betterment of our people, and the good work done by him in raising and clearing this church of its The activities of the committee in charge of the fight against segregation are steadily increasing each day. Thousands of letters and circulars have been sent out and solicitors are at work among the people. Large amounts of literature, pointing out the evils which will follow the passage and enforcement of such a law, are being distributed all over the city and the question of segregation is on every tongue. House to House Canvase Friday, November 5, will be Canvassing Day with the Anti-segregation Committee. The city has been divided into districts and a house to house canvass will be made in each block. Literature will be distributed and funds solicited and collected, by authorized persons. Each collector will be authorized by a written document, signed by the president and secretary of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and the chairman of the Finance Committee. The following are the names which will authorize the collectors, Gustavus Tuckerman, Helen A. Smith and Dr. T. A. Curtis. The people are warned not to contribute to any one who does not possess one of these credentials. The district to be canvassed is bounded on the east by Jefferson Avenue, west by Grand Avenue, south by Chouteau Avenue, and north by St. Louis Avenue. Every Negro home in this entire district will be entered on the 5th. Fifty men and women have been selected to take the blocks in their own' neighborhoods and go among their neighbors, acquaintances and friends and distribute literature, solicit and collect funds and talk OPEN LETTER TO THE PUBLIC By W. C. Gordon To the Public: In view of the fact that some St. Louis undertakers are using methods in securing business that has caused the profession in general to be severely criticised, I deem it necessary at this time to give my views, and state my position in the matter. The undertaker's profession is one of the most sacred followed by man, for the reason that it calls him to the homes of bereaved persons at an hour when none but members of the family and personal friends are admitted, hence his dealings with the relatives of deceased persons should be of a sacred and confidential nature. From personal knowledge and first-hand information, I regret to say that there are some undertakers who have solicitors, or to use a common phrase, "body snatchers," who are offered five dollars or more for each case they secure. This practice has become so general, that in some sections of the city, rival solicitors vie with each other in keeping watch over sick persons, waiting for the first signs of death. This is a disgrace to humanity, and a blot upon the undertaking profession that should, and must be condemned by every first-class undertaker, and the good citizens. I have heard of other cases where certain undertakers are notified from the City Hospital and Morgue, of the death of an unfortunate before the family and friends are notified, or the news appears in the public press. The most recent case of unprofessional conduct on the part of an undertaker that has come to my attention, is that of a young lady who was killed by an automobile truck. In this case the undertaker called at the house before the police could notify the aged mother, and in the mortgage debt. We feel that it is our most solemn duty to express at this time to him and to the Bishop, Rt. Rev. H. Blanton Parks, our sincere appreciation of his work and the thoughtfulness of the good Bishop of his deep interest in the appointment. The most remarkable thing accomplished by Rev. Brooks was in organizing the forces of this church and raising during the first twelve months of his pastorate the above sum, thus entitling him to be crowned the "Western King of Finance," as no other minister in a colored church in the world ever accomplished such a thing. We feel that such work should be made known to the world, that others may be inspired and encouraged in their work of lifting the race. Be it therefore resolved, That a copy of this resolution be given to Rev. W. Sampson Brooks, a copy furnished Bishop Parks and a copy furnished to the press. about the segregation question. In this way it is hoped to arouse every Negro in the city to the necessity of fighting segregation at every turn. The other Negro districts of the city will be treated in the same way. Headquarters Opened The campaign committee has secured headquarters in the Pythian Temple, 3137 Pine St. It will be opened by the start of the week and with someone in charge, and literature and instructions for the people. This will mark the beginning of vigorous work, according to the committee. Miss Nerney at Central Miss May Childs Nersey, Secretary of the National Association, will be in the city on the 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th of November. A busy program has been arranged for her, and the will address several meetings while here. On the 6th she will meet the members of the branch at 8 o'clock p.m. at the Central Library, 15th and Olive Streets. Every member will be present to greet her, according to the committee. The big public meeting will be at Central Baptist Church, on Tuesday evening, November 9, at 8 o'clock. The committee states that the house will be packed, and those desiring seats will do well to come early. Besides these meetings Miss Nersey will address a meeting of white sympathizers at the Sheldon Memorial Building on Tuesday evening, November 8. Miss Nersey is quite as well known in Association circles as is Prof. Spingarn. She is a forceful speaker, a graduate of Cornell University and one of the few white women in the country working heart and soul for the betterment of the Negro. most cold blooded manner told her that her daughter was dead and at the morgue, that he was an undertaker and would take charge of the body if she would sign the order. The poor old lady was so shocked that she scarcely realized what the man was saying, but fortunately an old friend of the family and a neighbor were present, and ordered the man from the house. The public should know that when an undertaker offers five, or any other number of dollars to persons to act as his agents, that he will certainly make the bereaved family pay for it in his bill, and every person acting as an agent or "body snatcher" who receives that kind of money, are taking bread from the mouths of widows and orphans in their bereavement. Conduct of this kind deserves the most severe condemnation from both the public and the profession, and all honorable undertakers who regard their relations with their patrons as sacred and confidential as those of a physician, should join the general public in denouncing the practices above referred to. In the conduct of my business, I have always endeavored to act honorable and upright in all my dealings, and I would not keep any person in my employ whom I knew to be guilty of such disgusting conduct. The good citizens can do much toward putting a stop to these practices, by making public every offer of a fee to watch for the death of a neighbor. An undertaker should have the most kindly consideration for the feelings of the bereaved, and if his heart and conscience cannot keep him in the path of honorable undertaking methods, he should quit the professions and enter the business of a junk dealer, where heart and soul does not count. I am not writing this for any selfish reason, but for the honor and good of the profession. Very respectfully, W. C. Gordon.

WALKER HON- ORED GUEST OF, CALIFORNIA SOCIETY. HOUSE WARMING OF $50,000 MANSION BIG EVENT OF THE SOCIAL CALENDAR NEXT YEAR Never before has any woman attained greater success and been more royally entertained than Madame C. J. Walker, the noted hair cultist of Indianapolis, Indiana, who has been in the far west for more than two months and is now on her return and will reach St. Louis soon, where she will give several lectures. Madam is combining business with pleasure and although her presence is much in demand at social functions she is doing a wonderful business, establishing branch offices, and giving much inspiration to the people everywhere. Her audiences are very enthusiastic and many have taken hope and resolved to start to win success after having heard Madam Walker's lecture. M. Madam Walker is accompanied on this trip by her granddaughter, Miss May Robinson, of New York, and while in California opened a large branch office there and has placed in charge of this branch her nieces, Misses Breedlove formerly of Denver, Colo. In addition to placing this business under their management, Madam Walker has given them a beautiful bungalow for their California residence. Madam Walker is president of the Walker Manufacturing Co., and Lelia college, of Indianapolis, Indiana, and is the foremost Negro business woman in the country. Ten years ago she started with one dollar and fifty cents capital and today she is worth over one hundred thousand dollars in real estate alone. She has purchased the estate of the late Bishop Derrick, of Flushing, Long Island, and has plans drawn by a Colored architect for a thirty thousand dollar mansion which she will soon erect for her future home. The opening of this home promises to be one of the most unique house-warmings ever given anywhere. Guests from north, east, south and west will assemble to offer congratulations to this queen of the business world. Plans are now being laid for this event and Madam Walker will be assisted in receiving her guests by some of the leading women of the race on this occasion. She is not only working for her self, but she is imbued with the spirit of "Lifting as she climbs," by helping the less fortunate to get a glimpse of light and cheer. The poverty-stricken are always relieved by this good woman, who takes delight in making others happy. She is an unselfish character, believing that there is a round on the ladder of success for any deserving and persevering person. She is the first woman of the race to give one thousand dollars to help a Negro institution, the Y. M. C. A., of Indianapolis, being the recipient of her benevolence. Madam Walker is also establishing an industrial school in Africa and is educating three boys and two girls at Tuskegee Institute for work in the foreign country. Her influence for good is felt in many places, as she teaches others how to become independent by working for themselves. The race feels justly proud of Madam Walker and the appreciation of her worth was shown, when the National Association of Colored Women, in bi-ennial session at Wilberforce, O. unanimously indorsed her work, as likewise did the National Negro Business League. Long live Madam C. J. Walker to continue in her highly useful career. A. GROWING SCHOOL The cooking and sewing classes are especially attractive. Pupils may join this school at any time.

INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (BY E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of the Bunday School Course, the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) LESSON FOR OCTOBER 31 THE BOY JOASH CROWNED KING. LESSON TEXT-II Kings 11:4-12 GOLDEN TEXT-The house of the wicked shall be overthrown; but the tent of the upright shall flourish—Prov. 14 11, R. V. This is a great and most intensely interesting boy's story. For thirty years two great heroes, Elijah and Elisha, fought against Baal. They stood up against kings and people, and fought for pure morals as the champions of Jehovah. Jehohaphat, a good man, allowed his son to marry Jezebel's daughter and the nation reaped the results. The son of this union religed over Judah but one year and was slain by Jehu, the destroyer of Ahab's dynasty. Athaliah, as dowager queen regent ruled for six years (See 2 Chron. 22). General Jehu wrought in the northern kingdom hence the temporary escape of this child of Jezebel, the cursed queen. 1. Concealment, vv. 1-3. Jehosheba, the wife of Jeholada, the high priest in charge of the temple, is thought to be the daughter of Joram by another wife than Athallah. She was the agent in God's hands of saving the boy's life and of the final extinguishment of the seed of Ahab. Jehosheba, as daughter of one king, sister of another and high priest's wife, was familiar with every nook and corner of the temple, and "so a woman's ruthlessness was out witted by a woman's cunning."—Farrar. Thus God saved the seed of David according to his Word (Psalms 89: 3, 4). II. Conspiracy, vv. 4-8. Athaliah's bloody reign is one of the darkest pages in the history of Judah. She murdered not her own children but her grandchildren to gain, or rather to continue, her rule, for as her son's counselor she was the real ruler of the nation (II Kings 8:26, 27; II Chron. 22:3, 4). God had made a promise (ch. 8:19; Isa. 7:6; Jer. 33:17-26) and that promise must be fulfilled, for no evil can thwart his will. Athaliah is a terrible example of unrestrained heredity. We have here the results of an unholy alliance. This is also an appalling example of the fruit of selfish ambition: (a) upon the nation; (b) on the family; (c) on the individual. As against this picture we see a consecrated woman, a devoted home and the teaching of a pious priest, the final outcome of which was the throw of evil. This priest and his wife took certain other traits Joash inherited from his vile ancestors, such as courage, energy, skill and perseverance, and, training them under right and pious environment, turned them to the blessing of the nation. The early formative period of this boy's life was thus spent in such a way as to result in continuous blessing throughout his reign (12:1, 2). III. Crowning, vv. 9-12 (to v. 16). It was a great service the priest and his wife rendered to Judah to save and to train a child. So likewise we are privileged, and those who are truly saved and rightly trained will also ultimately be crowned (II Tim. 4:8; I Peter 5:14; Rev. 2:10). There are two accounts of the coronation ceremonies (see also II Chron. 22:10-23:21); they differ but do not conflict. The five captains and 500 bodyguards wrought a great work on that Sabbath day. Every man in the conspiracy did exactly as told. Joasin is brought out at the exact moment. So also will our king appear at God's appointed time. The law is placed in his hands (v. 12, Ex 25:16; Ps. 78:5; Isa. 8:16, 20). This controversies those who would have us believe the law was not written until Joash reigned. Aside from the law which was placed in his hands a crown was placed on his head and there was also the customary shouting and clapping of hands and cries of "God save the king" (Am. R. V.) which accompany such occa IV. Conclusion. (1) Our Young Kings (and Queens). For everyone of our boys and girls there is awaiting a kingdom. Each is surrounded by dangers even as Joash. Their only safety is in God, in the love and power of his holy spirit, the knowledge of his word, the care and culture of his church, the guidance and influence of homes which belong to him. (2) The Bible and the Coronation The chief and most important part of the coronation was to place the word of God in the young king's hand. They word have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against thee. It is the royal law, life, lovely oracles, food light and wisdom for king and subject alike. (3) The Anointed King. Symbolically Joash received the holy spirit that he might know now and have power to live' and govern by the law just placed in his hands. (I Sam. 10:16; 16:13; Acts 4:27; Heb. 1:9). Such anointed ones are kings and queens and their lives are a benediction to all the world. (4) The Eclipse of Evil. The one who was most guilty, who took the sword, that she might rule was the first, so cry treason. Her cry could not any longer hold back the purposes of God and she miserably punished. Leaming to Pray By REV. HOWARD W. POPE Superintendent of Man, Monroe Mills Institute of Chicago TEXT—Lord, teach us to pray.—Luke 11:1. The disciples chanced one day to overhear the master's private devo- tions. So impressive was the scene, that when he ceased, they came to him, saying, "Lord, teach us to pray." Without a moment's hesitation apparently, he gave them, first, what we might call "The Model Prayer," secondly, a striking illustration of the value of intercessory prayer, and thirdly, some A. B. teaching concerning the chief object of prayer, which is the holy spirit. Indeed, this eleventh chapter of Luke is the most comprehensive teaching on the subject of prayer that the Bible contains. And where is the great teacher now? Seated at the right hand of God, where "He ever liveth to make intercession for us." And could our spirit-cars be opened, we hear him as he pleads for us and for the lost world, I am sure our hearts would grow tender, and our eyes moist, and with trembling lips we too should say, "Lord, teach us how to pray." We remember how Abraham prayed Lot out of Sodom, and Nehemiah prayed himself into the good, graces of the king, and Elijah shut up the heavens for three years, and the friends of Peter prayed him out of prison; and all these were men of like passions with ourselves. Lord, teach us to pray. Yes, to "pray." We can recall many utterances which passed for prayer, but which we fear the master would not recognize as such—selfish prayers, thoughtless prayers, which had no aim or purpose, prayers from which we did not expect an answer, did not look for an answer, and would have been mightily surprised if an answer had come. And all of these have gone up to the mercy-seat with our names upon them, and there they lie in the archives of heaven unanswered, because unanswerable. Oh, friends, it is one thing to make a prayer, it is quite another thing to pray. Lord, teach us how to pray. How suggestive that phrase is, "Make a prayer!" As if a prayer could be made to order, whether there was any occasion for it or not! But to pray, to really talk with God, and bring things to pass, that is a privilege which angels might covet, and an art which is worthy of a lifetime of study. The Chinese write their prayers on bits of paper and throw them into the air, hoping that they may be blown up to heaven. The Hindus have praying machines, and express their devotion by turning a crank. The followers of Mohammed five times a day fall upon their knees wherever they are at the hour of prayer, and call upon God. How much we need to be taught! How often we ask for things which it were better for us not to have, while the things we need most are seldom mentioned. Paul was right when he said, "We know not what to pray for as we ought." How little we realize the willingness of God to answer prayer! Too often he is addressed as a capricious tyrant from whom blessing can be obtained only by persistent teasing, instead of a loving father who lives and labors for his children's welfare. How little we perceive the scope of the promises! We see the surface meanings, perhaps, but the depths—Oh, the depths! How little we understand the deep things of God! How little we understand the relation of prayer to Christian work. The common idea is that work is the main business of a Christian, and a little prayer is necessary to help the work along. Work is the strong bow which supplies the force to speed the arrow on its way, while prayer is the feather which tips the arrow, and helps guide it to its destined mark. Christ's idea is entirely different. In his conception prayer is the chief business of a Christian, with just enough work to make a channel through which the spiritual forces generated by prayer may find an outlist. Prayer is the bow which supplies the force, and work is the feather which guides the arrow towards its destination. "If ye shall ask—I will do," he says. In other words, Christ is still doing the work which he "began to do" (Acts 1:1), and he invites us to help him by prayer. Yes, we are ignorant, but thank God we can all learn. Jesus has opened a school of prayer in which, if we will, we may learn the divine art. And what a teacher! How patient, how longsuffering with dull scholars! And how much he knows about the subject! For eighteen hundred years this has been his constant occupation, and now he invites us to become his pupils, and offers to teach us all he knows. "All things that I have heard from my father, I have made known unto you."

What am I doing to help defeat the segregation movement ir St.§Louis? This is the proper question for everyone to ask him- self. A well meaning citizen asked the Argua this week, “Why don't you people get busy on segregation, spread it out on the highways and byways, and not expect everybody to come to the churches to hear it discussed,” The answer is simple. ‘It takes money to conduct a campaign. The churches have opened their doors for mass meetings. This about covers the appropriation to combat the pending evil. The National Association for the Ad- vancement of Colored People is active; holding meetings where freely welcomed and sending out thousands of letters. The de- plorable fact is, thousands of citizens are depending upon some one else to carry on the fight. Yet all are effectedyutikez, The question is not, what is the other fellow ‘doing, but what are yon doing yourself? It’s your business, your interest and the future of your own family are at stake. Individuality is the strongest trump in this fight, Every person, opposed ‘to segrega- tion is a member of the committee fighting this un-American and unconstitutional idea. If the fight is lost, it will be your fault if you have failed todo your part. Segregation means yoa, anti. segregation is upto you, | Get busy and quit dodging behind some one else. JOHN HOCKLEY SMILEY. In the death of John Smiley, associate editor of the Chicago Defender, the Negro press sustains a great loss. Not only did his ability as a writer and head-line man contribute much to Negro journalism, but the dignity that he put in his work as a newspaper man added much to the profession. - N. N.B. L. HITS NAIL ON HEAD. Letter No. 4} sent out by the National Negro Business League a short time ago, met a hearty response from most of the news- papers devoted to the interest of the race. The significance of the letter was the fact that the Negro press has proven itself a most powerful factor for good in the com- munity and that the Negro merchant who fails to take advantage of the advertising space to‘help build his own business is in his own light. We congratulate the League on the letter, for the truths contained therein were too true and complete, ‘ requiring no further comment. .

We congratulate the League on the letter, for the truths contained therein were too true and complete, ‘requiring no further comment. . LET’S HAVE FAIR PLAY. The practice of the leaders of the Republican party in Missouri of shutting the Negro out of party councils has riled that clement until it is protesting loudly. The party leaders have been yiven-tc understand that ‘the Negro is tired of having pre-arranged slates rammed down his throat. He is sictgt alternateships and flunky positions where he can be of no use e ornamental. What the _Negro wants is real bona fide participation in the councils, work and rewards of victory that concern his party. This much he is entitled to, and nothing else will satisfy him. - The Negroes of Missouri want a delegate at large to the next National Convention. They also desire one delegate each~from the 5th, 7th and 12th congressional districts. They are willing te have their share of responsibility and work checked up to them and demand a just share of.the rewards of victory. Several rep: resentative places should be given them. in city, state or national government. The party will find fair treatment of the Negro s paying investment. Y A.U.'K. & D. OP A.

SATURDAY, OCT. 30 "When Broadway Was a Trail" IN 5 PARTS A Picture adopted from the famous play by that name. A master piece in dramatic art. A historical review of the early days of American citizens. The Above Productions are For the First Time for the Pr ADMISSION ATHLETICS AND AMUSEMENTS By H. T.-M. THEATRES THEATRES THE "BLUES" DOMINATE THE BOOKER WASHINGTON SHOW The entire atmosphere of the Booker Washington Theater, this week is impregnated with the "Blues." From the time Miss Laura Smith enters in the first act until "String Beans" makes his first exit, the "blues" reign supreme. If there is a variety of this mournful tune that is not on display, it has not been "brought out" yet. One thing cannot be denied, there is a colony of admirers of "The Blues" in St. Louis sufficiently large enough to pack the Booker Washington Theatre every night and the patrons are having a hilarious time. Miss Laura Smith opens the show with three song numbers, all in the lighter vein, and garnished with their characteristic gesticulations. She is carrying the house by storm. Johnnie Woods and his famous manikin, "Little Henry," are with us again. This pair bring us some new comedy, interlaced with the brightest lines of the old. As usual, their melange of humor is making a big hit. Little Henry is still addicted to the gin habit and gets in bad on account of his indulgence. The act is as popular as ever. String Beans and Sweetie May are presenting the typical "Beans" comedy with a little variation and keep the house in an uproar throughout the act. Beans performs on the piano, executes his eccentric steps and actions and lives up to his reputation. Miss May has improved in health and is displaying an art quite superior to that in her previous visit here. AT THE PEOPLE'S THEATER The People's Theater, at 2822 Easton, is filling a long felt want, showing pictures and vaudeville for 5 cents. The pictures equal the best shown in 5 cent houses. The vaudeville acts are pleasing the patrons and drawing crowded houses nightly. The cast of characters this week consists of Green and Stewart, Dan Hawkins, Clifton Smith and Andrew Hopkins, Beatrice West, Dorothy Burton. An olio of specialties is followed by an afterpiece changed nightly. Miss Marian Fitzhugh presides at the piano and Charles Whitler handles the drums. A big feature Saturday (tonight) will be the country store. A special vaudeville bill will be presented Sunday night and the Argus readers can see the show free Monday night by cutting out the following coupon and presenting it at the door. ```markdown ``` Free CUT OUT THIS TICKET and present it at the People's Theatre 2824 Easton Avenue MONDAY, NOVEMBER 1 and receive one admission FREE MOVIE THEATER Special features of high quality have being secured for the Movie Theater commencing Saturday, October 30.

BASEBALL GIANTS TO TACKLE EAST SIDE STARS AGAIN SUNDAY The St. Louis Giants will play the all-star team in East St. Louis again Sunday. Dale, the Cincinnati pitcher, will try once more to subdue Charlie Milla's champions. The game will be played at Polo Park at 3 p. m. Last Sunday's game resulted in a tie, 1 to 1, called in the ninth inning on account of darkness. The big leaguers succeeded in gathering only 3 hits off Smith's delivery. The beautiful little Bungalow annex to the Keystone Cafe, at Compton and Lawton, is nearing completion, and will be ready for the grand opening Monday. Those who attend this event will no doubt be surprised at the wonderful transformation of Charlie Mills's popular place. With the addition of the bungalow this cafe will be one of the most beautiful in the country. "Speck 15" has been the regular entertainer in the rafe. Miss Daisy Collins, of Louisville, will arrive Sunday morning and will be on the program at the bungalow opening Monday night. CARNATION CAFE Messrs. Dix and Hawkins spared no pains in making Thursday night, October 21, which was "Clarkaville Night" at the Carnation Cafe, one of the greatest of the season. A delicious lunch was served and the southern merry-makers spent a lovely evening. Miss Begley McOgden and Ola Morrison, Landfall Veneried music in the early part of the evening; later they were joined by the Glenshawville, Quarantae, headed by Mr. Wm. Wathey, which sang the mostest songa. Everyonoways highly pleased and complimented the place, and the way things were conducted. SUMMER WINE Sumner High School opened the season with a great victory over Lincoln High School in the first of their scheduled football games of the year. This game was a test of the "new team" that Coach Giles has brought to the front. We doff our hats to him as one of the best coaches in the business-today. Sumner's greatest work was shown on the defense. The tackling was hard and long and Lincoln could not even make the first down. Our offensive work can be improved upon and this is undergoing an operation this week. When we meet these warriors on November 6 watch out for a large score. Last Saturday only two men could be depended on for steady gains and most of these were made by our open field work. This will be remedied and look out then. Capt. Wesley was one of the greatest heroes of the day, he having scored all three of the touchdowns. On Thanksgiving we will play Lincoln High School, of Kansas City, Mo. The place will be published later. TURNER - GIBSON ELECTRIC CO. ELECTRICAL SUPPLIES, GAS and STEAM FITTING. We wire your house, furnish fixtures and give one year to pay.

Jackson, Mo, October 18, 1915 To the dear readers of the St Louis Argus: To the dear readers of the St Louis Argus: One of our dear friends, Alonzo Miller, who was born in St. Louis, Mo., October 20, 1886 and reared in Jackson, Mo., from the age of three weeks old by Mrs. Margaret McGuire till sixteen. From thence he went to Knoxville College. Also to a summer school in Nashville, Tenn. He returned to his mother and visited his father, Miller, in Paterson, New Jersey. After two years there he went to New York and occupied a position. After ten years away he returns home to Jackson to his dear mother, Margaret McGuire. He brings with him a wife, Mrs. Mary'A. Miller, a New York girl. Now he has bought out a man on Main Street, in Jackson, who ran a restaurant. He has had the place remodeled and it now has been turned into a first class restaurant and chili, and ice cream parlor. Mr. Miller says he anticipates having one of the nicest business places for Colored people in southeast Missouri. Hoping all friends near, or passing through Jackson will call to see him.
