Last Sunday, at St. Paul, long before the hour set for the funeral, 2 p. m., a vast concourse of friends filled the church to its utmost capacity, while many were unable to gain entrance to pay their last tribute of respect to the memory of Allen Fields, who departed this life on November 14, 1915. The funeral was in charge of Excelsior Lodge, No. 3, K. of P. and St. Louis Hope Lodge No. 2117, G. U. O. O. F. Both the juvenile and cadet bands were in attendance and furnished solemn music. The floral tributes were profuse and almost hid the beautiful casket from view. Dr. W. Sampson Brooks preached the funeral sermon and paid an eloquent tribute to his worth as a faithful member and consistent Christian gentleman. Resolutions of respect attesting the high esteem in which he was held were read by the various organizations of which he was a member, including church auxiliaries, the post office employees and lodges. Touching resolutions were offered by Patriarch No. 50, G. U. O. O. F., of which he was excaptain. Mrs. L. D. Moore, of Chicago, Ill., a life-long friend of Mr. Fields, attended the funeral. Many expressions of sympathy and condolence were received by the family. Interment took place, Monday, November 22, at St. Peter's Cemetery.

"Peace be to his ashes. Rest to his weary soul." His favorite songs were, "Father, I Stretch My Hands to Thee," and "I Anchored My Soul in the Haven of Rest." A Friend. LETTER OF CONDOLENCE November 22, 1915. Mr. Dear Mrs. Fiedoull. I have thought of you daily since your husband passed into the "Great Beyond," and have been trying to think of something to write you that would express my sympathy and perhaps, in a feeble way, console you. Only those who have watched by the bedside of their loved ones, administered to their wants, doing all in their power to save them, yet seeing them grow weaker, and weaker until their spirit takes its flight, can really know and truly sympathize with their friends when they have passed through a similar ordeal. I have experienced this, Mrs. Fields, and know what it is. But, then when you can reflect and can say to yourself, "I did what I could," and can also say, "I know he has gone to rest," the consolation that those thoughts bring should be akin to joy and enable you to smile through tears. I need not tell you to "Look' to Jesus," for I am sure the many years you have spent in His service has taught you that he is your "strength," in weakness your "Comforter," in bereavement your "All in all." I shall remember you in my prayers and let me assure you that my husband regrets as deeply as I do the great loss you have sustained in the death of Mr. Fields, and he joins me in extending our deepest sympathy. Yours with much love, Mr. and Mrs. Duke Diggs. Jefferson City, Mo.

MOORLAND, INTERNATIONAL SECRETARY OF THE YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION, WILL BE HEARD AT MONSTER MEETING, AT METROPOLITAN CHURCH, IN INTEREST OF $150,000 CAMPAIGN Dr. J. E. Moorland, International Secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association, is here on the job getting things in readiness for the Y. M. C. A. Building Campaign which begins December 6. Dr. Moorland is one of the oldest men in point of service in the Y. M. C. A. work among colored men, his length of service being only exceeded by Mr. W. A. Hunton. During the last four years a million dollars has been raised for work among colored men and boys. Dr. Moorland has led in every one of these campaigns and it is interesting to know that not a single city has failed to raise the amount needed. It has been the master generalship of Dr. Moorland, said Mr. Jones to an Argus reporter, along with the enthusiasm of the local men that has made the ten campaigns so successful in their respective cities. Dr. Moorland is to speak at the monster mass meeting Sunday afternoon at 3:45 p. m., at Metropolitan Church, corner of Lucas and Garrison Avenues. His subject will be: "The Battle the Strong." This meeting is open to both men and women. At the recent meeting of the Anniversary Club, the coming campaign of the Young Men's Christian Association was the talk of the evening. So enthusiastic were some of the members that they put themselves on record in strong amounts as being in favor of a new building. The Board of Manager's have expressed themselves as being highly gratified at the enthusiasm that this new project is arousing. Bible College Rev. H. Bayne, D. D., of 2322 Morgan, and his students of the Bible College of Divinity enjoyed an excellent program last Monday evening November 22, at First Baptist Church, Webster Groves, rendered by the students of the High School and Normal Departments, who were highly commended for their most excellent work. Misses-Irene Griffin and Mamie Hunter, of Ferguson, Sister Belle F. Woods, St. Louis, and Mrs. Bessie Page, also of St. Louis, took part Rev. Elijah Jarrett Buckner, the pastor of the First Baptist Church, Webster Groves, delivered a special sermon after completing the normal course. Rev. H. Baynes' school is well known as a training center for men and women in the ministerial and missionary work. Those desiring special training should call or write. Terms reasonable. May God's richest blessings rest on all Amen. METROPOLITAN NOTES Preaching at 11 O'clock. Choir Processional at 10:50 Last Sunday morning at 11 o'clock the pastor was heard to say, "The Lord is in his holy temple, let all the earth keep silence before him." After which the choir burst forth singing, "Holy, Holy, Holy" and from that time on until the close of the service the spirit of the Lord seemed to have been almost visible. At 11 o'clock the pastor, Rev. Shaw, it is said preached one of the most powerful sermons that was ever delivered in the Metropolitan Church; he also delivered a soul stirring sermon Sunday evening. Sixteen persons united with the church during the day, the choir was at its best, the music was beautiful. At the close of the Educational Meeting Monday night at Metropolitan, the senior female Bishop, Rev. Mrs. Jennie Howard. Hood, Bishop Rev. Miss Lyda E. Lee Walters; Mrs. Bishop Willette Toles Clinton; Mrs. Bishop Lucy Bledsoe Caldwell; Mrs. Bishop Hannah Skeen Blackwell; Mrs. Bishop Robert Ransom Alstock and Mrs. Bishop Ivy Harris Warner will all appear on the platform and make the announcement for the Mock Conference beginning Tuesday night.

"He smote the rock of National resources and abundant streams of revenue gushed forth; he touched the dead corpse of public credit and it sprung upon its feet." No man did more to build the Constitution of the United States than did Hamilton. He took a prominent part in every debate, and worked indefatigably on all the important committees. His genius, individuality and daring foresight are indelibly stamped upon every clause of our National Law—the law under which Americans are guaranteed for all time Religious, Commercial and Personal Liberty. During Hamilton's lifetime he used his great influence to encourage and protect the brewing industry.

Hussey's popular cafe at 1039 N Whittier St., is the most reliable eating place in the west end. This cafe is famous for its fish and oyster service, quick short orders, and good wholesome, well-cooked dinners. estly-brewed barley-malt beers make for true temperance. This American Colossus, who was second only to Washington in the service rendered to his country, drank good beer all his days. We know of no one who has yet dared declare that it injured him in any way. Under the tenets of the Constitution, which Hamilton did so much to make a fact, Anheuser-Busch 58 years ago launched their great institution. During these years they have honestly brewed honest beers. To-day 7500 people are daily required to meet the public demand. Their famous brand BUDWEISER, because of its quality, purity, mildness and exquisite flavor, exceeds the sale of any other beer by millions of bottles. RAINBOW H THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (By E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of Sunday School Course of Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (Copyright, 1915, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR NOVEMBER 28 AMOS, THE FEARLESS PROPHET. LESSON TEXT—Amos 5:1-15. GOLDEN TEXT—He that hath my word let him speak my word faithfully. Jer. 23:2. Among the prophets Amos bulks large. His message (B. C. 787?) is most thoroughly modern and its application to our present day problems deserves careful consideration. Read the entire book prayerfully. Chapters 1 and 2 enumerate the sins of the nation and of Israel: 3-6 contain addresses of the prophet: 7:1-9, 10 records his visions and the conclusion, 9:11-15 is a Messianic prophecy. The modern prophet of social service and those who neglect a proper consideration of "applied Christianity," both ought to ponder well this passage. I. Jehovah's Lamentation, vv.1-3. The words of this lesson are those of Jehovah spoken to the house of Israel but apply to all people of all ages. Verse one is a prophecy of the master's grief over the holy city (Luke 13:34; 19:41). Outwardly rich and opulent, in Jehovah's sight: the nation had already fallen (v. 2 R. V.) and there "is none (present tense) to raise her up." Israel is personified as a maiden sorely wounded. Spoken decades before, Israel did fall and has risen no more. But there is a possibility of mercy. There is here a command and a promise and those who obey the command will obtain the promise of life. To "seek ye me" (v. 4) is to turn the face to him rather than to turn the back. It implies the forsaking of all evil thoughts, yea, our own thoughts and ways and to turn unto him who will abundantly pardon (Isa. 55:6-7; Deut. 30:28). There is life for the most outbreaking and outrageous sinner if he will seek the Lord. II. The Prophet's Exhortation, vv. 4.9. The places mentioned in verse five had each been made sacred by God's presence and subsequently degraded by idolatry. Bethel especially so. (Gen. 12:8; 28:10-18; I Kings 12:29-29). These new religions and the false worshiping were beguiling even the sincere and unwary, hence the warning. We need to beware of the manifold "new cults" lest we depart from the faith of our fathers. America is today standing upon a social and religious crater in many ways similar to ancient Israel. God is either a consuming fire (Heb. 15:28-29; Mark 9:43-49) to the impenitent or else a minister of grace to those who repent. Verse seven is a suggestion regarding the rulers of that day and finds far too many counterparts in our own times. In verse 4 Jehovah exhorts the people to "seek him and live." In verse 6 the prophet utters the same cry. Now (v. 8) the appeal is to seek him because to do so is wisdom. (a) It is he "that maketh the stars," the earth, yea, everything, and it is well to be on his side (Ps. 19). (b) He "turneth the shadow of death into morning" (R. V.) (see Ps. 30:5). Who can comprehend the vast host of his saints for whom this has been done? (c) He "maketh the day dark with the night" (R. V.). This he is doing repeatedly. The God who set the day in its turn can also turn it aside; he has done it both past and present. III. The Word of Application, vv. 10-15. Sinners always hate the man who rebukes their sin. Scripture is not needed to prove this fact, for we see it today. We are specifically warned against the praise of the wicked (Luke 6:26) and any true and upright witness for Christ knows that he is abhorred by those whose lives are crooked. (John 3:18, 20). Verse 11 (A. V.) sounds very much like many of the strictures that are being made regarding the acts of some of the rich of today. How frequently we behold mansions built from the proceeds of oppression deserted by the ones who anticipated their occupancy. How few fortunes are really expended and enjoyed by those who make the accumulation. The manner by which we accumulate, our conduct towards the just (Acta 7:52), our acceptance of bribes, and our neglect of the needy and the poor is all known to God. (v. 12). "Therefore," even as today it is difficult and costly to get justice in our courts, even as iniquity is rapidly growing in the earth, about all the prudent man can do is to hold his peace, to wait upon God and watch for him. He it is who must call with trumpet voice ( Isa. 58:1) even though he does now speak with human lips. The fourth exhortation to "seek" (v. 14) is to search after the good, though the time be an "evil one." True goodness is to "hate evil and love the good" (Ps. 97:10; Rom. 10:9). By this test we may know if we really hate sin, if we are truly righteous. We have churches and lack reverence; we have preachers but are not sufficiently conscious of our weak morals; we hear sermons yet our faith is dabby. We can get on without armies and navies, airships and submarines, kings and legislators, yea lacking in all of the conveniences of modern civilization, but we cannot exist, much less grow, flourish and triumph without God. Daily Bible Reading By REV. HOWARD W. POPE Emanuel and Bible Teacher, Extension De ment, Middle Bible institute of Chicago TEXT-Give attention to reading. I Timothy 4:18. How one shall read the Bible depends largely on what he is reading it for. The Bible is an all-around book, and serves many purposes, but it is well to have in mind some definite purpose in all one's reading. PETER H. There is the devotional use of the Bible. All stringed instruments quickly get out of tune. The action of the atmosphere, and the constant vibration in play- ing, relaxes the strings so that they need to be retuned very often. No matter how good the violin is, it needs to be tuned every day, and often many times a day. Man is like a violin. He soon gets out of tune with God. The wear and tear of life, and the demoralizing atmosphere which sin creates, so affects his disposition that he needs to be brought into harmony with God every morning. It is not surprising, when we consider the subtlety of sin, and the weakness of the flesh, rather it is Strange that a harp of a thousand strings. Should keep in tune so long. Nothing will bring the believer into touch with God so soon as a little taste of the Divine Word. For devotional purposes the Psalms are perhaps the best, because they cover so wide a range of experience. Here we find aspiration and confession, joy and sorrow, adoration and praise. Here we behold the calm confidence which grows out of a sublime faith. "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want." Again we meet the bitter anguish which comes from ingratitude, or unrequited love, or the ecstasy of sin forgiven as in Psalm 32, or the passionate plea for mercy in Psalm 51, or the shout of triumph in Psalm 68. It is doubtful if there is any experience in life for which we cannot find a duplicate in the psalter, and, noting how the man after God's own heart behaved in similar emergencies, we are unconscionedly led into the same feeling. In the morning read Psalm 19, and at even Psalm 8. If you are going on a journey, Psalm 121 is appropriate. If it be Sunday, 122. If in perplexity, read Psalm 37. If you are grateful, choose, 105, or 106, or 107. If your heart needs searching, Psalm 139 will accomplish it. "O, Lord, thou hast searched me and known me," and after a sublime description of God's omniacence, closing with the-prayer which only an honest heart can utter: "Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me and know my thoughts; and see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting." If it is comfort you need, you will find it in abundance in either of the following Psalms. 34, 91 or 103. The gospels are also excellent for devotional reading because there we come in contact with the words and works of Jesus. We see how he lived in the home and by the wayside, in the carpenter's shop, and by the open grave. We see him in public life and in private ministry always the same, never hurried, nor worried, always thinking of others and never of himself. We see him playing with the children, watching the hens in the door yard, and the birds on the trees, the growing grains and tading flowers. In everything he saw God's love and care, and from all things natural he drew some spiritual lesson for his own and others' comfort. If it be asked how much one should read at a time for devotional purposes, let me answer with an illustration. I once saw a picture of the disciples on the way to Emmaus. The master has just left them and the two are looking at each other in glad astonishment. One of them is holding both hands over his heart as he says with rapture, "Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?" He can almost feel his heart burn still as he recalls the memory of that blessed walk. If you ask how long one shall read his Bible for devotional purposes, I answer, read until your heart burns, until your soul thrills with the consciousness of God's approval. You may read a chapter or a book or a single verse, no matter how much or how little, but read if you can until you are consciously in touch with God, and then, with the father's morning kiss upon your lips, you are ready to meet the outside world. Some people feel that they cannot spare the time for the morning watch, but I question whether any child of God can afford to do without it. Our souls need to be fed daily as well as our bodies, and the Bible is the soul's proper food. "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God."

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION BROTHERS AND SISTERS," IN REALITY, address before a large audience last Sunday in theheatley Branch, Y. W. C. A., the first word Williamson spoke were "Brothers and Sisters" was repeated throughout his discourse. He of strong personality, great magnetism and devotion for the cause of right. He is a gifted speaker of men. Listening to his eloquent words our mind revelled men's souls, and the cordial and fraternity stamped him as a man of Henry Ward Beecher. Williamson, like the noble Beecher, espoused against the measures now pending? If he doate he will prove to be against segregation like thousands of good white friends who wish to are not vitally concerned about the issues of welfare and prosperity. At this particular interest every expression of good will and desire to the Negro, and in these days of civic need men—strong men of Dr. Williamson and fearlessly attack the evil and vicious Negro now pending; men who will denounce against a despised race in this tidal wave threatens to sweep over our city. We bring in their determination to resist this evil poisoned soil of hatred and prejudice. We resitatingly and unequivocally expose its evil he may influence. Williamson, like Henry Ward Beecher, put our defence and tell the members of his church that he feels the fatherhood of God and that so strongly that he recoils against and co-achieves to infringe upon the right of event. We feel assured that this must be his antigro race, if his speech on last Sunday after sentiments of his heart. Andrew Jackson or ever who was seeking to draw from him the need of a fiery disposition,—"Sir, I am the natural Will Dr. Williamson aid us in arousing the city. Louis—who are the natural enemies of man of aspiration, who are the natural enemies of the progress and development of our city—are element of her population is seeking the citizens of their "inalienable rights" in the "BROTHERS AND SISTERS," IN REALITY? In his address before a large audience last Sunday at the dedication of Wheatley Branch, Y. W. C. A., the first words that Dr. William J. Williamson spoke were "Brothers and Sisters," and this salutation was repeated throughout his discourse. He impressed us as a man of strong personality, great magnetism and intense aggressiveness for the cause of right. He is a gifted speaker and a natural leader of men. While listening to his eloquent words our mind reverted to the days that tried men's souls, and the cordial and fraternal notes of his remarks stamped him as a man of Henry Ward Beecher's calibre. Will Dr. Williamson, like the noble Beecher, espouse the Negro's cause against the measures now pending? If he does what a strong advocate he will prove to be against segregation! There are thousands of good white friends who wish the Negro well, but who are not vitally concerned about the issues which affect his civic welfare and prosperity. At this particular period we note with interest every expression of good will and esteem from the white man to the Negro, and in these days of civic strife and confusion we need men—strong men of Dr. Williamson's type—who will boldly and fearlessly attack the evil and vicious legislation against the Negro now pending; men who will denounce this scheme projected against a despised race in this tidal wave of segregation which threatens to sweep over our city. We need men who are strong in their determination to resist this evil enterprise born in the poisoned soil of hatred and prejudice. We need men who will unhesitatingly and unequivocally expose its evil tendencies to everyone he may influence. Will Dr. Williamson, like Henry Ward Beecher, pick up the gauntlet in our defence and tell the members of his church and his fellow members that he feels the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man so strongly that he recoils against and condemns a measure which aims to infringe upon the right of even the humblest citizen? We feel assured that this must be his attitude toward the Negro race, if his speech on last Sunday afternoon is an index to the sentiments of his heart. Andrew Jackson once replied to a wily lawyer who was seeking to draw from him the admission that he was of a fiery disposition,—"Sir, I am the natural enemy of scoundrels." Will Dr. Williamson aid us in arousing the good citizenship of St. Louis—who are the natural enemies of oppression and repression of aspiration, who are the natural enemies of all that would retard the progress and development of our city—to the fact that a radical element of her population is seeking to deprive American citizens of their "inalienable rights" in the pursuit of happiness?

This decree denied the Negro On the Negro question in the United States, the rift from which light shines from behind the clouds is Chief Justice White. His appointment by Taft threw a wet blanket over the aspirations of the American Negro, and Taft was soundly and roundly abused because Justice White was a Southerner and had fought for the success of a Confederacy that was founded on African Slavery and had Negro inferiority as the corner stone of its structure. But Chief Justice White was not long on the Supreme bench before he rendered a decision setting aside the decree of the Supreme Court of Georgia. This decree denied the Negro's right to use the name or wear the emblems of the Knights of Pythias. Chief Justice White set aside this decree, and the rights of the Negro Pythians of Georgia remain intact. This was the first decision, favorable to the Negro that was ever handed down from the Supreme Court. Chief Justice White followed this line of thought consistently when, a few years later, he declared the "Grandfather Clause" in the Constitution of Oklahoma, too, unconstitutional and null. And now we wait, not with bated breath, for some of these barbarian segregation laws to reach his court for final action. It was Saul of Tarsus who took the Christians to Damascus to scourge them and on his way saw a great light in the clouds. It was Abraham Lincoln, born amidst the Negro-hating "poor white trash," who made himself the great man of American history in setting them free. It was General Joe Wheeler, who fought four years to fasten the fetters perpetually upon the Negro, that afterwards commanded Negroes in the Spanish-American War and pronounced them among the bravest and best disciplined soldiers on earth. We have this rather contradictory condition in the manner in which the Supreme Court is constituted: Justice White, ex-Confederate of Louisiana, presiding, deciding to prevent the dismantling of Negro Pythianism, and, on the other hand, Associate Justice Holmes, descendant of abolitionists, of Massachusetts, dissenting and agreeing with Georgia that a Negro has no right to be a Pythian; also, afterwards, Associate Justice Holmes presiding and handing down on opinion that the "Jim Crow" cars of Oklahoma are constitutional.

The courts of Maryland have put the brand of unconstitutionality upon it twice, and, in the third effort, it has big signs of failure. It has also failed at Atlanta and Richmond; it is still-pending in the courts at other places but must finally be pronounced unconstitutional and inoperative. It will also be a failure in St. Louis, if it is ever attempted here. The Constitution of the United States, as well as the several constitutions of the states, covers and protects both races in their right to sell or occupy their own possessions. For time immemorial it has been a common and a written law that the states cannot direct the disposition of individual property, except in cases where the public welfare or health may require it. Nor can a race or individual be restricted for residential purposes and confined to any particular street or corner of a city. Segregation has become an impending danger in St. Louis, and it behooves every Negro to register January 25 and cast his vote against it February 29. [Name] REV. G. W. SMITH PROVIDENCE BAPTIST NOTES Rev. G. W. Smith, D.D., former pastor of Providence Baptist Church, was called from labor to reward at 2 a.m Tuesday morning, November 23, in Philadelphia, Pa. His body was shipped to St. Louis and the funeral will take place at Providence Church, corner of Kennerly and Pendleton Ave., Monday morning, November 29, at 11 o'clock. Dr. Smith was a great evangelist and master church builder, having erected 11 churches at a cost of $91,000, the last on the list being the Providence Baptist Church, of St. Louis. These buildings will stand as lasting memorials to his faithful labor and sacrifices. Few ministers possessed his constructive genius in this line of work.

People often ask how it is possible for me to give such good values for so little money. The reason is simple: I am a direct maker to agent and dealer, which plan leaves out all middlemen and their profits. My large production cuts down the cost of manufacturing and selling direct to agents and dealers cut down selling costs. I have no salesmen to whom I must pay a salary and expenses. Each article is made of the finest quality of hair and the workmanship is the very best. Become my agent and cut the cost of your merchandise and make the profit yourself. Ira H.

Pendleton, has discovered a method for treating the hair which leaves it fluffy and greaseless, giving a natural effect.

Fashion Gossip EMMA AND BESSIE DISCUSS THE FRAU FRAU BALL My Dearest Emma: As I have not heard from you in some time, I am writing to know what is the matter and to urge you to let me hear from you at once. Well, I must tell you of the delightful time I had at the dance given by Frau Frau's. Did I have a good time? I had the best time of my life. Of course, woman-like, you want to know what every one had on, it would take too much time to tell you of each and every one. Dame Fashion's capricious fancies were demonstrated in each particular by the girls. The short dresses were a joy to the young men, who could dance without fear of stepping on his partner's dress. That reminds me, there was one young man whose trousers were so short and the whole suit so tight, I though every time he danced something would happen. Say, Em, he must have been out in a shower in that "please-don'ttrain-on-me-suit." George took me and he certainly looked swell. He told me on the q. t. that he had consulted H. A. Smith, Tailor and Haberdasher, at 2123 Market Street on the correct dress for the occasion. I just have a few minutes to catch the car to Kirkwood, so bye, bye, Bessie Dear Bessie: Your letter just to hand. Chara was here and I read it to her. She attended the Frau Fran's and says all the girls are complimenting the men for wearing gloves. There is no danger of their dresses getting soiled by perspiring hands. I hope all the men who had on dress suits fashioned after George Washington's time would consult H. A. Smith, Haberdasher and Tailor, 2343 Market Street, for correct styles for formal and informal dress. Smith is up-to-date. He has some dandy effects in black and white shirts, ties, socks and vests for the Novelty Party. I have a surprise in store for you in my costume. Do write real soon again to your loving friend.

Thy voice is on the rolling air, We hear thee where the waters run. Thou standest in the rising sun, And in the setting thou art fair. What art thou, then? we cannot guess, But though we seem in star and flower, To feel the same diffusive power, We do not therefore love the less. Our love involves the love before; Our love is vaster passion now. Though mixed with God and nature thou, We seem to love thee more and more. Far off thou art but ever nigh, We have thee still and we rejoice. We prosper, circled with thy voice, We shall not lose thee, though we die. Sadly missed by father and sisters. IN MEMORIAM In memory of our dear sisters, Francile McCall-Washington, who died October 3, 1915, and Katie McCall who died November 30, 1914. We miss you, dearest sisters, More than words can ere express, The memory of your happy smiles, Fills us with loneliness. And yet we know that you are where Joy, and bliss and love abide, In all our dreams we see you, dear, An angel by your side. We remember you daily in our prayers, And beg our Saviour, dear, To finally join us all once more, In heaven, when we leave here. Sadly missed by parents, husband, sister and brother. IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of our daughter and sister, Queenie A. Matison, who departed this life, November 29, 1913. Two long years have passed, Still we are grieving for you. Happy without we cannot be, So we go often to your grave, Lingering there, trying to be brave, But, oh, 'tis hard to bear To go away and leave you there. Sadly missed by father, mother and brother. IN MEMORIAM In loving remembrance of our dear mother, Susie Bragg, who departed this life November 23, 1913, two years ago. Silently the shades of evening, gather round the door; Silently they bring before us, that dear face we see no more. Rest in peace, your cares are ended; rest in peace, your work is done; You are gone and those who love you, now are coming, one by one.

Vanderlip, preside City Bank of New York, when asked, said in part: "The first and most familiar fund that of gathering up the idle money The farmers of this nation to come into their own must study business. We must, as a class, understand the fundamental principles that underlie every industry, its functions to society and its relation to agriculture, for there can be no intelligent cooperation without understanding. Mr. F. A. Vanderlip, president of the National City Bank of New York, when asked, "What is a bank?" said in part: "The first and most familiar function of a bank is that of gathering up the idle money of a community, small sums and large, and thus forming a pool or reservoir upon which responsible persons may draw as they have temporary use for money. It is an aggregate available for the employee community. But much more is actually deposited in the banks, for notes the efficiency of money is multi business, for example one of the actual money; on one side of its bank and drafts it is daily receiving from while on the other side will be enter cattle, etc., its only use of money be otherwise. If there were but one bank in bills by drawing checks on that bank, distally deposited it in the bank the s have temporary use for money. It is evident that this makes large sums in the aggregate available for the employment of labor and the development of the community. But much more is accomplished than the use of the money actually deposited in the banks, for by the use of drafts, checks and bank notes the efficiency of money is multiplied several times over. A very large business, for example one of the great beef packers, may use very little actual money; on one side of its bank account will be entered the checks and drafts it is daily receiving from everywhere in payment for meats, while on the other side will be entered the checks it draws in payment for cattle, etc., its only use of money being for small payments, to labor and otherwise. If there were but one bank in a community and everybody paid all bills by drawing checks on that bank, and everyone receiving a check immediately deposited it in the bank, the amount of money in the bank evidently would not change at all and the entire business of the community would be settled on the books of the bank. And the situation is but slightly changed when there are several banks, for they daily exchange among themselves all the checks they receive on each other, which practically offset themselves, although the small balances are paid in cash. This is called 'clearing' and in every lane after there is a 'Clearing House' where rearrangements of the M. B.

THEATRES MOORE'S CHICAGO FOLLIES PLEASE BOOKER WASHING- TON THEATER PATRONS Company Presents a Show Bubbling Over With Good Music Tim Moore and his Chicago Follies opened at the Booker Washington Theater Monday night in a new musical comedy entitled, "Lost in Africa." The presentation is...pleasing the theater patrons and is drawing crowded houses nightly. The play is bubbling over with musical numbers, its chief asset, the chorus, being rich with good, well-trained voices. The lady members consist of Mrs. Gertie Moore, Misses Arceola Blanks, Marry White, Frankie Barton and Eva Harris. This quintette opens the show, singing, "Summer Moon." The next number is a female quartette which is roundly applauded. Albert White, in a baritone solo, "The Hidden Treasure," scores nicely, and is followed by a male quartette, including himself, Tim Moore, Leonard Harper and W. McConico. This number is full of comedy by Mr. Moore, the basso, and makes a big hit. Moore also gets the applause in singing, "I Want to Come Back Home," "Jubilee in My Old Kentucky Home," by Miss Harris and company; "All Aboard for Jungle Land," and "Farewell Dixie," by the company, and "Cannibal Queen," by Miss White and company, are the other musical pieces. All are tuneful and melodious and share in the applause. "Lost in Africa" is a typical African scene, in the home of the cannibals, where Mary Jones (Miss White), niece of old parson Jones (Harper), has been held by cannibals and made queen. She is rescued by her chum (Mrs. Moore), Willie Ridiculous (Tim), and Charlie Smooth (Mr. White), after thrilling encounters with the cannibal king (McConico), and his tribe. Tim Moore is the comedian, and, as usual, keeps the audience in a fit of laughter. WESTERN DRAMA NEXT WEEK The Follies Company will present a western comedy drama next week, entitled, "Faro Dan's Last Game." This playlet will introduce all the typical western characters, including cowboys and girls, Indians, Mexicans, etc. In connection with the show there will be an oilo, presenting McConico, the ventriloquist, and a sketch by Albert and Mary White, entitled, "Sal's Revenge." Mrs. Certie Moore, bride of Tim Moore, is appearing at the Booker Washington for the first time this week. She is making a favorable impression. She possesses grace, charm, artistry and a good singing voice. COMING TO THE COMET Wednesday, December 29 "THE LIFE OF OUR SAVIOUR" AT THE MOVIE THEATER Sunday—Sunday, five acts.

SUMNER WINS Before a crowd of 2,500 enthusiastic spectators, Lincoln High, of Kansas City, went down in defeat to Sumner High, on the campus of St. Louis University, Thursday. The score was 81 to 0. From beginning to end Sumner's eleven proved themselves far the superior of the Lincoln team. The only regrettable feature of the game was, as the boys put it, "Sumner had no chances to star. We had a walk-over." However, Green, Wesley, Hutchinson, Caston and Young, had to show themselves by passing over Lincoln, goal almost at, will, Kansas City seldom interfering with any of their moves. 8 Reasons Why You Should Buy A Wurlitzer Piano 8 Reasons Why You Should Buy A Wurlitzer Piano 1930 CHAS. WATKINS Because of the vast variety of makes. Because of the famous names and world-wide reputations of the instruments. Because at no other store in this section can these makes be seen. Because of the clean, protective Wurlitzer selling policy of one.price to everybody and a commission to no one, which means absolutely fair treatment and prevents overcharge. Because all Wurlitzer prices are marked in plain figures and a child can buy as cheaply as the shrewdest bargainer. Because Wurlitzer will give you liberal exchange privileges and refund your money should you find your piano not exactly as represented. Because Wurlitzer exploits only instruments of established standard quality and thereby gives values that will be satisfactory always. Because Wurlitzer manufactures only high-grade pianos and sells them to you at the builder's price with all middlemen's profits eliminated. We will give $100 off on all pianos and player pianos for the holidays. Cabinet talking machines, $55; pay $1.25 per week. Also $25; $1.25 per week. Phone Bomont 1792W or call at my store. CHAS. H.

ROMAN CHEMICAL CO. : Nahville, Tenn. DEAR SIES: Having taken your medicine with such good results, I wish to inform you what effect it had upon me. Several years ago my physiologist treated me for indigestion and liver trouble, and was later told by them that an operation would be necessary. I took all kinds of medicines, with no results. Two weeks ago my condition was such that I was forced to allow the physiologist to hold a consultation, at which the consensus of opinion was that an operation would be the only relief for me. My mind was made up to have same performed, and had decided to go to an infirmary, but a friend heard of my intentions and advised me not to go to the expense, trouble and probably the loss of my life, when a cure could be affected by the use of your remedy. I took a bottle which swept a greenish mass from my system, including a number of genuine gall stones. Thank heaven, I took my friend's advice about your wonderful Stomach and Liver preparation. Symptoms in my case were clouded brain, costed tongue, sluggh on rising in the morning, had gas on my stomach, and oftentimes had pains in my side and back. I write this hoping it may much some person who is suffering from stomach and liver trouble. Am employed by the Nashville Fire Department and will always recommend your medicine.

Lady Attendant. Weak Mediums DISCOVERED. NOTE—These calling for pasturing, curious and frivolous pursuits, washing time calling on Prof. Gladstone. 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 knowing, cannot know. He looks far away into the dim mysterious future—which separates the human body from the fitting soul—and that which is to be told. The generated are brought to gather, foes are made friends, let property is recovered, the mist is brushed away from business ventures, the need is no guided that failures are averted, the earth's surface is explored, its treasure laid bare to his mysterious persecutive mind, and while he gives names, dares, and threats, his sins are dust founded at the revolution he has to him. He is surely a man of the passing time. GLADSTONE is not a clairvoyant from choice, but because into has so deceived it. His ancestors were powerful midwives and have for ages handed down their wonderful power of gift from generation generation. So he has received the rich knowledge of the blind knowledge and precious experience of generations. No matter what your present trouble may be or what your past experience has been, you will save time and avoid disappointment by at once consulting Gladstone. NOTE - Gladstone anews no letters.
