The People's Paper The Trade Maker STAR'S REPORT OF FAKE WIVES EXAGGERATED No Foundation For Publication, Says District Attorney Oliver. Negroes No Worse Than WhitesIn Schemes To Get Money From U.S. By Fraud. With glaring headlines, in the first column on its first page, Tuesday, The St. Louis Star, published the supposed information that "Fake Wives of Negro Soldiers Get U. S. Funds." In subheads the Star claimed that "United States District Attorney Oliver Gets Report of Fraud Involving Men Now at Camp Funston. Unmarried Women Claim Dependency. Nation Wide Investigation Said to Reveal That Children Are Also Used in Scheme to Get Money by Fraud." An Argus reporter called upon Attorney Oliver, to inquire into the truth of the claim and was told that there was absolutely no foundation, for the charge. Colonel Oliver stated that he did not know where the Star got the information, as he had not been interviewed. He explained that of course their were some cases, which were to be expected, but no particular race was specified. He had nothing to give out on these investigations which would be handled in the proper way by the Federal Grand Jury. The following is the fake publication as it appeared in the Star: The Star learned today that United States District Attorney Oliver has in his possession exhaustive reports from government agents showing that unmarried Negro women in St. Louis have been obtaining money from the government by passing as the wives of Negro soldiers stationed at Camp Funston. Government agents have learned that this has been done in thirty cases and new evidence of such improper claims of government funds is being found daily. The Star also learned that the government is conducting an investigation in all parts of the United States to ascertain to what extent, if at all, this practice is carried on in other cantonment camps. It is not known whether the Federal Grand Jury will be called upon to investigate any of the cases or whether the evidence will be submitted to authorities at Washington. The government makes a provision for the payment of the wives of soldiers in cantonment camps and the husband is expected to send her a certain part of her earnings. It is said that many of the unmarried Negro women benefiting by this practice have obtained between $15 and $40 a month regularly since the first quota of the draft went to Camp Funston. It is also stated that government agents have found several instances wherein the government has paid funds for the support of children who did not legally exist. Between 600 and 800 St. Louis Negroes were called in the first draft. Government agents, judging by the investigations thus far conducted, expect that between 100 and 200 of that number will be found to have assisted single women in obtaining money from the government. Race Prejudice to Be Swept Away by War,Says Dr.Bitting The idea that from the training in self-sacrifice and devotion to an ideal which the war is giving will come a spirit which shall revolutionize the world and breathe a new spirit into the word democracy, was expounded by Dr. William C. Bithing, pastor of the Second Baptist Church, in his address at the dinner which closed the two days' meeting of the Mid-West Agencies of the Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, at the Hotel Statler, last night. "These young men will come back," he said, "with every vestige of race prejudice swept aside. They will democratize the church, and no church which is based upon autocracy will stand. Many of the little isms will go and we will give greater attention to the bigger things of Christian life which really count. **Outlook Will Change** "The value of life will change and it will not be 'How much can I get out of this myself' but 'How much good can I do the world!' The man who takes a job and gives it his best efforts for the good of humanity is engaged in as holy a work as any which I, as a minister of the gospel, am ever engaged in." SIMMONS.

The movement was instigated by the request of Major General Woods and is one of the necessities of the Camp Without a Community House, the drafted boys have no place to receive their friends and relatives, especially the ladies, who wish to visit them. Under present conditions the Government only permits mothers, sisters, wives or sweethearts to visit them once each month, but with a Community House they can see their dear ones on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. The white boys have been provided with homes by their friends in the states from which they come, but the Colored boys have been neglected so far.

RANSOM LOSES IN FIGHT FOR UNITED STATES CONGRESS Democrats Capture Four Districts in New York City Election. Colored Man. Not On Regular Ticket. Gets Only 492 Votes. New York, March 6.—Reverdy C. Ransom, Independent Republican candidate for Congress in the Twenty-first Congressional District, received only 492 votes in the election here yesterday. The Twenty-first went Democratic by 2,102 majority. It is nominally Republican, having a big Negro vote. Ransom's name was not on a ticket and it was necessary to scrutinize the regular candidate and write his name in. This probably accounts for the small number of votes he received. The Democrats won in each of the four districts. Women cast nearly 50 per cent of the vote, the men, as usual, failing to turn out in large numbers to special election. The woman vote was approximately 94 per cent of its total strength. The male vote was little more than 26 per cent in these districts in years past. Those elected succeed to plains vacated by Democrats who resigned. They were Congressmen Hubert, Fitzgerald, Brueckner and Griffin. The men elected were John J. Delaney, William E. Cleary, Jerome F. Donovan and Anthony J. Griffin. The total vote cast was 78,192, and 31,938 women out of 35,205 registered voted. Y.W.C.A. MASS MEETING IN GYMNASIUM MARCH 17 Let's meet 17 be Y. W. C. A.

She has appeared at several of the churches, spoke before members of the N. A. A. C. P., the Young Women's Christian Association and given a special reception to the factory girls. Her interesting lectures have included moving pictures and several large audiences have heard her. Madam Walker arrived on St. Louis Thursday night, February 28, and made her initial appearance before a big crowd at St. Paul Church. She was scheduled to leave the city Friday. Plans are now being worked out for the Spring drive to collect the subscriptions which were made to the Y. M. C. A. building fund. Twenty seven thousand dollars which has been paid into the building fund of the Y. M. C. A. has been contributed by 50 per cent of the subscribers. Over 2,000 persons who have made subscriptions to the building fund have paid one penny on their pledges. In order that everyone may have a part in the Y. M. C.

The object is to increase the membership 50 per cent during this year. To do this they will be compelled to write 4,000 new members per month. To do this the deputy force must be doubled at once and Supreme Commander, Hon. C. M. White has not authorized that 12 salaried deputies be recruited in St. Louis and the adjourning cities of Missouri at once. Therefore within a very short time the great American Woodmen will be paying out to St. Louis men alone more than $1,000 monthly in salaries. Have we benefited St. Louis by coming here? Experience is not necessary; in fact we would rather accept men who have not had experience in the old lodges. Any person with ambition and energy may apply and be given a change to advantage. We are enrolling the applicants at once. A school of instruction will be opened for the applicants on March 15, and last until April 1. Some of the deputies recruited will be assigned to St. Louis, some to Chicago, some to Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey. I am very anxious to complete my list of applicants not later than March 15. Opportunity knocks at every man's door once and this is possibly the time. The American Woodman is the largest race enterprise in the world. It has $200,000 for the protection of its policy holders; $500,000 paid as benefits; and $40,000,000 of insurance written. We carry mercantile rating with Bradstreet and Dunn and we have on deposit with the Commissioner of Insurance of Missouri, $160,000. Persons who desire to apply for deputies should do so at their earliest convenience. Apply in person. C. C. Cade, 4215 W Funny Ave. Phone Landell 1315 W.

The indictments charge the two phy- sicians with fraudulently assessing the city with fees for attending smallpox and diphtheria cases, during the re- cent epidemic, which extended over the last three months of 1977.

His statement to the city, which was for $3, included pass for 164 visits at $3 a visit. The indictment says he made only 91 of these calls. The remainder of his bill was for vaccinations at 50 cents each. Another physician was in the court room when the report of the grand jury was read shortly before him. Dr. Huffman is a colored man. Some time ago he admitted his guilt and refunded the city $249 in overcharges. He has been placed under $2,000 bond. WOMAN WHO KILLED MRS. WILLIAMS DIES IN ALTON.

KNITTING TAKEN UP BY PORO CLUB The third regular meeting of the Poro Club for this year was held at Poro College on the evening of the 4th inst. and was more largely attended than any of the previous ones of the year. It has been customary to spend the social hour at the close of each meeting in entertainments and refreshments suitable to the occasion. But it was unanimously agreed at the previous meeting that the needs of our soldiers are too great to go unheeded and every woman came prepared to knit or learn, or to say. A strictly Howe Funcheon was served. So successful was this effort, that it was resolved to interest the thousands of other Poro agents.

An Exponent On Truth and Justice PRICE 5.0 FNTS MORE NEGROES ARE APPOINTED ON THE POLICE FORCE Action 'Follows Recommendations of December Grand Jury and Argus Article Showing. That Applicants Had Been Turned Down. Following in the wake of the recommendations of the December Grand Jury that additional Negro policemen he appointed on the police force in St Louis as a means of helping to curb crime in this city, the Police Board has added two to the force and it is understood that others will be appoint. The new men are Charles 'Rudie' Johnson and John Kunz. Johnson was formerly a member of the force and was dropped during the time the detectors was head of the Board. He has been a jailer in the counsel's office. Kunz has been guarder in Judge Henning's court. At the time of the Grand Jury's report the Argus called attention to the fact that probably over fifty men had made formal application for appointment on the force, and the medical examiner had turned them down, claiming that not one of them had been found physically able to fill such a position. FATHER DIXON CEMETERY IS O.K. Graves Comply With State Law. There Can Be No Stench. No Burials A Negro burial at the Dixon cemetery on the Sappington road, a quarter of a mile south of the Big Bend road, in St. Louis, Co. was halted yesterday by Sheriff Bopp until the mourners agreed to dig the grave deeper. The sheriff had just finished measuring the grave, and had found it only 4 feet 5 inches deep, in violation of a state law which provides all graves must be six feet deep. The sheriff and a Post fipatch reporter visited the cemetery yesterday, after complaints had been made by persons living in the neighborhood that sanitary rules were being violated there. They found several newly dog graves ranging in depth from 4 feet 5 inches to 5 feet seven inches. One of the exavations had been made so close to the adjoining grave that the coffin in the other was exposed. In most cases the graves are unusually close. As the shiriff was departing after the inspection, a funeral party arrived. The shiriff halted the procession, which consisted of several automobiles, and depended that the grave be made to conform with the law. He said it was only consideration for the mourners that prevented him from arresting the undertaker on the scene. Members of the party alighted and started after some shovels and the shiriff departed. C. W. Hawken, whose house is about 400 feet from the cemetery, told the shiriff that he had measured the same graves earlier in the day. He said he intended to make a complaint today, with the intention of obtaining a warrant for the undertaker. Post dispatch. The cemetery referred to is Father Dickson's owned by a Colored company. When the Argus reporter called at the headquarters of the Association, 5222 Pine St., he was told that the report was greatly exaggerated. L. S. Williams, the manager, stated Sherif Bopp, who is also an undertaker, has complained because the rules of the association require undertakers to call at the office and arrange for graves, instead of seeing the sexton on the grounds, and that the funeral in question was his own, a child, and Bopp only stepped the burial long enough to enquire about the depth of the grave, which complied with the State law although Bopp thought this a good time to "get even." Mr. Williams states that no other funerals were stopped. He said that not one in twenty-five bodies are buried without being thorughly embalmed and there could be no stench, as complained. BABY FOUND ALIVE IN AN ASH PIT A little baby girl, and to be less than two days old, was found wrapped in a wet sheet in an ash pot at the rear of 4171 W. Belle, Friday, March 1st. about 7 p.m. The infant was securely covered with the cloth, but not stiffened to muffle its cries which were heard by Mrs. Jennie Graff, 4144 Fair, fax. Pohleman John Hughes, who walks the district was called and after taking the child to a warm store in the neighborhood, secured dry clothing and had it sent to the city hospital, where it was stated it will live. The baby was of light complexion, with apparently straight hair. It had probably been in the ash put only a short time and may have been carried from some remote part of the city. No clue to its parentage has been found.

YOUNG, Agent 709 N. 21st St. St. Louis, Mo WAR TALKS By UNCLE DAN Number Four Military Training Necessary for Safety and Defense. "Say, Uncle Dan," said Billie, "Jimmy and I have been looking up about war in the encyclopedia at school. We found that in the war between Germany and France in 1870-71, Germany lost in killed and wounded 28,000 soldiers while France lost about six times as many, and besides that, she lost every battle. We asked Professor Sloqum why this was. He said; that the German army was highly trained and ably commanded, while the French soldiers were poorly trained; and that their war department was honey-combed with jealousy and politics; that the officers were not much good, and that's why France lost the war and so many men. What do you think about it, Uncle Dan?" "Well," said Uncle Dn, "Professor Slocum is right. By inefficiency France lost that war, together with two of her best provinces—Alsace and Lorraine—and had to pay a billion dollars indemnity money. France today learned her lesson by that sad experience, so she put in universal military training, and as a result, her soldiers now know how to fight and how to protect themselves. They are losing less men in the war than the Germans. France also put politics out of her war department, so that expert authority, instead of burguercal stupidity, now directs the army. "The result is, France has one of the best and most efficient armies every assembled, and this shows what thorough training and good leadership means in warfare. This saved France in this crisis, as well as the littles of the world." "As war is now conducted, there is no place for an untrained man. A body of 10,000 well trained soldiers properly handled could defeat five times their number of raw recruits and do it every time with comparatively small loss to themselves. Proper training alone will reduce the death and casualty rate one-third of what it otherwise would be, and right here is an unanswerable argument for universal military training. "Our government has no moral right to force her men into war service without properly training them for it. To do so is simply murder; hence the frantic effort that is now being made to give her soldiers some training before they are sent to the front. If we are to win this war, it will take trained men to do it, and it will take trained men to win any other war that may come upon us in the future. If we must fight, let us fight to win and not to lose." "That's the stuff," said Billie. Continuing, Uncle Dan said: "Our government has expended about $300,000,000 to put up cantonments, and training stations in order to train the men called by the selective draft. When these men are trained the training stations should be immediately filled with younger men, say, those in their nineteenth year, to receive six months of intensive military training along the lines of the Chamberlain bill. This will be of immeasurable benefit to them individually. It will do them more good than any other two years of their whole life; it will make them strong, mahly, self-reliant, quick to see and quick to lift; it will equip them for a successful life. In short, it will rebuild American manhood and will also give the government a body of trained men to draw from in case it is necessary to defend our flag and country. We must settle this question of universal military training immediately, otherwise these training camps may be demolished. The adoption of universal military training will be notice to the world that from then on we will be prepared to defend ourselves promptly and efficiently, and this will do more to keep us out of war in the future than anything else we could do." "Do you think, brother," said Mrs. Graham, "that there will ever be another war?" "I have no doubt about it," said Uncle Dan. "So long as men are selfish, so long as nations are ambitions to acquire territory; so long as population presses and demands more room, so long as there remains a grenille for world trade—so long wars will be. When the time comes that we reach the high plane for which we hope and dream, when all will recognize the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, then, and then only, will wars cease. When that day comes doors will need no locks, banks will need no vaults to protect their treasures, but that day is a long way off. "The only safe and safe plan is to be able to defend ourselves at all times. Therefore, every citizen should insist that senators and congressmen shall provide for universal military training, so that never again shall the country be caught so completely unready as this. war found us. Fortunately, in this case, our enemy has been held back, so we have had a few months in which to prepare. This advantage probably will never come again. It is however our salvation today. "Because she was ready, Switzerland is an island of peace in a sea of war. Safety first is good, but safety always is better. In strength there is safety. You never saw a tin can tied to the tail of a bulldog. There is a reason." Up to now, Americans have been as wasteful of coal as of other resources, largely because coal has been abundant. It will be abundant no longer until this war is over, says Thomas R. Shipp, in the World's Work. It is clearly up to the domestic consumer to give time and thought to the conservation of coal. Statistics are usually hard reading, but some of the statistical types afford the two first adjustment factors one think that perhaps, after all, Mrs. Partington might have swept back the sea if she had only persevered. Here are some of the statistical epigrams: If every housekeeper in the country would save one small shovelful of coal each day at the end of a year the saving would amount to 15,000,000 tons. If every housekeeper during the six winter months would save one furnace shoveful of coal a day, it would amount to 25,000,000 tons of coal. These savings combined would amount to 40,000,000 tons, which would almost wipe out the national shortage of 50,000,000 tons. The fuel administration offers practical instructions for the economical use of coal in stoves and furnaces. Oil stoves and fireless cookers are recommended as coal savers. There you have the practical side of coal conservation during the war. But with that sort of economy the fuel administration has linked up the conservation of health. It has long been a source of reproach, on the part of visitors to us from other shores that we have always overheated our homes. The advice of prominent physicians and surgeons has been asked, and the consensus of this opinion is that we should all be healthier, harder, and more comfortable if our houses were kept at a temperature of 68 degrees Fahrenheit. Mother's Cook Book ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ be Child's Tumbar Basket The filling of a lunch basket for a small child is not an easy task if it is a daily one. For the growing child we must not only see that they have food for the daily needs of heat and energy but for the growth of the frame and muscle. The average child is fond of peanut butter and a luncheon which may be used only in an emergency but which is highly nutritious may help out in time of stress; this is the college sandwich, two sakes of sweep chocolate put together with peanut butter. This with an apple or a glass of milk will afford a good meal. Baked apple with cream, plain bread and butter or bread and butter with a filling of a lettuce leaf dipped in French dressing or other salad dressing with a cupful of cocoa or hot milk is another good combination. The child's love for sweets should be satisfied as often as possible with a date or fig or a little fresh fruit rather than rich cake or candy. Cottage cheese is another wholesome food, and when it is mixed with cream and well seasoned it is sufficiently sustaining to take the place of meat. Two slices or more of barley or steamed brown bread served with the cottage cheese with a banana or an apple will be a good lunch. The cheese, if rich with cream, may be carried in a small paper cup. These paper cups are useful for carrying custards of various flavors or jams and jellies to supply the sweet that a child enjoys for dessert. Chopped cooked egg, well seasoned and spread on buttered bread is a sustaining sandwich. A small cupful of rice pudding or tapioca or go pudding will add variety to the luncheon. The best of cakes for little people are sponge cakes, as they are never too rich for them to digest. With the sugar saving which we are asked to make, frosted cakes and fancy filled cakes are not at all common, save on state occasions when a birthday is to be celebrated. Nellie Maxwell For every five helpers Uncle Sam had in 1916, he had ten and a fraction in 1917. This additional force was needed to achieve the government's war aims. Workers will win the war. It is the business of the civil service, commission to sort these for Uncle Sam, appointing to government jobs those which best answer his requirements. To increase the government's force, the commission was forced to, increase its own. In reporting the busiest year in its history, it speaks of having had to use $250,000 of the president's special emergency fund for national safety, in its man and woman hunt. Enough remains to tide it over till an appropriation can be made. One interesting thing found in the report is that a number of applicants and appointees for various positions found Uncle Spin's pay too meager to accept his positions when the appointments were offered. Five hundred appointments were made without examinations in emergency cases, for the first time in the history of the commission. A retirement-with-pension system was recommended at the foot of the commission's war story. WAR TALKS By UNCLE DAN Number Five It was a warm evening, so Uncle Dan went out to a farm seat under the spreading branches of the great tree that suggested the farm's name of Oak Hill. Billie and Jimmie had been laying for him, so Uncle Dan was captured by the boys on short-order. Harry M. Boeckmann 2715 Franklin Ave. REAL ESTATE and HOUSE AGENT Good Houses. Flats and Rooms to Rent to Colored People. Call or Phone. Good Service. "Say, Uncle Dan." Billie began. "We had a red-hot argument at school yesterday with Carl Newman. Carl said that German schools are miles ahead of our schools and that no one could come up to the educated German. Well, Jimmie got hot under the collar and handed it back to him good and plenty. Jimmie said if their education taught them to torpedo Lustianias, sink hospital ships, murder hundreds of women and children, make slaves of the Belgians, poison wells, destroy fruit trees and commit all sorts of crimes, then we did not want that kind of education here. What do you think about it, Uncle Dan? I told Jimmie you spent a lot of time in Europe and knew all about schools, so give us your opinion."

Senate Ave., Indianapolis, Ind., U.S.A. "Well," replied Uncle Dan, deliberately, "the German schools are very thorough; they furnish exceedingly valuable and practical instruction." The industrial training given there is probably the best to be found. The schools as a whole, however, in my opinion, appeal to the head only, and never to the heart. The aim and trend is to make the individual blindly submissive to the Prussian plan of world dominion; they teach that it is the destiny of Germany to rule the world, and that to the glory and advance of Germany, in this plan, all things must give way; that the kaiser as head of the state, can do no wrong if he carries forward the plan of world control. Some of the greatest teachers and preachers even defend and justify her heartless crushing of Belgians and the many other atrocities crimes she has committed in this war. Thank God, our American education reaches both the head and the heart. It is an education with a soul, and we must maintain the high ideals we have fixed. In a word, in Germany, the people are taught that they exist for the government, while here the government exists to serve the people."

Uncle Dan, smilingly, compiled. Billie exclaimed: "Now, we will hand that nut out for Carl to crack. Carl, you know," continued Billie, "has a very smart father who keeps him posted on the German arguments. Carl said our government was only an experiment anyway; that it would not last twenty years, and that it might burst up any old time. Jimmle asked him if Germany was so mighty good, why they did not go back there to live." "Our government will go on forever, won't it, Uncle Dan?" "Now," said Uncle Dan, "you are raising a big question, and one that has troubled me for years. Our government is still in the experimental stage; in fact, it is the greatest experiment ever undertaken, and if popular government is to be successful, a few things must be done, otherwise, to paraphrase the great Lincoln, the government of the people, by the people and for the people, will perish. It is my firm conviction" said Uncle Dan, in a very impressive manner, "that if our country is to go on, as we hope and pray, we must very quickly do at least three things, and I will name them in the order of importance as it appears to me: ```markdown ``` "First, adopt compulsory universal military training of all young men physically fit before they reach the age of twenty years.

"Next, require that every foreigner who comes here to live must, within a reasonable time, say a year, declare his intention of becoming an American citizen and take the necessary steps to do so, thereby, from that moment, assuming all the obligations of citizenship of our country, and that means he must defend our flag upon equal terms with our native born, and if he is not willing to do this, he should be sent back from whence he came." "That's the stuff," exclaimed Billie. "And finally, enact such legislation as will make voting compulsory. Popular government is based upon the participation of all and the rule of the majority, and democracy cannot continue and be successful unless we live up to the spirit of the institution." "OLD SIGNS DO NOT DECEIVE" Watch out for these three. "The first step, however, is the passing of the Chamberlain bill for universal military training. If you will get the leading citizen, and especially the editor of your paper, to write personal letters to your congressman and both senators, urging their support, it will help enormously.

Made and recommended to the public by Paris Medicine Co., manufacturers of Laxative Bromo Quinine and Grove's Testeless chili Tomato TO GROW LONG STRAIGHT HAIR There are so many so-called half growers on the market, a large number of which are nothing more than perfumed grease, it is no wonder people get discouraged, and lose faith in all hair tonics. In deciding what to use on your scalp, he sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Seeby's Quimade is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is a real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. Quimade is the invention of an expert chemist and is made under the supervision of an experienced registered pharmacist. It makes the hair soft and smooth and easy to put up in the style desired. To get the best results from the use of Quinasea, it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasea oil. Quinasea is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and is a thorough cleaner. Quinasea lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequalled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Seeby's Quinasep, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 bents each. If your druggist or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them for you from his whole-saler or send us the price and we will mail them to you. Write, to Seeby Drug City, 79-East 130th street, New York City, for a sample of Quinade, mentioning the name of this paper.—Ad New York office, Front & Front, 23, East 56th Street, Chicago oce. Front & Front Boyce Buildings Atlanta office, Front & Front, Chandler Building, Nashville office, Front & Front, Independent Lif Building WHAT THE COLORED PRESS IS DOING: "It is the Colored Press today in whose hand reposes the scape-tre of larger influence and greater power for racial betterment. The more liberal the race is in its patronage of the Colored Press, the more power will it wield for good" says Editor Forte of the Cleveland (Ohio) Advocate, which reminds us of the magnificent tribute paid to the Negro Press by the late Dr. Booker T. Washington. In his last annual address before the National Negro Business League at Boston, Massachusetts in August 1915, Dr. Washington said: "This organization could not have been kept alive from year to year without the hearty co operation of another hard-working and deserving element of our race that most of our people know too little about I refer to the deep debt of gratitude we owe to the NEGRO PRESS of this country. There is no set of people who are contributing more generously, even out of their poverty, toward the uplift of our race than is true of the owners and editors of the Negro newspapers of this country, and I say this notwithstanding the fact that now and again there are those who do not altogether agree with me." Therefore, the writer of this series will be pardoned for repeating now a statement which he made sometime ago regarding the Negro Press and which is most appropriate in this connection. The statement was in part as follows: "No less than a dozen of these papers take their turn each week and speak editorially to the race, urging them to patronize the members of the race who are in business. That appears to be one topic on which all of the publishers agree and in agitating for more liberal and sustained patronage for Negro business enterprises they are prompted by no loftier motive than their pride of race and their absorbing desire for the race's upclimb into the more important avenues of commerce and industry. For this they are to be commended and should be encouraged." "By continually uving the race to support its business men, these papers are extending the trade of the Negro business men. But what are the Negro merchants as a group giving back to the Negro papers in return and what are they doing to co-operate with all this agitation? It must be granted that quite a few individual merchants give their printing of stationery to Colored printers and not a few insert small advertisements in Negro newspapers which in many instances is "traded out," but there is entire absence of group appreciation on the part of Negro merchants for the great work now being done for them by the Negro editors."—By Albon L. Holsen, Negro Business League.

CHURCH NOTES Rev. Thurman, presiding elder of the St. Louis district appointed for us Sunday morning. Rev. Perry filled the pat-pit Sunday at 3:00 p.m. "Has Thurman also filled Sunday night. Sunday was quarterly meeting day and each service was well attended. Wednesday night being quarterly meeting sight, each department had their reports well in hand and showed improvement along all lines. Dr. Johnson has proven himself to be equal to the occasion in handling the largest church west of the Mississippi River to the satisfaction of all concerned: This preacher of the "West," has filled one of the most important positions of our connection before coming to St. Louis, and we should not be surprised if his friends should urge him to aspire for one of the general offices in 1920, as he is capable of filling any position in the gift of the connections. WAYMAN A. M. E. CHURCH Rev. A. R. Dobbins, the pastor of Waymaa, preached, one of the most logical and spiritual sermons of his stay, at Sandy morning at 11:00 a.m. After many persons testifying in the old time Methodist way, he seemed to be full of the Holy Ghost from the start. Text taken from Luke 22:43, "Dost Not Thou Fear God?" After reading his text, he centered the minds of his hearers on the crucifixion and death of Christ, and he seemed to be caught up in the spirit and preached as never before, and the entire congregation were so happy they could not sit still in their seats and anthers were coming from all parts of the church. Dr. Dobbins is holding his, own and bringing the church up to where it should be. Five more were added to the church at this service. At 5 p.m. he preached from the 6th chapter and 11th verse, "When the Lord saw her he had compassion on her and said unto her, weeps not." This sermon was very inspiring. We invite all strangers and friends who are longing for an old time spiritual service to come to Wayman. Services at 11 a.m. and 8 p.m. Miss Mamie A. Woodson departed last Monday for her home at M. Vernon. Ohio, accompanied by her sister, Mrs. V. R. Dobbins, wife of Ivey, A. R. Dobbins. Morgan and Jefferson Service was well attended at Mt. Zion Baptist Church; Sunday, March 2d.

WOMAN'S UNION AUXILIARY The Woman's Union Auxiliary to the Seven Church Baptist Union met at the El Bethel Baptist Church, Sunday; March 3rd. The program was most excellently carried out.

HARRIS Rev. G. B. Shaw Hundreds have heard Rev. S. S. Launder, who has realized a great success with our revival. Rev. Launder was presiding elder over our district 32 years ago. Two years ago he was again our presiding elder. Last year he was presiding elder over the Chicago district. Rev. Launder, who is a noted speaker, has many admirers in St. Louis. Probably the greatest sermon preached was Tuesday evening when Rev. Launder spoke on the World's Great Need. The words of the text were taken from the 10th chapter and 42nd verse of St. Luke: But one thing is needful: and Mary hallowed chosen that good part. A beautiful model was made of Mary. But Rev. Launder said the world needed more people to choos' the good part. The speaker still has the habit of moving about on the rostrum and exercises himself freely to drive home his points. Rev. Launder is now pastor of the C. M. E. Church in Mt. Vernon, Ill. His shining spectacles, and gray locks make him a beautiful sight in the pulp. Pre- siding Elder Jacobs is here and will hold quarterly meeting Sunday. Child conference will be held next Tuesday evening. The L. S. Person club announces Mrs. W. H. Ward, president, and Mrs. L. B. Oliver, secretary. Mrs. Cora-Manning, president of the Willing Workers. Club, announces Mrs. Jessie Caviness as her secretary. Mrs. Sarab Tutt, president Phyllis Wheatley Club, announces Mrs. Lillian Wilson secretary. The Sunset Club and Epworth League will work together in the rally. Miss Myrtle Copeland is the League secretary, and Mrs. Josephine Maupin is secretary of the Sunset Club. Sunday school tag day was a decided success. Rev. B. G. Shaw and congregation will be present Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, when Rev. Shaw will reach. Dr. J. W. Jaccobs Dr. J. W. Jaccobs That Presiding Eldor Jacobbs is in the race for general secretary of the Epworth League should be inspiring to the entire northern section of the C. M. E. Church. Of course he will be elected but it will not be done easily. The work needs a man like Dr. Jaccobs. He is a good mixer and a favorite with the young people. He promises us special literature that will interest both young and old. He promises to visit in person as many Leagues as possible. Dr. Jaccobs has had several encouraging letters from over the connection. This too, is good news. That the present incumbent, Mr. Calhoun, will again make the race, is not appalling. But we must begin our part of the campaign. A few well composed letters from our officers to the Christian Index, a resolution from the church to the General Conference, the getting together of the ministers of the St. Louis District and the cooperation of Bishop Jamison will put pep in the campaign and help us land our man. FIRST FREE BAPTIST CHURCH Courtyard and Acrees Acre All Free Baptists, friends, and well wishers of the Free Baptist Church are cordially invited to join us in our monthly Communion service next Sunday at 8 p.m., the 10th inst. Our "latch string hangs on the outside" and the general public is given a standing invitation to worship with us at any time. Everything is being put in readiness for our grand rally on the 24th of this month. Come! See our new homes Help us. Come, let us get acquainted. Come and renew your vow to live and die under the banner of the Free Baptist Church. Come and help us "brighten the corner where we are." Rev. A. H. Bostick, Pastor, 4219 W. St. Ferdinand Ave. METROPOLITAN NOTES Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church is still carrying her great and enthusiastic crowds. Last Sunday was, another history making day for Metropolitan Church and people. It is inspiring to see so many bright and intelligent faces, as they come pouring in to hear the gospel of the Son of God. And there is the truth about it, they get the gospel red hot from the throne. Dr. B. G. Shaw, the gifted pulpiteer, delivered a very interesting and enthusiastic, yes, powerful sermon last Sunday morning from the subject, "The bitter cup." The sermon was "very appropriate for the communion services. He beautifully protrayed the life of Jesus in Gethsemane: The ingredients he said, of the cup made it bitter. Some of the ingredients he said, were the thoughts of being associated with sin, another to be forsaken by the men who declared they would never leave him; to be betrayed by one he selected to follow him throughout his ministerial career. The burdens and sorrows of all nations and the absence of his Father, made the cup painful bitter. The church is now organized as perhaps never before. The Unit system, the Presidents Council of Presidents, the Pres. Cabinet and the Class Leaders organization with the Trustees and Stewards, making about 40 distinct-organizations and all in operation—The pastor has greater ease in mastering the situation and financial conditions, than ever in the history of the church. The Sunday school is booming. The pastor promises to give another great and inspiring message for this coming Sabbath. Come and hear the message. ST. JAMES CHURCH "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ! Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril or sword!" Romans 8th chapter, 15th verse Theme: "The survival of Christian Love." A hushed silence fell over the congregation when the pastor announced his text. "The apostle Paul asks a series of questions," said the pastor. "If we follow Christ and emulate his example, our lives will be filled with suffering. The love of Christ should survive all but it must be deep and sincere. Many persons are out of the church today on account of persecutions. They were not able to stand the test. "One of the most striking examples in Biblical history is the story of the Babylonish captivity. The Jews never got over it. It was the beginning of the red. The American Indian, once a proud race, is fast disappearing over the western hills. They have no national anthem." TABERNACLE BAPTIST CHURCH 2726 Pine St. Rev. S. A. Moseley, D.D. Pastor Sunday, March 3, was another gorious day for us at Tabernaelea. Our pastor was present, and although suppose what physically impaired as yet, he was quite himself spiritually. His appeal "Let Jesus Be Heard," brought tears of joy to the hearers as he so vividly pictured the importance of giving Jesus a hearing in our homes, at our avocations, as a solution to the great labor problems, the great international problems which confront us as a nation, and in all the councils of all the nations of the world in the settlement of all vital questions, and bringing about the establishment of an honorable and lasting peace. He reached his climax by setting forth that the church, God's base in operation, must take the initiative in bringing this great influence to bear upon the nations of the world. Bro. Chas. H. Temple is demonstrating his ability as a superintendent in the constant growth of the Sunday school. The young men's class, under the leadership of Deacon Marchbanks, rapidly approaching its goal of 100 members. The B. Y. P. U. with Bro. Willie Greer as president, is making rapid strides along all lines. Conditions bid fair for abundant success in the financial rally recently inaugurated. Every phase of the work is alive, the result of which is seen in the reception of members at practically every service. On the recommendation of the pastor Sister Belle L. Woods was amassively gifted missionary for the church. Her duties in this line of work have been outlined. The pastor and she are expected to enter upon the duties of said work immediately. She will receive a compensation from the church for her services and we hope for her much success, and pray that God will crown her labors to the extent that she will be a blessing, not only to Tabernacle, but to the community at large. Sister Mary Johnson, former president of the $^{1}$ "Busy Bee" club, has been called to her reward. The funeral was conducted from the home at 2 p.m. Sunday by the pastor. The Rev. Dr. Smith of Brownsville, Tean, preached a soul stirring sermon for us Sunday evening. Our meeting is now in progress and souls are being added to the church. souls are being added to the church. We see the harvest all ripe and ready to harvest, and conscious or our duty, and mission as if church, we answer "here am I, send me." We therefore appeal to you in the words of the poet, "Loud and strong the Master calliche, rich reward he offers thee; who will answer gladly saying, here am I, send me, send me." Dr. R. H. Wilson of Waco, Tex, who is to conduct the meeting, assures us by telegram received today that he will be present Sunday morning, March 10. Come and join us in these services and let's fight for the coming of the Master's Kingdom as the nations are fighting for world's Democracy. ALL SAINTS EPISCOPAL Confirmation class for children this Sunday, at 12:30 p.m., and for adults at 4 p.m. The other services will be at the usual hours. Rev. Z. B. T. Phillips, rector of St. Peters' Episcopal Church, will be the preacher Wednesday night, March 13, and the Rev. S. E. Arthur, Friday night, March 15. Drs. Phillips and Arthur are two of the best speakers of the church in St. Louis, and they should be greeted by the full membership of All Saints and the general public. EL BETHEL CHURCH El Bethel Church was honored with the presence of Dr. Cromwell of Maryville, Ind., and in the morning she preached a splendid sermon from Dan. 3:25, subject, "The organization of the Church of God during the dedication of an idolatrous image." The sermon was beautifully illustrated. At night we enjoyed another instructive sermon by our loving pastor. We are pleased to report those ill, improving. Sunday is communion day and all are invited to come. Rev. W. W. Perry pastor; Mrs. M. S. Tankins, clerk. SEVEN CHURCH BAPTIST UNION The Seven Church Baptist Union met Monday night, March 4th, with the Semple Avenue Baptist Church at the North Galilee Baptist Church. Sermon by Rev. W. W.

Briseo was with us again last Sunday morning and delighted the members and friends of this church with another one of his southern styled sermons. "Come Thou and all of Thy House into the Ark," Gen. 7:17. The pastor's subject at night, was "An Old Gospel, a New People," 2 Kings 10:10, dwelling largely on Scolon and his divine gift of wisdom and riches bestowed upon him for his upright living and clean parity. The special concession of building God's temple because he had clean hands. A noteworthy sermon delivered with admirable skill. On next Sunday we will observe covenant and holy communion. Rev. D: W.
