COLE OLD CITIZEN, DIES Funeral Held Tuesday at St. Elizabeth's Catholic Church, America's Best Known Servitor's Last Rites Largely Attended. A Profession of Floral Offerings Bespoke Regret and Sympathy of City's Wealthy Ones By W. Harold King THE LATE JAMES T. COLE the death of Mr. James T. Cole, the well-known citizen, has left a vacancy in the society world which will be hard to fill. Mr. Cole passed away at his residence, 3955 Finney avenue, at 7:55 p. m. Friday, April 12, after a short illness from heart failure. He was conscious until the last and died expressing a faith in his Maker and a readiness to embark on the journey into the great beyond. James T. Cole, better known as Jim Cole, was born in Franklin, Ky., May 11, 1853. Having been left fatherless when an infant, he was brought to St. Louis, by his mother at the tender age of three years. He had been married twice; his first wife was Miss Annie Graham of St. Louis, who died five years after their marriage. Two children were the result of this marriage, both of whom are still living. They are, Mrs. Shelle Johnson and Chester Cole. His second wife who survives him was Miss Virginina Cox of St. Louis; two children were also the result of this union, both of whom are living in the persons of Mrs. Marie Sturgeon and Mrs. Zenobia Allen, Mr. Cole's second marriage took place Nov 21st, 1882, and for thirty-six years, it is commonly stated that he and Mrs. Cole have never had a cross word during their almost half century of married life. For almost forty years, Jas. T. Cole, has been engaged as doorman by the wealthiest St. Louis, families, and no social function of any prominence was considered complete without his presence. He was also a caterer waiter and a barber, and all of his clients were the best known men and women of the city. That St. Louis has lost one of its most popular and best known citizens was evidenced by the numerous floral offerings and many cards of sympathy which came almost hourly to the home from the time that his death was first made known, until Tuesday morning, when the funeral was held. Among the most elaborate of the floral offerings were, a large cross and balances from the employees of the St. Louis Woman's Club, a large wreath of sweet peas from Branch 275, C. K. of A., a large pillow of white carnations from the Pearless Knights, a large cross of roses, carnations and violets from the Caterer Waiters, a large spray of wheat from the Colored Waiters Alliance and a large wheel of white roses and carnations with a broken spoke in the wheel, from the family. Mr. Cole was a member of St. Elizabeth Catholic Church, a member of the Catholic Knights of America, a memBER of Othellie Lodge, No. 1. Benevolent Order of Pearless Knights, a member of the Caterer Waiters and also the Colored Waiters Alliance. The funeral rites of the Catholic Knights look place at the residence Sunday afternoon at four o'clock, and those of the Peersless Knights were held Monday evening, at nine o'clock. The requiem and high mass was held Tuesday morning at nine o'clock at St. Elizabeth, by Father McGuire, assisted by two priests from St. Louis University. Father McGuire in his remarks on the domestic life of Mr. Cole, stated that the many millionaires whom Cole WEAVER RETRACTS STATEMENTS MADE IN THE CLARION To the Editor of The St. Louis Argus: In the issue of the St. Louis Clarion of April 13, appeared an article written by me, reflecting upon the character of Ernest Patillo, Dr. D. W. Scott, Homer G. Phillips, W. H. Fields, Crittenden Clark and Rev. B. G. Shaw. The contents of this letter does these gentlemen arn injustice and was unwarranted, in fact, and I take this means of publicly apologizing to them for having written the same. I further request that you publish this on the first page of your next issue. (Signed) Darrington Weaver, M. D. COLORED OFFICERS ARREST A FAKE EMPLOYMENT AGENT Virgil Meyers, Kendell, alias John Clark, 18, old, 1523 Clark, was arrested by officers Logan and Waller this week, charged with defrauding. Colored women. Meyers represented himself as agent for a shirt company, that does not exist. He promised the women a salary of $12 a week for 8 hours work on condition that they pay him $5 for the contract. Meyers made the mistake of calling at officer Waller's home. It is stated that several women have been duped into paying him money. A warrant was issued against him Thursday morning. The police authorities have been having considerable trouble with take agents and confidence men preying upon Colored women anxious to work. They should take warning and avoid strangers with easy propositions. HAGAN RECITAL APRIL 23. Will Be Given at Y. W. C. A. Gymnastum—Artistic Treat Promised—Selections Varied. Miss Helen E. Hagan has arranged for her recital on the 23d at the Y. W. C. A. a program that would be hard to beat. There are selections on the program which would test the skill of any musician and which would interest the most skillful critic. Some of the selections which appear on the program "Deep River" and the "Bamboula" (African Dance), by S. C. O'eridge Taylor, and Debusy's "Reflections in the Water" and "Rain in the Gardens," along with the selections by Schumann and Greig and other well-known composers. In the selections of the program Miss Hagan has shown herself an artist for her program has been arranged to appeal to all groups. Mrs. Zelle Cofe Evans, accompanied by Mr. Gerald Tyrall and Mf. James Campbell, will sing two selections. The appearance of Mrs. Evans, who is St. Louis' favorite soprano, will add charm to the program. From 8 to 8:30 moving pictures will be shown. We feature the prediction that: the hundreds who will hear Miss Hagan will feel that the program is worth far more than the quarter, which is the price of admission.

He drew a picture in his discourse of the thirty-six years that Jim Cole had lived happily with his wife, and contrasted the picture by saying that the young and rich debenture of the present day, would rush into wedlock and within a year would be rushing into the divorce court. The funeral arrangements were under the direction of the Catholic Knights of America and the interment was in Calvary Cemetery. The pall bearers represented three of the organizations of which the deceased was a member. Two were from the Catholic Knights, two from the Peerless Knights and two from the Caterer Waiters. Each organization was also represented by four honorary pall bearers. The deceased leaves a wife, three daughters and a son and other relatives and a host of friends to mourn his loss. --- The recent order issued by command of Maj. Gen. Ballou, division commander of the Twenty-ninth Division, Camp Fuson, Kan., in which officers and men are advised that "No useful purpose will be served by any action upon their part that will cause the color question to be raised," and admonishing them to "Refrain from going where their presence will be resented," has caused a cold chill to be cast on the spirited patriotism of the Negro citizens of the country. Although protests have come from all directions there is no indication that the Colored patriots, who are in the fight heart and soul to make the "world safe for democracy," are going to relax one bit from continuing in history's greatest human effort. The following is a copy of the order: Headquarters Ninety-second Division, Camp Fuson, Kan. Bulletin No. 35- If it should be well known to all Colored officers and men that no useful purpose is served by such acts as will cause the "color question" to be raised. It is not a question of legal rights, but a question of policy, and any policy that tends to bring about a conflict of races, with its resulting animosities is prejudicial to the military interest of the Ninety-second Division, and there fore prejudicial to an important interest of the Colored race. 2. To avoid such conflicts the Division Commander has repeatedly urged that all Colored members of his command, and especially the officers and noncommissioned officers, should refrain from going where their presence will be resented. In spite of this injunction, one of the Sergeants of the Medical Department has, recently, preempted the precise trouble that should be avoided, and then called on the Division Commander to take sides in a row NEW COUNCIL OF THEA.U.K.&D.OFA. National Grand Master, William Herbert Fields, of the A. U. K. and D. A. assisted by the National Grand Recorder, Dr. Ggo. M. Cathtell, National Grand Treasurer, Ernest Tattillo, National Deputy Grand Queen, Mrs. Julia Cordell, State Grand Queen, Mrs. Ala Harrod, E. L. Westbrook, National Grand Guard of E. St. Louis, Ill., Mrs. Elizabeth Westbrook, Most Excellent Queen of Rising Sun Council, East St. Louis, Illinois, Mrs. Margery Holly, Most Excellent Queen of St. Joseph Council, Mrs. Sarah Mountjoy, financial secretary of St. Joseph Council and Mrs. Susie Jamison, chaplain, Mrs. Lee Johnstone, Princess of St. Joseph Council, and Mrs. Cora A. Carter, set up next Wednesday night a large council to be known in the future as Magnolia Council No. 294. Mrs. Eva Bailey, of Hopewell Council, was the principal contributor to the new organization's membership roster. After the setting up a great repast of seven courses was served to the new members, grand officers and assistants. The new council gives promise of being one of the best councils of the order. Grand Master Fields immediately after moving in to the new quarters informed the members of the National Executive Board that he intended to organize a council in the immediate neighborhood of the beautiful headquarters located at the southwest corner of Lucas and Lefflingwell. Avenues and he has kept his word. The officers of the new council are Mrs. Eva Bailey, Most Worthy Auditress of Hopewell Council, Most Excellent Queen, and the following named persons are members of the new Magnolia Council: Mrs. Hattie Watkins. Miss. Madelina Webb. Mrs. Lincille Smith. Miss. Julia Smith. Mrs. Alberta Franklin. Mrs. Laura Shelby. Mrs. Vergie Cole. Mrs. Bertha Martin. Mrs. Climmie Garrett. Mrs. Luvina Soils.

Mr. Henry Daily. that should, never have occurred, and would not have occurred had the Sergeant placed the general good above his personal pleasure and convenience. This Sergeant entered a theater, as he undoubtedly had a legal right to do and precipitated trouble by making it possible, to allege race discrimination in the seat he was given. He is strictly within his legal rights in this matter, and the theater manager is legally wrong. Nevertheless, the Sergeant is guilty of the greater wrong in doing anything, no matter how legally correct, that will provoke race animosity. 3. The Division Commander repeats that the success of the division, with all that the success implies, is dependent upon the good will of the public. That public is nine tenths white. White men made the division, and they can break it just as easily if it becomes a trouble maker. 4. All concerned are again enjoined to place the general interest of the division above personal pride and gratification. Avoid every situation that can give rise to racial ill will. Attend quietly and faithfully to your duties, and don't go where your presence is not desired. 5. This will be read to all organizations of the Ninety-second Division. By Command of Maj. Gen. Ballon. Allen J. Groer. Lieutenant Colonel; General Staff. Chief of Staff. The National Association, for the Advancement of Colored People, through its secretary, has addressed a letter to the War Department, directing the attention of the department to the order as most unjust, humiliating and inexpedient.

Miss Julia P. James District Deputy Grand Matrue Y. M. C. A. HINDERED BY. DELIN QUENT SUBSCRIBERS. MONEY NEEDED NOW By the end of the next week the fourth story of the Y. M. C. A. will doubtless be completed. Work is being pushed, but could be carried forward even faster provided the funds were paid in by the subscribers more rapidly than they have been. As one of the Y. M. C. A. workers mid to the Artus reporter, "The subscribers should not wait to be dunned for the money which they voluntarily subscribed but should send in their subscriptions as readily as they made their pledge." If each subscriber would pay one dollar a week it would help greatly in pushing the building to final completion. The Y. M. C. A. is planning soon to publish a list of all those who pay in full their subscriptions and to those names each week will be added those who pay. This will serve as a stimulus for every man wants the world to know that he keeps his word. On next Sunday at the old Y building a meeting will be held. To this meeting all subscribers who can are urged to attend. The meeting comes at 4 p.m. Members and team workers should also be present. An Exponent Or Truth and Justice PRICE 5 CENTS FRANCE FAMOUS 8TH- ILLINOIS REGT. HAS SAILED Several Prominent Young St. Louis Men Included In The 370th U. S. Infantry. Officers All Colored. A commendous and palatial United States transport stemmed magnificently away from an Atlantic port not many days ago, carrying over the sea, the famous St Illinois Infantry U.S. National Guards, now known as the 370th Infantry. Many friends and relatives were there to bid the brave boys farewell and as the band played "Illinois," a great cheer went up from the Colored soldiers who have volunteered to help make the world safe for Democracy and Democracy safe for all people, regardless of race or color. The 370th is now "somewhere in France." If the Kaiser and his "Koltut" followers hold out for another six months, the Colored boys will be in the first line trenches and going "Over the Top" with history makers of all other races. Unlike the drafted regiments, the Old Eighth carries a special honor; all its officers from Colored down to the lowest non-com are Colored. It was recruited to fall strength, while in Houston, Texas, with volunteers from all over the country. St Louis furnished her share, among whom are: Wm. Harry Debbs and Robert Buck, formerly connected with the Argus; Harry Douglas, druggist; LeRoy Martin, formerly operator at the Booker Washington; LeRoy Williams, of Williams and Sons, undertakers; Engene S. Clark, son of Attorney Crittenden Clark; George Clark, Ottis Lawson and others. The boys left in good spirit, but they fully realized the grave duty they had volunteered to perform. They are determined to do their duty and they hope to be remembered by their friends whom they left behind. NEW EMPLOYMENT AID SOCIETY The Southern Progressive Aid Society, was permanently organized last Tuesday night at 3:02a Lawton, and the following officers elected: George W. Gardner, pres; Robert Clark, sec.; Ross Rose Jefferson, treas. The object of the society is to provide regular employment for all who become members. The society will investigate the character and habits of all applicants, for membership so it can recommend them to employers and protect them against unjust treatment. BANNIKEKER SCHOOL TO THE FRONT Bannister School, one of the largest in the city, went "Over the Top" for the Junior Red Cross today. "This school is centrally located and is well attended.

Dear Sir: I hiccoughed for 48 hours without ceasing, became very weak and sore in my stomach and chest, was losing my speech and strangue to say, after taking one dose of Embrocation I didn't hiccoug any more.

As sincere, or is it a case, where In these strenuous times of atrife when all the world is in a turmoil, when men are giving their lives for real freedom, let us not forget that the Negro race aside from giving their best manhood for the cause of a world Democracy, has a desperate and stubborn battle to fight within the bounds of our own beloved country. The demon prejudice has for years had its forces arrayed against us as a race; and even now, when black men are going to uphold the honor and glory of this country, prejudice stalks abroad in the land of the free and the home of the brave, seeking in a manner to devour the Negro race. Color prejudice has for years wielded its unjust influence with the aim of civilization. It has wound its gripping folds around the cause of Christianity.

We are heartily in accord with the press of the country and hope that they will keep up the hue and cry against lynchings. It is right that they should. Every newspaper is doing a patriotic duty and standing by the principles of the Constitution when it speaks out against mob murder. We are pleased as well as proud to at last realize the day when the press of the country has taken such a stand, and believe that the shades of the thousands of Negro innocents who have been the victims of ruthless mobs will at least realize that American citizens are coming into their own. If the press of the country will, move heaven and earth to try to bring to justice the lynchers of an enemy alien, they surely cannot do less for an American citizen, even if he is a Negro. Is the press sincere, or is it a case, where it depends on whose Ox is gored? CHURCHES "All hail the powers of Jesus name! Such is the examination of the members and friends of the Old First Baptist Church; who on next Sunday afternoon, April 21, with church banners flying, drama lighting and gorgeous array of the various scents and benevolent societies of the city, will march to her new home and palatial church edifice on the southwest corner of Vardinal and Bell avenue. These have been very, very busy days for the pastor and members of the old mother church, for it was compulsory that $10,000 be raised and made as the first payment before we entered the building. This has been done, and moving day has begun. The white congregation from whom we purchased the property began moving Monday morning and have about finished at this writing. Our services will begin next Sunday with sunrise prayer meeting; Sunday school at 9:30 a.m.; regular 11 a.m. steapties. At 9:30 a.m. sharp the procession will start to our new home, by going west on Clark avenue to Fifteenth street, north on Fifteenth street to Pine, west on Pine street to Tabernacle Bapt Church, where the ladies of the different organizations will get in line, and from thence to the church. We extend a cordial invitation to the public to come, out and help us. All members are urged to be present Sunday morning and attend the last services in the "old church." B. Y. P. U. services at 6:30 p.m. will be held at the new church." Too much praise cannot be given to our beloved pastor, Rev. O. C. Maxwell, who just eight months ago was called to the pastorate of the First Baptist Church. Not only has he succeeded in raising the required $10,000 for the new church, but every other financial requirement has been met and paid, and today we joyfully sing, "Praise God from whom all blessings flow."

"Christ is our Rock, Refuge and Redeemer," said Bishop Phillips to the congregation Sunday morning. All through his sermon the Bishop quoted Pannin's song and used the veneer to make striking illustrations. "I'm Goddog Home," Bishop Phillips favorite song, was sung at the close of the sermon and made a great impression on the congregation, 13 new members being added. Long before the speaker took the stand the main auditorium was crowded and the people were filling the hallway. Bishop Phillips was in fine trim and delivered ungrand sermon, the same type of sermon that has held his audience spellbound for so many years past, and made him H. of J. Anniversary THE WOMEN'S WEEKLY The above is a likeness of Mrs. Grant Bledsoe of 2830 Morgan St., Most Ancient Matron of Naomi Court, No. 49, H. of J., and president of the St. Louis District of the Women's Home and Foreign Missionary Society. Mrs. Bledsoe has entered the ticket selling contest for Naomi Court, which will celebrate its Thirtieth Anniversary Thursday evening, April 25th. She has a host of friends and all are rallying to her support in this contest. a leader of men. Sunday evening Rev. Smith preached from the subject, "Law and Grace." After the sermon the captains all took their places before the congregation, for this was to be the windup of the three weeks' contest. There were 12 clubs and boards in the contest and the one raising the highest amount was to receive a ticket to Chicago to attend the General Conference, which convenes May 1. Following are the reports as Bishop Phillips read them from the rostrum: Stewardess Board No. 2, Mrs. Cora Marsh, president, Mrs. Willie Brooks, secretary; $300; Usher Board, Mrs. Robert Pitman, Mrs. Belle Duvall, $159; Stewart, ard Board, W. H. Brown, A. L. Garder; $140; Stewardess Board No. 1, Mrs. Amanda Hunt, Mrs. J. W. Francis, $188.60; Seruggs Progressive Club, Mrs. Susie Mason, Miss Elgic Tyler, $136.85; Trustees' Auxiliary Board, Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Ruth Sparks, $120; Philly Wheatley Club, Mrs. Sara Tutt, Mrs. Lilian Wilson, $100.50; Pastor's Aid Society, Mrs. Mary Hunter, Mrs. R. H. Maupin, $100; Wild Rose Club, Miss Myrtle, Payne, Miss Mandelle Tibbs, $64.31; Trustees' Board, Mr. A. Jordan, Mr. Jno. Carter, $53; L. S. Person Club, Mr. J. C. Campbeb, Mrs. R. H. Ward, $52; Willing Workers' Club Mrs. Cora Manning, Mrs. Jessica Cavness, $36. These reports made a total of $1,400.26. The Sunday school adder $20 and the Epworth League $4.71 making a total of $1,425. Class services every Friday evening Stewardess Board No. 2 The board's sweeping victory will be a great lesson to the clubs and boards in future contests. Every board that had over $130 was sure they had won the prize. Struggle Progressive Club, with $137, was certain they were safe. Why not? The rally had only been on for three weeks and the assessment was only $110, $37 over would surely win. Next came Stewardess Board No.1 with $138. Certainly no club had this much money. The Steward Board, with $140, had surely won, and were very careful not to even hint what they had, but would wait until the eleventh hour and surprise the entire church. The Usher Board, with $159, was so sure of victory that they secured a banner to hoist among their jubilant members amid their triumph. The banner might be used on some future occasion, but it didn't have a ghost of a chance Sunday night, for Stewardess Board No.2 had broken all past records and raised $300. "Victory belongs to the most persevering," said Napoleon, on one occasion, but the General who defeated him at Waterloo said, "It takes hard pounding to win great victories." Bismarck said there were three ingredients that made up the secret to victory and success. When asked what they were, he replied: "The first is work, the second is work and the third is the same as the other two." No doubt Mrs. Marsh, Mrs Lausa-Murphy and Mrs. Willie Brooks with the remaining members of the Stewardess Board No.2, can witness with the three speakers mentioned above, for it certainly took perseverance hard work and hard pounding to win their great victory. It was a great rally and every club did fine. ST. PAUL A. M. E. CHURCH NOTES Dr. -C. A. Johnson of Birmingham, Ala., brother of our own Dr. W. B. Johnson arrived in the city last Friday morning.

He selected for his text, Acts first chapter and eighth verse, and we soon discovered that he was master of the situation. A more appropriate text for the beginning of a revival could not have been selected by anyone. There were some new features brought out that will forever live in the hearts of those who heard him, Sunday morning and Sunday night. He has sole charge of the meeting and with the assistance of Bro. Stanley and his chorus of 50 voices and prayer meeting conducted by Sister Rose, one of the old veterans of the church, success is assured. The inclement weather Tuesday evening failed to keep the members from turning out in large numbers to hear this eminent divine Hear Dr. Johnson Sunday morning and if possible be with us next week and help us to win souls for the Master. In another column will be found a report of the rally, and its will be seen who were the leaders in this great contest. The pastor not only thanks the members of St. Paul Church for this marvelous effort, but he has expressed himself as being highly pleased with the contributions made by others who were not members of the church. E. Hawkins, Secretary. MT. OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH 1429 N. Twelfth Street. We were very agreeably surprised on last Sunday morning by a visit paid us by Rev. Wm. Johnson of Pleasant Green Baptist, who prescheduled a goodly sermon from the text, "What shall I render unto God for all His benefits toward me!" Ps. 116:12. Rev. Johnson unearthed long-felt wants and needs while exhorting to praise of God.

AN APPEAL TO THE TWELVE MILLION NEGROES OF THE UNITED STATES Our Nation is engaged in a war for its very existence. To win this war we must save food, grow great crops of foodstuffs and substitute other foods for those most easily shipped to our associates in this war and our own soldiers in France, thousands of whom are men of your own race. The Food Administration realizes that the Negro people of this Nation can be of the utmost help in food conservation and food production. Every Negro man, woman and child can render a definite service by responding to the appeal and instructions of the Food Administration and its representatives. The Negroes have shown themselves loyal and responsive in every national crisis. Their greatest opportunity of the present day, to exercise this loyalty, is to help save and grow food. I am confident that they will respond to the suggestions of the Food Administration and thus prove again their patriotism for the winning of this war.

An Argus reporter called at the resi all kinds of hair oils, toilet waters and deines of Mr. W. H. Davis, in Mornie perfumer THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS weit at Y Gregory-Da An Argus reporter called at the residence of Mr. W. H. Davis, in Mornica. forthecoming marriage, which was announced some time ago that it would take place in April. Mr. Davis was very reluctant about making any statement whatever for publication, but referred the reporter to Miss Gregory for a statement. Mr. Davis finally admitted that cards were out announcing that the marriage would be solemnized on Tuesday evening, April 30th. As we were about to leave, Mr. Davis asked us if we would like to look through the house. On entering the reception hall, we were amazed at the beautiful patriotic decorations which had been arranged for a reception given in honor of the twenty graduates of the Summer High evening school. From the reception hall, we entered the living room which was also patriotically decorated, the glare of the five light electric showers, the rays of the gas grate, and the flags and cut flowers on the cabinet mantle gave the room a beautiful appearance. An other set of shining doors were thrown open, through which we entered the library which was also decorated. The globes on the fivelight electric showers had been hand painted to harmonize with the wall paper, with the addition of the large electric reading lamp on the library table gave the room the appearance of a fairyland. From the library we entered the east room, which will be the bed room. This room is a dream, the wall paper was purchased from a large firm in Chicago which make a specialty of artistic decorations. From the east room we entered the guest room, the draperies of which was artistically arranged. After leaving the guest room, we came to a stairway which led down to another large hall, from which you can enter the dining room, kitchen, the majid's room, the billiard room, and through the billiard room to the laundry and furnace room. Mr. Davis informed us that he had the house built according to his own plans and specifications. We re-entered the main floor and were shown through the laboratory of the "Presto" Toilet Mfg. Co., which had the appearance of a drug store. This firm manufactures One year ago, April 15, 1917, our beloved husband, Burl A. Macadam, passed out of his mortal house of clay and took up his abode in a life that continues in the spirit of spirit. Common parlance would say that he died. But he did not die. We behold him daily as a bright progressive spirit interested and busy in the affairs and guidance of his beloved yet in earth. On this first anniversary of his birth into higher life, we thus publicly express our continued loving memory, and a happy anticipation of rejoining him, when, according to the ways of nature, we, too, shall be called to arise and take our place in the higher life. We also take this occasion, to express our thanks and great appreciation of the faithful manner in which the different Orders: Pythians; Odd Fellows and Musons, met every obligation due him, and paid all that was due me as the widow of their brother. After such faithfulness on their part we cannot but feel that no true husband or man can afford to remain outside the protection of such organized brotherhood. And to you, dear husband, we also express thanks. For the love that you left us in broth- erhood ranks. We appreciate the loves in which thy spirit returns near. Demonstrating a truth which you learned of us here. Such spirit return links heaven with earth. And teaches that death is none other than birth. The "Spiritual Birth" into a life im- mortal. The continued life that awaits men mortal. Hence welcome, dear husband is thy "Spirit Return." It soothes our loneliness and forbids us to mourn. As the Jesus did, promise, its the & Comforter Come. To brighten our pathway, till our earth's work is done. Caroline Armstead. IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of our mother and grandmother, Mary J. Guthrie, who departed this life April 17, 1914. It was so hard to give you up. But you are with Christ our Savior Who has called you home to rest. The golden gate was wide open; A gentle voice said, come; An angel from the other side Welcomed dear grandmother home. The Savior called her And she was content to go. And passed away without a mourn. How sweetly she sleeps now. She will be waiting at the pearly gates To say good bye no more. Sleep on dear grandmother, And take the rest. I love you dearly. But God loved you best. Dear Grandmother, thou art gone, To a brighter and happy home; Why didn't you take us with you And not leave us here alone.

Every pound of poultry raised and every egg lakel releases just so much pork and beef for our armies and allies, according to L. W. Burby, poultry bushman stationed at the agricultural college by the United States department of agriculture. Poultry will not prevent one's growing a garden. Twelve hens confined in a pen big enough for exercise and provided with green feed will furnish a goodly number of eggs for food. A packing box and a little poultry netting are all that is necessary for building a house and run. For egg production a rooster should not be kept, as he is noisy and has a large appetite, but has no influence on the number of eggs produced. The poultry grower should not depend too much on table scraps for feeding his poultry, points out Mr. Burby. Enough feed should be given to keep the birds in good condition and sufficient excess to produce eggs. The hems will eat vegetable peelings and fruit scraps if these are put through the food chopper and mixed with a little mash. A good mash consists of four parts of bran, two parts of shorts, and one part of high grade beef scraps, by weight. Plenty of green feed-should be used. This cuts down the amount of grain necessary. It is desirable to feed to the poultry the green weeds and thinlings from the garden, also the mishapen and wormy vegetables, and tough corn, unfit for human consumption. Potato/Menuus Provide for Use potatoes, urges the United States food administration, making public a menu which provides potatoes from morning until bedtime. Here it is: BREAKFAST Cornmeal mush with dates. Potato and meat cakes (very little meat). Coffee, with milk for children. DINNER Mutton stew. Macedonian of vegetables. Boiled potatoes and lettuce salad. SUPPER Soup with potato crotons. Puffy omelet with tomatoes. Scotch fancies and chilled fruit. Potato crottons are made this way: To one cupful of mashed potato add one egg, yolk and beat well together. Spread half an inch thick on fat oilled platter and when cold cut in two-inch squares, then each square diagonally to form triangular pieces. Brush over with milk and brown lightly in the oven or in a very little fat in the frying pan. Lemons Yield Citric Acid. The production of citric acid on a commercial scale from cull lemons has been solved by the United States department of agriculture. Citric acid prepared in this way has been sold at a price several cents above the market. Orange pulp for the manufacture of marmalade has been prepared and methods for preparing citrus peel for the market developed by the United States bureau of chemistry.

TO GROW LONG STRAIGHT HAIR TO GROW LONG STRAIGHT HAIR You Need A Real Scalp Food There are so many so-called hair 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, be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Seeby's Quinade 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. Quinade 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 Quinade, it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasoap. Quinasoap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally cocoanut oil, and is a thorough cleaner. Quinasoap 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 Quinade and Seeby's Quinasoap, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your druggist or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them for you from his wholesaler, or send us the price and we will mail them to you. Write to-Seeby Drug Co. 79 East 130th street, New York City, for a sample of Quinade mentioning the name of this paper.—Adv. Men and women to sell J. and M. cleaning soap.

Nelson, President of NO MORE NO LESS PETER H. 2753 WALNUT ST (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER. D. D. TEACHER. P. E. English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (Copyright 1918, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR APRIL 21 JESUS TRANSFIGURED, OR A FOREGLEAM OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD. I TEXT-Mark 9:2-23. C TEXT-This is my beloved Bo Him-Mark 9:2. PRIMARY TOPIC-With Jesus on the mountain. INTERMEDIATE TOPIC-Meeting difficulties with prayer. ADDITIONAL MATERIAL-James 1:18-18. SENIOR AND ADULT TOPIC-Vision and service. The hopes of the disciples were crushed when Christ announced his death on the cross. They were unable to see how victory could issue from death. Jesus took with him Peter. James and John, and went into the mountain apart by themselves. According to Luke, they went there to pray (Luke 9.28). While doubtless, he longed for fellowship and sympathy as the shadows of the cross were falling upon him, his chief desire was to get the disciples apart and into a state of receptivity, so that he might show them the methods of the kingdom. Before going into the mountain, he declared that there were some standing in his presence who would not taste of death till they had seen the kingdom of God come with power (v. 1). That their drooping spirits might be revived and their confidence restored, he was transfigured before them. The disciples sorely needed such a vision. If the faith of the disciples was to be kept through the dark hour of the cross which was looming large before them the light of the eternal must beam forth. The discipline now, as then, needs a glimpse of the glory beyond the cross in order to face the issues of the hour. I. Jesus Christ Glorified on the Mountain. (vv. 2, 3). He took his disciples "by themselves" and was "transfigured before them." This shows the purpose terminated upon the disciples and not upon himself. Christ's rebuke of Peter for his unwillingness to hear concerning his death apparently for a time estranged the disciples from him. To heal this breech, an unusual transaction was required. His "shining ralment" was typical of that glory which shall be manifest when he comes back to the earth. II. Peter, James and John Represent Israel in the Flesh in Connection With the Kingdom. (v. 2). Christ is peculiarly the King of Israel. According to Ezekiel 37:11-27, they are to be the central people in the kingdom. This people shall be gathered from among the nations, united as one in that kingdom in their own country. III. Moses and Ellas Appeared in Glory With Jesus (vv. 4-13). These men in the glorified state are typical of the state of the saints in glory. Moses, who was once denied an entrance to Palestine, appears now in glory, representing the redeemed of the Lord who shall pass through death into the kingdom. The thousands of the Lord who have fallen asleep, at Christ's coming shall be awakened and pass into the kingdom through translation. Many shall be living upon the earth when the Lord shall come, and they, without dying, shall be changed and pass into the kingdom (1 Cor. 15:50-53; 1 Thess. 4:14-18). 1. Peter's foolish proposal (vv. 5, 6). Moses and Ellas, who had been a long time in glory, would be ill at home in a tabernacle on the mountain-side. It would have been to Peter's credit to have been silent, since he knew not what to say. 2. The Divine voice out of the cloud (vv. 7, 8). He is declared to be the beloved Son in whom God is well pleased. When one desires to know what please God, look at his perfect Son, Jesus Christ. 3. Jesus' charge (vv. 9-13). He instructed them that they should tell no man concerning the things which they had seen until he had risen from the dead. IV. The Mighty Power of the Divine Servant (vv. 14-29). When they descended from the mountain they saw a great multitude in a state of perplexity. The immediate cause of their perplexity was the grievous state of a young man who was possessed with a demon (v. 18). The father of the young man had appealed to the disciples to cast the demon out, but they were unable. When they brought him to Jesus, the foul spirit was rebuked (v. 25), and came forth. This young man's state is representative of the nations who are oppressed by the devil. The people were grievously oppressed. There are times when the devil is especially active in the oppression of men. During Christ's sojourn on earth he seems to have been very active, and we have reason to believe from the Scriptures that just preceding his second coming he will be even more active; for he knows that his time is short. One of the ominous signs of the imminent coming of the Lord is the almost universal activity of the devil among the nations in this hour. When he comes he will cast out the demons, and the saints shall be brought into the kingdom, which he will establish (fss. 11:10-12).

Make Your Own Sugar By the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture By the use of ordinary kitchen equipment many people are in a position to make up the average of 81 pounds of sugar, which is the average each person in the United States used last year. A few sugar maple trees, well-kept colonies of bees, a hundred feet of sugar beets raised in the garden, or a small patch of sweet sorghum, and surplus apples which might go to waste unless made into apple syrup may each be made to contribute to the sugar supply. The present limited sugar supply can be increased if many more families, in regions where the sugar maple crops, would each make maple syrup or sugar from ten or more maple trees. Ten trees, under ordinary conditions, can be expected to yield about four gallons of syrup or thirty pounds of sugar. Maple sugar making is an art the pioneer settlers of America learned from the Indians and for years it has been a home and farm industry. The process is not, so complicated that anyone who has the opportunity need hesitate to try it. Find a sugar maple tree ten or more inches in diameter; bore a hole three-eights of an inch or slightly more in diameter; insert a metal spout or one made by punching the pith from a section of elder; set a bucket under it that the sap may collect; boil this down in a kettle or shallow pan on a kitchen stove to the proper density for maple stirrup. If sugar is preferred, boil it down further until it is quite thick, taking care that it does not burn, and let it crystallize. "Sugar weather" often starts by the middle of February in the southern part of the sugar maple region. The first sap is sweetest. There is no time to be lost in talking; get ready to take advantage of the first warm, sunny days. "Old timers" say the outlook is good for a good sugar season. Prediction That Whiskers London newspapers are predicting the full beard will come into fashion both in Europe and America as a result of the war. War always has influenced the style of whiskers, observes the Louisville Courier, even in the time of Alexander the Great, who required his soldiers to shave off their beards because a beard was a handle which, an enemy could seize. The Crimean war in the fifties brought the full beard into fashion again. In the campaign British soldiers spent months in the trenches where they had no chance to shave. Their beards grew and grew and they wore them when they returned to England. The English papers say that many soldiers, coming home from the trenches are bearded, and, unless precedents fall, the full beard is going to come into fashion again. Should our American troops return from the war with beards, we may look for that fashion to become prevalent again in America as it did after the Civil war. Coal Gas for Motor Fuel. Probably the first motor car in America to use coal gas as fuel is a New York machine that has an 8 by 45-inch steel tank mounted on one of its running boards, says the Popular Mechanics Magazine. The cylinder, when charged to a pressure of about 2,000 pounds to the square inch, carries sufficient fuel to drive the machine about one hundred and twenty miles. For automobile propulsion, compressed gas at 80 cents a thousand feet is said to be about 25 per cent cheaper than gasoline at 28 cents a gallon. This comparison is based on mileage rather than thermal units. Calling cards, bills and letterheads, see us.

This does not mean there are not other qual ities displayed, for, taken as a whole, the bill is one of the host in vaudeville that has been seen this season. Johnson and Rector, man and woman, open the show with a repertoire of songs, dances and rapid life conversation that scores well with the patrons. Mr. Rector sings a sarcasm on Kaiser Bill entitled "a Devil Has Bought You All the cool" and gets a good blink. The pair, sing "The Story Book, Bull," which is an novel Mother Goose narrative, and close with a soft shoe dance displaying artistic talent. Billy Higgins is a top-notch comedian, keeps the upbeat timing with his eccentric actions and humorous sayings. His originality appeals to the crowd and they cater to his audience. He is nearly stopping the show singing Tom Turpin's new patriotic composition, "When Nathan Goes to France." Edwards and Edwards and their mixed team, make a hit, primarily through the recounttittee of the man who is billed as "Butter Beaus." This individual has a hagh in every action. They sing a few good songs, prey on a bit, and close with an eccentric dance that goes good. King Bassett Braun and Babe Grice two men, close the show with a whirl- wind of buck dancing this most about cleans up any doubts as to who is the champion. Both are glisten, but of course Bassett, the star and because of late claims, and compunctions bea- competitor, he is going the limit this week. When he finishes one is willing to believe he has seen about all the steps in the terrace,廊帘 att; but Brown claims to be able to show 318 different movements in 18 minutes. He does a 4 minute start at the Booker Washington this week and offers 72 vari- tutes. If you don't believe it, count 'em. Grice is some dancer, himself and fits well into the act, which takes the house by storm. Next·Week Another good bill has been booked for the Booker Washington Theatre next week. On the program will be Fannie Wise, the sweet singing favorite, with a repertoire of new songs. Clifford Ross, a monologist star; Solomon and Solomon, the robust comedian and singer with the dafty maid; and another high class act to round out an AI show. Another good week is in store for the patrons. AMATEUR SLEUTHS TRACE TRACKS OF MYSTERIOUS LION Sidewalks in Central District Covered Last Friday Morning. Traced to Booker Washington Theatre Where Big Poster. Announces Cofhing of Marie Walcamp in a New Serial, "The Lion's Claws." Next Wednesday, April 24. Early risers were surprised last Friday morning to find a trail of footprints, resembling lion's claws, on the sidewalks, in the Market Street district, and all day the question was being asked, "What does it mean?" The mere curious followed the trails to the Booker Washington Theatre, where a big poster announced the coming of Marie Walcamp, the dashing and fearless movie star, in a new thrilling serial, "The Lion's Claws," the first episode of which will be shown at this theatre next Wednesday, April 24. In "The Lion's Claws," Universal has produced the best work of a remarkably successful career. Marie Waltcamp, the star, needs no introduction to the movie-theatre patrons of the entire world, and her supporting cast includes a number of other screen favorites as Edwin August, Ray Hanford. Thomas Lingham, Nigel De Bruillierie Marry-Von Meter, Rex De Roselli, Gertrude Aster, Alfred Allen, Frank Lanning, Charles Brindley, Sam Polo, Leonard Clapham, Sam Appel and a large aggregation of wild animals with which Marie Waltcamp does some of the most remarkable work of her remarkable career.

German propaganda, an abundance of foreign spies, the British Secret Service and the British Army, with a threatened Holy War, due to the machinations of the spies, brings the story right up to the minute and of the present-world war. An attack by *bion* upon Marie Walcamp, which resulted in the popular litter actress receiving a scar she will carry for life, provides the title for the new, Universal adventure serial, "The Lion's Claws," and was also the cause of a change being made in the plot to make a girl with a scar a feature. "The Lion's Claws" is a story of Africa with a multitude of lions, tigers, leopards, elephants and other jungle beasts introduced in the action and handled by "Daredevil Marie," as Miss Waleamp is known throughout the world. Central Powers spies are active even in Africa, and several new angles of the present world war are also incorporated in the plot. Don't forget the first episode will be shown at the Booker Washington next Wednesday and an episode every Wednesday thereafter. SPECIAL PICTURES COMING TO AT THE COMET Another program of specially select ed high class pictures has been arranged for the Pendleton Theatre next week. On next Sunday."The Honor System," a William Fox photoplay melo drama will be shown. "The Honor System" deals with a career of a young American, educated, honorable and refined, who goes to seek his fortune in the great Southwest. There he encounters friends and enemies, the stories of graft and cruelty, as well as the noble at heart. The big action is maintained through a series of extraordinary adventures which, however, are not adventures at all, but transcripts of fact of life as it is actually lived beyond the pale and far from long-established communities. The love interest is said to be delightful, and the comedy touches are numerous. There is nothing in drama that can be compared with this new sort of film play. In its bigness and universality of quality it reminds one of such great biographical novels as "David Copperfield" and "Les Misérables." Monday, a big patriotic drama, "Over There," will be shown. It is a beautiful story of love and war, with all the thrills incident to the big struggle now going on. "There is so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of us"--you know the old familiar quotation, so why tell it all over again. This recalls the fact that Two gun Bill Hart's posttrax the role of a good man, but with all the snap of his two gun career in "Wolves of the Rail." It is an entirely new characterization in which you will see him at the Pendleton Theater on Tuesday, April 23d. On Thursday, Douglas Fairbanks will be seen in his new Artertrait picture, "Down to Earth," written by himself. This is an interesting picture. William Farnum, in "The Conqueror," will be shown at the Pendleton next Friday. This picture is a thrilling Indian play, with several thousand Indians, Mexicans and livestock. In the battle scenes, in which a hundred cannon were used, the effects are tremendous. The above story is one of infinite charm and the dramatic action builds to a climax calculated to make every spectator gasp for breath. "THE WOMAN IN THE WEB" AT THE "COMBET" AND "MOVIE" Following "The Fighting Trail" and "Vengeance and the Woman," Greater Vitagraph has produced a new serial, "The Woman in the Web," which not only is equal to those two wonderful serials but positively the greatest serial of adventure ever produced. Like the others, "The Woman in the Web" is in 15 episodes, and will be shown at the New Comet Theatre every Monday commencing Monday, April 22, also at the New Movie Theatre every Thursday, following "The Vengeance and the Woman," commencing Thursday, April 25.
