ST. LOUIS COLORED MEN SELECTED FOR NEXT DRAFT WILL LEAVE FOR CAMP FUNSTON 9 P.M., THIS MONDAY, APRIL 29 The People's Paper The Trade Maker VOL. VII, NO. 2 ST. LOUIS LEAVE A CAMPAIGN FOR FIR 50,000 ADDITION TO THE N. A. A.C.P. BIG EFFORT IS MOOREFIELD STORY'S PAY FOR THROTTLING SEGREGATION—LOCAL BRANCH CALLS UPON ST. LOUIS TO "DO ITS BIT." "If to the master's plea he gave The vast contempt his manhood felt, He saw a brother in the slave. With man as equal man he dealt. "And, when the hour supreme had come, Not for himself a thought he gave; In that last pang of martyrdom, His care was for the half-freed slave." These two stanzas, so truthfully descriptive of the prime of life and hour of death of Charles Sumner, are also of value in consideration of the life of another man. This man, as a boy, was in the law office of Senator Sumner as messenger and student and there became ardent disciple of the great man who 'was his patron. There is ample reason to believe that, when Charles Sumner stifled his death-rattle to implore, "Do not let my Civil Rights Bill fail," his prayer sank deeper into the health of that disciple, Moorfield Story, than it did into the sentiments of those who enacted a weak substitute that withered to nothing under the sunlight of law. Through the years that have passed since Summer fell in death, Moorfield Story, the office underling, has grown in powers, and fame to giant size. President of The American Bar Association, the greatest body of lawyers under civilization, he resolutely entered the Supreme Court of the United States (whose record shows approval of the Fugitive Slave Law, the Dred Scott decision, annulment of equal civil rights, endorsement of color disqualification and little else that touches Negro citizenship) and grappled with the concentrated race hate of America and did not loosen his hold until he had throttled segregation To unresurrectable death throughout the United States. Appreciating the value of this great service to human liberty by Moorfield Story—greater in its incentive than the Emancipation Proclamation; greater in its lasting value than the Civil Rights Bill; greater in its practical enforcibility than the XIII, XIV and XV Amendments—the leaders of every Negro community in the United States expressed to him our race's gratitude and asked him what token would be most acceptable to him as evidence of Negro thanks. Here is his answer: "I shall feel best repaid if every branch will join enthusiastically in the effort to secure 50,000 members for the N. A. A. C. F. We need such membership to insure the permanent success of our great movement against race prejudice." Colored women and men of St. Louis, this great man has done the work our souls tried to have done; has done it well; let us pay him the fee he asks. Think you the fee is small! It is large enough to show the bigness of this man. God grant it be not of any size to expose us as a little race. Never mind minor distractions; personal likes or dislikes, just or unjust Forget approval or disapproval of methods, aims and plans and pay Moorfield Story his well-earned fee. There is not one of us but can afford to follow where he leads. The 84 branches of the N. A. A. C. P., from Boston to Los Angeles, are taut with the strain to pay this fee by May 12th, 1918. The St. Louis branch hereby calls on this city to "do its bit." To every church, to every lodge, to every home, to every man, to every woman that is Colored we say: Come and pay the Man who slaughtered segregation the fee we owe him. This fee is easy for us to pay. It is more than gold to him, and in our heart of hearts we believe it will provide a stupendous defense against our enemies in the future. Captains of this, Moorfield, Story Membership Campaign and their aids will be everywhere throughout St. Louis until May 12th, enrolling member. Do not let them meet one slacker. We invite energetic and efficient Colored women and men to volunteer as recruiting officers in this campaign and notify all who will so serve to report at Pythian Temple, 3137 Pine Street, any near week day between the hours of 12 m. and 5 p. m. Supremely confident of the splendid response Colored St. Louis will make to the plea of Moorfield Story, I hereby inaugurate the membership campaign in his name at St. Louis. George B. Vashon, St. Louis Manager, Moorfield Story Membership Campaign, N. A. A. C. P. WEATHER PREDICTIONS For St. Louis and vicinity: Friday, mild, rain probably, Saturday, mild, partly cloudy, Sunday and Monday, fair and mild. Not much change in the temperature. The St. Louis Argus Take Possession of Property at Cardinal and Bell After Impressive Parade Sunday, April 20. Special Meetings All Next Week. History records many remarkable achievements of St. Louis Negroes upon the fields of social, fraternal, commercial, professional, political and religious activity; but the volumes shall be incomplete, whatever else it contains, without the addition of that wonderful achievement of the First Baptist Church in securing the properties of the St. Mark's English Lutheran Congregation at Cardinal and Belle Aves. Last Sunday they marched joyously into their new home, escorted by the Masons, Knights of Pythians, Odd Fellows, Knights of Tabor, Elks, A. U. K, and D. of A., Tabernacles, Households of Ruth, Lady Elks, Courts of Calanthe, U. B. F. & S. M. T., and B. O. of P. P. Pastors Stevens, Perry, Caston, Dunavant, Morris, Parker, Moseley and their congregations were in the line of march. Other ministers not pastoring were also with u. Despite the raw, ( hundreds of faithful followers of the Cross lined up, and with stirring music by three bands, namely, Pythian, Odd Fellows and Union bands, paraded from the old building, 13th and Clark Ave., to Tabernacle Baptist Church, Pine St., of which Dr. Moseley is pastor, and thence to our new home. Old citizens declare that never in the history of the Negroes in St. Louis have they seen such a demonstration by Colored people. Before leaving the old site, pastor Maxwell was presented by Dr. Cole with a bronze shepherd's staff and same was carried by the pastor before his flock as they were led home. A program was rendered in the new home. Speakers, Dr. Curtis, Dr. Caston, Dr. J. Francis Robinson and remarks by other ministers. Sweet and soul-stirring music was rendered by our choir. Meeting each night of the week by various organizations. These meetings will continue all next week. Sunday morning and evening the pastor will preach. Monday night, Municipal night, with Mayor Kiel as guest of honor. Tuesday night, Sunday schools of the city are to be with us, with Mr. Milton Roland, president Sunday School Convention of Antioch Association, presiding. Wednesday night, the B. Y. P. U.'s, and Epworth Leagues of the city are invited. Mrs. Eva G. Bolden will preside. Thursday night, Woman's Missionary societies of the city are expected. Pres. Anna Brown, presiding. Friday night will be home coming night and all members of the mother church and friends are requested to be present. Seven hundred dollars was collected last Sunday.

Published In The Interest Of Colored People CONTRIBUTIONS FOR DEPENDENTS OF OUR SOLDIERS (Special to the Argus) Washington, April 21.—Reports being received here by the National Colored Soldiers' Committee indicates that the Colored people of the country are aroused to the necessity and urgency of responding to its appeal for funds to assist in providing relief for needy dependents of our Colored soldiers. Responses received this past week were most encouraging. Among the contributions received last week was one for $126.60 from the Colored Shriners of Indianapolis, Ind.; $50 from the Chemist Club of Newburgh, N. Y.; $150 from Colored citizens of Cleveland, O.; and a generous check from Supreme Chancellor Green of the Colored Knights of Pythians. As showing the wide extent of the interest taken, your correspondent was shown a check for $10 from one at Pincher Creek, Alberta, Canada, who simply signed himself "A Sympathizer," a generous contribution from one in Key West, Fla., one from Salt Lake City, Utah, and a contribution from the Colored Women's Club of San Francisco, Cal., also a contribution of $10 from one in Charleston, S. C., who simply signed himself "A Friend." In many cities and towns throughout the country Colored women and men are making house to house canvass for pledges, getting churches to take up collections, lodges to contribute, and giving entertainments to help the Committee raise its two million dollars to provide relief for needy dependents of our Colored soldiers. Tremendous interest is being shown throughout the length and breadth of the land in the movement. Ralph W. Tyler, National Secretary of the N. C. S. C. C., who is managing the campaign, is averaging about 15 hours a day on the work. The Committee is organized and incorporated under the laws of Congress. Its system of keeping account of the business is a marvel of efficiency. Tyler having introduced the same system he had in vogue in the office of auditor for the navy when he filled that position. Every contribution, even to a penny, and many have sent the widow's mite, is carded and acknowledged. St. Louis is perhaps the only community of note that has not as yet responded. Washington, April 22—Mrs. Henry Harrison, a prominent white lady in St. Louis, has shown the most encouraging interest in the work of the National Colored Soldiers' Comfort Committee, by doing her bit for it. Many white friends throughout the country have sent substantial contributions The Colored people of Cleveland, Ohio have raised $700 to date. HON. C. M. WHITE'S ST. LOUIS DATES The Hon. C. M. White will arrive in the city May 8 and will be met at the station by a reception committee to be appointed later. The American Woodmen supreme commander will be domiciled at the beautiful home of Commander T. L. Gentry, 3419 Pine street. Wednesday night, May 8, he will speak at the St. Paul A. M. E. Church. Thursday night, May 9, he will speak at Lane Tarnacble, C. M. E. Church, and Friday night, May 10, he will speak at Mt. Zion Baptist Church, on Morgan street. Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock the supreme commander will deliver, an address at the Commonwealth Club on Lawton avenue. The St. Louis Woodmen are making great preparations to entertain large crowds during the visit of their chief. A splendid short program will be rendered each night and refreshments will be served free to the general public each night. Mr. White will maintain office hours each afternoon at the supervisor's office, at 2911 Lawton avenue, where he hopes to meet the public and also the entire membership of the local Camps. T. L. Gentry has been appointed as general chairman to assist Supervisor C. C. Cade in the arrangement of the visit of the distinguished visitor. The officers of the three local camps will meet promptly at 2 o'clock at the supervisor's office Sunday afternoon to assist in putting the finishing touch on the program. After May 1 the supervisor's office at. 2911 Lawton avenue will be open from 8 a. m. till 10 p. m. for the reception of members. C. C. Cade, Supervising Deputy Office, 2911 Lawton avenue. MRS. CELIA PATTON WINS SUIT AGAINST A. B. GREEN AND WIFE Mrs. Celia Patton, 6341 Wagner Ave. filed mit in the county court at Clayton, Mo.; some time ago against A. B. Green and wife, Pauline R. Green, to recover two feet of ground on the east side of her lot. Mrs. Patton sued for $300. A few days ago the decision was handed down in favor of the plaintiff, Mrs. Patton. K. OF P. INFLUENCE IS FAR REACHING 57 MEN TO ENTER THEIR RANKS WHICH RESULTS IN THE ORGANIZATION OF A NEW LODGE — A STATE-WIDE MEMBERSHIP CAMPAIGN IS LAUNCHD. One of the most remarkable incidents to occur in the City of St. Louis happened last Saturday night at the Pythian Temple, on Pine street, when sixty-nine men presented themselves for knighthood in the Pythian organization. They were representative men, for the most part, and among them were doctors, lawyers and citizens to whom the institution has made no mistake in offering its rites and benefits. The degree work was excellently performed by Matthew Compton, Mound City Lodge No. 4, who acted as chancellor commander; Arthur Robinson, grand prelate, Grand Lodge, K. of P. Missouri, vice chancellor; C. M. Pope, vice chancellor, Mound City No. 4; prelate; Lawrence Hawkins, master-at-arms, and others, who composed the initiatory corps. GRAND CHANCELLOR A. W. LLOYD A. W. Lloyd, grand chancellor of the Pythianus of Missouri, gave a short talk, which was punctuated with wholesome advice. He introduced Col. Wm. H. Hughes, who was asked to install the officers. The ceremony was followed by a sumptuous banquet. Grand Chancellor Lloyd is stirring the Pythian activities as never before. He has arranged a membership campaign for the jurisdiction of Missouri and the very beginning was a crowning success. A few months ago an organization of 57 promising young men were knighted and resulted in the establishment of Maclo Lodge. All of which is due to his enturing efforts. The 15 lodges of Southeast Missouri are vicing for numerical strength Those at Charleston, Jefferson City, Poplar Bluff and 'caruthersville continue to receive petitions for membership and the future indications are that their numbers will swell. In 1900 there were 17 K. of Plodges in the State of Missouri. They have today more than 96 in regular standing. St. Louis has 21 subordinate lodges and innies above all other cities in Pythianism. Grand Chancellor Lloyd and Grand Keeper of Record and Seal W. T. Ancel were the honored guests at the Pythian celebration at Pacific M., Miss Wednesday. From that point they journeyed to Sedalia, where a meeting of the Grand Lodge Beneficiary Board was held. The object of the meeting was to consider the purchasing of $6,000 worth of Liberty Logn Bonds. The grand chancellor is president of the Beneficiary Board. Y. M. C. A. AT LANE TABERNACLE The Y. M. C. A. meeting for Sunday will be held at Lane Tabernacle, 3066 Fairpax, at 4 p.m. Dr. Benjamin Young, pastor of the Union M. E. Church will deliver his much talked of address, "Making a Man." Dr. N. L. Smith, the energetic pastor of Lane, will preside, M. Aaron E. Malone, president of the Negro Business League will tell of his experience visiting a number of the Y. M. C. A. of the country. An interesting program has been planned and from all indications the meeting will be a great success. This meeting is a rally to raise funds for the New Y. M. C. A. building. All subscribers especially should attend and do their duty. Some anxiety, has been expressed by many of the full-paid subscribers that more of the subscribers do not pay in full their pledges of the, Y. M. C. A. It is an open secret that the contractors are rushing to finish the new Y. M. C. A., by September, when the Baptist Convention comes, but the policy of the Y. M. C. A., is that no building can be opened with debt on it, so that we may have the spectacle of having our building finished with thousands of visitors in the city, but unable to use it. The Argus reporter believes that the Y. M. C. A., ought to show the slackers up and let the public know who is and who is not doing what they pledged to do. Every one should attend the meeting Sunday and help St. Louis get the "Y" which is needed so badly.

CATHOLIC SOCIETY ENDORSES ANTILYNCHING BILL The Federation of Catholic Societies and Parishes, in semi-annual session in Belleville yesterday, adopted resolutions, condemning "the flagrant and criminal failure" of the Collinsville police to protect Robert Paul Prager, who was lynched by a mob the night of April 5, and calling upon Gov. Lowen to insist on a thorough investigation. The Federation pledged support to the anti-lynching bill, which is pending in Congress, and which provides penalties against any county where a lynching occurs. NEGRO HANGED IN COUET YARD BY TENNESSEE MOB Lexington, Teen, April 22. Berry Noyes, the Negro who shot and killed Sheriff W. E. McBride near here last Saturday, was hanged in the courthouse yard today by a mob. The sheriff sought to arrest Noyes for violating the state prohibition law. After his body was dragged through the streets to the scene of the killing of the sheriff and burned at the stake tonight, the Negro was located late today by a posse in a woods near here, and after barricading himself, resisted his purchers until his ammunition had been exhausted. No one was injured in the exchange of shots. The Negro shot and killed Sheriff McBride Saturday. NEGRO LYNCHED BY LOUISIANA MOB Monroe, La., April 22. Clyde Williams, a Negro, in jail at Fawndale, awaiting trial of charges of shooting C. L. Thomas, Missouri Pattison station agent at Fawndale, several weeks ago, was lynched early today. A mob broke into the jail, took Williams to a tree near the town and hanged him. PRIEST SOUNDS ALARM AGAINST "NEGRO INVADERS" PRIEST SOUNDS ALARM AGAINST "NEGRO INVADERS" The priest of St. Ann's Catholic Church, at Whittier and Page, told his communicants in mass last Sunday morning that the Negroes were "hovering over the white people like airplains over a battlefield." He advised them to rock the invaders out of the neighborhood, and, coming to the front of the chancel, announced that if there were any Negroes in the audience they should know that they were not welcome—to stay away from his church. The home of a Colored family, 4233 W Cook, has been rocked several times in the past few days and considerable damage has been done to windows. Calling cards, bills and letterheads, see us. Argus Print, 2341 Market St. perpts not less than $5000, nor more than ers. ers or persons into whose custody all charge of the prosecution of all constitute a mob. PLAN TO REGISTER ALL MEN 18 TO 45 Amendment To Draft Act Intended For Industrial, Not Military Protection, Disapproved By The President. There is but slight chance that the scheme to register all males from 18 to 45, will be carried out. The plan was merely intended as an industrial move to protect the country from future labor shortage by placing the working men in the hands of the military authorities. Under this rule the idler could be compelled to work. In some quarters the plan has already been discussed as one calculated to place in the hands of the military authorities a weapon with which to break strikes and put down industrial disturbances, and because of probable bitter criticism, the President is said to have disapproved the amendment. Not Needed For Military Service From the 2,000,000 men in Class 1, nearly 20 per cent of the total registration of the country—and an addition of from 500,000 to 1,000,000 who will be added by subjecting to the draft youths reaching their majority since the draft law was enacted, it is the opinion of Gen. Crowder, that the government will secure all the men needed for military service and it is not expected that the draft age will go above 31 years. COLORED WOMEN'S DEFENSE COUNCIL WILL HOLD BIG METING MRS. FOUKE AND MRS. McMIL- LAN TO SPEAK. A very important meeting of the colored Women's Defense Council, will be held Monday, April 29, 1918, at Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church, at 11 a.m. A complete report of the work of the Council will be given, and plans for future work will be made. The special feature of the meeting will be addresses delivered by Mrs. Philip J Boulke, chairman White Women's Council of National Defense, and Mrs Neil McMillan, vice-chairman. All members are urged to be present promptly at 11 a.m., to hear the inspiring addresses. Admission free. Mrs. Victoria Clay Haley, chairman. COLORED WOMEN'S UNIT LAUNCH CAMPAIGN The Colored Women's Unit, Council of National Defense has a campaign on in St. Louis, for the comfort and happiness of our Negro soldiers, home and abroad. We are asking your cooperation in this particular time for a large collection of books, magazines, games, musical instruments and athletic supplies. Executive office. 209 N. Jefferson Ave., Madam Jess, chairman. Excerpts An Exponent Or Truth and Justice WILL APRIL 29 NUMBER OF DRAFTEES INCREASED Complete Official List Published On Page 2 Of This Issue. Nearly 150 Selected. Next Monday night at 9 o'clock, one hundred and forty three Colored men in St. Louis will leave for Camp Funston. These will compose the quota called from Class 1, for the second draft of registrants for the National Army. The men were to be sent on the 26th, but the time was postponed until Monday the 29th, because the President has declared the former date a holiday to boost the sale of Third Liberty bonds. The white drafttees will begin moving Wednesday and will continue until the draft has been completed, about May 10. All wards in St. Louis, except the ninth will send Colored men. The Arguus, last week, printed the names of those selected from 21 wards. This paper is the only one in St. Louis, giving attention to Colored registrants. Several of the ward boards had not selected their men when the reporter called last week, but he stayed on the job until the names were drawn, and thereby secured the information for our readers before the drafttees themselves had been notified. Since the last publication nearly all of the ward boards have been notified to increase their quota, and additional names have been selected. The complete official list will be found on page two of this issue. WASH HIGGINS GETS NEW TRIAL WAS TWICE CONVICTED FOR, MURDER AND GIVEN LIFE IMPRISONMENT Wash. Higgins, who with Robert Henderson, was charged with the murder of Joe Lubel, saloon keeper at 29th and Pine, in January, 1917, were represented in their first trial by Ex-Judge E. A. Nooman, and Atty Noise, who made a gallant fight for their clients. The jury, notwithstanding that fact, gave Higgins and Henderson life sentences. Henderson, after repeated efforts through his attorney to get a new trial, lost, and is now serving on his life sentence in Jefferson City. Mr. E. H. Taylor was employed in the case to促请 Higgins through Higgins' relations in Nashville, Tennessee. Mr. Taylor at once began preparing the case to prevent Higgins from going to the penitentiary, and after some months of litigation, finally secured a new trial for Higgins in April 16, 1917, and had the case reset. The trial was set and heard during last summer, when Higgins again faced the jury, only to get the same verdict of life imprisonment. Mr. Taylor, believing that errors had been committed through the progress of the trial, and the evidence was not sufficient to support the verdict of the jury, again filed another motion for a new trial, which resulted in Judge Davis, Div. 11, Criminal Court, granting the third trial. We take pleasure in publishing, and trust that the Colored people will sincerely appreciate the fact that we have lawyers of our own race who are just as competent and qualified to measure up to the standard with our white brother in the same profession. The courts here recognize the lawyers' ability, in so far as they demonstrate it in the trial of cases at the bar, and they give to the Colored lawyers the same opportunity to show their ability and recognize the same when they prove themselves worthy of such commendation. We sincerely trust that Mr. Taylor will continue his fight as a lawyer, for the protection of the rights and interest of his clients as demonstrated in this case, as well as in the Fuller case, because in the Higgins case the murdered man was white, as in the Fuller case of officer "Kidwell." It is an indication as well as evidence to the people that prejudice does not always control in the trial of a black man on account of his color. With Mr. Taylor's 25 years of experience as a lawyer, and having tried important cases in various states with success, he has had the opportunity to be, and is considered by some of the prominent white lawyers of this city, one of the best criminal lawyers in the State of Missouri, a fact which we all should be glad to know.

Tennessee, with its usual unlawful hanging, and augmented by a holiday festival, by burning the victim at the stake, and Louisiana with her usual hanging without any regard for law. According to the press dispatches, the Tennessee lynching took place in the courthouse yard. This, it is understood, was an act of defiance of the law. The courthouse being the assemblage of justice, the mob, without doubt, wanted the world to know that red-blooded Tennesseeans have no respect for law and order; right or justice, where a Negro is concerned.

We have noticed with a deal of interest, the cry from England and France, "Hurry, with America's man-power to help make the world safe for democracy."

The people, no doubt, would have confidence in the movement were it not being promoted by the same crowd that caused the City of St. Louis to spend nearly a hundred thousand dollars, carrying out a foolish segregation election. We note the name of one Felix Lawrence, who was the leading figure in the former movement, conspicious in the present project. Of course, he will find that the dollars to pay high salaries and "fifty-fifty" commissions, will not be readily forthcoming as of yore, because the people have found that "crowd" out, and will not trust their judgment, where it has to do with making laws or running a sixty million dollar street car corporation. We do not know the exact amount of money Mr. Lawrence received for his services in the segregation case; but, we suppose he is about broke, and is now seeking to make the people spend a deal of money, that his purse might be fattened. We do not believe that the promoters have the interests of the people at heart; but that they have ulterior motives. The Franklin Avenue property claimed "denseness" of Judge Saxstadt was the cause of their failure to go into court, qualified her own "lowing statement: "Besides, I was rubbish for a lot of lazy negroes to fighting for them in France."

The Franklin Avenue property owner, a Dr. Julia Meyer, who claimed "denseness" of Judge Saunders and City Marshal Mohrstadt was the cause of their failure to understand her refusal to go into court, qualified her own "denseness" by making the following statement: "Besides, I wouldn't want to haul away the rubbish for a lot of lazy negroes that live there, while our boys are fighting for them in France." If it were not for her own mental deficiency she would know that Negroes are also fighting in France for "our boys." The only reason there are not more of them there, is, because the United States Government refused them an opportunity to volunteer and be in the first service. Mrs. Meyer should also learn that Negroes are being conscripted in the same ratio as whites, and their percentage of exemption claims has been much lower. We have no doubt that they will also be recognized as "our boys" before the Hun has been licked. The dense madam was escorted to the workhouse to be clarified, but was paroled by Mayor Kiel. We wonder if her Negro story touched his heart? NOTICE. ARGUS CUSTOMERS OF THE DIAMOND JOURNAL CO. All customers of the Diamond Journal Co. Jno. D. D.

Visitors are advised, should they attend the services, to be on time as the minister is up-to-date and preaching begins promptly at 11:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. on Sundays. Nearly half of Dr. Hill's congregation is white people. Whether they are transients or permanent residents the writer was not informed, but it was learned that many of them were members of the church. Visitors Chapel A. M. E. Church This is a very beautiful edifice located right in the heart of Hot Springs and is very popular for its convictions. It was in this church where Col. Roscoe C. Simmons delivered his famous address to the town people, March 28th. Williams Jubilee Singers also appeared there before a crowded house. Rev. G. B. Ashford is the pastor, and is called the "Wide awake" pastor. Pythian Bath and Sanitarium One of the interesting features about this building is the large number of people who are seen there daily taking those hot baths for their health. It is to be regretted that the present building is not large enough to accom- mulate the fast growing patrons. W. T. Warren has charge and is ably assisted by Mr. English. Both men and women are patrons at the bath daily and are much benefited. A St. Louis Girl There Mrs. Hattie V. Hawkins (née Smith) a former St. Louis girl who has been at the sanitarium a year, presents a most interesting case. According to her statement, when she began taking the baths, she was almost helpless on account of rheumatism, which had settled in her lower limbs, not even able to help herself with the assistance of crutches. But she is now getting along nicely. So wonderful has been her improvement until she is happy, has a sweet disposition and is very sympathetic. She has quite a few friends in St. Louis, she being a graduate of Sumner High. She subsequently married a Mr. Hawk and moved to Chicago. --- --- gains for you, in fact we handle noth- ing but bargains. Cottages; houses flats and acreage for cash or deferred payment.

Miss Helen Hagan appeared before a representative audience Tuesday evening in a brilliant piano recital. Mrs. Zelle Cole Evans sang numbers very sweetly and was heartily engored. BEWARE! BEWARE! I want to say, to my prospective buyers, while every thing is advancing in price, if you expect to buy a piano, do it now. You cannot see into the future, but we can warn you of the probabilities of this business. The time is near no need when a poor person cannot buy a piano. Haw material has already advanced 50 per cent on the dollar. The banks will not lend any more money to the factories. There is a shortage in pianos. Terms on pianos, after September 18, will be $50 down, $15 monthly every place you go. So I advise you to get in out of the rain. May is going to be our bargain month. We have 60 pianos, on the floor, which we must move to make room for a new lot coming in. We will sell uprights from $50 up, players $275 up. Terms to suit anyone looking for a bargain.

This solves a collection problem which has troubled the committee ever since the inauguration three weeks ago of the campaign for recreational supplies for our soldiers. Many people had articles which they were willing to contribute, but as they were unable to bring their donations to the Depot at 12th and Locust and as the committee had no means of making collections the work progressed slowly. Books of all kinds, magizines, games including checkers, dominoes, chess and cards, phonograph records and athletic equipment of every kind is needed for the training camps in this country and for use in France. Such articles should be securely made up into penkages and given to any laundry driver who will take it to his laundry from which point articles will be taken on large trucks to the main supply depot at 12th and Locust.

(4-19-4) 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 Quinasep, it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasep, Quinasep soap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils principally coconut oil, and is a thorough cleanser. Quinasep soap 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 and Seeby's Quinasep, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each if your druggist or designer 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 Co. 79 East 130th street, New York City, for a sample of Quinasep, mentioning the name of this paper.—Adv. Men and women to sell J; and in cleaning soap.

When we demonstrate that we cannot deal justly with each other, how can we expect others to deal justly with us? Free instructions are being given to all Master Masons who have recently entered the craft by Sir E. J. Victoria, Jr., each Wednesday night at 3419 Lawton avenue. Of an organization of 82 persons who were to constitute a new K. P. Lodge, 64 of that number were initiated at the Pythian Hall last Saturday night. The formal reception tendered Deputy Grand Master Crittenden Clark the Past Masters' Council last Tuesday night was the smartest affair pulled off this season. Mrs. Jessie L. Brooks, stenographer to Grand Chancellor, A. W. Lloyd of the Pythians, is visiting her husband, Corporal Brooks, of the Ammunition Corps at Camp Funston. The Auditing Committee of Medinah Temple of Shriners spent several hours of last Tuesday night perusing the records of that body. Another investigation will be made next Monday evening. Last Sabbath was dreary and somewhat cold, but that condition of the weather did not interfere with loyal demonstration of the fraternities who participated in the dedicatory services of the First Baptist Church. The initiation exercises under the direction of lonic Lodge of Masons last Saturday night was a record breaker. The class was composed of 24 intelligent men, harmful of youthful vigor, who are to be, the lifeblood of that belly. --- Power will inflectate the best hearts as sine does the strongest heads. No man is wise enough, no man good enough to be trusted with unlimited power.—Isane. Invitations are out announcing the May entertainment, under auspices of the Shriners. Their affairs are usually aristocratic and the 20th of May is looked to with much anxiety. The National Fraternal Congress of America, representing upward of ten million heads of families in this country, will hold their next annual convention in Philadelphia the last week in August, 1918. Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green of the Colored K. of P. showed his sympathy for and interest in the great movement to provide relief for needy dependents of Colored soldiers by sending his check to the National Colored Soldiers' Comfort Committee at Washington for a generous sum. At the approaching installation of the officers of Eireknæ Consistory of 32D degree Masons, Sir George W. MeKin, past most wise and perfect master of Dorie Chapter of the Rose Croix, and Wm. H. Bunn, past polissiant grand master of the Lodge of Perfection; will be awarded jewels for their splendid services. --- Grand Chancellor A. W. Lloyd and W. T. Ancel, grand keeper of records and seal of the Pythians of Missouri, left the city last Wednesday for Pacific, then to Sedalia, to attend a meeting of the Beneficiary Board of Grand Lodge to consider the advisability of the investment of $6,000 in Liberty Bonds. Some months ago the Grand Lodge of Pythians purchased $0,000 worth of bonds. Rev. John Goins, state missionary of the Baptist denomination and for many years pastor at Jefferson City, and editor of The Western Messenger, is now residing at Kansas City, Mo. Mrs. Goins is the grand matron of the Heroes of Jericho of this state. They are both very popular in religious and Fraternal life and will prove a valuable addition to the progressive Colored population of that city. Dorie Chandler of Rose Crown, Eureka Connisty 29, Scottish Rite, Masons, held their election of officers on the 18th. The executive chamber selected to guide the destinies of that body for the ensuing year are: E. J. Victoria, most nise and perfect master; Monrog Ernest, senior warden; G. W. Lewis, junior warden; L.

Sherman Jacobs of Toule Lodge 91, A. P. & A. M., left the city early last Tuesday morning to accompany the remains of his deceased sister, Mrs. Gwenda Jordan, to Cape Girardeau, Mo., for interment. Jacobs is popular in the fraternal and social life of the city and in his bereavement received many expressions of sympathy from his-host of friends. Among the floral offerings was a most beautiful design from the waiters of the City Club, where he is employed. The general attitude of the class of men who are entering the different fraternities is that their executives must possess a certain degree of the knowledge of parliamentary procedure; the ability to grasp intelligently all matters reltive to the welfare of his lodge. These are potent factors in the conduct of his affairs, and, furthermore, his position demands these qualifications; he must possess them or either pass the appointment of honor to some one who is fit and capable of giving safe counsel.

Molton, secretary. LANE TABERNACLE Reception in Honor of Presidents Regardless of the disagreeable weather the church was well filled if each service Sunday and took several more steps forward. At 11 o'clock Rev. Smith preached from the subject "The Deadly Danger of Drifting." The pastor informed the Christians that it was dangerous to get too far away from their work, as they might find themselves so far adrift until it would be most impossible for them to get back. The speaker also warned against frivolity, and said it often gets too great a hold on Christians. St. Paul was the central figure in the Sunday evening sermon, which proved to be the favorite. Through the pastor we journeyed with Saul almost to Damasus until Christ straightened him out and sent him to the street called straight. Five new members were added Sunday under the auspices of the Steward Board, and as an expression of gratitude to the presidents for their most excellent work in the recent financial effort the church has planned to give a glorious reception atday evening the 29th. Aside from the program a menu will be served and a special menu will be set aside for the presidents, at which they will be served free. The Stewards will have complete charge of the dining room, cooking and serving themselves. A part of the program follows: After invocation by pastor, opening song, "America!" welcome address, Mr. J.

This is a magnificent fairy tale photography featuring 1,300 children and a giant stalk, 6 feet, 6 inches tall. Everybody knows the story. Which has been handed down from the earliest English peoples as a heritage of the present day. "Jack and the Bean stalk," which has delighted the hearts of children all over the world, has now been caught, before the incoming eye of the camera, caged and made ready to present to the world in a tangible, willisable form. The master mind of William Fox, film wizard, now presents to you the Fox Kiddie wonder picture. Jack, as you all know, sold his mother's cow for a sack of beans. She was angry with him, and she threw the seeds out of the window. Next morning she found that they had sprouted. An enormous beaststalk reached from the ground to the sky. Jack, filled with the spirit of adventure, climbed it and landed in a country above the clouds where dwelt an 'awful' Giant and a beautiful Princess. After many adventures, Jack killed the Giant, married the Princess, and all lived happily ever afterward. TUESDAY A. Eileen Haleen, young wife of a District Attorney, Dorothy Dalton in her next picture, "Love Letters," by Shannon Fife, makes a determined struggle for her husband's confidence. In her girlhood she had written indiscreet letters to Raymond Moreland, who poses as a teacher of erotic Eastern creeds, buts it in reality a gad and a villain of the deepest dye. How she sacrifices herself to obtain those letters, only to fail and be accused of Moreland's murder, and how her husband's assistant, also an old lover of hers, clears her, make a gripping phipplay—one of the best Parkinson pictures that has been produced under the supervision of the famous director, Thomas H. Inec. It is to be shown at the Penfleet on Tuesday. Cowboy whooping. Cowboy finds Cowboy life along the border. All these are finely drawn in William Fox's latest photoplay, "Cupid's Roundup," in which Tom Toni Mix is started for the first time in drama. An old, humorous, complicated love affair to be found in the play also. This is a lovely picture and promises enjoyable entertainment at the Pendleton Wednesday. "The Son Of His Father" Charles Ray as young 'Gordon Carbhoy, hero of "The Son of His Father," tells his father that making money is easy. His father calls his bluff and gives him five thousand dollars to change into a hundred-thousand within a limited time. How young Carbhoy made good and how he won not only the money and his father's respect, but the prettiest girl in Arizona, is to be sent at the Penliston Theatre on Thursday. Theda Bara in "Dubarry" PRIDAY On Friday the Pendleton will show Theda Bara in Du Bassy. The play is the most wonderful creation of its kind that has ever been presented on the slims. Madame du Bassy was a French woman who gained the favor of King Louis XV, and subsequently, became the practical ruler of her land. Her friends flourished, and her enemies, though they held powerful positions in the state, were overthrown. Even while she held the favor of the monarch, she was intriguing with a young soldier who had gained her own good will. There came a moment when it seemed that His Majesty would learn of Du Barry's duplicity; but her cleverness interested and saved the day, both for herself and her youthful lover. Douglas Fairbanks in "Reaching For The Moon" SATURDAY, MAY 4 "A whirlwind of action and a riot of fun, and typically Fairbanks," is the way Manager Austin describes the new Douglas Fairbanks film, "Reaching for the Moon," produced for Artcraft, coming to the Pendleton Theatre next Saturday, May 4. With New York and Italy as backgrounds, extraordinary "film punches" are presented, interspersed with flashes of real comedy. The story allowed spectaculair treatment, and Artcraft has produced it on a lavish scale, making it a notable offering, and one of the most pretentious yet issued from the Artcraft studios. The reproduction of the Venetian settings is well done, with picturesque canals and romantic gondolas. Magnificent settings and an extraordinary supporting cast, including such well known players as Frank Campeau, Eileen Percy and Eugene Ormonde, make this film an exceptional attraction. A.
