Published In The Interest Of Colored People ALARMING GROWTH OF LYNCHINGS Belief Is Spreading That Atrocities Are Agitated By German Propaganda. THEN A. A. C. P. IS ON THE ALERT The alarming growth of lynchings during the month of May has started hurting consideration as to the real cause. It is not believed by students of the race question that prejudice alone is the foundation for the many horrible atrocities that are following one after the other. The opinion is frequently expressed that a German propaganda is probably at work throughout the South to wreck the morale of the Colored men who are being drawn in the draft. There are but a few persons who do not feel that some well planned un-American propaganda agitated the awful massacre in East St. Louis last year. Government officials and well-posted public speakers have frequently told of unsuccessful efforts made by German agents to arouse the animosity of Negroes in some sections. N. A. A. C. P. On the Alert The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is on the alert, watching every outbreak and not failing in its immediate investigations and protests. On May 22, the association, through its secretary, John H. Shillady, made public its telegrams to Governor Hugh M. Dorsey, of Georgia, and to the Chamber of Commerce of Atlanta, and the Board of Trade, of Savannah, protesting against the lynchings of four Negroes, Will Head, Will Thompson, Haynes Turner and the latter's wife, in Brook County, Ga. on May 17 and 18. The lynchings were the result of the murder of a white farmer growing out of a dispute between the farmer and his tenants over a financial account. The association's telegrams urge that prompt action be taken to bring the lynchers before the courts for trial and to prevent the lynching of another Negro who at last accounts was being pursued by the same mob which has already lynched three men and one woman. The other man was lynched, however, before the protest arrived. Negroes Made To Line Up and Witness Burning Another Sunday evening pastime was engaged in by a mob of savages in the little town of Erwin, Tenn., May 19. The victim was Tom Deert, age thirty-five. The story is best told in the following letter from the secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. to Governor Rye. "Lynching and burning of body of Thomas Deert at Erwin, Tenn., Monday night, again makes it a patriotic duty of the National Association for the Advancement, of Colored People to urge that you bring to trial in Tennessee courts lynchers who by repeated burnings of Negroes accused of crime are impinging unity of the nation at this most critical time. Five out of the six lynchings occurring in your state since our country entered the war have been accompanied by burnings either before or after death. This last case adds to previous horrors that of forcing the whole Negro population of Erwin to line up and witness burring of Deert's body, thus avenging crime of an individual by terrorizing innocent law-abiding people whose only offenses lies in their color. Every patriotic American must realize danger to national welfare involved in allowing lawless elements to believe themselves free to lynch and burn Negroes without fear of swift and certain punishment. Your state cannot sit back and say as you have in the past that your laws are inadequate to punish lynchers. We implore you in the name of our common country to exhaust every resource, of law, money and patriotic endeavor to stem the peril which these burnings show to be one of terrible reality. "The frequency with which men are lynched and burned in Tennessee as well as the recent lynchings in Louisiana, Mississippi and Georgia, seems to point to an epidemic of this crime. Lynching is indefensible at any time, but when the nation is at war the lynching of Negroes by whites becomes a matter of extreme danger to the country as a whole less such outrages be regarded as an attack by the white elements of our population upon the Colored. I need not point out to you the patriotic duty owed by every American in such a crisis as the country now faces. The duty and responsibility of a Governor to stop these lynchings, it seems to us, transend every other duty which the law imposes upon him."4 Negro Lynched in Texas Beaumont, Texas, May 28.—Kirby, Gooselee, a (18-year-old) Negro, was lynched last night by a mob near Woodville. The Negro was charged with having attacked a white girl of Woodville, according to advices, received here. CARD OF THANKS Rev. and Mrs. C. W. Coffey wish to hank 'the members of Pilgrim Baptist church for the surprise party which they gave' the pastor, May 15. Groups of various kinds, money and restraints were donated 'which were rightly appreciated.' ST. LOUIS, MO., FRIDAY, MAY 31, 1918 THE ARCHBISHOP DENIES STATEMENTS PUBLISHED IN POST The Argus has been informed that a committee from the Catholic Knights of America, consisting of R. Herbert Stanton, Jos. W. Wilkinson and Wm. G. Micheaux, called on Archbishop Glenon last week relative to the following statements, published as an interview in the "Post-Dipatch" May 5: "Colored folks don't care much for their own church. They would rather mix in with the white congregation. "The Colored people seem to think that Catholic theology guarantees them a right to live and associate and marry and carry on a basis of social equality. It is impossible to overcome prejudices that have long existed." The Archbishop told the committee that the publication was false, as he had never made the statements, as reported, and that he would be willing to come to any meeting of the organization and explain. A member of the committee informed the reporter that an open meeting would be arranged for in the near future. SPECIAL MEETING N. A. A. C. P.

The service is first class, providing ice cream in a variety of flavors, soda and cigars. Mr. Jones is president of the Ostende Social (Tub and is generally active in social circles.

FEDERAL ANTI-LYNCHING BILL The June "Crisis" says of the Federal Anti-Lynching Bill: "If the bill is to be passed, there is a tremendous amount of work to be done by all persons interested in its passage. There is probably nothing which creates a deeper impression than petitions, telegrams and letters, if they come from all over the country. Arrangements are now in contemplation for a hearing before the House Judiciary, Committee. It is strongly urged that every person in the United States favoring the bill write or telegraph his or her Congressman urging that he supports and vote for the bill. Certainly every Colored person should do this, for it affects him vitally, though the question far transcends race interests. "For these reasons send a letter of telegram now, have your lodge, church society, firm or club do the same and this way have an avalanche of such messages pour into Congress to accomplish this purpose."

Johnson, preached to a large and appreciative audience Sunday morning. He selected for his text, Job 28 chapter, 7th and 8th verses. "That path no bird of prey knoweth, together hath the falcon's eye seen it. The proud breasts have not trodden it, nor hath the lion passed thereby." His subject was: "The Unseen Path." Nearer before has B. Johnson's worthient ability been brought out more vividly. His profound logic, together with the beautiful illustrative which carried to his hearers the unfathomable meaning of the text, will be long remembered by all those who were fortunate enough to bask in the spiritual sunlight of his eloquence. He pictured forcefully, the sin and folly of pride and its ultimate end. Another strong feature of his sermon was, "man's achievements." As he discussed upon the superior knowledge, power and wisdom with which man has endowed by the Creator, the audiences sat spellbound, swaved by the profundity of his words and were made to think as never before of the wonderful blessings bestowed upon them by a loving, allwise. Heavenly Father and made to realize the awful responsibility that rests upon each individual and how careful Christmas, should be of their daily walks, because of this responsibility. The sermon, "The Unseen Path," is engraved indelibly upon the hearts of those who heard it from the lips of this most eminent divine. The sermon Sunday night by Dr. B. J. A. Bray, of C. M. E. Church, Birmingham, Ala., was effective and inspiring and enjoyed by those who were present. Don't forget the Allen Endeavor League. Sunday evening, 6:30 p. m. Come out and bring some one with you.

Their meeting was an impressive one and a developed financial success, all of which made us very happy that we had the honor of entertaining such a powerful organization. Dr. Moseley of Tabernacle preached the sermon, which was an excellent effect. Come again. The Q. E. Star will hold their Ether Day services in our auditorium next Sunday at 2:30 p.m. At 11:00 o'clock Sunday, on the occasion of the pastor's anniversary, a new drive will begin suspiciously to secure pledges for the payment of our new building debt. Addresses will be made by Mr. Engene D. Ruth, Jr., attorney for Mississippi Valley Trust Co., and Mr. Alfred L. Lynch, representative of the real estate department of the same company. Our new building project was handled through this company by these gentlemen and it is open this subject that they will address us. Other features of interest. The public is invited. A large crowd attended the special baptismal services at Central Baptist church. Tuesday night and was blessed with hearing a very forceful and logical sermon on baptism. The baptism was very impressive, each candidate seemed to appreciate of the importance of the rite. Many thanks to Dr. Stevens and his good people for the use of their beautiful edifice and baptistry. Come to the Ecumenical WAYMAN A. M. E. CHURCH NOTES "Ye are the Salt of the Earth!" was the subject of a sermon by Kev. Greef, a visiting minister who preached at awayman last Sunday morning. Being a speaker of varied and ripe experience and much travel, his discourse was practical and replete with illustrations from every day life. Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, the Sunday school hall, special services, a special sermon by Rev. Dobbins, music by the choir, and a liberal offering was taken. Service was as usual Sunday night. One person joined the church at the end of the services. The Endevor had its regular meeting at 6:30 p. m. On Wednesday night a recital was given by Miss Plummer for the benefit of the Sunday school. On Thursday night a baptismal scene was given in behalf of the Stewardess board. Sunday morning, June 2, Rev. Dobbins will baptize several persons in the pool at St. Paul.

Subject, "God so Loved the World:" Rev. Cromwell preached in the evening, text, "I say, four walking in the fire, and the fourth one looked like the Son of God." Services were good throughout the day. Rev. w. C. Simmons, pastor. LEONARD AVENUE BAPTIST CHURCH The good Christian work at Leonard Avenue. Baptist Church continues to push along progressive lines and hold up the high standard. Thirty-three persons have joined the church during the past month. Last Sunday afternoon eleven candidates were baptized, and at the night services they with others were given the right hand of fellowship. Rev. Dunavant spent last Thursday out of the city and enjoyed a pleasant trip. LANE TABERNACLE Rev. N. L. Smith, our pastor, master of the pulpit and champion for the cause of right, preached to us Sunday evening for the first time since the sitting of the General Conference, over three weeks ago. He was a Fighting Man, was presented by the pastor. The sermon was taken from the 11th chapter of St. Mark, the Temple in Jerusalem being the scene of the sermon. Rev. Smith explained how our Savior exercised his physical strength in driving the marketers and money changers out of God's sacred Temple. Joe Smith's congregation is just about to outgrow the auditorium, and those who fail to come early have trouble getting good seats. Twelve members responded to the pastor's invitation Sunday morning, and after the beautiful sermon Sunday evening these more new members were added. There's simply no way of getting around the pastor's broad invitation, unless one deliberately does not care to join any church, as they have their choice of joining any Protestant church in the city. Aside from the choir's excellent music, the pastor still clings to the good old fashioned songs that everyone admires. Among the favorites are: "Remember Me," "Don't Let It Be Too Late," "Down at the Cross," "I'm Just Going Over Jordan." These are a few of the songs that the pastor loves so well to join his congregation in singing. All of the departments are working fine. Rev. Smith's monthly club reporting system grows better each month and has about solved the financial problem. The funeral of Mrs. Sadie Rickman, who died last Sunday morning, was preached by Rev. Smith Tuesday afternoon. Mrs. Rickman was a hard worker in Lane Tabernacle, as she was secretary of the Missionary Society, member Stewardess Board No. 2, and also a member of the Morning Star Sunday school class. The funeral was largely attended. Under auspices of the L. S. Person Club some real interesting motion pictures will be seen at the church Monday evening, the third. The pictures are presented by a committee from Pleasant Green Church and show Rev. Parker baptizing members in the Mississippi River and many other important scenes. Mrs. Susie Mason, presideat of Serugus Progressive Club, has returned from Chicago, where she visited friends and the General Conference. The Sunday school will elect delegates for the District Convention Sunday morning. PASSING OF BISHOP JAMISON A hero of Methodism has passed beyond. Bishop Jamison's high church dignity had won for him the reverence of many people. Men of his standing are usually quick on trigger, sometimes going off half-cooked, but he was not that way. He was cool at all times, and not easy to get excited. When the East St. Louis affair had one people stirred to anger most everywhere, his message to them was to "Sheathe the Sword," "You put up that gun," said Bishop Jamison, "and let God fight your battles." He favored the Colored people leaving the South, and was for anything that would give our people better environments. Better homes and better children were the things he always preached. Although he was getting feeble, he never gave up and died in the harness. He will be missed greatly. When Rev. Smith thought it advisable to have him here on certain occasions, he always responded to the call. And when the Omnipotent Judge looketh upon the heart of Bishop Jamison he will find, the words engraved, "For my friends," which according to God's own words, will be a good account of his stewardship. SAMARITAN M. E. CHURCH The Samaritan Church is still drawing large and enthusiastic crowds. The people are being fed on nothing but the truth. Sunday the pastor, Rev. W. H. Wheeler; preached two forceful ser- mona. In the morning he preached Ham Hosen 4:6. In the evening the subjects was, "Where Am I 19" Text, Mark 12:24. The great rally is on at this place, seemingly the people have a mind to work. A special rally will be staged this Sunday for the benefit of the Steward Board. The public is invited to come out and look this beautiful place over, where we hope to build a great lighthouse and saving station for the saving of our boys and girls. Save car fare, come to the Good Samaritan. M. E. Church where you will find good singing, good preaching and good people, and the best Sunday school in this city, we noticed the visitors last Sunday we noticed Mr. Edward McHadden of Fredericktown. We find the Argus a great help. A number of our people who are not subscribers have pledged themselves to become readers.

I suffered with stomach trouble for fourteen years. Had tried several remedies and physicians and received little benefit. I was advised to try Dr. Thurman's Embrocation with the Blood and Liver Tablets, and I am happy to say I am cured. It has been two years and no return of my trouble. No more distress after eating, pressure of gas in the stomach and around the heart. I advise all to try this wonderful combination of medicines. I have suffered with my stomach for eighteen years. I took treatments from several doctors and tried many different kinds of patent medicines without good results until I tried Dr. Thurman's Embrocation, Blood and Liver Tablets, and I am happy to say after I took the third bettle I felt like different man. I can now eat any kind of food without having any ill effect. I can cheerfully recommend Dr. Thurman's medicines to anyone having stomach trouble. Signed and witnessed by G. J.

Ke NECRG SOLDIERS GOD FIGHTERS (The Censor, May 29) In an editorial, the Censor publishes an article concerning the Negro and his position in tnis country asa soldier and citizen, After a brief review of the fighting~qualities of the Negro from Crispus Attucks to Needham and Johnson, The Censor con- tinues; ¥ “Yet it isa fact. beyond dispute. that the blacks have been denied the-full rights of Ameriean:citizenship in many parts of the country, more particularly in the South. There is food for thought in.contrasting the reports from France about the splendid fighting -ability and.courage of these people With the current reports from several Southern States of the lynching of black civilians and black soldiers, and even black women, usually onthe mere suspicion of infraction of the law, and not infrequently in response to mere clamor and to glut the appetite of the mob spirit. These brutal lynchings, several of which have very recently been reported, are but part of the great injustice inflicted on the black race inthe South. Court trials aredenied them, and prac- -tically all the rey pf citizenship inherent under the constitution of nation and states. Black men are not to exercise the right of franchise, and have practically no voice in the administration of the affairs uf the country or im the election“of public officials. Yet they are made a valuable asset_in the census as basis for unjust over representation in cengress and.in the electoral college. - 5 This grave injustice is’ not confined to up ‘far South’ or ‘the former Slave States, Right here, ip/St. Louis, Negro voters’ are mage the victims of*the sathe kind S¢cpplitical injustice. In -the recent presidential election, Democrats in control of the election machinery, disfranchished Negroes by wholesale, an oné pretext or another,” Almost any pretext served. This was so notorious that the attention of fairminded and prominent men, like Paul Bakewell and others With a sense of justice, was attracted, and.a movement inaugurated towards righting or at least exposing the wrong and the men who perpetrated it. These fairminded and patriotic gentlemen investigated and found full verification of the be a Help The. — N. A.A. STOP LYNCH INGS .

Cosiverse allegations and jutification of the many complaints. - The tee headed by Mr. Bakewell, employed Charles Bates, one of the best lawyers in St. Louis,.to go.into the matter from a legal stand- point. Mr, Bates called in two of the ablest criminal attorneys in the city to assist him, one of whom was a Democrat and the other a Republican. These nien piade reports to Mr,Bukewell, who, in turn presented the facts to the federal officials, “Nothing [of a re- medial character came of it all, save that the outrageous frauds and the great injustice was fully exposed in print. “All this sort of thing is tremendously wrong..

MOBS IN AMERICA HAMPER ‘WAR AIMS | On Monday night of last week, a mob of white men at’ Erwin, Tenn., lynched Thomas Devert,.a colored: man,-and afterward ‘burned his body at the stake, i |’ Every oofored man, woman and child in’the town was lined up |and forced to witness the burning. : | Theré can be no doybt but that the mob-spirit is a_most dan- | gerous type of German propoganda, as their cowardly work is do- |ing much to undermine the morale of our Negro troops, and keeps ithe minds of the Negro civilian in a state of fear and unrest. - The Department of Justice would add much to the winning af the war, if mob murderers were brought to justice and made to recognize ‘the severity of the law. s » r Members of mobs deserve to be courtmartialed and should be brought to the stern realization that they must not interfere with the war aims of this Government by acts of murder and crime. ~- The States of Tennessee and Georgia seem as if they were in a wild race to outstrip each other in deeds of revolting and “inhu- man mob murderers. Only.a few days ago, three Negro men and a Negro woman were the victims of a mob in the State of Georgia, and on the following day, a fourth Negro man was lynched at Val- dosta in that State. = Tennessee has to her besmirched credit, lynchings and burn: ings of Negroes almost weekly. » This epidemic of mob terrain seems to have broken out afresh since America: has entered the war. ec { To our mind, the work of the I. W. W. pale into insignificance us to injury this country, when compared to the detriment that is veing done.by mobs. Every true and loyal American, every man and woman who 1as a spark of real patriotism for America, should rise up in em yhatic protest te such an extent that a wave of indignssigpacsinat nobocracy will sweep this country from ocean ‘to ocelt. ind es- tablish anew, the dignity of the law. -. rte, £4(*fsr ae = @ Soa e | EROS RD, ROS i ¥ c ie - ae “Eat Us’ “Sy flag and Save the Whagysftimndta for Our Sdtiva; Boys gy NOTICE 1620—-I862—2435 Loe ets: Cia sea a i: ee Sa / Ee. i Seber \ df ) 5 3. ee | - Ceieahy Rate 7) (a coeircine ee Fs a ser JIG fs | "i Fr Reis Se A Ot ee * ~.Undertakers... ; When Good Service Is Nesired Delmar 922 Lindell y 4107 FINNEY AVE. ‘ A.

TO GROW LONG STRAIGHT HAIR TO GROW LONG STRAIGHT HAIR 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 Quinasepap. Quinasepap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oil, principally coconut oil, and is a thickough cleanser. Quinasepap lathers very well. It leaves the hair soft and duffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequalled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Seeby's Quinasepap and Seeby's Quinasepap asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your drugstress or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them for you, from his whole saler or send us the price and we will mail them to you. Write to Seeby Fring Co., 19 East 130th street, New York City, for a sample of Quinasepap mentioning the name of this paper—Ads. PHOTO-PENNANTS.

Brown, Grand Secretary; J. T. Cannon, Grand Orator; Cornish, Grand Expert; Luther Mellridge, Guardian of the Tower. In a large city like this, many things come to light that are never exhibited in small towns, and among them we find Masonic marks for sale in the windows of public jailbrokers. This is a disgrace and shame to the Fraternity, and any member found wilfully guilty of such an act, should be expelled unless he can prove that he was driven legitimate means bad failed. It is becoming entirely too conspinion, and should be stopped. When a Mason gets so low down, that none of the Fraternity will aid him, he should have conscience enough left to go and throw his emblems in the river, and whenever any member of the Fraternity becomes so mercenary that he will not help a worthy brother in distress, and thus drives him to this public pawning business, he should be exposed and held up to the execution of all good Masons. Masonic emblems should not be looked upon as idle charms—they are the representatives of living principles.

LESSON FQR JUNE 2 THE PROPHETIC OUTLINE OF THE INTERVAL BETWEEN CHRIST'S CRUCIFIXION AND HIS COMING AGAIN. LESSON TEXT—Mark 12.1. 14.9 GOLDEN TEXT—He that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. Mark 12.1. 14.9 DEVOTIONAL READING—Ephefians 2: 1-10. ADDITIONAL MATERIAL *Matthew* 6 Luke 11-25; 1 Thess 8-12; 24 Thess 7:1 PRIMARY TOPIC-Jeans among his friends.-Mark 14.3.9 JUNIOR AND INTERMEDIATE TOPIC- Our best for Christ. Mark 14:5-9. The printed text (14:1-9) may profitably be used by the primary, junior and intermediate grades, but the adult classes will more profitably confine their study to chapter 13. In order to avoid confusion in this study, let it be clearly borne in mind that two matters are presented—the destruction of Jerusalem by the Roman armies and the glorious return of the Lord. The two are sometimes so closely interwoven as to make the threads difficult to disentangle, but if we see the coloring in the graphic picture of the destruction of Jerusalem as adumbrating the revelation of the Son of God in glory, we shall have no serious trouble. 1. The Occasion of the Prophecy (vv. 1-4). As Jesus was passing through the temple for the last time on his way to the Mount of Olives, where he gave this discourse, the disciples reminded him of the splendor of the building, to which he replied that not one stone should be left upon another. When seated upon the mount three disciples came privately with a threefold question, according to Matthew 24, requesting further information. 1. When shall these things be? 2. What shall be the sign of thy coming? 3. And of the end of the age? That which follows is given in answer to these questions. 11. The Characteristics of the Age During the Absence of Christ (vv.5-23). 1. Appearance of deceivers (vv. 5, 6). Since Jesus went back to heaven many false Christians from time to time have pressed their claims as being the Christ. As the age draws to a close these claims doubtless will increase. 2. Wars and strife among the nations (vv. 7, 8). The history of the centuries since Christ is written in blood, and the river increases in volume as the age goes on toward its consummation. Jesus warns against making any particular war the sign of his coming. Many good people have seriously blundered in this respect because they did not heed this warning. 3. Earthquakes and families (v. 8). Though these calamities grow increasingly severe as the days lengthen, the intelligent, believing disciple is not surprised or alarmed, for these are the precursors of a new order, the birth range of a new age, the establishment of the Kingdom of Christ upon this earth. Let the child of God in this present darkness look up, for his redemption draweth nigh (Luke 21:28). 4. Universal evangelism (v. 10). The gospel of the Kingdom, according to Matthew 24:14, shall be preached in all the world for a witness. This is not the Gospel of the grace of God which we now preach, but the new evangelism which shall be preclaimed by elect Israelites immediately preceding the coming of Christ to establish his Kingdom (see Rey. 7:4-10; Rom. 11:15). III. The Lord's Gloorious Return (vv. 24-27). This is the superlative event, the one to which all prophecies have pointed, and all ages are moving with unfailing precision. It will usher in the golden age of which the wise and great of all ages have dreamed, and for which they longed. The coming of the Lord will put an end to earth's sorrows; wars and strife will not end until the kingdoms of this world become the Kingdom of our Lord and his Christ (Rev. 11:15). This event will be accomplished by great physical disturbances, and Jesus will gather his elect from the ends of the earth. IV. Applications of the Prophecy (vv. 28-37). 1. As these events multiply in the earth we know that the coming of the Lord draweth night (vv. 28, 29), as the putting forth of the leaves of the fig tree prove the approach of summer. The perpetuity of Israel is the miracle of the ages. 3. Certainty of fulfillment (v. 31). The unfalling guarantee is the words of Christ. 4. The time of Christ's coming unknown (v. 32). In view of this it is utter folly to set the time. The devil keeps people from the truth of Christ's coming as long as possible. When he can no longer succeed in this, he then tries to get them to set the time. 5. The proper behavior in view of Christ's imminent coming (vv. 33-37). It is watchfulness and prayer. The coming of the Lord is the great incentive for watchfulness and earnest prayer. AGENTS WANTED!!

Loula, Mo AS NEAR AS YOUR TELEPHONE DISTANCE IMMATERIAL In a metropolitan city of this size, there are people who constantly suffer with their feet, and who try every remedy available; even old knives and razors to obtain relief. Let the price you pay for these remedies be a business proposition and have the cause renovated; it will benefit you in dollars and cents. Too often by trying every remedy and old instruments not only brings sorrow to the sufferer, but may bring misfortune and cause death to knock at your door. The time has arrived when we should look forward, and not backward in caring for our feet. When nature put forth man upon the earth; every bone, muscle, nerve and ligament was normal, but most people transgress the laws of nature by abusing their feet with ill-fitting foot-wear and cause corns, bunions, ingrows and many other growths to migrate there. My new system of extracting these growths without pain has won for me a nice practice in this city. My many years of practice and careful study of the foot in your assurance of good work.

Garnfield U.S. FUEL ADMINISTRATION Rest Rooms For Rural Women Best rooms have been established in more than 200 counties in the United States to meet the needs of the country try woman in town on business. They provide a place, says the United States department of agriculture, where the term woman has a right, without asking any favors, to the use of facilities for rest and refreshment. They have been established by women's rural organizations in co-operation with other local organizations, with individuals, and with college, town, or county authorities; by business corporations operating private city markets, and by individual merchants. Where farm women's organizations have been interested in establishing rest rooms, local farm women's clubs have been able to arouse the necessary community interest in the need for rest rooms to insure their financial support. This has been done through co-operating with other local farm women's clubs, with organizations of women in town, with civic leagues, with chambers of commerce, and with county agents. In cooperating with other clubs in establishing a rest room, any local farm women's club may take the initiative. Opportunity is given at club meetings for discussing the need for a rest room, and other local clubs may be asked to arrange similar discussions. Such cooperation is facilitated in rural communities where local clubs meet together for joint sessions three or four times a year. Through their organizations town and country women have co-operated in providing rest rooms near railroad stations, where the waiting room facilities at the stations were inadequate. They have co-operated in establishing libraries which provide convenient and adequate rest rooms for town and country women. Aroused community interest frequently results in securing a vacant room in the town hall, county courthouse, public market, or other public building. Frequently the county agent, as the representative of the rural interests of a county, will take the initiative and secure the co-operation of the chamber of commerce or the county commissioners. Frequently rest rooms are provided in dry foods stores and in grocery stores. A fest rom at Kalamazoo, Mich. has been in use since 1882, and has become the common meeting place for country people living in different directions from the city. The number of country women dealing with these business houses warranted the establishment of rest rooms by the proprietors to meet the needs of their customers. Widows' Pensions. An act of congress of October 8, 1917: provided that from and after its passage the rate of pension for a widow of an officer or enlisted man of the army, navy or marine corps of the United States who served in the Civil war with Sphine or the Philippine insurrection, now on the pension roll or hereafter to be placed on the pension roll, and entitled to receive a less rate than here after provided, shall be constituted to affect the additional allowance provided by existing pension laws on account of a helpless child or child under sixteen years of age. This law made $25 a month the uniform rate for all soldiers' widows, then on the pension rolls at less than that rate or who should thereafter be placed on the pension roll.

Having played in the "Midnight Jamble" and later with the King Co. No. 2, he is a versatile performer and hard worker. The entire trio has talent, but needs originality to bring it out. However, people like a review of the big names occasionally and the duel suit this week is not an unpleasant reminder of the old "Smart Set" days. NEXT WEEK A BIG SHOW Old Man Dope is blowing his trumpet on next week's bill, booked for the Booker Washington Theater, and when we look over the array we are ready to take off our hats. To begin with, we are promised that we will see Watts Brothers, the world famous acrobats. We now know why they disappointed us last fall. One had been conscripted but has since been discharged. Their new name is called "Disney From Camp Pike." Of course, it will be good. Everything they do is of that class. Franklin's Dogs, the tricky little company, bounces canines that do everything but talk, are also on the program. Other acts will be the Davenport Trio, with new songs, dances and conquests, and Portia George, a national clarinetist, who makes his instrument seem almost human. These vaudeville acts should provide a fun show, but for good measure Mr. Turpin has secured moving pictures of the Colored soldier boys at Camp Sherman, to be shown on Friday, Saturday and Sunday of next week. We can't see too much of our boys who are going "over there." To help make the world safe for democracy and uphold the glorious traditions of the Negro soldier. "The Brass Bullet," another song national serial; will start at the Booker Washington Theater Monday, June 17. It is, in eighteen episodes. Charles Turpin spent a few days in Chicago this week. AT THE MOVIE A rare combination of program has been selected for Sunday, June 2nd, at the New Movie Theater, 2351 Market St. "The Hard Rock, Breed" a West erna drama of the thrilling type and Bill West in one of his newest and greatest comedies. Theda Barra's most sensational vamp pre photography on the Wm. Fox special productions, the "Rose of Blood," will be shown at the Comet Theater Thurs day, June 6th.

"That's what I'm doing. I've gotten so that the alarm clock can ring every morning without my noticing it." That's. True. "There is one thing in nature which human enterprise has never yet utilized." "What is that?" "The hoarse power of a cold." "What is that?" "The hourse power of a cold." "Yes. The dear girl is a perfect martyr. The fact that she toes in besides being a trifle bow-legged doesn't prevent her from wearing her sartra just as short as anybody's." The Trimmings. A peroxide-wigged manicure turned her "Anna Held" eyes on the patron before her and asked: "Shall I trim you close?" He smiled back and said: "Well, you might leave me enough for cart home." "Do your constituents agree with you?" A "I hadn't tought about that," replied Senator. "Sorghum. "But I am mighty careful to agree with them." Divided Authority. "Who is really boss in your home?" inquired the abrupt person: "Well," replied Mr. Meekton. "Of course, Henrietta assumes command of the pug dog and the canary. But I can say pretty much what I like to the goldfish."

NOTABLE STARS FOR WEEK BEGINNING SUNDAY SUNDAY, JUNE 2 "The Cinderella Man" Mae Marsh, who is appearing in her third Goldwyn starring vehicle, "The Cinderella Man," from the famous stage success of the same name by Edward Childs Carpenter and Pendleton Theatre, Sunday, en., the distinction American gambling palace. It is generally conceded now that the glory, if it may be called such, of these gilded halls, has passed from Monte Carlo to South American capitals. A picturesque scene of prodigal splendor is that of the faro and roulette establishment in this feature, at the Pendleton Theatre on Wednesday. THURSDAY "Rebecca Of Sunnybrook Farm" This story offers Mary Pickford a character that it is generally felt, proves the crowning achievement of her wonderful career. Recently Miss-Pickford has been appearing in powerful dramatic subjects with potable 'success', and by way of direct contrast to these offerings, "Little Mary" discloses popular Rebecca in heart appealing tale, presenting her rather rough road to womanhood. How she fights with the Smellie children, sells soap to get the lamp for Mrs. Simpson, gives a circus in a barn from which she is routed by the crabbed old aunt, and how she meets Adam Ladd and after graduating from school they are again brought together, is all brought out in typical Pickford style. As the little girl from the country in short dresses, Mary will further endear herself in the hearts of the American public, if such a thing is possible. At the Pendleton Thursday. FRIDAY, JUNE 7 "The Forbidden Path" Theda Bara in "The Forbidden Path" The story in "William Fox's" "The Forbidden Path," concerns the adventures which befall a tenement girl who is suddenly elevated to comfortable conditions by employment as artist's model. She meets a wealthy young blade who makes love to her, captures her heart, and refuses to marry her. Her child dies in a snowstorm. Bent "revenge," she seeks out the girl who is to marry the man she hates. They plan a retribution, which ends the drama with a vehemene rarely seen on the screen. It will be seen *at* the Pendleton Friday, June 7. SATURDAY, JUNE 8 "Headin' South" Douglas Fairbanks, in "Headlin' South," a spectacular production, with its stirring scenes and its great ensembles of people, including hundreds of cowboys and a large band of real Mexicans. The scenario is uniquely developed, presenting a succession of thrills, with Fairbanks doing his utmost to outdo the stunts that made his recent western picture, "The Man from Painted Post," somewhat of a novelty from an acrobatic standpoint. It covers a wide range of territory, from Canada to Mexico, and a great variety of scenery, including snow-capped mountains, forests wilderness, the western plains and the blazing desert. Will be shown at the Pendleton Theatre on Saturday, June 8. Theatre 16 S. Jefferson Indid Program Day 5 Cents Government Pictures New Star Th Now Open 14-16 S.

Hart and Douglas Fairbanks SUNDAY, JUNE 2 "The Cinderella Man" Mae Marsh, who is appearing in her third Goldwyn starring vehicle, "The candelabra Man," from the famous stage success of the same name by Edward Childs Carpenter and Pendleton Theatre, Sunday enchanted the distinction of being the one motion picture artist who is so versatile that critics have been unable to find a phrase describing her in all of her plays. She has been called, among other nicknames, "the whim girl of the screen," "the girl of a thousand faces," "the quaint actress," "the girl who has everything," "a song without words," "the chameleon of the screen," "the goddess behind the mist," "the Bernhardt or the screen," and "Ellen Terry at seventeen." MONDAY "Barbary Sheep" Elsie Ferguson in "Barbary Sheep," adapted from Robert Hichens most popular book since "The Garden of Alma." Miss Ferguson is given a vehicle that not only is particularly adapted to her capabilities, but one that offers her a most lavish artistic background. Under the direction of Maurice Tourneur, the well-known French producer, some of the most elaborate sets ever staged for a photo-play are presented in novel, display. The romantic story of Algeria, which tells of the infatuation of an English noblewoman for a dark-skinned army officer, as told on the screen, it is readily felt, will achieve greater popularity than even the book experienced. Among the many interesting features displayed by this production are the views of life in Algeria setting forth mystery, fascination and strange atmosphere of the desert. Charged with the heat, passion and swift action that befit a daring romance of this country, "Barbary Sheep" promises to attract and hold, the immediate attention of the audience from beginning to end. Don't fail to see it at the Pendleton, Monday. "The Family Skeleton" They say that every family hos its hidden skeleton—its something that is never spoken of save with bated breath—a sort of bete noir—but in Charles Ray's family—that is, in his picture, "The Family Skeleton" at the Pendleton Theatre, Tuesday, this bete noir is only imaginary. The queer part of it all is that the hero—whose particular skeleton is that he fancies himself in incurable drunkard—suffers far more than this trouble had been real. How he is cured by his sweetheart—played by Selvia Bremer, is interestingly shown. Other players on the cast are Andrew Arbuckle, Billy Elmer, Otto Hoffman and Jack Dyer.
