PATRIOTIC DEMONSTRATION THURSDAY JUNE13 The People's Paper The Trade Maker VOL. VII, NO. 8 PATRIOT ARMY OFFICERS URGE FEDERAL LAW AGAINST LYNCHING Measure Discussed Before House Committee. Colored Woman and Five Sons Lynched in a Texis Town. Vigorous Protest Made by the N. A. A. C. P. Washington, June 6.—Enactment of a Federal anti-lynch law as a war measure was urged today before a House committee by Maj. E. J. Springia and Capt. Horbauer of the Military Intelligence Service. The committee is considering a bill to impose the death penalty on those convicted of participating in lynchings to punish county or local officials who fail to enforce the law, and to penalize by fines communities in which lynchings occur. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through its secretary, John R. Shillady, makes public a telegram sent Monday to Gov. W. P. Hobby of Texas protecting against the lynching of Mrs. Sarah Cabiness and her five sons at Huntsville, Tex., and the fatal wounding of her daughter, on June 1 as the result of an altercation between a white man and George Cabiness. She attends the Governmental meeting "thirteen Negroes have been lynched in the State of Texas alone since America entered the war, and pointedly asks the Governor concerning his action in bringing to justice the murderers of three Negroes. At a time when 157,000 Negroes are offering their lives for the preservation of the ideals of democracy, the Association wishes to know if the Negroes of Texas are to be given their share of the democracy for which they are fighting. The telegram follows. Hon. W. P. Hobby, Governor. Press dispatches in New York papers June 1 state that Mrs. Sarah Cabinese, a Colorful woman, and her five sons were shot to death by a mob at Huntsville, Tex., and her daughter, finally wounded because of an attack on her and Georgia Cabinese. In the name of its 102 branches with over 30,000 members of both races, as well as all other justice loving people of our country, the National Association for the Advancement of Colorful People protests in the strongest terms against this outrage, and urges you to use every power at your command to bring the perpetrators to justice. Two hundred of Negroes have been killed by the victim of mob violence since the United States entered the war. Sixteen of this number have been lynched in the State of Texas alone. At a time when 157,000 Negroes are in France, or preparing to go, offering their lives for the preservation of our country, it behoves Texas to do everything through its officials to stamp out mob violence. The law of Texas are adequate to punish offenders against us, and the law of Negroes are enough to heighten the body politic and unless clocked will spread, as it has done, during the orgy of bloodshed in your State and in Georgia, during the past two weeks. Is Texas going to uphold her laws in this present crisis? John R. Shillady, Secretary, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. EXPLODING BOMB DAMAGES FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH A bomb explosion at 12:30 a.m. m. Thursday wrecked the interior of the First Baptist Church, Bell and Cardinal Avenues. The bomb was dropped info a committee room in the basement through a window and exploded there. Damage was estimated at $1,000. It was the third attempt in five months to destroy the building. Two other bombs had failed to explode. Detectives working on the case regarded the explosion as a protest of white residents of the community to the location of the church. The detetector was heard two miles. Police trapped in a fire alarm, but no blaze followed. The church was only recently taken over by the congregation which was formerly located on Clark Avenue, near 14th St. Rev. Maxwell, the pastor, could not be located by the Argus reporter before the paper went to press. Washington, June 4—The Civil War pension increase bill $4 was passed today by the Senate, 36 to 22. It amends the House bill by increasing the minimum monthly pension to that of the Army, $30 and provides pensions of $32 to $40 a month according to length of service for those 72 years or older. The bill would increase the pension roll by $35,000,000 a year. The St. Louis Argus Y. M. C. A. REACHES $5,000 IN DRIVE Large Crowd Attends Meeting In New Building Last Sunday. Women Raise $1,215 The Y. M. C. A. went over the top last Sunday when the first lap of the $10,000 rally was closed with cash on hand for the drive of $3,000. The men's teams brought in $3,000. The ladies' Tag Day added $1,215. The Tag Day by the ladies was a wonderful experience, while the men worked as they never worked before to raise their amount. Team 17; Dr. C. H. Turner, captain, brought in the largest amount, with team 11. Mr. E. D. Hamilton, as captain-second. The third highest team was led by Mr. W. Y. Smith, and made a wonderful showing. The Argus is sure of this fact that the men of St. Louis never worked together so hard and so well during last week. The men's team totaled $3,300. Ladies' Tag Day The Tag Day on Saturday and Sunday netted $1,215 and the returns are all on team. The team led by Miss Grace Gordon raised $10,03. Three other teams raised over $100 as follows: Miss Elizabeth's Brown's team, $136; Mrs. Ray Tyler, $114 and Mrs. F. S. Thurman, $100,63. Teams were led by the following ladies: Mrs. F. D. George, Mrs. Jno. Evans, Mrs. C. H. Phillips, Mrs. Mickie, Miss Jessie Gordon, Mrs. Zelle Cole Evans, Mrs. Piper, Mrs. W. R.

Carter, Mrs. Hyla Evans, Mrs. Clyde Patillo, Mrs. Wilburn, and Mrs. M. Huffman. The largest individual collection was made by Mrs. Mamie Lattimore, whose box contained $47. The following ladies acted as an executive committee for the ladies Tag and Mrs. Clyde Patillo, Mrs. Wilburn, and Crossteth, Mrs. F. L. Williams, Mrs. Nellie Ages, and Mrs. A. E. Malone. Many interesting stories of the Tag Day are told but the most interesting one was of the capture of detectives Cooper and Robinson who were forced, not unwillingly, the Argus reporter hears, to escort the ladies into a number of places where the money for the Association might be secured. The following persons gave up the luxury of their automobiles Saturday and Sunday to make the drive a success: Dr. R. C. Haskell, Mr. Jos. H. B. Evans, Mr. Clifford Evans, Miss Blanch Dore, and W. W. C. Gordon. The First Regiment Band did its to make the drive go, by escorting a detachment of soldiers to the Sunday. The Y. M. C. A. Drive was a woden drive, there are still battles in the town and the Argus will be satisfied until these pegs pay their pledges in full or are shown up so that the public may know who it is in St. Louis who does not keep his word. The Y. M. C. A. members and team workers will gather next, Sunday at 4 p. m. at the new building in the offices and to have a pollination meeting.

NEWSPAPER MAN REGENES GOVERNMENT APPOINTMENT F. M. Sackett, federal food administrator for Kentucky, has appointed Phil H.

Daily News, in an editorial on May 31, published the following, which is most remarkable, coming as it does from the hothot of prejudice and its attendant tricities: At the close of the recent Liberty Loan drive the Daily News, took occasion to congratulate the Negroes of the state on the splendid showing they made in that campaign. The Red Cross drive has closed, and the Negroes have again responded whole-heartedly to a patriotic appeal. In a great many smaller communities, the Negroes subscribed the entire quota, and a white citizen has to cover subscription. There is something appealing about this response of the Negroes to those of us in Mississippi who know them. The European war is removed an incomprehensible distance from them. A great many of them cannot read, and many more read only with difficulty. Even the better educated ones find difficulty, no doubt in understanding all the complexities of the European situation. Certain it is that thousands of our white citizens are in the dark even yet as to the underlying causes of the war, and as to the many sided polisical phases of it. But the beautiful fact remains that the Negroes and white both gave to the Dixie when its mission of mercy was explained to them. Their hearts were touched when they were told of wounded soldiers tendency care for, of hungry babies fed, of war refugees sheltered and warmed. As surely as the world lasts, these responses of the Negroes are going to have their effect after the war is over, or before. It is not easy to overcharge a man who has just given of his small score of money to keep your son from suffering in the battlefields of France. It is not easy to sit idly by and watch a "dollar deputy" or one of the pestiferous tribe of concoctable misuse a Negro who has just given to the Red Cross—given that a Belgian baby may have its empty little stomach filled. These things are going to be remembered. The best element, of the South has always been in favor of fair treatment of the Negro and Negro himself is growing. Negro himself has an opportunity at the present to win the respect and admiration of the white people, and he seems to be taking advantage of it. When justice, tempered with mercy for the shortcomings of a race that is in many respects yet with in its child-stage, rules our dealings with the Negro, the "Negro problem" about which persons like Senator Vardamann like to prate, will be a long way toward settlement. RESIGNATION This will inform the public that I am no longer connected with the organization known as the Industrial Race Elevation Association, fostered and promoted by one known as D. P. Craig. MQONLIGHT EXCURSION There will be a moonlight excursion given by the No Name Club on that beautiful four-dock steamer Liberty. Monday evening, June 10. The boat will leave the foot of Olive Street at 9 p.m. Music by Great Western Band, W. D. Flowers, Leader. Admission, 35 cents. Jesse J. Johnson, Master of Ceremonies. NOTICE! Jesse J. Johnson, the well known dancer, has arranged it so there will be no war tax attached to the fare on the steamer Liberty. The fare from now on will be 35 cents. THE MOORFIELD STOREY N. A. A C. P. DRIVE The formulative has ended and the workers are now rounding up the various details of the campaign. It is not possible at this time to make a definitive statement as to the results, but it is certain that several hundred new members have been added to the ranks of the Association in considerable efforts of the last few weeks. The committee in charge expects to have the results tabulated in time for a comprehensive statement next week. ANDERSON. INDIANA. CITIZENS DONATE TO SOLDIERS' FUND Washington, June 3.—The little town of Anderson, Ind., with a Colored population of but a few hundred, has just completed a ten-day, drive for funds for the National Colored Soldiers' Comp.

Very little information is obtainable this week on the next draft of men into the army on account of the district boards being occupied with the registration of men who have arrived the age of 21 since June 5, 1917.

Gaines preached a tremendous sermon with a wealth of eloquence, yet simplified to teach the church. 18:18. The pastor preached at night a fervid strengthening sermon, with just the blending of spiritual and mortal to add a live and lasting glow to our lives. A great stir and bustle of activities is being enacted throughout the church, preparatory to our big rally that begins June 17. Every Sunday school of the Antioch Ass'n is cordially invited to be with us Tuesday night, June 18, 1918, to take an active part in our program. Wednesday night, June 19, the B. Y. P.-U. of the Ass'n are invited to help with their program. Happy hearts and hands are fully employed, and the public is heartily welcomed to take part in our songs and works for the Master.

Jacobs is here and will hold his second quarterly meeting Sunday. Dr. Jacobs will preside both morning and evening. Sunday afternoon services will be held, when several visiting ministers will be pressent with their congregations. Dinner will be served in the dining room all afternoon. Bishop C. H. Phillips, of Shiloh, Tenn., was with us both morning and evening last Sunday. Bishop Phillip's inspiring talks are allways welcomed by the congregation, and add much to the services. The Bishop was en route home from Chicago. Dr. J. C. Anderson, pastor of our church in Los Angeles, California, was present, and delivered to us a beautiful message Sunday morning. Dr. Anderson is very well pleased with the work in California and says he is having great success. At 8 p.m. our own pastor, Rev. Smith, preached to us on the things most needed. Love, unity, and effective work for God were among the needed things the pastor mentioned. Several united with us after this message. Among them was Mr. Robert Smith, the pastor's brother. Dr. Jacobs will hold his second quarterly conference Tuesday evening. Epworth League Sunday evening the meeting will be in charge of Mrs. C. J. Bell and Mr. Elmer Phelps; subject, Finding and Filling One's Place in the World, Judges, 7th chapter; Acts 26:16-19 Monday evening, the 24th, the league will entertain with a grand concert. Sunday is Rally Day in the Sunday school. Each class has been assessed as follows: Morning Star, $8; New Progressive, $8; Senior, $5; Young Men's Bible, $7; Calvary, $4; Busy Bee, $2.50; Little Workers, $2.50; Always faithful and Willing Workers, $2 each; Infant Workers, Nos. 1 and 2, $2 each.

Parrish will take charge of a newly organized class Sunday morsing. The class will have the same grade scholars as that of the Senior, now taught by Mrs. Ida Marshall, and will be called the New Liberty Class. Cupid has again been busy in the Sunday school. Last Friday afternoon Rev. Smith united Miss Little Payne and Mr. Claud Receives. Miss Payne is teacher of the Willing Workers' Class. Miss Payne who has been decorated by the Sunday school several faithful service, out of which she only missed 2 Sundays. Mr. Raikes, it will be remembered the opening of the world's first Sunday school, the Friday service. Just the opening of class services, Mr. Fred Williams and Mrs. Sadie Brown marched to the altar and were married by the pastor. Mrs. Brown is a member of the New Progressive Class. Comrade Cupid has visited the Sunday school more than any other department recently. The discriminating little gentleman surely must have overlooked the choir and Stewardess' Board No. 2, where a visit from his royal highness would be received with great acclamation. Saturday evening, the 5th, the Sunday school is giving a parlor social at the home of Mrs. Ella Howell, 4023 Cook Ave. A real nice crowd greeted the I. S. Person Club Monday evening to view the Pleasant Green Church pictures. Although the scenes are well taken, the pictures are much too dim, and the operator should take care of this before giving another performance. However, one gets a very good view in the last of the big baptizing reel of Rev. Parker and his board of officers. Monday evening, the 10th pictures of the Camp Funston boys will be shown under auspices Pastor's Aid Society. All of the St. Louis boys are seen separately in one scene of this picture. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Mr. Engene Ruth, Jr., and Mr. Alfred Lynch, representatives of the Mississippi Valley Trust Co., made inspiring talks to a large audience last Sunday. They told in a clear and concise manner how the new building project had been handled and particularly how the financial end had been taken care of and is to be taken care of in the future. The members of the old mother's church and their friends were delighted to hear from the lips of these bankers such encouraging statements of the financial condition of our great church and also the very high esteem and confidence these gentlemen have for our beloved pastor. We rejoice and boast in the fact that God in his wise providence gave us 'an extraordinary man' for an extra- ordinary task. Just twelve months ago last Sunday our pastor survived and took charge of our discourages and depleted people and almost at once as if by magic we found our church organized and marching forth to a great victory. He combines unusual qualities that are seldom possessed by one man. He is an executive, financier and pulpiter. Nothing less in a leader could have brought us to such glorious heights as we now occupy in such short time. As part of the pastor's anniversary program a very beautiful and masterful paper of historical character, which was the production of Mr. Jos. Nabora's was read by the pastor and the Rev. C. Baldan. Auditions were made by Mr. H. H. Jones and Dr. R. H. Cole, who suggested that the congregation give to Pastor Maxwell $100 as a token of their appreciation of his untiring efforts on their behalf. There was a hearty response to this suggestion to the amount of $78.30 and many promises to make it $100 next Sunday. The Improvement Club presented the pastor with $5, the B. Y. P. U. presented $10, and the Usher Board gave a very useful present. A large number of members and friends pledged themselves to pay various sums to the New Building Fund monthly. The New Drive was a great success. Watch the Honor Roll grow. If you want to know Who is Who, so far as paying for the new building is concerned, watch the Honor Roll. At 3 o'clock the Order of Eastern Star held excellent services, with us, and one of the strongest sermons ever preached appropriate to the occasion was delivered by Rev. Newton, of St. Peter's Church. Communion, covenant and Christian fellowship were extended 16:32 new members at the evening service. Sunday at 11 a.m. the Sunday school will present a special Children's Day program. It will also be Baby Day at the First Church and Pastor Maxwell will dedicate to God all infants brought forward and issue a certificate of dedication to each one. Parents who are interested in the present and future life of their dear little offes should bring them out and dedicate them to God. There are no restrictions. All are welcome. Immediately after the close of the morning service the Mission Circle will meet in the lecture room. MT. OLIVE BAPSTIST CHURCH NO. 2 1405 Morgan Good services all day at Mt.

Houseley, Reporter. WAYMAN A. M. E. CHURCH The services at Wayman began by early morning service, after which there was a baptizing at St. Paul. The 11 o'clock services were well attended and the pastor, Rev. A. R. Dobbins, preached an eloquent sermon, beautiful music was rendered by the choir and several persons were united to the church. The 8 o'clock service was beneficial and satisfactory to all present. The membership of the church is rapidly increasing; seldom a service but someone joins the church. This is due largely to the untiring efforts of the pastor and to the upright life he lives in and among his people. The Sunday school and Endeavor were well attended, and visitors were much impressed by the 'manner in which these organizations are conducted. Step by step we are advancing under the leadership of our noble pastor, Rev. A. P. Harrold. He preaches with greater power than ever, before.

Wednesday night he held his third Quarterly Conference, which will go Sunday morning, Dr. Johnson will bring the message. A great sermon is anticipated.

(Arkansas Gazette, May 28) should be enforced throughout this land a. A few lawless men in that state, whi table record in the lynching line, have in a week. These men are doing terri heir state and the country The law should be enforced throughout this land and especially in Georgia. A few lawless men in that state, which has won a most unenviable record in the lynching line, have lynched five negroes within a week. These men are doing terrible hurt to themselves, their state and the country. The news from Georgia will get into the German papers soon if it has not already gotten there, and we may be certain that this news, horrible enough when only the facts are given, will be made doubly horrible by the German newspapers that are used by German government for war purposes. An important part of the United States is to win strength in Germany for the allies by showing the German people the brutality of the German government. The news of one of the lynchings in Georgia, handled for German consumption under the direction of an official of the German government, will do irreparable injury to our propaganda in the central empires. Lynching should be put down because it is lawlessness of the most outrageous and detestable sort. It cannot be justified even on the ground that it prevents crime. It makes criminals of the men who take part in it and it actually increases the crimes for which men are lynched. But now there is another reason, though the first reason is amply sufficient, why Lynching should be stopped as it should have been years ago. The whole country is being damaged by a few lawless men in Georgia. This lawlessness affects our war plans and our standing with our allies. They know nothing of Georgia's local conditions in England or in France, even if knowledge of these conditions would help. Our battle cry "A World Safe for Democracy" does not fit in with such harbidity. All of the lynchings do not take place in Georgia, but Georgia has starred in this line recently, and for this reason the Georgia cases are cited. If the peace officers of the counties in which the lynchings have taken place are inefficient they should be removed. The Governor of Georgia has ordered troops to the lawless districts and it is to be hoped the troops will bring peace and order at once. If it be true as charged, that the Negroes who committed the crime or crimes that caused the lynchings in Georgia were led into trouble by German agents, then the German agents and not the Negroes should be first handled. The Negroes of the South are doing their part in this war and doing it well. They are furnishing men for the ranks of the army and those that stay at home are buying Liberty Bonds and contributing to the Red Cross. Our Negroes should be protected. If the people of this country actually demand lynchings as a diversion let's try lynching a number of the lynchers. We are very much pleased to have such expressions come from a newspaper published by white people in a southern city. It shows that the white people of the country are beginning to realize that the monster race prejudice is having its telling effects upon the nation at this critical time. The editors of the great metropolitan dailies, could at this particular time render to the government a supreme service by giving their support to the Anti Lyrching Bill that is now before the Congress of the United States. Lawlessness, lynchings, discriminations and other forms of injustices that have to be forced upon the Negro in the United States is already re-acting against the nation at this time. And it is our hope that the men of the affairs will soon learn the lesson as taught by the late Booker T. Washington "You cannot keep a man down in a Ditch unless you stay down with him. Primary Election, TUESDAY, AUGUST 6, 1918 VOTE FOR M. HARTMANN REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR CIRCUIT JUDGE A great many property owners are repairing, repainting and repapering at the present time and it is noticeable that the Colored owners have failed to give their own race an opportunity to do the work. This is deplorable in view of the fact that there are a number of skilled Colored tradesmen in St. Louis who are barred by the Union. Almost invariably, the persons who fail to give patronage to members of their race are the ones who are the first to make a big noise about race loyalty and race unity, and are the last to practice their preachings. They are the real parasites of the race, and do more to retard its advancement than any others. There are a number of white business places in Negro neighborhoods, existing entirely upon Negro patronage, but giving no employment to members of the race. Their trade is usually heavy; the colored people pour a stream of money into their coffers, but none of it returns in the circulation. Anything that looks like political campaign will have hard sailing this fall, especially so far as the Negro vote is concerned. There are rough times ahead for the old guard. Political slates are not fashionable this year. Looks like the people are to have something to say about the coming election. A west end druggist has opened his soak water counter to explored since a race man has established a place for their convenience in the neighborhood. This is a test of felicity that will bear washing. MORE COLORED MEN. FILE Attorney Hunger G. Phillips filed Thursday for Justice of the Peace in the Fourth District. Dr. W. M.

Ora Parks, Company F, Regiment 303, Steve, A. E. F., Somewhere in France, writes to The Argus, telling of conditions affecting the Colored boys who have gone to France. He says the Colored boys of America are doing their best to accomplish a record that will make history. He speaks of the situation in France as pathetic, and says our boys are straining every bit of their ability to help overcome it. He says the boys are confident that people over here don't realize the hardships they are constantly enduring, but believe with the earnest prayers of their friends and relatives at home they will soon be able to tell the story in person. Parks, St. Louis address is 1112 S. Cardinal avenue. Floyd Smith, Hillabore, IL., is the first Colored boy from Montgomery county to enlist in the Navy. He left St. Louis Tuesday for Norfolk, Va.

Reed, exalted ruler of Washington Lodge of Elks is able to be out after several days' illness. When you persistently refuse to forgive the mistakes, the wrongs and the shortcomings of others, you chain your mind to these wrongs and you may be drawn into these very mistakes yourself. One of the truths that shall make you free is to forgive excessively to forgive to the uttermost, whatever the condition may be.

LESSON FOR JUNE 9 MEGUS DENIAL LESSON TEXT—Marks 14:10-72 GOLDEN TEXT—Watch and pray that ye enter not into temptation—Mark 14:17-23 DEVOTIONAL READING—John 15:1-17 ADDITIONAL MATERIAL FOR TEACHERS—Matthew 26:20-29; Lake 22:17- John 12:1-35 PRIMARY TOPIC—Jesus and his disciples JUNIOR TOPIC—Jesus betrayed and denied. I. Judas' Bargain With the Chief Priests (vv. 10, 11). This black crime was committed immediately following the beautiful act of devotion by Mary. The motive actuating Judas was avarice. This awful depth of infamy was not reached at a bound. Because he did not master this besetting sin at the beginning, he was conquered by it. 11. The Last Passover (vv. 12-25). 1. The preparation (vv. 12-16). In reply to the disciples' inquiry as to where they should prepare the Passover for him, Jesus told them to go into the city where they would meet a man bearing a platter of water, whom they should follow. In the house to which they were thus led would be found a guest chamber — a large upper room—where they could take ready the Passover. This is an example of Christ's superhuman knowledge. He not only knew that the disciples would meet this man, but he knew that Judas had bargained for his betrayal. 2. The betrayal announced (vv. 17-21). The betrayal was to be by one of the disciples who was eating with Jesus. This betrayal had been predicted, though such prediction did not interfere with the free act of Judas in the betrayal. It was because of this act of treachery being freely committed by Judas that Jesus pronounced upon him the awful doom—"Good were it for that man if he had never been born." 3. The bread and the cup instituted (vv. 22-25). III. The Disciples' Cowardice Foretold (vv. 23-31). In spite of their cowardly turning from the Saviour, he assures them that after his resurrection he would go before them into Galilee. Peter protested against such act of disloyalty by the disciples, and assured the Lord that though all the rest should forsake him, yet he would not. The Lord showed him how little he knew even of his own best resolve, telling him that on that very night he would deny him thrice. All the disciples said the same thing. IV. The Agony in Gethsemane (vv. 33-42). The clear vision of the coming anguish of the Cross, accentuated by the utter failure of the disciples to understand or believe, brought upon him an indescribable anguish of soil, so be took Peter, James, and John and went apart to pray. The cup of agony was not mere death, but the sacrificial death for sin, under the weight of the world's guilt. 1. The first prayer (vy, 35-38). 1. The first prayer (vv. 83-83). Notwithstanding the darkness of the hour, he prayed in faith accompanied with a willingness to obey. When he came and found the three sleeping instead of praying, he commanded them to watch and pray so as to be fortified against temptation. V. The Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus (vv. 43-52). 1. The sign to the mob (vv. 43-47). With the basest of hypocrisy Judas pointed out Jesus to the mob by a kiss, the sign of love. 2. Jesus forsaken by all (vv. 48-52). At the sight of the Master's betrayal and arrest, one of his disciples attempted to defend him by resorting to the sword; but seeing that Jesus made no attempt at resistance, they all fled. Their courage failed them in the hour of trial. How little man knows of his weaknesses until the crucial hour. VI. Jesus Before the Sanhedrin (vv 53-65). 1. Contradictory testimony of false witnesses (vv. 53-60). High Priest's Questionnaire (vv. 60 65). (1) "What is it that these witness against thee?" To this Jesus was silent, showing that no evidence had yet been given worthy of answer. (2) "Art thou the Christ?" To this he definitely replied: "I aur" and quotes a Scripture passage which they recognize as referring to the Messiah. This claim they answer with buffeting and the most shameful treatment. VII. Peter Denies Lord (vv. 60-72) Though Peter loves Jesus, yet in the hour of supreme trial he fails, Grievous as his sigh is, it is not like that of Judas. His failure was due to: 1. Bountiful self-defense (vv. 29-31). 2. Lack of watchfulness (vv. 37). 3. Neglect of prayer (vv. 38). 4. Service in the energy of the flesh (vv. 47). 5. Following Jesus afar off (v. 54) 6. Seek comfort among the Lord's engines (v. 67; compart Lake 22:55). 7. Open denial (v. 68-72). THE ST. LOUIS ABOUT 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 ready of provinç merit. Scalp by 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 Quinaseap. Quinaseap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally cocoanut oil, and is a thorough cleanser. Quinaseap 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 Quinaseap, 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 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 Quinade mentioning the name of this paper.

H. O. Ligarfield 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 removed; 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 is your assurance of good work. A call will convince you. DR. E. JUNIOR TURNER, chropodist, 4257 w Labdabie Ave., phone Colfax 1097-J. Hours 8 to 10 a.m.; 2 to 3 p.m. Sunday by appointment.

The lots are 30 feet wide and 144 feet long, making excellent building lots, and will be improved by us in such a way as to make them work for you for a great many years, earning handsome yearly profits on your investment. Lack of space here prevents us from giving you all the details of this unusual offer, but we have a circular which fully explains every particular of it and which we will be glad to send you on request. The circular explains how and why the proposition was originated, how each lot will be improved and developed, and shows you the possible returns on the investment. This is an entirely new proposition, and nothing like it, to our knowledge has ever been offered before. It is meeting with remarkable success and the demand for the lots is increasing every day. The number of lots is limited and from all indications we believe that they will all be sold in a comparatively short time. Quick action is therefore necessary, and we suggest that you send for full particulars at once. In addition to the circular on Orchardville, we will also send you one of our beautiful booklets, "The Road to Independence" which gives you many bits of interesting information about Homestead Orchard and Benzie County, Michigan.
