HON.L.C.DYER WILL ADV ADDRESS NEGRO WA LIBERTY CONGRESS WI
At a special meeting of the Negro Business League, in the Woodman Hall Tuesday night, the members voted an indorsement of Homer G. Phillips for Justice of the Peace and Charles H. Turpin for Constable of the 4th District, President A. E. Malone in calling the meeting to order stated that it was important that the league take action to insure the election of a Colored Justice and Constable in the district. Attorney Phillips, being without opposition was indorsed at once. The members, however, indulged in considerable discussion on the Constable case as there are two Colored candidates, Turpin and A. J. Edwards in the field. The speakers, barring one, all expressed the opinion that an effort should be made to assure the election of one, and the organization so voted. In the vote to select the candidate, Turpin received all but one of the votes. The members pledged themselves to give time and money in an effort to elect him and to call upon the Republican administration to support their choice. Dr. W. M. Riley candidate for the
Author of Anti-Lynching Bill to Speak in Washington June 24. National capital taking lively interest in historic gathering when colored race Will Approach Federal Government for Rights of Democracy.
Washington, D. C., June 20, 1918—The delegates coming from all parts of the country June 21 to the national capital in the Colored Liberty Drive for that historic gathering—when a great race of citizens will approach its federal government to seek the equal rights denied to it; at the height of the world war for democracy, will hear the new anti-lynching congressman, Representative L. C. Dyer, of Missouri, speak to the assembled host in the Wesley Zion Church, 14th and Corcoran-Sts., N. W., on Monday night, June 24.
Chairman Maurice W. Spencer is kept busy at headquarters of Local Committee of Arrangements, 1007 Thirteenth Street, W. anstering inquiries as pooled accommodations. The preliminary sessions of this historic National Colored Liberty- Congress for World Democracy for Colored Americans will begin Friday, June 21, at 9 a.m. with meeting of the National Board of Managers, with delegate session and welcome exercises at 10:30 a.m. While the official organization will not take place until Monday, June 24, at 10 a.m. the preparatory work on representations to Congress in behalf of the Race will be important and early arrival of delegates is strongly advised.
The National Headquarters at Boston is working day and night and reports that all parts of the country are taking eagerly to the movement. Both the Bethel and Zion New England Conferences have endorsed the Congress, both wings of the New England K. of P. have elected delegates and the Supreme Cancellors of both wings have joined the National Board of Managers as has the supreme head of the Elks. The C. M. E. Church at Chicago also elected a delegate.
While 10,000 Colored drafted men are being called and entrained for the camps, the Colored race will be seeking assurances from the legislative branch of the National Government that their relatives may be safe from disfranchisement, from Jim Crowism, from lynching, when these soldiers are far off in Europe fighting for democracy for all. Such legislative friends as Congressman Madden of Illinois, Congressman Tinkham of Massachusetts, Congressman Mason of Illinois, Congressman Pess of Ohio, Congressman James of Washington, will be addressing them and alike, enquiring Colored leaders will speak at the mass meetings June 24, 25 and 26.
NOTICE
Dr. Edw. L. Grant, who has been called to the colors, wishes to announce to his patrons that he has transferred all of his unfinished work to Dr. N. O. Bracy, corner Sarah and Finney Ave., with whom he has made arrangements for all adjustments. Dr. Grant highly recommends Dr. Bracy, who is proving himself to be a dentist of the highest efficiency.
The St. Louis Argus
State Legislature, was present and was also informed by the League.
Protest Against Unauthoritatively Using Men's Names
President Malone called the attention of the members of the League, to the fact that a benefit entertainment was to be given at the Pythian Hall Thursday night, and the names of several citizens were printed on the placard, as members of committees, without their knowledge and consent. He urged that some action be taken to stop such methods. All of the members present, whose names were on the card, stutted it was without their knowledge.
It was also, said that candidates for nomination on the Republican ticket had given large sums for the benefit on the strength that by doing so they would be supported by the men whose names were on the card. The League went on record as being opposed to the methods of advertising, and condemned the promiscuous-using of men's names.
A committee was appointed to call upon the proper authorities in an effort to have the practice stopped.

REV. B. G. SHAW BACK TO METRO POLITAN CHURCH
The great A. M. E. Zion Church rejoices in the return of their pastor, Rev. B. G. Shaw. The Conference adjourned last Sunday night in Jefferson City, Mo., with the good news of above stated. From what we know of the A. M. E. Zion Church connection, no man is more deserving than the Rev. B. G. Shaw.
He has absolutely made good and is surrounded with a host of loyal friends, white and black. May his beginning and ending upon his new duties and responsibilities be glorious. He will preach Sunday morning and evening. He has a burning message and a wonderful story to relate in regard to the annual Conference. Hear him.

THE ODD FELLOWS TWILIGHT PARADE AND $4000 DRIVE
Odd Fellows twilight parade and $4,000 drive will begin at 5:30 Monday night, June 24.
The line of march will begin at the hall, 2923 Morgan St, thence west on Morgan to Channing, south on Channing to Pine, east on Pine to Cardinal, south to Lawton, east to Beaumont, north to Pine, west on Pine to Union Memorial Church, where the formal rally launching will take place.
There will be a program including selections from 3 bands and speeches by speakers prominent in ministerial, fraternal and all public affairs.
Come out and witness the beginning of this monstrous drive. All churches and fraternal organizations in the city are especially invited to be present. For many years the G. U. O. of O. F. has had to hold its meetings in a residential hall that is inadequate for these progressive times and for racial development. $4,000 must be raised by September 1 to canceel that big standing mortgage on the old hall, located at 1923 Morgan St.
This property is 69x134 feet. This effort is to erect a more modern building there, then Odd Fellowism will have its rightful place in the fraternal organization of St. Louis and the state.
Plans are shaping up splendidly for the Y. M. C. A. meeting on July 8. The aim of the workers is to raise $3,000 at this meeting and thus bring the fund to $30,000 mark.
The workers are spurred on by the fact that the Brooklyn Association which was begin just prior to the Pine Street Department has already been dedicated and is now occupied. The Brooklyn building was dedicated free of debt. Every cent subscribed by Colored people was paid in. The Board of Managers of the Pine Street Department is determined that the Pine Street Department shall have the same distinction and every cent of the money pledged shall be paid in before the building is occupied.
Mr. Jones, secretary of the Pine Street Department was detailed, to go with the 164 men who left for Funston. On leaving he expressed that the rally which was planned for July 8th will be a great success.
This meeting which is to be held July 8th will be at Union Memorial Church, Leffingwell and Pine, 4 p. m.
PLEASANT GREEN BAPTIST GO OVER THE TOP
Pleasant Green Baptist Church went over the top Monday night June 17th, raising $3,800 to burn the mortgage. There were seven majors and fifty-two captains in the race. Mrs. Julia Walton won the Majors' prize of $50, raising $800. Mrs. Amanda Jackson won the captains' prize of $25 and Mrs. Alberta Beasley won the membership prize of $10. Dr. J. E. Hurt, president of the Trustee Board, deserves the honor for this great success that he worked out with the cooperation of the officers and members and friends of the church.
Complete report will appear in next week's issue.

THE DOOM OF THE KAISER
"The Doom of the Kaiser" will be the subject discussed at the Bible chautauqua; Sunday night by Evangelist U. Willis. In the presentation of this subject he will interpret the ancient prophecies of Daniel which deal with last day conditions. The interest in the meetings at the chautauqua is steadily growing. The evangelist is using stereo-opticon pictures to illustrate many of his subjects. In his sermon on the "Last Generation," he showed that the dark day of 1780 and the falling of the stars in 1833 are signs that show the approaching 1 of the world and that these signs happened at the very time that these signs were predicted in the 24th of Matthew.

SOLDIER IN FRANCE WRITES TO MOTHER
Mrs. Crittenden Clark, wife of the well-known attorney, has received a letter from her son Engene who is a volunteer and now "somewhere in France." Engene's letter is typical of many others that have been received here and we publish it to show the sentiment of the boys "Over There." H. Q. Co. 370h U. S. N. G.
Dear Mother: 1. 1918.
I have been so busy I could not write to you before. I arrived here safe after a nice trip and am feeling fine. Was lucky indeed on the trip as I was not seasick, during the trip, but you can imagine how I felt. I was like a drunken man for three days on nothing but water. Many of the boys were seasick, but it was the first time I ever saw a person drunk on nothing but water. If you had been on that ship you would have been drunk also, never saw anything like it. We are nicely located here and are in constant trimming. The country is very fine and the people are extremely congenial. We are all anxious to get in the thick of the fight and believe me, you will hear from our regiment when we start. All the boys are like a race horse at the post ready to go. Don't know how long we will be here, but we are ready to do our but. There is one continuous line of soldiers continuously passing from early morn till late at night. Send me a box of Camel cigarettes and a box of cigars. I know you don't want me to smoke cigarettes but when one is at leisure a cigarette from home makes him feel just a bit better. Well I will write you more next time, and believe me of I get a chance the Kaiser is a gun goner. Give my love to all the folks and tell them I expect to return with a record for St. Louis. Tell my dogs "baby" and pat them for me. Tell Pop I will write him one day soon. With love and kisses, I am your son.
ROCKEFELLER JR.
AT CAMP GRANT
Cump, Grant, Rockford, Ill., June 20.
Mr. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., was the guest of the Y. M. C. A. men for several days this week. Several addresses were made to the men during his stay here in Camp. Mr. Rockefeller is one of the large contributors to the Y. M. C. A. work. He is also active in other religious work.
The distinguished speaker gave the Y. men the following definition for success, viz.: "The success of any individual lies in doing the common things of life uncommonly well." He told of how the home of his father is being turned into a meeting place for certain women from all station of life, who are doing their bit for the government. "I am thinking of a little woman," said Mr. Rockefeller, "who comes to these meetings and knits. A woman who previously had been denied many of the necessities of life, and of pleasant society, but who now is looked up to by all the women who come there as their leader because of her efficient work manhood." There was a bit of pathos in Mr. Rockefeller's voice as he thus spoke.
Mr. Rockefeller spoke of one occasion when he had interviewed his father concerning his interest in Bible school work with boys. The older Rockefeller remarked humorously, "Well, John, I guess it is good for you, but it is awfully hard on the boys."
At a reception given Mr. Rockefeller on the day of his arrival by Y. M. C. A. Men, Colored and white, he spoke of his intimate friendship with Dr. Washington and commended the work of Tuskegee Institute.
In speaking to the Colored soldiers Mr. Rockefeller said that he had always held the Colored people in high regard, that he had been trained that way and that he believed in all humanity. He said that he was sure that when the Colored soldiers met the Hunt they would acquit them like men.
The first annual thanksgiving services of the United Loyal Neighbors of the World will be held at Lane Tabernacle, 1966 Fairfax, Sunday, June 23. To make this world a decent place to live in, learn to love thy neighbor. Don't fail to see who your neighbor.

CLASS 1 DRAFTEES COLORED SOLDIERS PARADE SATURDAY AGAIN ON FRONT
The handsome home of Mr. and Mrs. Schoffeld Robinson, 4214 A. W. Cook, was the scene of a very beautiful wedding Saturday evening, June 15, when Mrs. Mac Robinson, their daughter, became the bride of Mr. Frank C. Cox, of 4181 Wost, Bell, in the presence of a large gathering of friends and relatives. Rev. Father D. L. Harris, of All Saints' Church, dedicating
Just why one wedding should be postier than the other is hard to conceive, but everyone is conspiring on its beauty. The decorations were carried out in pink and white. There were sweet peas, asparagus ferns, potted plants and flowers everywhere. Men delssohn's Wedding March was rendered by Mrs. C. A. Hancock, and Lady Emma Phillips sang in exquisite tone. "Be loved, I be Morn."
The bride passed down the flower decked stairs, preceded by little Miss Marguerite Crushett, the flower girl, carrying a basket of sweet peas and Miss Beatrice Tyler, the bridesmaid. She was met by the groom, attended by Mr. T. A. Dickerson, the host man, and given in marriage by her father, in the living room amid a mass of greenery and flowers.
The bride, a perfect beauty, wore a heavy white wedding dress, draped on the sides, made with a bodice effect, trimmed in chantilly lice and pearls, the shirt short and bonnet A long
The St. Louis Colored men in Class 1 of the selective draft will parade as Saturday morning, instead of last Thursday as we was first arranged. The parade will leave the corner of Twelfth and Chestnut at 11:30 a.m. It will be led by the mounted police and will include two bands, the Pythian and the Odd Pellows.

The boys will be reviewed at the City Hall by city officials. The subject of the parade is to give the business men an opportunity to see the boys, who are being, highly praised for the advancement they have made in a few weeks of training.
The following additional men have passed the examinations and have been selected as instructors of drafted men: W. H. Owens, James A. Watson, A. S. Lavigne, Allie Smith, Peter Brooks, W. Bowers, John Givens, P. A. Pinn and W. H. Hughes.
The 145 drafted men in the June call were sent to 'Camp Einstein' Friday morning at 9 o'clock. Although the delayed start could not be announced in the Argus, a large crowd was on hand to give the boys an enthusiastic fare well.

the head with a cluster of orange blossoms. She carried a shawl, bauquet of roses and blossoms of the valley, and wore a string of pearls, the gift of the group.
The bridesmaid was attractively gowned in a shrimp colored goggette, made with a blue turquoise bodysuit trimmed in chantilly lace. She also wore an ornamental string of pearls and carried a bouquet of Opalina roses.
After the wedding, a reception was held. The cinder of the bridal table, in the dining room was completely taken up by a large ribbon wedding gown with artistic decorations. Many valuable and useful presents were received among them a collection of cut glass, enameled ware, linen and crockery.
The temple departed and showers of tide and congratulations, in a touring car to Lebanon, Ill., for a short stay, and on their return will be at home, temporarily, with the bride's parents.

Negro soliders "Somewhere on
France" have again moved up to the
first page in the war news. This time
the distinction goes to the colored ser-
cant of a regiment. The report tells
of the Colored men, being shylocked
by enemy planes while they were on the
match, eager to shell marked roads in
France.
The Colored smoothed the stairings, and
ordered that the men should go off the
road and be flat on the ground.

like a cover of small and amoun-

the swooping hawks, for the road war
clear and the men were crafted blak-
lots against the gray earth.
The road was clear for all but one man. Exed in his place, adults holding the flag high and steady against the breeze, was the color bearer.
"Did you hear the sound to let down?" a lieutenant asked.
"Yes, sir." quite respectfully, "but whilde I can stand up, I don't never mean to let this flag touch the dirt."
The Colonel heard and he did not need to stop and ponder.
"Let him stay, where he is," he said.
So the fireous flew past and disappeared and the flag flapped, hard and clear, unharmed. Then the regiment reformed, and plodded on down the muddy road to meet their new command in arms, and to do their work.

ST. LOUIS DENTIST IS ASSAULTED IN SOUTH
One Of Five Men Called To Colors Was On His Way To Camp Cody, Forced To Leave Train.
Ward has been received in St. Louis that Dr. S. P. Jones, of 103 N. Jefferson, who had been called by the government, to Camp Cody, Dehling, N. M. was compelled to leave the train at Texarkana because of indignities offered by the train conductor. The telephone was to Dr. Darrington Weaver and the information it contained was as follows: "On leaving Texarkana I was ordered by Train conductor Ford, train No. I, to go on my coach. I presented to showing my government projects. The conductor said, 'I shall have' you arrested." I told him to do so, and he pulled me by the arm roughly and took my grip and led me to the day coach. I decided to get off, if I could not go by orders of the government. So I left the train at the next stop. I am writing Major General Barry at Chicago."
Dr. James was in Marshall, Tennessee when he sent the telegram Wednesday afternoon. "It was not learned what steps he took to reach Camp Cody. The St Louis Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People wired the National headquarters Thursday night and it is expected the matter will be immediately taken up with the War Department at Washington.

ST. PAUL A. M. E. CHUCH- NOTER
Dr. W. R. Johnson, having been selected to preach the baccalaureate seminon for the graduates of Summer High School, had made special preparation for the occasion selecting for his text, Corinthians, 15th chapter, and 10th verse. We all knew from the beginning what to expect, and not only the students, and graduates, were impressed with the great task that lay before them but it was freely admitted by the other ones, that they had never heard on this plan before. If the graduates failed to reach their goal of usefulness it will not be the fault of the efforts put forth by Prof. S. F. Williams and his efficient corps of teachers together with the home training and crowding and finishing touch put on by the eminent divine Sunday morning. Playing your part well, doing your full duty to your fellow man, your country and your God, was some of the wholesome food dished out by the speaker. While the pastor laid great stress on the achievements and accomplishments received through books, science, etc., yet the pastor did not fail to have the students and his hearts to understand that all great and true knowledge comes from Him, the great Teacher.
Prof. S. L. Williams, Principal of Summer High School, who has labored so earnestly and untrifling, was present and we take it for granted that he loved his pupils so well that he followed them as far as he could go. Prof. Williams will never die, his works will live forever. The students showed their appreciation of the sermon by the tapt attention given the speaker. The lady usheres who assisted the regular ushers, reflected credit on themselves to say the least for the way and manner they handled the enormous crowd.

Sunday School Notes
Just to get square with Mrs. Claud
Reeves, formerly Miss Myrle Payne,
for slipping her marriage by them, the
Sunday school teachers gave the bride
a pleasant surprise last Tuesday evening,
at the home of Mrs. A. Brown,
4109 Fairfax Ave. Mrs. Reeves thought she
was attending the regular teachers'
meeting, which is held every Tuesday
evening. After the meeting the door to
an adjoining room was thrown open and
Miss Frances Howell began playing
Mendelssohn's Wedding March, and the
guests all marched in. The bridegroom
was also in hiding and came in at the
proper time. Every guest brought a
beautiful present. All of the Sunday
school teachers and several scholars
were present, and it was just another
one of those Sunday school affairs that
wound up in clear.
Rev. N. L. Smith, teacher of the new progressive class, is boosting his class from the pulpit. The result was both the financial and attendance banners for this class last Sunday: After seeing the results the pastor boosted again. Both morning and night, besides this the class has agents all over the church. It is well known that the class has one aim in view, that is to get the Morning Star. But the Stars argue that they are not excited; they held the banner for six consecutive Sundays, won a cash prize from the Sunday school, and also a ticket to the district convention; they also state that Sunday was the first time the progressives had won first banner for over two months. Everyone is glad to see the friendly rivalry.
A boost to the progressives is also a boost for the Morning-Star. We have the most progressive Sunday school in the city. After paying for all the Sunday school literature and the church assessment, which is $10.00 each month, the Sunday school now has in the treasury $155.00. Join the new Liberty Class.

The Race Service Bureau, with offices in the Pythina Temple Building, 3137 Pine St., is doing much to mold a favorable and more laudable opinion of the American Negro. The Bureau is sending out thousands of letters and other literature to white people appealing in a most sensible and convincing way for better treatment for the Negro race. They are asking that white Americans raise their voices against mob violence that Negro men and women be given better opportunities to earn a livelihood. They set forth in no uncertain tone the part that Negroes are taking in the World War for world democracy, they are undertaking the gigantic task of creating a favorable sentiment for the race in order to offset the unfavorable sentiment which has prevailed for more than half a century. In the main, the Bureau is sowing seeds of friendship among the white people for the Negro. The work is highly commendable and should receive the wholehearted support of every man and woman who feels that the race deserves better treatment and better opportunities.
The Bureau is also preparing for distribution of pamphlets regarding Negroes to conduct themselves in public or to gain the respect of both white and Colored people. Another feature is a plan of education to discourage the use of the term "Nigger." The motto of the Bureau is "All Orcause of Prevention Is Better Than a Pound of Cure."

Some where in France, Negro soldiers are making history. Some where in France, Ethiopia is stretching forth her hand to God.
It has leaked out, according to authentic reports, that for a long while American Negro troops have been holding a front line of trenches in battle scarred France; not only have they made good in point of prisoners captured, but wherever they have been stationed they have gained the greatest respect and admiration of the French people and are idolized by the French children.
Strange as it may seem, to some of those who are working overtime to try and make sensible people believe that Negro men are a menace to the white women of America, there has not been a single instance of any complaint by the women of France as to the discourtesy of any American Negro soldier.
It is no uncommon sight in the villages where Negro troops are billeted to see a stalwarth black, man dressed in the uniform of the American Army assisting some French women to carry a burden. Often, the sight of a Negro soldier helping a French woman to wash clothes or dishes, affords one the opportunity to wonder why such a hue and cry is raised in America as to the danger of being near a Negro man.
"Soldats noirs le'Amerique" as Negro troops are known in France, are making history that is destined to outlive any shur that have been cast in the past as to the bravery of Negro soldiers or the gentlemanly bearing of the average Negro civilian.
As to the fighting qualities of the "Soldats noirs le'Amerique" we think that the underpaid murderers of the Kaiser can testify most efficiently. Surely General Pershing knew just what he wanted, when he requested that Negro soldiers be sent him in the largest number possible.

Just at this time when the call is long and loud, for all true Americans to lay down petty differences and all join in and help win the war; the call to sacrifice is knocking at the door of every home. Family ties are rent assunder and the pride of the home is being taken and rushed to the battle front that life if necessary or the supreme sacrifice is to be made. We are called upon the sacrifice appetites for luxuries and pleasures. Mr. McAdoo the President's son-in-law, has asked the men to wear patches on their pants---SOME SACRIFICE.
There is yet a sacrifice that the American people must make if we and our allies are to be victorious, over the enemy. They must sacrifice Race Prejudice. It is stated that in the camp life of the soldiers, race prejudice is fostered as one of cherished pride of the American white man. Negro soldiers are officially segregated. Of course, this has an awful effect upon the moral of the Negro. Not only upon those that are bearing arms in defense of the nation, but also upon those that are left behind. Race prejudice is a monster that should be fought vigorously. In as much as we all want to win the war and a united people is necessary, let us lay aside prejudice even if at a great sacrifice. Let's win the war.

The Loyalty Demonstration Thursday, June 13, was a wonderful example of Negro fidelity to the Stars and Stripes. Primarily it was a benefit for the Colored Women's Unit of the Council of National Defense, but it afforded an opportunity for a race of people to give vent to the feelings of patriotism pent by discriminations in other demonstrations since the beginning of the war. As editorially stated by a morning daily, "Nothing was needed to establish the loyalty of the Negroes. They have ever been loyal." An opportunity was needed, however, for them to feel free to express their feelings and the Loyalty Day filled the want. It was gloriously and magnificently executed and was a credit to the energetic little lady, Mrs. Victoria Clay-Haley, who conceived and managed the event to so great a success. It will have a pronounced effect upon the white people who as yet have not learned the psychology of the Negro. This is evident from the liberal press notices published the next day and the words of the white speakers at the Coliseum. When Postmaster Colin M. Selph, during his impassioned remarks declared, "At this time, when America has thrown in her lot to free the world for democracy and humanity, the American race knows no distinction of creed or color." We hope these words were prophetic of a fair and liberal policy in the future to the colored employees over whom he exercises jurisdiction.

The season for political promises has returned. If some of the old familiar ones are restructured it will be found that the are too frayed by time and usage to be recognizable. Such as, "I will see that you get Colored nurses and interns in the City Hospital." "I will take Colored men on the fire department." "I will make uniforms black and white." "Please to indulge, they can serve no purpose now, the times, have changed."
There is danger of a revolt in the 4th District if the Republican slate makers fail to indulge the two Negro candidates recommended by the Business League.
Opponents of the arrangement for the big-Loyalty Demonstration, held June 13, are keeping awful quiet these days.
The Republicans are calling upon the reserves to help meet the coming democratic offensive. In order to quiet the unrest among Negro voters a number of appointments have been made. This move started, as usual, with the junior service. Other appointments are W. H. Parker to the position of head janitor, Paul Moseley to leadership in the Assessor's office, and it is said that Warren Brown, of the 23rd Ward, is to get the position which Herbert T. Meadows refused to accept.

DEMONSTRATORS
St. Louis, Mo., June 19, 1918
Editor St. Louis Argus:
Dear Sir:
Since the establishment of the National Food Conservation Department, and the many orders and instructions issued by Mr. Hoover and his aids, I have tried to cooperate with all persons and committees. On the above date, I noticed that a demonstration on the canning of fruits and vegetables was being held at 1144 Easton Ave., and entered the place to learn what I could to help me in my efforts at canning during the summer. Judge's surprise and humiliation, when the lady in charge very coolly informed that "we do not demonstrate to colored women, there are enough colored women to get together and hold their own demonstrations." In answer to my protests, she informed me that she was setting under instructions. Please look into this and let us know where we stand.
Very respectfully,
MRS. GEO. B. JONES;

Our present membership is somewhat gratifying. Under the splendid leadership of Sir M. Compton, C. C., supported by such officers as Wm. Hinch, V. C. C. M. Pope, Prelate, W. H. King, M. of W./Rev. R.

HIGH ARMY OFFICIAL SPOKE AT
UNION MEMORIAL CHURCH
Major W. H. Luedde, president of the Examining Board of the Medical Reserve Corps, U. S. A., for the state of Missouri, spoke to a congregation of more than two thousand people at Union Memorial M. - E. Church last Sunday night, on the subject, "The Duty of the Colored Physician in the Present World Crisis."*
French official war pictures sent by the War Department, through Major Eudde to the Medical Forum, were shown.
In the course of his address the Major said: "In recommending doctors for commissions I have recognized no color line."
"Continuing, the speaker emphasized "for every white doctor in St. Louis there are 400 white persons and for every Colored doctor there are 1,000 Colored persons and by reason of this deficiency in Colored doctors the government will not urge any more Colored physicians to accept commissions for fear that the civil population might suffer." Major Laudede was escorted to the platform by Dr. Chas. H. Phillips and Lieut. C. E. Herriott and introduced by Dr. Darrington Weaver, who con-
gratulated the Major upon his complete lack of racial prejudice, as was evidenced by his recommendations for commissions in the army and with uplifted hand Dr. Weaver declared that "It is such men as Major Luedde who made it possible for the government to recognize the man who carries the pill bag is as much a part of the national defense as the fellow who carries the rifle or stands behind the cannon." of music, and it was word was there. There was dies from theness the Girls day exeunt 29 to 30 hours."
FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF THE
AMERICAN WOODMEN
St. Louis saw one of its gala days among a cultured crowd in the American Woodmen turned out in all their glory for their first Annual Sermon. This was a great day for Woodcraft in this city. The three Camps. 9, 10, and 12 were out in their regalia, each vicing with the other to see who had the largest number of members.
The line of march was as follows: Parade started at the American Woodmen hall, 2000 Lawton Ave., escorted by the Uniform Rank under the direction of Col A. S. Morgan and Brig Gen. Shackelford. The Uniform Rank is made up of four well-equipped companies, two ladies and two men. The ladies led by Captains Dora Bradford and M. E. Malone, while the men marched under the direction of Captains Jordan Chambers, and C. W. Salters. From the hall they went west to Channing Ave, then north to Bell Ave, west again to Savas, north to Fairfax, thence east to Lane Talent掌 Church, where the sermon was held. One of the features of the parade was when they were just in front of the church, the Foresters lined on either side of the street and the Neighbors passed into the church, with uncovered heads, between the lines thus formed. There was a well-filled church anxiously awaiting the arrival of the members. Upon entering, the choir, under the direction of Capt. Austin Bradford, rendered American.
A short, but concise program consisting of the following was given:
1. Introductory remarks by J. W. Bronough, who introduced Neighbor C. W. Salters, the master of ceremonies.
2. Music by the choir of Lane Taber' nacle.
3. Prayer by Lept. A. Jordan.
4. Song by choir.
5. Remarks by Neighbor T. L. Gentry, commander of Camp 10.
6. Scripture reading by Rev. Darden
7. Song by choir.
8. Maj. Gen. J. H. Kent was introducted and made a brief and comprehensive speech which was highly 'appreciated by the entire audience.
9. Song by choir.
10. "What the Camps Have Done for Woodcraft in St. Louis." This was delivered in stirring fashion by Commander of Camp. 9. Edw. R. Anderson, who in his speech brought out some of the good work the American Woodmen are doing. In one year's time they have raised $2,450 for the Supreme Camp. To the Local Camp they have given $925. For Sick Claims and Accidents they have paid $325. For advertising in the Colored papers of St. Louis they have paid $300. They have a membership of 1,000.
11. The sermon was preached by Rev. N. L. Smith, pastor of Lane Tabernacle Church. It was a splendid and encouraging sermon and greatly enjoyed by all who heard it.
Neighbor Bush, the pioneer clerk, sent his regrets for not being able to attend the sermon. Also Neighbor Warfield, the Clerk of Camp 12, was on the sick list.
Although young in this part of the country, we predict for the American Woodmen a great and prosperous future for:
They pay while you live.
They pay when you die.
They are universally popular.
Rates never changing.
Sound as a gold dollar.
Solid as Giltalrta.

I AM WORKING FOR UNCLE SAM
Every business man in this broad land is working for Uncle Sam. There are no longer any personal enterprises. No matter what your activity is, you are devoting your time, energies and a large share of your profits to the winning of the great war. Now a word as to piano. I have been in St. Louis twelve years and in the piano business ten. I have been very successful, having sold 182 instruments in the 21st years I have been with the present company. I must have made satisfied customers. During the first ten days of June I sold $1,800 worth of goods. I learned many years ago that the best way to get satisfaction is to give it. Part of the result of my efforts is beginning to bear fruit. Just tell me what you want. I do not consider a sale ended after you have received and paid for your piano. That is only the first step towards a better acquaintance.
These pianos do and will give satisfaction. They are factory made and have a $4,000,000 guarantee back of them. All are marked and sold at one price. There is no commission house profit. The customers get the benefit, as we pay no commissions. We have uprights from $50 up, and players from $300 up. Call Boment 1782-W.

Very little is being said about the roller desk that was to be given, D. D. G. M. J. L. Henderson.
The St. John's Day service will be observed at the Masoufa Hall, 3619 Easton Ave., Sunday afternoon at 2:30 p.m. Rev. A. H. Hostick, of Ionic A. F. A. M., will preach the sermon.
In spite of the high cost of everything it costs nothing to pay compliments.
The Broad Church, I think, will never be based on anything that requires the use of language. Freemasonry gives an idea of such a church, and a brother is known and cared for in a strange land where no word of his can be understood.
I am afraid the only Broad Church possible is one that has its creed in the heart, and not in the head—that we shall know its members by their fruits, and not by their words—Oliver Wendell Holmes.
Dr. E. L. Grant, of East Gate A. F. & A. M. has recently volunteered his services to the U. S. Army and his is another hope to appear on the Masonic Roll of Honor.

The memorial service in honor of P. E. G. H. P., Milton E. Fields, was held under direction of the R. A. Masons last Sunday. The occasion was decidedly impressive. Enquiries were made by companions J. T. Cannon, P. H. P., George Broomfield, P. G. H. P., E. J. Victoria, Jr. W. H. Peck, G. W. McKinon spoke of the deceased "As a man, Mason and Friend." T. J. McCampbell, M. E. G. H., made the principal talk. Jao. C. Peigh who is district deputy Grand High Priest of the Royal Arab Masons ably performed his part as Master of Ceremonies. The services were held at the Masonic Hall.
The Argus Publishing Company gives special attention to the printing of fraternal and business cards.
Quite a number of serious workers who are styled "educators and acres" in various funerities, failed to show up and swell the number of those who participated in the patriotic procession last Thursday. Patriotism and loyalty are corebinal principles of Freemasonry and Pythianism. Petty and personal differences should not conflict with our duty. To follow and obey authority is as essential as being able to lead safety. Thanksgiving services of the United Loyal Neighbors of the World will be held at Lane Tabernacle C. M. E. Church Sunday.
The Masonic School of Instruction is located at 3119 Lawton Avenue. See E. J. Victorian, Jr.

St. Louis, Mo., May 7, 1915.
I suffered with stomach trouble for
fourteen years. Had tried several reme-
dies 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
intestine after eating, pressure of gas in
the stomach and around the heart.
I advise all to try this wonderful com-
bination of medicines.
Respectfully,
MRS. ALICE DICKISON,
4220 North Market Street.
St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 8, 1913.
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 bottle I felt like a 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.

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 for your hair, we are more edy of proven merit. Beeby'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 Quinode, it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasoap. Quinasoap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and is a thorough cleanser. Quinasoap lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequalled by any other shampoo.
Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Seeby's Quinasoap, asking for them by the full name. Price is 15 cents each. If your druggist or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them for you from his wholesaler or send us the price and we will mail them to you. Write to Seeby Drug Co., 79 East 130th street, New York City, for a sample of Quinade, mentioning the name of this paper.—Adv.
PHOTO-PENNANTS.
Go over the top like the rest of your class with a photo pennant in class colors of Sumner High. Also have a photo of that esteemed at camp in red, white and blue. See samples at the Argus office. You can leave your order there or see Miss Glaydace Hall, 4231 Cottage Ave., or Mr. Wren Dupree at the Commonwealth grocery on Goode and North Market. Anyone who desires may be a spokesman and organize a club of ten and get the beautiful pennant free of charge. Special rates to a club of twelve.

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, chiropodist, 4257w Labadie Ave., phone Colfax 1097 J. Hours 8 to 10 a.m. 2 to 3 p.m. Sunday by appointment.

AN UNUSUAL AND HIGH-CLASS LOT OFFER
Here is your opportunity to invest a small amount of money and secure an excellent building lot in beautiful Orchardville, a townsite adjoining Homestead, Orchard, the large cooperative fruit orchard in Benzine County, Michigan.
Unlike other town lots, instead of waiting for them to increase in value in order to make a profit out of them, lots in Beautiful Orchardville will be made to earn money for you even before they increase in value. 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. Both the circular and the booklet are well worth reading, and by sending for them you will not place yourself under any obligations.
Fill out and mail the attached coupon today. Write plainly.
