NOMINATIONS OF PHILLIPS AND TURPIN SEEM TO BE SAFE PRESIDENT PLEASED WITH COLORED EDITORS CONFERENCE The People'sPaper The Trade Maker VOL. VII. NO. 17 NOMINATION PRESIDI New Selective D SOLID SUPPORT OF COLORED VOTERS LANDS CANDIDATES District Returns Held Up For Official Count. Spencer Wins Over Torrey By 40,000. All indications point to the nominations of Homer G. Phillips, for justice of the Peace, and Charles H. Turpin, for constable, in the Fourth District. For the first time in many years the daily papers failed to tabulate the unofficial police' returns on the nominations of district candidates, and it will be necessary to wait for the official count to learn the results of the contests for State legislature, Justices and constables. Members of the Board of Election Commissioners announced that the official count of ballots would begin Friday and that four or five days would be required to finish the count. Negroes Give Phillips and Turpin Solid Support There can hardly be any doubt of the nomination of Phillips and Turpin, if the votes have been honestly counted. Both men carried every Negro precinct in the 17th and 16th wards from 3 to 1 to 15 up 1. Gross frauds are said to be found in the 6th ward, however, and if is claimed that both candidates have been elected. This may serve to lower the pluralities pled in the other wards. Turpin's lead is conceded to be safe, but Phillips may only win by a narrow margin. To give an idea of how solid was the support given the Colored candidates, the following figures are offered. In 6 of the 14 precincts in the 17th ward the vote stood: McChesney 234, Phillips 223, Schuler 46. In the two precincts of the 16th ward, belonging to this district, McChesney received 79, Phillips 61, and Schuler 41. In three precincts of the seventh ward Turpin received 127, Bush 113, Walker 13, Edwards 32. Walker ran heavy in the 6th ward, but could not overcome Bush's lead. These returns indicate the nomination of McChesney and Phillips for Justices of the Peace; Turpin and Bush for constables. In the 7th precinct of the ward Turpin got 77 votes. Bush 34 and Edwards 6. Walker's vote is not known. Phillips also beat Schuler 16 in the 13th and 9 in the 8th precincts of the 17th. No figures are obtainable on the 5th district where Chas. H. Horton was a candidate for constable. Dr. Wm M. Riley, candidate for representative 5th district, had no contest and was nominated. It is now estimated that Seldon P. Spencer has been nonmanned by more than 40,000 over Colonel Torrey for U. S. Senator. Spencer carried St. Louis by 7,798. PATRIOTIC FISTA As announced by the Ladies' Committee, the Patriotic Fist (pronounced Peastah) will be requested Sunday, August 18, at the Orchain's Home at 4316 Natural Bridge.

DISCLOSES LYNCHING SAVAGERY Investigation by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Into the South Georgia lynchings declares the fact, that 11 instead of five persons were, victims of mob violence between May 17-22. A summary of the report follows: "Instead of six victims of the mobs which ranged over Brooks and Lowry counties from May 17 to May 22, eleven authenticated cases were discovered during an investigation of the circumstances surrounding the killing of Hampton Smith, a white farmer, of Brooks County, Ga., and the wounding of his wife near Barney Ga., on May 16, and of the lynchings which followed. Press dispatches at the time named Will Head, Will Thompson, Haynes Tanner, Mary Turner, his wife, Eugene Rise and Sidney Johnson, the latter of whom had stated before the anguish several persons interviewed, that he had implicated in the affair and that the five who had previously been lynched (the five already named) were not involved in it. Five additional victims were found; Chine Rise, Simon Schuman and three unidentified Negroes whose bodies were taken from the Little River just below Quitman, Ga., about a week after they had been lynched. Negroes of the neighborhood told the investigator that there were victims, but no more than 11 could be authenticated. Hortle Treatment of Woman "Mary Tewlett wife M. Hayne Turner, who had been reported by the press as having been lynched because of 'unwise remarks' concerning the lynching of her husband and who was approaching confinement, was tied, by the ankles and hung head downward. Gasoline was taken from the automobiles of the lynching party, and pinned on her clothing which was then burned from her person. After her clothes had been burned off she was dismibowed and her unborn child fell from her womb and while still alive, was crushed by the heel of a member of the mob. The woman's body was riddled with bullets from high-powered rifles until it was unrecognizable. She was buried ten feet from the tree and Miss Georgia Wheatley Secures Position According to the announcement in the Bulletin of the Tennessee Agricultural and Industrial State Normal of Nashville Tenn. Miss Georgia M. Wheatley of St. Louis has been elected as a teacher in that institution for the enjoining year. Miss Wheatley has for many years spent her vacation with the Argus as bookkeeper and assistant editor. Her services were greatly missed this year by the Argus force. When Miss Wheatley left for her last term in October 1917 it was understood that she wanted to better prepare herself (but we thought for our work) but her alma mater took an advantage of first claim on her students who finish and decided to keep her. The Argus force wishes Miss Wheatley much success in her new position and predicts her rapid, advancement in her chosen profession.

FINE PHILOSOPHY OF DEMOCRACY IS WARMLYPRAISED Frank and Calm Consideration of War James Habillied by Shoulders of Public Settlement Sets Inspiring Example For All, Patriotic Americans. Special to the Argus. Washington, D. C., August 7. President Wilson is greatly pleased with the conference of Colored editors and other leaders of thought and opinion among the Colored citizens of the country, held a short time ago in this city. The report of the conference has been published far and wide and the proceedings have attracted a larger measure of attention than the report, of any similar, gathering of Colored men since emancipation. In a recent letter the chief executive of the nation plainly indicates his deep interest and genuine satisfaction with the meeting and its successful outcome, as well as with the practical results that have accrued, from the frank and unhampered interchange of views as to how the 120,000 Negroes of the country might most effectively aid America to win this righteous war for freedom and world-wide democracy. The President feels that the problems considered by the conference were "grave and weighty," and he is cheered by the thought that the whole state of feeling throughout the country will be helped by the broad spirit of patriotism which dominated the conferences in their calm, dignified and high-purposed deliberations. The warmly commends the colored representatives of the press for their timely emphasis of national unity on the vital issues involved in the war and applauds the inspiring example set by them for all Americans who have at heart the welfare of the nation in its present crisis. The full text of the President's letter to the chairman of the conference follows. President's Letter on Spirit of the Conference The White House, July 31, 1918. Dear Mr. Scott: Your letter of June 26 has been called to my attention, and I am both interested and pleased with the report it gives of the meeting held in Washington by leaders of thought and opinion among the Negro citizens of the country. The problems considered by the conference of special importance to the people whom they represent, are grave and weighty, and the whole state of feeling throughout the country will be helped by the frank and calm consideration given to these matters. In the meantime, it is cheering to see that the fine philosophy of democracy, which is at this time the inspiration of the nation, is sufficient for the nation, was felt and expressed by these conferences as the domestic thought which ought to counter all Americans in the present crisis. Cordially yours, Wendy W. Wilson This ungrudging endorsement of the Colored Editors' conference and sincere tribute to the loyalty of the Colored citizens to the cause held dearest to all Americans will hearten the Negro people allover the land. The President's ringing assurance in de-association of mob violence, the acceptance of Colored nurses for war service, and a score of advantageous plans for the induction of the Negro soldiers in technical schools and training by this exceedingly cordial letter of the President, give ground for belief that the Negro American is, during these days of national emergency and need, coming to be recognized more and more, by the general government as a factor of importance in the winning of the war. URBAN LEAGUE REGISTRATION FOR WOMEN AND GIRLS The Women's Industrial Committee of the Urban League, created for the purpose of meeting the special needs of the Government during the period of the war, is lying up every available woman and girl who is able to add a small bit to the industrial efficiency of the country.

An Exponent Or Truth and Justice PRICE 5 CENTS BE SAFE NFERENCE ving Dependents PRESIDENT WILSON APPROVES NEW AGE LIMITS. 18 TO 45 Congress Asked to Pass Bill In Time To Make September, 5 The Day For Registration. The new administration man-powered bill extending the selective service act to all men between the ages of 18 and 45, inclusive, and authorizing the President to call such persons into military service "in sequence of ages and at such times" as he may prescribe, was introduced Monday in both houses of Congress. The government's plan is to place an army of at least 5,000,000 in France. The war department does not wish to draw anymen from the deferred classes in the present registration and there will be only 100,000 left in Class 1, after September 1. Between the ages of 32 and 42 Guewai estimated there are 100,005 males, but taking into consideration those men or who would be subject to the classification because of physical conditions or other reasons he estimates the "not effective" at 601,236. Between 18 and 20 he estimates the number 3,712,671, of which the "not effective" would total 1,767,600. Married Men Not Wanted It is not intended to disrupt domestic conditions of the country by drafting married men with dependents, into the army. Only single men are required. The new bill also provides a wider scope for industrial exemptions. It is believed that all the man power required can be secured from Class 1, after the new registration. Draft registrants in Class 1 include the following: Single men without dependents; married men, with or without children, or fathers who habitually fail to support dependents; married men with or without children, or father of motherless children; not usefully engaged and whose family is supported by income independent of their labor; unskilled and not necessary farm laborers; unskilled or not necessary industrial laborers; registrants who have deferred classification; registrants who fail to send in questionaires and all registrants not included in any other division. The new belf has been approved by President Wilson and Secretary Baker and it is hoped to have passed in time for among September 5 as registration day. It will be 90 days later before the first draft contingent is called. Supreme Clerk Of Woodmen Coming Honorable L. H. Lightner, Supreme Clerk of American Woodmen, of Deer Valley, Cole will spend a few days in this city. Mr. L. H. Lightner is a graduate of Samuel Houston College, has served in the same institution for four years as private secretary to the R. S. Lovinggood, and so teacher in the English Department. He gave up good position over a great protest by his colleagues and school friends to request the location of Supreme Clerk of American Woodmen. So great has been his work, so far teaching his influence, and the conduct of his tenure in office has brought such good and everlasting strength in the Great Order of American Woodmen. For the three successive terms of four years that he has held the clerkship, Mr. L. H. Lightner has the honor of being the only Negro that is a member of the National Fraternal Congress. He stands out the leader in his craft, and by his untiring energy and efforts has helped to put the American Woodmen in the front ranks of fraternal insurance irrespective of Race. He, together with Honorable C. M. White, are the police leaders of big business among the Nerries. He will be waked to meet any neighbor-citizen while he. He will stop with the ex-Commander T. L. Gentry of Camp No. 10, at his beautiful west end bed on Pine Street. He was much impressed with St. Louis on his vacation last summer, and we hope that we may so impress him, he will soon give his vote for the locating of the Headquarters of the American Woodmen in St. Louis, and we are assured that Business Men's Club, the Chamber of Commerce, the City of St. Louis, and other interests should heartily endorse such a proposition.

I stayed by his side about an hour and a halt and all cramps had disappeared. Wednesday morning he returned to his work. He was well he thought he must have a philosopher.

FINE, FIRM AND FERTILE A fine, firm, fertile early prepared seeded, insures the largest crop of best quality when. When wheat follows gats, barley or other early harvested crop, plow the land from 4 to 8 inches deep as soon as the preceding crop is removed and work down each half day - plowing before leaving the field. Harrow or disk the field after every rain or as often as crust forms, until seeding time to kill weeds and to retain the soil moisture. Ideal seeded preparation consists in disking, plowing, again disking and harrowing. Up-to-date farmers are following this system especially when there is considerable organic matter to be plowed under. Always cut up coarse material before turning it in the furrow, otherwise it integrates the movement of moisture upward, making an air space which allows drying out. By plowing early and maintaining a soil mulch moisture is retained which favors quick germination. From one to several weeks will be gained in the sprouting and growth by a thorough soil preparation. The Kansas experiment station found a gain of as much as 21 bushel of wheat when grown on land plowed 7 inches deep July 15 and then kept well worked until seeding time, over land that was plowed the same depth September 15. COMPLETE FERTILIZER WINS ACRE PROFIT TEST The Michigan Experiment Station Reports That All Fertilizers Paid a Profit When Used on Wheat. According to the 1917 report of the Michigan state board of agriculture, complete fertilizer used on wheat in a corn, wheat, clover rotation increased the crop 13 bushels per acre. The experiment station officials calculate that at old prices for both fertilizer and crops the profit for the use of fertilizer was $13.51 per acre. When phosphoric acid and potash were used the gain over and above the cost of fertilizer was $12.79—this in spite of the fact that a heavy clover sod was turned under once in three years. Acid phosphate alone produced a net gain of $8.61. The conclusions are as follows: "It should be noted that all fertilizers have been used with good profits. The conclusion would seem to be warranted that on farms of similar soil types the use of fertilizer should prove, profitable, provided, of course, there are no other factors, such as lack of drainage and improper culture, that seriously limit production, and that the use of a complete fertilizer should pay best in case a limited amount of manure is available, while on well-stocked farms phosphorus and potash could probably be used more profitably." WHEAT A HARD DRINKER Every pound of wheat requires an average of 450 to 500 pounds of water to carry it from planting to maturity. Early plowing and frequent working of the seedbed helps to retain soil moisture. A light harrowing or dinking early in the spring cultivates the wheat and forms a soil mulch that prevents the escape of winter rains so needed by the wheat when filling and ripening. Experiment stations have found that wheat, well supplied with available plant, food or growing on rich soils, can produce a bigger crop with less moisture than it can on a poor soil or on one not well supplied with available plant food. Wheat on rich soils continues to grow even if the supply of moisture is scant. Supplying available plant food to wheat enables it to produce larger yields on the same amount of water. This is especially important when the rainfall is below normal. Organic matter holds water like a sponge and releases it to the wheat for germination. Better Crops and Larger Yields Better methods, better equipment and more attention to increasing the fertility of the soil will result in better crops and improved yields. Fertilizers have a definite place in farming and a definite work in maintaining and improving crop production.

They have been told that the dable in the great crisis, and they bidier wants is a man's chance and he he is made of the "right stuff." Over fifteen hundred draftees departed from St. Louis during the three days' movement this week. It was a most interesting sight to behold. Those Colored boys entered the service for their country joyfully. Each man seemed to have realized that the responsibility for the success of the allied forces depended upon his individual fighting power. That was a fine spirit; that was the right spirit. That kind of spirit should permeate the very soul of every American soldier. As they go, their souls are afire with the patriotic and heroic deeds done by the men of their race in all the previous wars of this nation. The glowing record of Crispus Attucks who was first to spill his blood in defense of the nation, at Boston, is afresh in their minds. The account of black men, who saved the day in the late Civil War; that of the Colored men at San Juan Hill, at Carrizal and the more recent achievements of our boys at the front in France, have inspired these boys, and they are saying, "what men have done, men may do." They are proud of the record made by their brothers in black and they believe as others were heard to express: "Uncle Sam cannot win this war without us black boys." They seem to think that everybody is depending upon the "black boys" and they are determined not to betray that confidence. They have been told that the Negro soldier is most dependable in the great crisis, and they believe it. All the Negro soldier wants is a man's chance and he will show to the world that he is made of the "right stuff." Seen By An Argus Eye One of the unpleasant incidents of the parades for darted men, during the past few days, was the unpopulous actions of a few ignorantesses who ran ahead of every parade pelling at the spectators to take their bats off, still ready for a samp if their command was not heeded. These holdings do not wait for the flag to apeal and to throw it alarms. An unpleasant event. They do not seem to know that the bit should be removed on the flag's passing. In their ignorant experiment they were an insult to paratroopers. They should be stopped by the police. It is the duty of men to remove their bats, with their right hand, placing some over the left breast when the flag is passing or the "Star Spangled Banner" is being played. If sitting, all should rise. All citizens should observe this rule and no one should have to be insulted by rowds because of it.

Scott, Secretary of Tankeegee Normal and Industrial Institute, was called to Washington last October, to serve as special secretary to the Secretary of War, he immediately requested the Department of Commerce to release William H. Davis, who for many years had been performing stenographic and other technical work in that department of the government, and who for many years has been official stenographer of the National Negro Business League, Mr. Davis was recordingly released and has been serving as secretary and first assistant to Mr. Scott since the beginning of his service in Washington. The office he served in was enlarged by the addition of Charles W. Wilson, Historian Mass., a stenographic helper and within the last two weeks by the further addition of Charles L. Webb, of Chicago, Ill., a stenographic helper formerly status clerk in the United States General Land Office, Jr. Department, and R. W. Thompson, the well-known correspondent, who has been transferred from the Treasury Department to serve as an assistant in handling the many intricate problems which came to the office of the special assistant, whose bureau looks after matters affecting the interests of Colored soldiers and Colored officers generally during the peacetime period, the government in conjunction with the Committee Public Information and other agencies of the government in the important work of stimulating the continued loyalty of Colored Americans. The duties involving upon Mr. Stoff have grown steadily in volume and gravity and it has been necessary steadily increase his office force to keep pace with the overwhelming mass of correspondence that flows daily into the office and to properly care for the welfare of the hundreds of cases that constantly press for attention and touch every possible phase of the activities of the Colored people of the nation.

No. 89 an ideal hostess. Every now and then during these strenuous days we find someone doing one of those "can't-be-done" with parent case. Probably the fellow didn't know it "couldn't be done," so he went ahead and did it. One of the latest of the pet theories to go by the board is the one that the use of any form of commercial fertilizer ultimately runs down the soil and causes it to become very unproductive. Why this theory ever existed is hard to tell. Perhaps someone missed fertilizer and killed the crop. Such a thing is possible. Perhaps too little or too much was used; or perhaps it was simply because the wish was father to the thought. Anyhow it did exist and men allowed crop production to go steadily downhill because they were afraid to use fertilizer to bring it up. The Pennsylvania experiment station has done some very notable work along this line as reported in Bulletin 147. The investigators took a poor, depleted soil—a typical run-down farm—and in a few years brought it back to a productive and profitable condition. How? Simply by using fertilizer. In other words, they proved that not fertilizers but the lack of them ran down farm soils. The story is interesting. Complete fertilizers were used up to 1914. Since then potash has been omitted and fertilizer containing nitrogen and available phosphate acid has been used. The soil was not farmed under market garden conditions. Fertilizer was used in but small amounts, an average of slightly over 200 pounds per acre per year. The fourth year of the test a wheat crop averaging 34 bushels per acre was taken from the land—this, by the way, on a soil that had received no barnyard manure for many years. A few years ago the neighbors of the man who used fertilizer would shake their heads wisely and say: "Oh, yes, he gets big yields now, but in a few years his soil will be so poor he won't get anything." Now they say: "Jones certainly is lucky. He got a big crop just when the price was right. Of course I could have done the same thing as he did if I had used as much fertilizer." 1. Apply all the fertiliser through the fertiliser attachment of the grain drill at seeding time. 2. If you have no drill with fertiliser attachment apply all through broadcast lime and fertiliser distributor. Be sure to work the fertiliser into the soil thoroughly before sowing wheat. FINDS FERTILIZER PAYS increases Yield by Wheat and Oats. According to the Indiana Farmers' Guide, James Stedman of Deer Creek, who is one of the most successful farmers in Miami county, Indiana, consistently uses fertilizer to supplement the manure on his fields, and is well satisfied that the returns justify the money invested in fertilizer. He says: "I have not sow any wheat without fertilizer since 1935, and I have averaged better than 30 bushels to the acre during that time. My best yield was in 1915, when I averaged 42.5 bushels." A comparison of Mr. Stedman's yield with the average yield of Miami county shows how good his crops are. The average for Miami county is about 20 bushels, and for the same year the average for the entire state of Indiana was only 17 bushels. Mr. Stedman also says that the use of fertilizer enables him to harvest his crop much sooner than otherwise. He reports an accidental experiment with oats in 1917, where the supply of fertilizer ran out before he finished sowing the oats. The part of the field which was fertilized was ready to harvest much sooner than the unfertilized. In addition Mr. Stedman says: "I am sure I could have gotten" 17 bushels more per acre on the part of the field that was not fertilized had I used fertilizer there, although the unfertilized section was really the best part of the field in the beginning."

CALL GATES & MANUEL ...Undertakers... When Good Service Is Desired Delmar 922 Lindell 6600 4107 FINNEY AVE. Farmers' Bulletin No. 919 of the United States department of agriculture brings to our attention the fact that it is better business for the farmer to lift and grade his wheat than to market it with the dockage still in the grain. It defines dockage as "and, dirt, weed seeds, wheat stems, chaff, straw, grain other than wheat, and any other foreign material which can be docked from the market." The aim of docking is to elevate, cleaning devices or other practical means suited to separate the foreign/material present; also undeveloped, arrived and small pieces of wheat kernels necessarily removed in properly separating the foreign material." Grading encourages the farmer to take such care in growing the crop as to produce only the best quality of grain. Wheat grown on soil where the available plantfood is reduced to a minimum will no longer be able to compete in price with the big, plump kernels which a well-fed and well-cared-for plant produces. Years ago the farmers of Illinois, Iowa and Minnesota burned their manure piles! They had to—the piles were in the way. They obstructed the streets of the newly grown towns and settlements. With a soil in the first flush of fertility and with wheat at low price, the cost of hauling and spreading a load of manure was not brought back in the increase of crop.

It pays to save manure and so even in the far West farmers are this year for the first time building cement feeding floors and cement pits and in other ways adopting measures which lead to high farming. High crop prices have made this possible. ST. LOUIS PHONES Respect 2169 Central 3788-L NIGHT CALLS Promptly Answered E. ST. LOUIS PHONES Office Bell K. 2057 St. Chal. 1600-R Res. St. Chal. 1720 R. M.

WILLIAMS & SON UNDERTAKERS Ambulance and Auto Service, Day or Night Notary 3232 PINE ST., ST. LOUIS, MO. Public Erikwood Office, 135 W. Main. Phone 1-800-222-2222 Rich Lucas of Howell county, Missouri, says that wheat was never a very profitable crop for him until he began to use fertilizer. When he was attending the University of Missouri he learned that nitrogen and phosphoric acid were addom present in sufficient quantities to grow a big crop. From this he began experiments which have proven to him that he must use fertilizers if he expects a profit from wheat. Mr. Lucas tells of an experiment which he tried last year on wheat. The wheat was needed following corn, and was fertilized at the rate of 150 pounds to the acre. On the last eight or ten rounds he fertilizer was used. This served as a check. In the spring the fertilized part received an additional application of nitrate of potash at the rate of 50 pounds to the acre. Tired of Saving Wheat? You don't know what it is to be Tired! Mr. Lucas tells his own story of the result as follows: "The fertilised wheat, grew nicely and matured me a yield of 20.1 bushels per acre in spite of the hard winter, the drought and the Housian dry. The unfertilized grain yielded only 10.9 bushels per acre. Not only was the yield less by almost half, but the size and quality of the berry was very poor in comparison." U. S. Food Administration.

'ANNOUNCEMENT Mrs. Pearl Ruby Perdeau announces the engagement of her sister, Miss Bertha Ruth Freierson, to Rothchild C. Nail. The date for the wedding has been set for Saturday evening, Aug. 31, 1918. THURSDAY VIRATLESS SATURDAY VIRATLESS Thirty-five years ago, Roma J. Haymond came to St. Louis from New Orleans. At the same time the writer came to St. Louis from Washington. They met around about the (then popular and pleasant 11th and Morgan Sts., and each found association with the other more than ordinarily agreeable; they became comrades specially. Both young and with high ideals, they saw before them an endless field in which they could accomplish much for the advancement and protection of their harried race. Through the years that have passed, Room Haymond, now dead, never, for a second, altered in living up to his generous resolves. In his profession he sought poverty, attacked Negroes who needed a lawyer and treated them fatally without thought of any serious infringement upon his profitable practice. Indeed, he seemed to work harder for a pauper client than for one who paid a fee. Frequent detections that he was imposed upon proved impotent to affect his philanthropy. He was unaskably determined that, if he made mistakes, everyone of them should be on mercy's side. He was a hustling, tireless man, ever on the go to get money that he always wanted so badly, first to supply his modest needs and then to give to every man, woman and child whose dire needs he had seen or imagined. He was never ruffled or angry and forgave unkindness as readily and uniformly as the average man resents them. In manners and in the fiber of his soul, he was a thorough gentleman. He died just as he deserved to die, without a pang—just a step from one world into the other; good by earth, hello Heaven. Ah, the justice of such a death for such a man. Surviving him, I cast this spring up on his coffin and say, "That's rose mary; that's for remembrance." Clinie E. Smith Dies Cline Ellwood Smith, died Friday, August 2, at his late residence, 8 N. 21st St. He was one of the Boosters' Club committee which went to Camp Funston just before Christmas to carry the tobacco gifts to the drafted St. Louis boys. While there he caught a cold and never recovered. He had been active in politics here for several years and was at the time of his death deputy city marshal. The funeral will be held Sunday at 2 p.m. at the First Baptist Church, under the auspices of the Uniform Rank K. of P., of which he was a member. He professed religion last winter and his pastor, Rev. Maxwell will preach the funeral service.

Dear Bretheu: Just a line or two to say that I am well and able to do the things I think I can craft daily and more experience than you can do each month when you all assemble. Though thousands of miles away from me, am with you in spirit. May God grant that we many more meetings I shall return to you. I desire a special interest in the prayers of each of you. I would like to tell you in detail of my travels and real experiences over here in the trenches, but you know that the Censor determine, and regulate all that I might say; so I cannot say too much. When I return will be time enough for me to tell you. I do hope that this war will soon end, so I can return home and you all enjoy the many good things you have there. You cannot begin to imagine how much real joy a letter from home brings. I shall expect a dozen, at least, from you all. The regiment I am in is composed of Race men, and we are making good. Hoping some day to get back home and tell how we did it. To be a member of the Masonic Fraternity means much. All I am hope and to be is due to the great morals, as inscribed in me by Ionie Lodge No. 10. I shall so conduce myself that you will be proud of me when I return. Don't fail to pray for Ionic Lodge of Masons has furnished the United States Army with fifteen square men. An empty pot is soon hot. An empty lot is soon not.

GREENBORO, N. C. Box 812 NO MORE NO LESS An Early German Invasion The Hawaiian Fly THE FIRST GERMAN INVASION Way back in Revolutionary days came the first German invasion of America. The Hessians were purely mercenary soldiers, and had no love for the cause for which they were fighting. Their career as fighting men ended suddenly on a certain Christmas eve when Washington crowned the Delaware. As soldiers they were not a very great success, but the damage which they did to America did not end with their capture at Treason. Unknowingly they introduced into this country the Hessian fly, which was destined to become our greatest wheat pest. According to tradition, this fly, or rather the larvae of the fly, was brought to this country in the straw which the Hessian soldiers used for bedding for both man and animal. It found congenial conditions in America, multiplied enormously, and now infests practically all wheat producing regions. The annual loss due to its ravages must be far up in the millions, and there is no present prospect of eradication. The Fly Lives Over Winter in the New Seedling of Wheat. The fly itself is very small—scarcely a quarter of an inch in length, and as for looks—well, it looks like a fly. Eggs for the spring brood are laid early in the season. The small grub goes down to the base of the plant and lives on the plant tissues, and later on goes into a cocoon or chrysalis form. Emerging from this it lays eggs again on the fall-worn, wheat, just as soon as the wheat gets above the surface of the ground. It is this second brood that is no destructive, and which forms the "ravened" form seen on infested wheat. The time of emergence of this second breed of egg-laying flesh is fixed by nature. If the farmer can only fertilize this, and delay seeding—the fly will go off looking for other pastures, and may even die without having found opportunity for laying its eggs. But the Weather is Against Lute Seeding. Right here is where late seeding to control the fly is against the best farm practice. Winter may not be in early and destroy the young plants. Unless the wheat has made a good growth before the ground froze up, its chance of surviving the winter is small. We must delay seeding or the fly gets the wheat. We must have good growth or winter gets it. What is to be done? Experience and actual experiment has shown that by using fertilizer wisely and carefully not only can late-sown wheat be made to catch up to early town and thus the Hesston fly be unattracted and the weather man fueled all at one operation; but at the same time the crop can be greatly increased. This adds to farm profits—so that it may be that the Hesston fly is a blessing in disguise at least to those farmers who through its ravages are enabled to teach themselves "the better way." SOON EARLY Early Seeding, Unfertilized. Late Seeding, Fortified. The plant at the left was seeded there weeks earlier than that at the right, but fertilizer enabled the latter to catch up. Early Seeding, Fortified. Late Seeding, Unfortified. In sections where the Human fly is not to be feared, early feeding with fertilizer in the best combination. The plant at the left was needed three weeks earlier than the one at the right, but the time of feeding was exactly the same as that of the plant on the left above. Fertilizer made the difference. (Drawings from photograph. Plants grown in the open, transplanted to pots for photographing. Taken from Becton 117, Delaware agricultural exp permanent station). SAVE FARM LABOR The liberal use of commercial fertilizer is to be especially recommended under existing conditions. Considering the amount of labor involved, the farmer can do more to increase crop production at this time by the judicious use of fertilizer than by any other means that can be quickly employed. Through the use of modern planting machinery most fertilizer materials can be applied with very little extra labor and large increases in yield may be secured in this way—Circus No. 74, Purdue University Er. MISSOURI WHEAT PROFITABLE On average Missouri land the fertilization of wheat is practically always recommensative. While there are amounts in which results of an increase of two or three bushels only are secured, in average increases of from four to six bushels can be counted upon. At the St. James experiment field a six-year average has shown an increase in the wheat crop of 123 bushels. It is able to say, therefore, that one can expect a minimum of almost four bushels and a maximum of not less than ten bushels of any conservative estimate.

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 have hair tonics in deciding what to use on your scalp. Be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Seeby's Quinabra 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. Quinabra 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 Quinaseb, it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seeby's Quinaseb. Quinaseb is made entirely out of pure oil, principally coconut oil, and is a thinner cleaner. Quinaseb 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 Quinaseb and Seeby's Quinaseb, anking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your druggist or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them for you from his wholesaler or send us the price and we will mail them to you.

H. THEATRES Hambone Jones' Country Girls, in their second week at the Rooker Washington Theater, are offering another good comedy show. The program is made up with two humorous skits not titled, "Uprise Promise From, Georgia," and "Postmystery Buffalo." Both numbers succeed in merriment, giving Mr. Jones a good chance to display has original style of comedy. The principal feature this week is the singing. Several life compositions are introducing. These include "He's in Control, I've No Man's Land," "Your Country Needs You Now," "I May Be Going For a Long Time," and "Let's All Be Americans Now." These timely pathetic pieces are full of melody. During the entertainment Hester Moore sings and dances a couple of numbers. There is plenty of comedy in the two playlets and the final number, "You're Some Pretty Tail," is a novelty song and dance by the company and takes well. The chorus work is good. The company closes the engagement. Sun Four excellent candles the acts are booked for next week at the Booker Washington, Watts, and Ringgold, featuring the eccentric comedian; Williams and Taylor, a male duo; Arthur Simmons, a novelty performer; and Graham and Zeek, singers and dancers, will make up the bill. "The Brass Bullet," which started this week will be featured every Thursday. For other special picture features, see advertisements at top of this page. "The Unbeliever," a stupendous dramatic pretension based on the war novellette "The Three Things," up seven parts is being shown at the Star Theater this Friday and Saturday. It is the story of a human soul, one of the most intonacious films ever shown. It palpitates with vigorous acting tender emotion and clear wholesome sentiment. Music Is Helping To Win The War Every home should be filled with music these war times. Sipping or music arouses the emotions and keeps the spirit of Patriotism up to the top notch. That is why it is desirable in the U.R. Army: It takes out the mental hinks, just as the exercise on the drill ground gives the body the greatest freedom and control of its every action. One reason that the morale of the bearers is high in because they love and enjoy music.
