St. Louis Argus

Tries To Force Them To March With Civilians In Liberty Day Parade. Men Refuse To Accept Position And Send Grerets To General Wood. (Special to the Argus.) St. Joseph, Mo., Sept. 15—The colored former, service men and the colored branch of the Red Cross did not march in the military parade last Saturday and were not at Barlett Park to receive their medals. Their decision was a result of the refusal of Col. Clay C. Macdonald, marshal of the parade, to permit them to march after the white former service men instead of after the Red Cross, the vetors of former wars and the R. O. T. C. "Dear Sir: We, the underagained members of the medal committee, appointed by the mayor of the city, sincerely regret the fact you will see no Negro soldiers in the procession today. The reason being that the committee having in charge the assignment of places in the parade has insulted those invincible fighters of Argonne by refusing them a place with other military units which were in the world's great war; units with which they fought and died, and through which they as well as others made the Victory Day's celebration possible." Just as these Negro heroes faced the German hordes in France to make the world safe for democracy, they now stand for decency in democracy in America. We are, very obediently yours." "The committee having charge the Victory Parade made an unfortunate mistake in its decision to subordinate the Negro soldiers to civilian organizations in assigning places in the parade. The Negro soldiers are just as much a portion of the United States army as are the white soldiers. The St. Joseph colored troops did not ask to march in the lead, but were quite content to be placed immediately following the white troops, the place that should have been accorded them without question. If they were good enough to go to France to defend this government on the battlefield they are good enough to be recognized as soldiers of Uncle Sam here at home."

ONLY AFTER HE GETS WEST HELENA. Mont. Sept. 18. President Wilson has at last broken his long alliance and made an expression of the recent race riots. It happened at Helena Montana, during his "swing around the circle," in behalf of the League of Nations. He said, "I hope you won't think it inappropriate if I top hop and express my shame as an American citizen, the race riots that have occurred at some places in this country, where men have forgotten humanity and justice, and orderly society, and have run smiff. That constitutes a man not only the enemy of society but his own enemy and the enemy of justice." "My only regret, said one prominent citizen, is 'that the President waited so long, and waited until he got far from Washington, and then spoke as if he were making an apology." NEGROES NOT IN THE BOSTON RIOTS BOSTON, Mass., Sept. 18. There is prime irray in the recent rults that have evaded in this cultured community for months of days. It was not a rare plague of its destructive elements have all the baneful effects of such an easy weapon to alarmingly demonstrate that. It is high time for the American people to throw off their indifference and use every means to bring about universal peace and tranquility. There are numerous difficult lessons in this Boston affair that they cannot willfully be overlooked. In the first place, the very new whose sworn duty is to uphold the law, have defied it and left the people at the mercy of the mob. Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of damage has been done. Hundreds of soldiers and marines and private citizens in all walks of life have been called upon to restore law and order. There have been parts of deaths and hundreds of people injured. — the reckless was the bosom element that it was unsafe for women to be upon the streets after dark, in no instance has the Colored citizens had a part in the destructive side of this unfortunate situation.

The St. Louis Argus Entertains Small Audience At Coliseum With Weird Expressions of Illogic and Contradiction of Statements. About three hundred, mostly women, gathered at the Coliseum last Monday night to hear the address of Rev. M. M. Madden of Oklahoma, which had been advertised that he would tell the people of St. Louis all about his scheme to colonize the Negroes of America. At 8:25 Bishop Campbell introduced the speaker as the "greatest orator of our Race—our leader." With the characteristics of a self-styled leader, the speaker, without any formalities, launched into his address. He devoted most of the hour in which he entertained the audience, in trying to convince his hearers that the Negro was an inferior creation in God's universe, and that he had no rights which the white man was bound to respect; that he is only here by toleration and was not a citizen and should be kicked out when he attempts to ride in first-class cars. The speaker said in part: "No question before the American public need a more serious consideration than the racial question. The shackles have fallen off the Negroes, but citizenship failed to emerge. Freedom was donated to him without a title. "You cannot find in any literature, written by a white mail, where the Negro is referred to as a citizen. The only place where you will find him styled a citizen is in the Negro newspaper." He stated, he knew this to be true because the governor of Kentucky had said so. His talk was full of inconsistencies, illogic, contradiction and unreason. He charged everybody who has gone before him as being ignorant. He said the Government of the United States had no right to draft the Colored men, as they were not citizens, and he would demand pay from this government for the lives of all the Negroes who were lost in the recent war. (He made no reference no previous wars.) Here he said, that all the delegations that have been sent to Washington in the interest of the Negro Race were tools, and did not have sense enough to know to whom their case should be presented. In most cases, however, they were given to a janitor. "When I get to Washington as a representative of 11,000,000 Negroes I shall have my office there, and when you have a grievance, you will not have to give it to a janitor; you will bring your troubles to me." Here he rehearsed the speech he intends, making in Washington before the President of the United States. He said that, he was going to secure 500 square miles of territory from Mexico and 500 square miles of territory from the United States, which would be enough to last all the Negroes 2000 years. Would give all who go $40. 50 acres of land and $20 a month as long as they live. DEPARTMENT STORE ASSURED Officers of Company Report Large Subscription of Stock.

Some White Man Pays Always, The Penalty For Such Crimes. CHICAGO, IL, Sept. 18—The following editorial expression from the Columbia State, one of the most influential dailies of the South, is being generally discussed by people of all classes and is regarded as one of the frankest expressions of the results of lawlessness ever printed. It says: Attacks on Negroes merely because they are Negroes, are reported from Georgia, excite the indignation of all self-respecting white men of the South. When a crime is committed by a Negro, and white ruffians set out to chase and kill other Negroes, against whose white man's shadow of evidence, these white men place themselves on the level of the "Tribal" Armenians—they are a disgrace to the citizenship of any land, civilized or semi-civilized. Occasionally a man has killed an innocent Negro and fancied that "he got by with it"—but it is not true. Manslaying it not necessarily murder the laws whelly draw the distinctions, but no mortal man has ever gained by murder whether his victim was the lowly or the mighty, and no murder goes unpunished that the country of the murderer does not suffer the penalty many times over. Thousands of graves of white men slain by white men are in the cemeteries of the South because of the toleration and tact encouragement of murder of Negroes; for when the white jury neglects to punish the murderer of a Negro, it fosters murder as a habit. Probably never was an innocent Negro slaughtered in the South, that some white man, not in any way conceived with the quarrel, did not bite the dust as a result of it for the simple reason that crime is a disease that draws no color line and white men infected with it by the killing of Negroes infect their brethren. If it is the law of nature that the killing of Negroes does not go营anged and their is many a family of white orphan's in the South the owe their sorrowful condition to the folly that permits the practice of lawlessness against men with black skins. 37 CASES OF INFLUENZA REPORTED IN CHICAGO Chicago, Ill., September 16. Thirty-seven cases of Spanish influenza today had been reported to the Health Department in three days. It was during the corresponding week of last year that the epidemic first crept into Chicago. Dr. John Dill Robertson, health commissioner, says that he is not alarmed, however, and that the disease this year will not be as bad, as the first siege. The first case of Spanish influenza since the epidemic of last year was received at the City Hospital, St. Louis, Wednesday, when Thomas Cummings applied for treatment for what he believed was a cold. Dr. Carl Altmann diagnosed the case as influenza. FIRST COLORED MAN ON TRIAL.

LOUIS UNDERTAKER SUPPLY ENTERPRISE ONLY COLORED ONE IN COUNTRY: (From the Indianapolis Freeman.) The National Negro Business League convention held in St. Louis recently was a means of revealing in that city the fact very little known if at all, outside the immediate limits of the Mound City, that the Elroy Manufacturing Company (incorporated locally and foreign) makers of coffins, boxes and caskets, and in fact everything which is infinitely necessary to the undertaker, is a very successful and going concern owned and operated exclusively by colored people. The offices and headquarters by the company, of which J. W. burroughs is president and business manager, are located at 400 B. Jefferson house, and as seen by representatives of the Freeman, this young business venture not yet a year in existence, is already receiving very compurring patronage from its home city business men. A condition that is being properly taken care of by a personnel of workmen sufficiently experienced in the business, and anxious to see the project succeed. Work Done on Efficient Baskets. To what extent the Elroy Manufacturing Company is prepared to do business on an efficient basis, will be readily realized when it is pointed out that in connection with the factory (the only colored one of its kind in the United States) there are several departments suitable and particularly fitted up with all the necessary requirements so indispensable to the success of a business undertaking of this sort. And as a result the management states the ever increasing orders from points throughout St. Louis are being dispatched with clock-like precision. J. W. Chambers is vice-president and treasurer, while Oliver Rowlett is secretary of the company, which was organized in March of this year for many important reasons said President Bromaugh, when interviewed by a Freeman representative. "And one of these reasons," said the concern's head, "was to do our bit to supply our people with suitable employment. General Salesman Real Live Wire. The kindness of Juno, W. Hayes, the veritable live wire general salesman of the Eiroy Manufacturing Company, was responsible for a review of the plant by hundreds of agreeably surprised business leagues delegates from many different points of the country during their stay in St. Louis, accompanied by the courtesy of President Bromaugh and other officials of the company in escorting them throughout every one of the departments of the factory, explaining in professional form the purposes of this and that department. Offices and Other: Departments Essence of Properly and well-organized Apart from a private office and a clean cut general office looking the part with their sturdy modern fixtures there are about ten other departments in connection with the factory through which the boxed coffins and caskets have to pass in the regular process of their making such as the main machine room storage room for lumber, and other materials. Then there is another machine room in which the coffins and other products of the factory go through the necessary process of being polished. The drawing and designing department of the factory is fully equipped with an excellent supply of men and materials which speaks well for the company's preparedness to do business in a businesslike manner. There is also the assembly room, not well as that in which all the necessary sewing and other miscellaneous work is done. Along with this is the all important stock room. And it can be said of this latter department that it is in keeping with the truly business sense of the managers of the company as it is kept always in readiness for action. In the point and finishing room there were several coffins and caskets going through those processes in their last stages prior to their completion. This was also the case in the room used for the purposes of arranging and drying, before the soffit and caskets are fixed, removed there from to the show room, which is without question one of the many departments of which the Eirray Company has a reason to be proud for its attractive thing. Then to cap the whole thing is the Eirray Manufacturing Company's shipping room, which is on the par of any indo-date department of its Kind for efficiency. Company's Managers Wide Awake Business Men That the managers of the EIroy Manufacturing Co. are colored men with the kind of grit-and business tenacity which it takes to push to success the enterprise of which they are the head was proven beyond doubt by their sensible and far reaching ideas expressed in connection with the manner in which the business is being conducted to representatives of this paper during their recent visit to St Louis. It was very noticeable that they were all wide awake business men. Shipping Facilities - Complete. But this is not all. For the EIroy Manufacturing Company desires it definitely known to every colored undertaker throughout the country that they are prepared because it is one of its specialties to ship goods to any point in the United States with the distress and promptness required of a business place with the experience behind it. All that is necessary then to prove this is to give them a trial. And it may be mentioned here that business men of St Louis are loud in their praise of the EIroy Manufacturing Company for what seems to be an excellent stride already being made by the company. MANY MINERS IN UNION Fitzburg, Pa. Sept. 18. Among the best working members of the district organization of the United Mine Workers are those of the Negroes.

M., followed by a grand entertainment at Pythian Temple 3137 Pleet st. Monday night Sept. 29, for the benefit of the band. Admission to Entertainment 25 cents. Religious services will be conducted by Rev. Maxwell, Pastor of the 1st, Baptist Church. Polar Wave Lodge no. 112 and Washington Lodge no. 6 of the Order of Elks will attend in a body, as special escort for the band, and all branches of the Order of Old Fellows, including the Patriarchs, Lodges and Households of Ruth, together with the general public are most cordially invited to attend and participate in the exercises. Much credit is due Major P. L. McKleoy Master of the Band, for his unstinted use of his time, influence and money, in fitting out and equipping the members of the Band with uniforms and musical instruments, which burdens he was compelled to bear alone, almost from the beginning of the organization. The Band, which is now composed of boys and young men, was originally organized by Major P. L. McEllroy, in the year 1911 with boys ranging in age from nine to fifteen years; and from so small a beginning it has successfully undergone a metamorphosis and opposition under his father's guidance until at this time, the Band is able to successfully compete with any Band in the City. — ADV.

POPE SCHOOL FOR COLORED New Plans of the Board of Education to be Carried Out Soon As Other Building Can Be Remodeled at Lacede and Cardinal for Whites. Only Colored Enrollment Has Increased. Lincoln School Having Half Day Sessions Because of Crowded Conditions. Promise of Two New Buildings From 1916 Bond Issue Not Yet Fulfilled. The Board of Education, in a special meeting Thursday, September 11, approved the plan to turn over the Pope school, at Lacede and Ewing, to Colored. The building consists of thirteen grammar grade rooms and a kindergarten. It will accommodate 700 pupils conveniently, and will serve the district bounded by Jefferson, Crest and the Railroad tracks. It is the plan of the board to turn the school to Colored pupils as soon as accommodations can be provided for the white class now located there. It is stated that now two larger brick buildings on Lacede and Cardinal are being rmeodeled for this purpose. The plan to change the Pope school is said to have been brought about mainly through the activity of E T Summyth, 524 Montrose avenue. When the school bond was passed in November, 1916, two new schools were promised the Colored citizens. Since that time, two old, but modern equipped buildings have been given to then and the Pope will be the third. In the meantime two new schools have been finished, three erected, two buildings and three sites purchased for whites. At a meeting last July the board proposed a plan to build twelve new schools and the seventh on this list is to be for Colored children, to take the place of the Cottage Avenue portables. This, when constructed, would only one of the two promised in the 1916 edition. Lincoln School Overcrowded. The Lincoln School, at Twenty-third and Eugenia, is already overcrowded. There are 650 pupils enrolled with 14 teachers. Because of this Only Colored Schools Increase During the past three years, the only increase in the public school enrollment has been among the Colored pupils. This has totaled 3,300 while the whites have lost more than 500. Largest East of Grand The largest increase among the Col- ored has been east of Grand avenue. It has been used for about 58 per- cent. West of Grand, the increase has been only 18 per cent. ST.LOUIS IS AFTER THE NAT. REPUBLICAN CONVENTION IN 1920 CHICAGO, H. Sept. 18. Chairman Will H.

The body was badly hackled by blows from the hatchet, showing that the assault was, continued, whig the victim died. No one was implicated in the murder except Mrs. Murdock, who took all the blame to herself. She was bound over to the grand jury, who indicted her, for murder in the first degree. Attorney Geo. L. Vaughn represented the defendant at the Coroner's inquest. ANNOUNCEMENT I wish to announce Mrs. Briellelowe's and my return to the city from our four-week's vacation in the middle East and North.

OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH 1429 N. 12th Street At 11 o'clock, last Sunday morning, all hearts were made to rejoice when Bro. Peter Thomas, one of our worthy young ministers, prescheduled this worthy subject, "Prayer," Acts 16:22. The covenant at 3 p., m., was spiritually fine; the Holy Spirit quickened and revived every soul; saved and unsaved At night, our good missionary, of the Antioch Association, Rev. Fatterson, preached a short, spilled sermon "For 1, if I be lifted up, from the earth, will draw all men into me," St. John 12:32. Afterwhich he administered the Lord's Supper, Bro. Thomas officiated during the pastor's absence, and so well did he manage like father, one could scarcely tell the shephard was absent. We are all deeply indebted to this worthy young man, and we bear him up with our prayers to God for him, that he may be richly repaid. The members paid a touching tribute of homage to the pastor's wife Monday night, Sept. 15, which was her birthday. She was showered with silver and other gifts, which brought tears of joy to her eyes and greater joy to each donor's heart. Rev. D. W. Merris, pastor. ST. JAMES CHURCH Dr. Peck preached a scholarly sermon Sunday morning from St. Luke 7:30-40 verses. Theme, "Christianity a corrected medium for the world's thought." Taking a basis for his discourse, the story of the sinful woman who washed His feet with her tears and wiped them with the hairs of her head, the pastor vividly described the Pharisees as they stood with all of their arrogance and self righteousness bitterly condemning the woman and criticising the Master. After administering a stinging rebuke to them Jesus forgive the woman and bade her "go in peace." The world was thinking wrong in those days as the Pharisees school taught a "God of Revenge." When Jesus came He taught "God is Love." While He hates sin, He loves the sinner. The world is still thinking wrong, he continued. Religion will receive a shock such as the government has. The dominant race is standing, as did the Pharisees of arrogant and self righteously criticizing condemnation and persecuting Jesus, but God was not dead, and there will come a day when the hearts of the world will change and men will recognize the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of man. So impressive was the message that four responded to the pastor's appeal and united with the church. At three o'clock Rev. A. R. Dobbins delivered a soul-stirring sermon from Prov 9:1, subject, "The great feast." A pentacostal wave swept over the congregation as he expounded the scripture, reminding one of the good old days when our forefathers delighted in giving want to their feelings. There were more than 200 communicants. Commission and how to give with him. Thus ended a day of spiritual feasting and rejoicing. I don't forget to commend you on day evening at a clock.

May 12, 1919 (Previously published May 16, 1919) This is to certify that I have read carefully Prof. I. Baker's booklet on The Soul of Man. He or she who has given any thought on this subject and regards the hereafter knows the reason. I carefully recounted this most important fact. I find in my research in Biblical and ancient literature that the soul of map is the greatest of all subjects to be considered. When King David was in his quietude, he stole away because he knew the value of his soul. And in his prayer he said, 'Oh my soul, why art, then so quieted, and why art then cast down?' Because he knew that precious and pure jewel given to man, because he knew a man's body must die, but his soul lives on with God that gave it. The heaven may pass away and the earth may be blotted out, but the Soul lives on. In this recommendation I say, to the young man, to the old man and to all the people of the world; that I cheerfully recommend this little books because of its importance. All of the great prophets and ancient historians, from the existence of the world, have paid particular attention to this thought, the Soul of Man. Tom Bayne, the great intellect, and all others, in the extremity of all their misery had neglected to cultivate the most important part, which was the Soul. Every man should bequeath in memory of his ancestors, this booklet, "The Soul of Man," to his future generations, for truly this book should be in every home. If a man has no land, no money, he should leave this booklet as a guiding stone for the greatness of his generations to come. The Bible states in getting wisdom, never forget the important part, which is the Soul. Respectfully yours, CAPTAIN C. H. TANDY, 1224 Baynard Avenue, WAR AND THE COLORED SOLDIER Twas said that this war was the whole man's war. That the Negro would help to win it. So they called him to his colors. And carried him to drill. He went right through the forties. With a strong determined will. He learned to fight so quickly. That the captain said with awe. These boys must go right over. Or we will lose this war. So the gave him guns and bayonets. And he made of steel. And sent him in a hurry. To frown battle fields. He pled to be the bravest. That war went to fight. He lay the Germans running. From here morn till night. He was credited for his bravery. In cry battle fought. And went right through the trunches. With a single balk. Now they are coming homeward, The little has been won: With little scars, metal bars, To tell us that they have done Some will falling footsteps, Some will and cannot see. This time is asking loudly, What their reward shall be. They are not ask for favor, Can he government, Who they have served, Only not as simply justice, Why they so richly deserve It is to Under Sammy, To give him all his rights. He only wants his freedom, For he is to win that fight. Tuskegee Institute began its 39th annual session on Tuesday, September 9, and before the end of the week all of the available dormitory space was taken. Such an opening is unprecedented in the history of the Institute. Because of the increase and demand for teachers in Agriculture, a large number of students are enrolling this year in that department and taking advantage of the Smith-Hughes Vocational Courses. A large number of young women are taking domestic science while auto mechanics is leading-as popular branch for young men in the Trades School. Mr. Joseph L. Whiting, who for a number of years was Professor of Education, in the Academic Department and who later served over seas in the Educational Department of the A. E. F., has returned and been placed in charge of the Teacher Training Courses of the Smith Hughes Vocational work. Captain William H. Walcott, who for ten years was assistant commandant under Major J. B. Ramsey, and who has been acting commandant since Major Ramsey resigned, more than a year ago, to accept an important position in Washington, D. C. under the War-Camp Community Service, has been appointed commandant, with the title of major. Major Walcott is a graduate of Hampton Institute. Many of the old teachers who were engaged in over seas work, during the war period, have returned to their posts in the various departments on the grounds. This is also on the young men students. With many of the old faculty among the student body and faculty it is a revival of the real school spirit which had to be abandoned during the war. Mr. J. E. Whitfield has been appointed acting director of the Agricultural department, to succeed Mr. F. H. Cardozo, who resigned in July on account of his health. Mr. Whitfield is a member of the Class of 1910. The Rosenwald School building program copitius to grow. An active campaign to complete a total of 1,000.

STWO LYNCHED IN COLORADO According to press reports two Mexicans were lynched at Pueblo, Colorado, a few days ago. This shows to the American people that the detergard for law and order is growing rapidly and is infesting all parts of the country. To hear of a white man or Mexican as a victim of the lyncher's rupe, reminds us of the gravity of this menace and impels us to protect its wrong the more. We therefore call upon every class or group of citizens or aliens to rise and protest against the national evil which threatens the overthrow of this government. No one can afford to hold his peace at a time like this. Let's all join in and make America a safe place for all law-abiding people to live. A man should be just as safe in Texas as he is in New York.

Chatman, of Kansas City, is conducting a series of meetings under the big tent at 4362 Cottage Ave. The sermon-lectures delivered by these "Men of God" on timely topics are arousing great interest. Attention is directed to the fact that the condition of the world today is a fulfilment of prophecy—a sign of the nearness of Christ's return. A cordial invitation is extended to all. Come. Bring your Bibles. "Prove all things; hold fast that which is good." (1 Thes. 5:21) Another Letter From Mabel Dear Ethel: I promised to write you last week, but the truth is I have been having the time of my young life, and have simply neglected you, and furthermore I caught the disease; it called the "Jazzland Fever." Do you know, girl, I've been to that place three or four times every week since I've been here, and do you know that "Everybody's doing it"? Well, that's what I mean by "Jazzland Fever," and it's a regular epidemic. Every time I go there I see many of the same faces, but, of course, there are many new ones, too, because the place is always filled, and with the best-painted, jolly bunch you ever, saw in your life. There is something, girl, about this place that seems to just pull you back again and again and again. One seems never to get tired of being there. It's a very cheerful place, with its warm, inviting color combination of red and white, its hundreds of multi-colored and white lights, the constant hum and buzz of happy conversation, the rush and bustle of business, the cheerful-looking, smiling attendants and that wonderful jazzy music which just sees your feet a patting and your shoulders a swaying. You know there is a certain fascination about being in a crowd which seems to appeal to everyone. is an almost irresistible manner. All these things and then something else. I guess, is what is the cause of the "Jazzland Fever." Of course we all go to the dear old Booker- Booker-Washington Theatre first, and accept it from me, girl, they are having a wonderfully good run of shows there. They've got the Byrd-Ewing Company now and they are what is called in stage parlance, "a knockout" an Oriental musical comedy entitled "In Siam," and the people are simply jamming in to see it. But to get back to Jaxkland: I was there last Tuesday and the 20th Century Boys had a banquet. They are a deen-cun, decent bunch of young fellows. Each escorted a handsome gowned maiden, and they surely had a swell spread: cutlets, caimauque, flowers everything. The banquet was served in the extreme south end of the dance floor, itself. They had it roped off from the balance of the dance floor and covered with canvas that fitted smooth. The girls who waited on them were looking as "sharp as tacks." I think Johnnie Ross, the Jaxkland Beauty Expert, must have given them some extra touches, because they "had all parts of him," and the 20th Century Club Boys are surely a fine-looking, jolly bunch. If I was a man I'd join them. Say, girl. I found out who was the man they called "Mr. Charlie." He is Mr. Tom's brother (you remember the big man I wrote of before). They make what is called in vaudeville a "team." Mr. C. doing the "straight" and Mr. T. the "comedy." They seem to work pretty well together, too. C being somewhat on the quiet easy-talking order and T. with a hour, strong voice and brisk way. But, really, he is a big-hearted sort of a man. I heard a little girl tell him about losing a brooch, valuable only to he as a keepsake. That big, brisk fellow seemed so tender with her. He immediately got on the floor and announced the fact to the "house," and in a short time someone turned the brooch in to him, and he gave it to her. I had a talk with Mr. Charlie and we were discussing the reason why Jazzland does not close until 2 a.m. and this is the gist of what he said: "There are many of our people such as postal clerks, railroad men, waiters, porters, smithers, sharbers, domestic servants, etc. who do not get off from their work until 10 or 11, some one o'clock." They have simple time for rest the next day, but no chance for much diversion. It is universally conceded by all who have given the matter any thought that some form of mental or physical diversion is just as necessary to all normal persons as food, drink or air, otherwise the ultimate result would be insanity. I never thought of that before, but if seems very logical; don't you think so?

Great Success of The Specialty Jewelry& Loan Co. Great Success of The Specialty Jewelry& Loan Co. Remarkable Advance of Race Enterprise-Should Inspire Negroes to Invest in It. One of the most remarkable successes that it has been our pleasure to note in St. Louis is that achieved by the Specialty Jewelry and Loan Co. of 925a N. Jefferson Ave. The firm was organized March 4th, 1918, by Dr. Wm M. Riley, the optician, with a capital of $655.16, to sell jewelry on the installment plan. It was then known as the Jefferson Specialty Co. On January 13th, 1919, its assets were $1,445.00 and the company decided to add a loan department which would make small loans to persons who were responsible. On the following day, January 14th, $1,000.00 of stock was sold to Negroes and the money placed in the bank to finance the loan department. On April 30th, articles of incorporation were filed with a capital stock of $4,000.00 subscribed and paid for. In a short while the business was incorporated and began a steadily growing volume of business. Churches, whose doors were about to be closed were given financial aid, business men who, to tide over the difficulty, and laborers out of work borrowed money to help out their families. All loans were made so that the borrower could pay back at his own terms, so much per week. It was, not long before, a healthy dividend of 18 per cent was cleared on the investment. And again on September 5th, another 18 per cent dividend was declared. Instead of employing one man, as at first, the company employed seven persons. The company now announces the fact that they have filed articles for $14,000,000 capital stock, placing $10,000,000 in the hands of stockholders. It will increase its force shortly to 14 persons employed and extend its business operation to four departments, jewelry, loan, silver plating and optical. The company invites the inspection of the public, and all persons who would like to invest in a going concern may get further information by calling at the company's factory and offices, at 325a N. Jefferson Ave. Dr. Riley will be glad to impart all necessary information. Surely a Negro enterprise that paid during war times 36 per cent on its investment in one year will attract the attention of every race-loving Negro who has money to invest. Stock may be bought on the installment plan. The above facts are sworn to by the Board of Directors. THE "WATCH RESULTS" HAIR GROWER This treatment consists of a box of salve or a bottle of tonic.

A New Weekly Paper BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Sept. 18. The Time's Plaindealer, a weekly new- paper edited by Henry P. Arnold, and whose managing editor is W. L. Porter, made its appearance here Saturday, August 31. A great sale begins here tomorrow. Everybody knows that prices are on the upward trend, and this is particularly true of stoves. Therefore, in order to give the public of St. Louis an opportunity to buy stoves at OUR OLD PRICES we announce this great sale two months ahead of the stove season. You can benefit tomorrow by our wonderful purchases made in 1918 and in the early part of this year. Now Is the Time to Save Money If you wait until fall you are certain to pay the high prices which will prevail---if you buy now, however, you will make a positive saving of a good many dollars. Not only are all of our stove prices old prices, but for this sale we have arranged a number of very special bargains. Don't fail to come tomorrow and profit by our foresight. You may not be ready for your stove. In that case simply pay a deposit on the stove you select and we will consider it a sale and deliver the stove where and when you want it. This will enable you to take advantage of the present low prices and then you will have your stove set up and ready for use whenever the cold weather drops in.

The Only McNichols Our easy credit terms are offered to one and all alike. Just a small payment at time of purchase, and then a little each week or month as you can best spare the money. There is no reason why you cannot have a good stove, and get it at the rock-bottom price when It's easy to pay the McNichols' I saw the house police, "Mitch" and Gross, "sulothing" around the place, so I keep an eye on them, and pretty soon I saw them swoop down on a "bird" who had a suspicions-looking bottle hid under the table. They took it and smelled it and put it in their pocket and said something to the fellow. I don't know what was in the bottle, it may have been something intoxicating, because I know they do not allow anyone to bring any liquor into the place. They are pretty strict about such things and about keeping order. They are right, as I see young women, children, accompanied by their parents, old women with grey hair and grey-haired men, as well as the younger set. All of them can go with a feeling of perfect security. Let ADAMB.

There's a rumor aroaf that the Velled Prophet will prophet night and crown some girl queen. Bye, boy girl. LUTHERANS ATTENTION Have you attended Lutheran Schools and Churches in the South?
