those free college catalogues now, so
that you high school students will
know when to apply in time for avail
able scholarships.
You do not have to be a senior to
write for a free catalogue and read
for your own free catalogue and read
it from cover to cover and learn about
your prospective college or any other
college in which you may be interest
ed. The main thing is to have your
own free college catalogue at home.
Herbert wilkins Embryo Minister,
breaches at ST. Mark-On Sunday,
Sept. 3, at st. Mark Church, a Lay
was nearly full and those present
were treated to an excellent discourse
on the wages of sin by Herbert Will
kins, local young man, who appears
to be on the road of success as a min
lister, a road which his grandfather,
Rev. Brockett followed for many years
in Cambridge and Boston.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sanders Wilkins of
RoXbury are to be congratulated upon
the accomplishment of their ambitious
son, Lincoln graduate and a master
of Arts from B. U.
In addition to Mr.. Wilkins, those
present were pleased to note how Mr..
Clark, the supt. of the St. Mark Sun
day School, conducted the services.
We noted the small but effective choir
under Dolan Yates, the efficient church
organist. Mr.. Yates training was in
evidence when Mrs. Johanthan Ed
wards and Mrs. John Shelburne sang
with Fred Henderson and Mr.. Colly-
more in a real mixed quartet that we
did not know about. This quartet or
choir caused Jonathan Edwards, treas
urer of st. Mark to look up and take
notice, as well as throw out his chest
with pride.
This week again a Free Flower
ShOw-Once again we are having our
annual free dahlia show at Horticul-
tural Hall, Boston, on Sept. and
Sept. 10.
Large crowds will attend as usual,
and his year, we want more colored
persons to attend and see dahlias of
every description and larger than you
have seen in many years.
Saturday and Sunday of this week

A Real Luxury at Stokes-Most of
us have some luxury which we enjoy
to the fullest. Our only luxury is GO
ing into Tonsorial Parlor in Cam
bridge and removing our hat and sit
ting in "Bill" Stokes barber chair.
We say nothing to 'Bill", however,
he functions most effectively and eff
GENTLY. This procedure has been 60
ing on for more than twenty-five years
and it is pleasure to have a master
barber like our friend William Stokes,
trim our hair So all you Cantabrig-
ians patronize Stokes Tonsorial Par
Tor at 891 Main St., Cambridge, Mass.
North America Versus South Amer
ica-Challendon certainly upheld the
supremacy of North America at Mar
ragansett Race Track in Rhode Island
last Saturday, Sept. 2. If you missed
that race you are not a race-horse
lover. We would be a back number if
we had not been among the hundreds
OF colored persons among the thirty
thousand persons in attendance when
Kyak H. a South American bred horse,
and the horse of the year up to this
race, was beaten by our horse, Chal-
Tendon, by three lengths. We North
Americans take pride in our home
breed horses; and, the way Challedon,
bred in Maryland, ran away from
Kyak II, Sorteado, and Ligaroti, the
latter "Bing" Crosby's horse by the
way, all South American bred horses,
was treat to us all; and, our two
dollars on Challedon to win brought us
back seven dollars and twenty cents.
Oh yes, the track took this money
back, but what of it, Challedon won
that was enough for us.
Bob" Wilson's Mother Dies-Years
ago we had a comrade in arms affec-
tionately known as "Buzz" Wilson.
Last week the mother of the same
Buzz" actually the late LIST 1t. Will
liam H. Wilson. died. This colored
lady was one of Boston's best loved
mothers, and all of us regret her pass
ing. Mrs. Wilson left another son,
bob" Wilson, the only colored sam
pier in the New England office of the
United States Appraisers Office All
sympathize with Mr.. Wilson and re-
greet his greatest loss.
Who is Lord acknowledgements
are sometimes very descriptive and

are atfectionate even if at first they
appear sarcastic. Such a nickname is
the one applied to our good friend and
comrade in arms, Frederick C. Wilson
of Kendall St., Roxbury. This gentle
man has seen much action in our re-
cent wars, and as a Spanish War vet
eran, he like to wear his uniform.
However, nowadays he takes great
pride in wearing his VIEW. uniform.
So, YOU readers who saw the GUARD

Monument, where a wreath was placed
honoring the memory of our sole col

the VIEW. convention. This veteran

cognized as "Lord Ashbarrel" and. as
we just noted it is nickname of affec-
ton. Accordingly, our comrade Fred

affectionate title.
