FRANK A. MUNSEY, 5s TOMORROW, MADE
 FORTUNE BY HARD WORK

A man who has made himself a multi millionaire by honest and wor- thy endeavor, instead of by the du- biQus methods of "the Street" is Frank Andrew Munsey, owner of Nun seys. The Argosy and several other magazines, the Baltimore News, the Washington Times, the Philadelphia Times and the Boston Journal MT. Munsey will be fifty-eight years old tomorrow, having been born at Mer- cer, Me, Aug. 21, 1854. He has late ly occupied the limelight by reason of his activity in promoting the National Progressive Party movement and IS one of Col Roosevelt's most 1nf1uen- tia1 allies
 -zMr.s Munsey's recipe for success is little different from that followed by Rll men who have won fortune by Berving instead of f1eecing the public. Briefly, it's main ingredient is that disgusting one called thard work < The wealthiest of the worlds publish FITS has had more than his share of koiL and has, earned the vacation he has taken on, his recent jaunt to Eur Dpe.

 but in MT. Munsey's case this was speedily supplanted by a desire to be- con1e a publisher.
 Having become an expert key pounder and proficient in Morse, he mas made manager of the Western Union office in Augusta. The capital rity of Maine was then, to an even greater extent than now,. the center pf the mail order paper publishing business of America. The nabobs and plufocrats of the little city were the owners of the monthly journals that Eircnlated throughout the rural sec A0rfs of America. MT. Munsey de- kernained to emulate them, but, being still boy, determined to woo fortune fhrdugh the publication of a paper Tor other boys. Thirty years ago the future multi-millionaire landed in New Fork. and, on a capital of pluck, per- Keverance and capacity for hard work end a very few dollars, started the EoIden Argosy.

He merely denied himself of sleep and, after hard day nf office work wrote serial stories dealing with the adventures and sub Requent successes of youthful invad- CTS of the metropolis.

Levee officials and United States
engineers have given up all hope
of saving the levee and the great
basin of the St. Francis.
They threw up their hands in
despair today when reports came
in from dozen different points
that the levees were threatening
to break at any moment.
The water is tapping the top of
the dykes at any moment. In
many places it is pouring over in
to the low country. The current
seems to be growing swifter. And
the waters are rising, always ris-
