Maj. Gen. Peter E. Traub pays high Tribute to the Red Cross Work
 on the Battle Front

Had you seen the Red Cross as have seen it and come in contact with It as l have at the front, you wouldn't hesitate to give everything you could possibly spare, and even more, to carry on the wonderful work of this organization, said Gen. Iraub. If man is the noblest work of God, let me assure you the Red Cross, Tn periods of stress and em- ergencies is the noblest work of man. The Red Cross rose to every emer geney, It came to the front in everv- tning. Wherever there was a duty to be done there was always a rep- resentative of the Red Cross to come to the relief of the sick and wound ed.
 The campaign for used clotbine has ended and as a result of our of forts we have four very large shin ping cases packed with the best of clothing, ready to go forward via freight to the American Red Cross. Baltic Terminal, New York Dock Co Brooklyn, N. |.

MERCHANT KING
 DIES SUDDENLY
FRANK w. WooLWORTH OF
 NEW YORK STARTED BUSI- NESS ON S5O-MAKING EIGHT MILLION A YEAR AT DEATH.

New York, April 8.-Frank w..
 Woolworth who started flve-and- ten cent store in Utica, N. Y., 40
 wears ago, on a capital of $50 and eventually became the millionaire proprietor of a great chain of these stores in the United States, Canada and England, died suddenly early to- day at his home in Glen Cove, L. l. In addition to establishing busi- ness with profits said to be nearly S8,000,000 yearly, MT. Woolworth built the History Woolworth build ing in lower New York, said to be the tallest building in the world.
 He was born on farm at Rod man, Jefferson county, New York, April 13, 1852. Until he was 21 years old he worked on his fathers farm, obtaining meager education in the district school and later at business college. His first position was errand boy in dry goods store and advanced until he became a clerk and a salesman, during which time he married on salary of $8.50 per week. He worked six years in the dry goods business in various stores before a successful bargain counter sale gave him the idea of the possibilities of making profits from nickel and dime purchases.
 His idea when broached to his em- ployers was termed visionary. Wool worth was determined to test the plan and his first venture was at Utica in 1879. He had but $50 in cash and gave his note for the goods. In year he had paid off his debt and saved some money. Closing out his store he located at Lancaster, Pa. and established the foundation of his fortune.
 His rapid rise from small "pigeon hole" store to the palatial Woolworth building in this city with more than 800 branch stores in the United States-over 50 in Can ada and England-forms one of the most interesting business romances in the history of the world. The business was incorporated several years ago for S65,00O,000.

When he open ed the kitchen door on his return the room was alive with angry bees, fully awakened from. their winter sleep. The battle lasted for two hours. MT. Nutter was the winner, but when the fight was over there were more than 100 bees on the floor. Nutter says he has no fear of rheumatism now.
