WOOLWORTH CO.
CELEBRATING
ANNIVERSARY
Sixty Years Of Very Successful
Merchandising In Nation
Wide Firm

The F. w. Woolworth Company is
celebrating its Goth year of success
full merchandising. The ingredients
that went into the founding Of this
nationwide enterprise was a table
set apart in a general store with a
sign "Any Article &C."
The originator of the s and 10 cent
store idea was F. w. Woolworth, who
throughout the formative years of this
organization accomplished an i'm
mense volume of work. Within few
years after establishing his first
store, he saw his idea taken up by his
brother, his cousin, and three of their
friends. BY 1912 total of SOC stores
were operating under the Woolworth
idea and he lived to see his original
store multiplied a thousand times
throughout his native land.
There are now more than 1000
Woolworth stores, and the average
stock of each is 4613 items, and the
basic policies Mr.. Woolworth pioneer.
ed remain today the inspiration of the
Woolworth organization.
In celebration of the Goth ami
versary the Woolworth organization
has completed booklet which contains
a complete history of "the enterprise
that made Americas nickels and
dimes buy more"

and work out a plain understandable
plan to, govern the activities of every
source from which might spring con-
troversies that could quickly lead to
our becoming involved in the present
European strife. Any plan that may
be adopted should be so worded as to
make perfectly clear to all, at home
and abroad, the fact that the United
States forces will not, as in 1917, en-
ter the households of European Ma
tions to mix in their quarrels. Indica-
tions are that the Mothers and Faith
ers of America are fully determined
that their youth shall never again be
buncoed into European slaughter pens.
The United States Congress under
the Constitution has the last say as
to whether there shall, or. shall not,
be war; thus, as they will be held
accountable for their acts, they should
in this particular instance jealousy
guard that prerogative by keeping the
reins in their own hands, and do all
the driving. The whole Congressional
body should remain in session at least
until the war clouds break, and sleep
with one eye open and an ear to the
ground and sentitive finger on the
cratic pulse of world conditions, and
under no circumstances grant any
special power to the President or any
other person. There is no individual
in this Country today big enough
within himself to keep this Country
out of the present war. It will take
lot of cool, clear thinking on the part
of all the people all the time.
Many of us remember having work.
ed to elect a President in 1916 under
the slogan: "He kept us out of war;:
and how quickly thereafter we were
chucked heels over head into that in
fernal European pool. We also re-
more recent elections when

Small chance there is for the re-
covery of any property taken, no
matter whether or not it is value
less to the thief. That which is held
worthless is merely dropped down
a manhole. There is just as little
chance of the thieves being cap
tured. At the sight of any one who
looks suspicious, whether or not in
uniform, they disappear in the dark
ness or in the old rookeries which
are their homes. The only safe
way for a woman to drive in GER
tain sections of New York is with
both doors locked and windows run
up too high for thief to reach
inside.
New York scene reported by May:
On Forty-ninth street, two pigeons
calmly strolling up to the front door
of swanlzy restaurant and all but
going inside. After they have wait
ed a littleS while a headwaiter
comes out and scatters food at the
curb. The pigeons hurry after it
and at once begin to enjoy a meal.
Not alone, however. A number Of
their friends, that have been quietly
waiting in the background, come
forward and join them in the free
food.

the ink was hardly dry on our ballot
before there was scheming on the
part of some of those elected to enter
the humble sanctuary of nine old men
and give them the boot. We also have
some recollection of an attempted
purge, etc. Such arbitrary acts on
the part of those in high position do
not tend to create confidence in their
ability to forget their own selfish
ambitions and work for the best in
terests of all concerned. Thus we hope
the people will demand that Congress
remain in full session and hold tight
grip on the helm of the old ship until
the storm has subsidized.

PEOPLES COLUMN
Yeadon, Pa.
October II, 1889

The two most overlooked words in
our vocabulary today, and with the
least significance are, "peace" and
neutrality. Since the day Cain slew
his brother Abel, there has always
been strife among men, and there
will always be until after the millen-
mum and Christ returns to earth to
rule.
Human nature is such that it is i'm
possible for any mentally and physic-
ally sound person to be neutral, even
if witnessing nothing more than a
common cur fight, we are all inclined
to take sides.
If every person on earth was gifted
with that high sense of honor and
keen intellect which is, So essential
for the foundation upon which; to
build the type of humane character
that influences adherence to the tenets
of God and the Christian spirit, to
Glove thy neighbor as myself, there
would be "peace on earth good will
toward men,; but such is not the case,
and when we view the moral. chaos
rampant throughout the world today
all hope of any such Utopian life
fits away and becomes lost in an
impenetrable> forest.
All down through the ages it has
been necessary for men and nations
to prepare to meet force with force
in order to maintain their inherent
rights against the greed and political
ambitions of those who gloat the idea
that might makes right. Now that
Congress is trying to find some way
to keep the Country out of war, we
hope they quit wrangling and with
one quick swing deal a death blow
to the present pseudo neutrality law
also the Pitman Bill, which looks
more like a power grabbing scheme
than an act to keep the Nation out
of war; and get their heads together
