IT regret that on trip abroad which
am about to take cannot have The Star
follow me from day to day, but as my flight
is to be hurried one, 1 shall have to wait
until return to the capital before again
seeing its interesting and newsy columns"
said subscriber to a reporter Of this
paper.
ION my annual vacations in this country
have The Star follow me just the same,
and where l remain abroad for stated
period so that could furnish a post office
address, 1 would thus keep In touch with
the capital. 1 have The Star habit don't
you see. and as it is good thing, 1 be-
lieve in pushing it along. I have been
regular daily reader and subscriber to
Washington's best family paper for over
sixteen years, and while know that there
are many old subscribers who can go me
many years better on duration and regu-
larity of service, yet this is a good show
ing for not missing single issue during
this period

connection, which took place on the first
day of my arrival in this city, and. also OF

"Since that day have watched it's won
derful growth and expansion with almost
a personal interest," in fact, 1 think the
same fact holds true with all of it's regu-
lar subscribers, who in common with my
self, look upon it as silent but potential
member of the family There are many
| reasons for this hold upon the public
confidence which are well and thoroughly
appreciated by the casual and the regu-
lar reader; too many, in fact, to be now
enumerated.
Perhaps, however, aside from it's COM
plete and thorough local and general news
service stands conspicuous the clean and
readable matter which may daily be
found In it's columns, including those de-
voted to advertisements. We like to have
it in our homes because we know the
youngest in the household may read II

rate pages come as delight and relief

read all of the news that it fit to print
and to omit that which Is not.
Therefore when we read news and
other matter in The Star we accept 1t as

admit, and we are not obliged to take 1t
with questioning mental reservation as
to whether it was so or not or to place
| here and there any doubts whatever. Ex-

, and when this issue was first presented

and the belief 1 expressed at the time
that 1t was destined to achieve a pro-
