A Little Talk
About Values
BY JOHN +. FAI.LON.

You value things by their
usefulness. beauty, intrinsic
worth. sentimental worth or
historic worth. You value
most OF the things you buy
first by their utility and sec
ond BY their pleasing quail
tics.
Some things are intended
for service. others simply to
look at and admire. while
MANY things have both a
useful and ornamental value.
Take two articles alike in
form, but much different in
quality. One NAV be d real
bargain at a dollar while
the other would be dear at
fifty cents. The reason for
this is that the article of
superior quality will give
three or four times the serv-
ice, wear. satisfaction and
usefulness. In order to get
the best value that MONEY
can buy. one must exercise
Judgment.
You need have little
doubt, however. OF the val
ucs offered by the mer-
chants who advertise in
THE STAR. These mer-
chants are known BY the
values they give. They
, know that a reputation for
honest values is their most
valuable asset and strive to
give their customers the
greatest values obtainable.
Read their advertisements
i'll THE STAR closely and
constantly every day and
then YOU will have little
need to worrv about values.

English State Horses.

From the London Chronicle.
A curious interest attaches To the
cream-colored horses which draw the
state coach of the sovereign on cere-
monial occasions. These ponies" as
they are called, represent the white horse
which was the sta ndard of the ancient
Saxons. and is still preserved in the royal
shield of the House of Hanover. b.. which
il was reintroduced into England. The
famous white horse carved on tn, slope
of Ellington hill in Berkshire is proof
that it was known to our Saxon ances-
tors, who thus recorded their great VIC
tory over the Danes. Who has not heard
of The Securing of the White Horse?
