A Bit of the t’ast By Star’s Former Carriers. Guy A. Ourand, vice president and treasurer of the T. Arthur Smith, Inc., Concert Bureau, states that in his youth he used to carry The Star, his route being in the vicinity of New Jersey avenue and M street north- west. At that time, says Mr. Ourand, which was along about 1885, he served his papers “under direction of Peyton Gordon, now United States district attorney.” Exactly what Mr. Gordon's capacity was with respect to this route is uncertain. From the far- off Puget sound region comes a letter from G. S. Whitmore, president of the :Yakima, Wash., Quick Printing Com- pany, which “announces that _the writer thereof was distributing Eve- ning Stars on a route here in 1882 and GUY A. OURAND, Later he found his way out to 2,500 miles away trons, the notice asking former carriers to communicate with this newspaper. “My route was from the north side which ‘was a fair-sized route e interest- e d livered in this section nc A The Star can tell him exactly: Within that same territory now th customers total 204. One apartment house alone takes half as many Stars as Mr. Whitmore carried in 1883. “It occurs to me you might like to know that there is quite a colony from the old District of Columbla out here now,” he continues, “including _"and Mrs. Joseph Cawler, Mrs. Kaign, Mr. and Mrs. L. M. Holt, Dr. J, A. Major, not to mention a number of graduates from different educational tutions of the Capital. “We have, like all other agricul- tural communities, suffered by reason of the peculiar conditions which have deprived the farmer of a just ¥eturn for his efforts, and it is possible the result may prove a loss to the repub- lican party. On the other hand, there is a feeling that President Coolidge is making good and a desire to see him have a chance at a full term. If he keeps up as he has begun, and is the nominee of his party, it is probable he will be able to counteract the influ- ence that {s so rampant, whenever times are hard, against the party in power."” Prisoner Here Fugitive.

There are a lot of things that can be done for the expediency of the moment—but they are costly in the end. ' Do Lots of things are cheap when first bought—but dear when measured by service. The Parker-Bridget Store believes a thing is either right or wrong. There can be no moment in the store’s career when it must do something to meet a “situation.” : Our policy is plain: Good, honest merchandise for as little as GOOD merchandise can be sold. The other kind is never a bargain. To conduct this store on the principle that what is best for the customer is best for us. To take the stand that when a thing proves so un- satisfactory that the customer wants to return it, the customer is conferring the favor. “The thing is right; and the right will prevail.” (Che Avenue ai Ninth oo doedpidodoidraiudocdsaieadocdsifradoddrafoioidrafratecdsifodeddoids The Constitution Is the Bible of the Government and This Book Is Its Dictionary Thisis the book that is generally conceded to be the most -authoritative and understandable account of the working side of the Federal Government that has ever been written.
