° Ves, Indeed, It’s a Happy New Year for The Star! We Haven't a Thing in the World to Grieve About | Take a look at the little box just below these lines, in the upper left hand corner. Yesterday it said “More than 41,000.” You will notice today that it says “More than 42,000.” The circu- || : lation aor « pe nl this ah ah H says the New Year isn’t going to be very far along before he'll have to change it again. The year that died last night was kind to The Star. And the year that was ushered in is full of promise. To all of those who helped and to all of those who are going to help, The Star sends New Year’s greetings and a prayer to the Godd Fort that the New Year may bring peace and contentment and prosperity. : : ai te Se eee RAIN TONIGHT AND FRIDAY; FRESH TO MODERATELY HIGH EAS TO SOUTH WINDS PUTT TLL LLL LLL LALL LLL | zoo | The SeattleStar juss ~ THE ONLY PAPER IN SEATTLE THAT DARES TO PRINT THE NEWS er een tT TTT PTTTTTTT TTT fie SUVA AUNNNANAAUENNGMGAANSD SD UNAAUUUAEONNNANUIOCOLONNOUAO AU a Paid Copies Daily MMMM CU Lo 5 VOLUME 15.
