.. 2. A TALK TO THE PEOPLE OF RAINIER VALLEY, this editorial is chiefly addressed. The Star wants a frank talk with you This paper has been your friend in the past, is your friend now, and wants to continue to be your friend in the future The Star was the @nly paper in Seattle that fought side by side with you against the attempt to extort extra nickels from you for fares; this paper was with you in the fight to obtain transfer privileges ; The Star's editors were arrested because they were making these fights for you You remember that? We mention these things to erfiphasize our statement that The Star is deeply interested in the welfare of Rainier valley, as it is in the whole city of Seattle It is for this reason The Star has suggested the motorbus plan as a way out of the entanglements in the Rainier valley. This plan will help the Rainier valley out of a muddle which no other plan yet suggested seems capable of clearing. " You want litigation ended so that necessary street "improvements in the Ratnier valley will be accomplished . Well, that’s exactly what the motorbus plan will ' bring about oF NEwsr | 598 mp hb | THE SEATTLE oF scrirrs N Dalty by The » exchange cosnectin; os 1 departmente.

A baker in Breda had the ingenious idea of ng bread made from flour composed of two-thirds wheat one-third ground tulip bulbs. ' The bread tastes well, is very nourishing, and very cheap, | ng to the vast stock of tulip bulbs available everywhere Hoiland. The association of Dutch bakers have officially ttioned tulip bread, and a loaf has been presented to the of war, who has recommended it for army use A FEW of the poor having been handed Christmas bas-| we their stomachs will be full for the coming , their backs clothed and the rent paid. THERE ARE depths of human depravity few oan understand; for! a Chicago man got mad because they served corned beef too in the boarding-house, and shied a brick through the window. A PRETTY dimple is a poor asset when it comes to baking bread. Journal. All right, neighbor, but we refuse to be scared away the dimpie.

Now you have the litigation against the Seattle, Renton & Southern as to motorbus plan, And so, there is no need to submit to the acquisition of the railroad, The city will dismiss the any hold-up proposition by the receivers of the Seattle, action involving the validity of the franchise of the Renton Renton & Southern line, It will dismiss with prejudice the suit to condemn YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH EVERYTHING YOU the railway for city operation WANT BY THE MOTORBUS PLAN, THE SAME AS When that is done, there will be no reason why the YOU CAN BY THE PURCHASE OF THE RENTON city will not be able to go ahead with any street improves LINE.

It is for that reason that some of them have been willing to accept the $1,500,000 purchase agreement on a 28-year-payment plan, by which the city is to become owner of that portion of the Renton line which lies within the city limits. But these people favored the 28-year plan because it was the only one suggested or di The Star asks you to think the matter o Nl You probably will have a chance to express yourself the two propositions next March If the people refuse to purchase the Renton: line for the extortionate price demanded, you will be left high and dry unless the motorbus plan is adopted. There are valid objections to the S, R. & S. deal that cannot be urged against the motorbus idea It involves but a fraction of the expense; it accom- complishes more for the rest of Seattle; it will connect complishes more for the rest of Settle; it will connect ver carefu on I@ve seemed to to SANTA Claus May HAVE BROUGHT THESS THINGS DOWN THE CHIMNEY Bur, Beci@vE ME, THE Moss oF THEM ARE GOING BACK ‘THAT WAY!
