While maintaining tone and dignity, it. touches the lives of the people at hove points than probably any other newspaper, and therein lies the secret of 15s ppopularity. What is true of the editorial page of The Star is true also of all ate departments. In sports, in finance, in IN—Omen's and home fea- tures, The Star's departments are not surpassed, and thus wherever it is read The Star becomes the favorite paper of avert' member of the family from ,,ggrandfather who probably finds the Khan daily Chronicles the most interesting column, to grandson, Who chuckles over the comic, pictures and jokes.

While maintaining tone and dignity, it. touches the lives of the people at hove points than probably any other newspaper, and therein lies the secret of 15s ppopularity. What is true of the editorial page of The Star is true also of all ate departments. In sports, in finance, in IN—Omen's and home fea- tures, The Star's departments are not surpassed, and thus wherever it is read The Star becomes the favorite paper of avert' member of the family from ,,ggrandfather who probably finds the Khan daily Chronicles the most interesting column, to grandson, Who chuckles over the comic, pictures and jokes. The. Staff;"is always interesting and readable from first page to ln;et--- that'e why it hats 68,000 eubecribere, 16,,000 more than any others Toronto, paper. LOW RATES FOR HUNTERS.
