 Read the Best

Weekly Newspaper and Family Jour-
 nal in the Country,
 THE WEEKLY EDITION OF THE SPRINGFIELD (MAss.) REPUBLICAN, which was established in 1924 by Samuel Bowles, has recently been enlarged to 12 pages or 84 columns. The price remains at $1 per year, or 10 cents a month for shorter periods.
 This generous enlargement, adding 28 columns to the capacity of the paper, allows the introduction of many new and attractive features.
 The news of Western Massachusetts and New England in particular, and of the world in general, is now presented in more thor ough manner than ever before. The news matter is not thrown together in promiscu- ous fashion, but is carefully edited and intelli- gently arranged.
 The valuable literary department, for which the paper has always been famous, is made richer and more comprehensive.
 A sermon or other serious paper is printed every week, selections being made from the leading preachers of the various religious bodies, and often from the local pulpits of Western Massachusetts. The religious news and discussion of the day is also carefully reviewed.
 A bright, entertaining and wholesome oA46AAnA oeOAyS huu du dIOIdCt1t0 uopdTG. ment for young people, are regular features. Each number contains a good variety of original or selected poetry. The special interests of women in the way of education, work, household affairs, dress, etc., receive liberal attention every week.
 Interesting letters from regular and occa- sionAl correspondents are more fully given than has heretofore been possible The news of the theaters and of outdoor sports is pre- sented when interest and importance justify. Agricultural news and hints for the far mers are carefully gathered and occupy more space than formerly.
 ], The peoples interests in all political, social Eapd industrial affairs are steadily studied and tadvocated from the stand point of indepen- dence and a patriotism that is higher and broader than partisanship. In word, the publishers seek to make The Weekly Republican more than eyer the best weekly newspaper and family journal combined in the country.
 To all residents of New England who do not take a daily paper. or who desire to supplement their daily reading by another presentation of the worlds current history accompanied by choice class of general reading, the paper now confidently comments itself anew.
 Former dwellers in New England and others elsewhere who wish to keep informed of the life and thought of this region will also find the enlarged paper invaluable.
 Send for free sample copy.
 All subscriptions payable in advance.
