1t behooves every citizen in city,
town and country to keep posted on
the stirring events that will occur In
this country and in the old world
within the next nine months. The re-
suits will effect all, personally, directly
or indirectly. This nation is on the
eve of the most exciting presidential
campaign in its history, European
politics are in a very complicated
state, and scientists are applying their
discoveries to many lines that will pro-
duce startling new things. To keep
abreast with the world one should
read, in addition TO the local or
county paper a live metropolitan
newspaper, such as The Twice a Week
Republic, of ST. Louis 1t is the most
progressive journal in the United
States, and in each issue it gives the
latest political news of all parties 10
the field, the latest general news of the
world and many valuable special feat
ures besides. This model newspaper
is delivered twice.a-week by mail for
only ST. a year, or less than one cent a
copy. The price Of the Daily and Sun
