One of the many factors con-
tributipg to the remarkably rapid
and solid growth of St. Louis is the
marvellous development of the South
west and other tributary to that city
in all lines of trade. In 1904 there
will be held the greatest Worlds
Fair in the world. The presidential
campaign will also take place. To
keep informed with the whole world
you should subscribe at once for
that peer of newspapers, The Twice,
a-week st. Louis Republic 1t il
indispensable to the farmer, ner-
chant or professional man. Its
telegraphic and cable service excels
that of any other paper. 1t prints
the news fully; not imaginative oe-
currences, but domestic and world
wide facts. 1t is Democratic in pol
itics, but distinctly a national news
paper and family journal. The sub.
scription price of 800 gives you
two papers each week, l04 papers
a year.

ARBOR DAY

Will be Observed by West Virginia
Schools April 17-SchOol Teachers
and Officers are to Encourage the
Movement.
Thos. @. Miller, State Superinte1d-
ent Of Schools, has designated Friday
April II, 1908, as Arbor Day in West
Virginia He has issued the follow
ing circular:
Friday, April IL, 1908, is hereby
designated a. Arbor Day to be observ-
ed by the schools OF West Virginia
this spring. 1t is suggested that
teachers and school officers encourage
the movement to beautify and adorn
not only the school grounds but the
home premises as we'll. The barren,
treeless front yards and uniDviting
appearance OF many houses are strong
arguments In favor OF such good work.
GAS heretofore suggested, shrubs,
ANNALS and Dubious plants may be
put out to decided advantage 10
school grounds, while vines, climbing
roses and clematis are no more out Of
place Ia the school yard than ir the
home grounds.
"Another feature of Arhor Day that
is being emphasized in many places is
the planting of shade trees along the
public highways In some sections,
too, the commercial idea is linked
with Arbur day in planting waste
places in trees for future lumber and
fuel supply, while thousands Of nut
trees are being set out, which will not
only make glad the heart OF many
boy in the middle OF the century, but
put dollars into the pockets OF the
owners of such trees.
Trusting that Arhnr Day may
bring joy to all who take part in its
observance and lasting good to fu-
ture generations.
