A Good Democratic baiIy.

To the people OF this commun-
| ity we heartily recommend The
Kansas. City Daily Post as a
newspaper. 1t has the strongest
and best Geographic service of
all the papers in Kansas City
the Hearst service. The Associ-
fated Press reports have always
been prejudicial to the Demo-
cratic party and readers of Demo-
cratic papers have not been able
to get at the true inwardness Of
things, because the Associated
Press is dominated by Repub-
Leans. who in turn are dominated
by the trusts. The Hearst SER
vice is free, fair and independent.
In market reports The Post is
unsurpassed by any paper in the
West. Every detail is thorough
and complete. II is organizing
4 strong corps of country cores
pondents who are gathering news
for it and sending the same in as
specials. 1t is reliably Demo-
cratic, vigorous, conservative and
straightforward. The Subscrip-
ton price of The Post is 81. 50 a
year by mail. Therefore, all who
want Democratic daily that has
for its motto:
"Heres freedom to him that would read.
Here's freedom to him that would write,
will do we'll to subscribe for The
Kansas City Daily Post, Kansas
City, Mo.

observed anywhere. The unique and pic

leys, luxuriantly covered with green pas
lures, upon which thousands of well bred
cattle and sheep feed the year round; hand
