The Second Section Will Be
 Announced Later. A Word of Warning.

The editions are very large, but they are for the whole English speaking world, and must be even ly and fairly distributed, as there will be no other at the special price. No one city can be favored over another, as that would defeat the ob- ject of the association. As the de- mand will unquestionably far exceed the supply, it has been decided to all lot to each city pro-rata, according to the daily circulation of the news papers selected to make it known through advertising. The only way to be certain of securing all the vol umes is to order promptly each week. Prompt action insures saving of many dollars.
