The few days that remain for our
 Heart Songs" distribution win prob- aply attract crowds that have been dil- atory in possessing the greatest work or song music ever published To say that We have been pleased at it's re-
 ception is but mildly to express our feelings. The book will be taken from the piano or library thousands of times and sung from during the next few years. We know of no boohrthat could make home more attractive to the the whole family. With 400 of the most popular songs among the English speaking peoples. carefully edited. rear ranged. harmonized, given a piano score, and pitched in key adapted to the average voice, it is no wonder that thousands have felt that they must not let the opportunity slip to own so rare treasure. This is the secret of the enormous distribution go- ing on for the past few weeks from this office. During the few days left we sincerely hope none will go away dis If they do. 1t will not be because we have failed to give them timely warning. Our remarkable cou pom offer is published again in today's paper.
