SONGS THAT WE
USED TO SING
Many OF the Dear Old Ia,oritcs Are
Now Being Revived.

1t has been said that in this age of
rapid progress we are prone to forget
the old order of things. STYLES and
customs are constantly changing;
new conditions bring about new in
ventions; but even though We should
try to do it, there are some of the
old things that we cannot forget.
Take, for instance, the old songs. No
body wants to forget them and no
body could entirely forget them even
though such a desire existed Every
now and then one of the dear old ia
vorites is revived and at once be-
comes as popular as in the days when
it first became a real hit"
The journal believes that its read
ers love the old songs and for their
benefit ii has arranged to offer them
a volume called Songs That Never
Grow Old" in which are contained
all the dearly beloved old faYofites.
There are two. styles of binding, one
in heavy English cloth, which IL a

have received bids for more. Liver
pool quotations, too, we're higher and
there were adviees of a further rise
in freight rates from Argentina.

Corn showed strength from the

Oats developed unusual firmness
despite free profit taking by holders
1t was gossip that foreign govern
