Harmonica Is Good
For Learning Music

Can you play q harmonica, or mouth
organ? 1t Is one Of the simplest of all
musical instruments to play. and seems
to be gaining in popularity just at
present.
Abraham Lincoln played a mouth
organ, even using it as a 'one-Tlan
band" during his famous political de-
bate with Stephen A. Douglas. To-day
many schools, Fairgrounds and other
recreational institutions have their har-
monica bands, composed Of many boys
and girls. The teachers and heads of
the schools favor these musical Or
ganizations because they say that play
ing the mouth organ Is good training
in the appreciation Of simple harmony
and music.
You can have a lot Of fun with one
of these instruments, and learn 10 play
1t well In comparatively short time
If you like music and can't play the
piano or any other instrument, why not
try the mouth organ2
