THAT the singing of all the big song hits from
competitors' catalogs by the Feist boys at their
recent annual dinner shows that despite the fact
that they admit "Hawaiian Butterfly," "Where
Do We Go From Here, Boys," and "Mother,
Dixie and You" are hits, they recognize a good
song when it is published.
THAT it also shows the Feist staff recognize
that the fellow who knows what the other man
has got has a bigger chance of putting some-
thing over.
THAT T. B. Harms & Francis, Day & Hunter
will publish the musical numbers for the Nor-
worth Revue, "Odds and Ends."
THAT while a number of publishers are featur-
ing patriotic songs there are others using this
time to feature novelty songs and with good
success too.
THAT the "Livery Stable Blues" is one of the
most popular numbers of the year.
THAT the above song is not only having a
good sale but has been produced on the better
class records and is popular in that field.
THAT the title is striking even if the thought
of a livery stable may not be attractive.

they serve. This fund is used to give addi-
tional compensation and rewards for faithful
or exceptional service and for any new ideas
presented by the men which the house may
adopt. A large portion of last year's profits was
placed in this fund, and like or larger amounts
will be set aside for a similar purpose each year.
Mr. Feist also stated that every man in the
organization was in line for promotion, that no
favorites were being played or would be played,
that the test of a man's ability was his capacity
for work and the results which he could pro-
duce. Mr. Feist added, "We are for you and
we know you are for us. Our business is on a
profit-sharing basis, and we want you to know
that the more the business makes the greater
will be your share of reward."
Following this the many new songs which
have lately been written by the Feist staff were
presented for the benefit of those present. The
dinner broke up only after each man had eaten
all he could and had sung all he wanted to.
All in all it was an exceedingly successful
affair.
On Wednesday morning a meeting was held
at which decisions were rendered on those new
songs which had been presented at the banquet
on Tuesday night, and other ideas for the fur-
therance of the business were discussed and
adopted. During the rest of the week a num-
ber of regular business sessions were held and
there were also a number of informal gather-
ings at both the Feist offices, 235 West Fortieth
street, and at the Feist professional rooms, 135
West Forty-fourth street.
The convention closed the latter part of the
week with everyone who attended feeling that
it had been the most successful of all the con-
ventions held thus far, and that the Feist organ-
ization will do bigger things than ever during
the coming season.

Music publishers generally should be inter-
ested in the important announcement made last
week by the second assistant Postmaster Gen-
eral to the effect that the importation into
Great Britain of printed forms, writing paper
with printed headings, show cards, labels, post-
ers and color or lithographic printing and coated
paper and paper hangings will not be allowed.
Also that the importation of such printed
matter as newspapers, magazines, periodicals,
catalogs, price lists, and books other than single
copies sent through the post is prohibited, ex-
cept in special cases for which a license may
be granted in exceptional circumstances and
except by parcel post within a weight limit of
seven pounds.
NEW PATRIOTIC SONG
"Good-bye Yankee Land" is the name of the
new patriotic number which will shortly be pub-
lished by Chas. K. Harris. The number is full
of life and spirit. Many letters were received in
the last two months requesting him to write
something new that would fill the want of an
American patriotic number up-to-date; this song
is the result. It will be released in the next
ten days, and a campaign of publicity will be
immediately inaugurated in its behalf.
MANY INSTRUMENTAL SUCCESSES
The number of successful instrumental suc-
cesses which have been published by J. H.
Remick & Co. this season is keeping the in-
strumental department of that firm busy. The
sales of such numbers as "Pozzo," fox trot;
"Whispering Hearts," waltz, and "Tiddle-De
Winks," fox trot, have been very heavy, and
the outlook for the fall season for these and
other instrumental numbers is very bright.
