The Sam Fox Publishing Co., of New York
and Cleveland, O., announces a window display
contest in which any music dealer can take part,
which opens at once and closes December 15.
The displays can be on any one of the three
Dorothy Lee songs, "One Fleeting Hour," "Out
of the Dusk to You" and "In the Heart of the
Hills." Title pages, display signs and other
material are to be supplied free to the contes-
tants. Further, the contest is open for the dis-
play of sheet music, records or player rolls.
There are ten prizes in all in this window
display competition and in case of a tie sup-
plementary prizes will be awarded. There are
three judges of the contest, all members of the
staff of music trade papers, who for a number
of years have devoted their attention to the
interest of music dealers.
Interested dealers who make a display of title
pages and advertising material, which is sup-
plied by the Sam Fox Publishing Co., are to
send in photographs of their windows up to
and including December 15 of this year. It is
planned to decide the contest and award the
prizes promptly so that the winners will receive
the prizes as Christmas presents.

Gets Negro Spiritual
Death of Bernard Bacher
Joe Davis, head of the Triangle Music Pub-
lishing Co., has secured the publishing rights
to the Negro spiritual, "Death's Black Train Is
Coming." This number originally appeared on
the Columbia record and it is said the Columbia
Phonograph Co. sold over 200,000 records of it.
From present indications it should have a very
healthy sale in sheet music form.
CANTON, O., September 7.—Bernard Bacher,
well-known local piano man, is dead here fol-
lowing a brief illness. The deceased came to
Canton from Akron several years ago where he
had been identified with the piano business.
His mother, residing in Akron, two brothers
and three sisters survive. Burial was made in
Canton.
W. Va. Education
Board Song Book
Twenty-three Thousand Copies Are Being Dis-
tributed Among the Schools of That State
The Department of Education of the State of
West Virginia has just issued a "West Virginia
Song Book." This publication, containing 175
pages, was compiled under the direction of J. S.
Bonar, State Director of Teachers Institutes.
It is an unusually interesting work with many
constructive features which will have excep-
tional value to the teacher and student and all
others interested in music.
Twenty-three thousand copies of this book
were distributed among the fifty-five counties
of the State of West Virginia, enough to supply
every teacher in every school of the State. The
publication contains well-known hymns and
songs, including the number "West Virginia,"
written by T. J. Honaker, clerk of the Board
of Public Works, Charleston, W. Va., and Harry
Jay.
Reginald and Frank Corbett have opened a
new music store in the Wolff Building, Aber-
deen, Wash., handling a general stock of
musical instruments. The Corbett brothers
came here from Canada about eighteen months
ago.
