This department is designed to advance the sales
of sheet music, and give any current information in
the Sheet Music Trade.
This publication believes that Sheet Music will
pay the dealer, just as any other commodity pays
those who merchandise it properly.
The conductor of this department will review
any numbers that are sent in for the purpose. It is
not the intent to criticise, but to review these offer-
ings, giving particular information of the theme and
a description of the musical setting of the number
discussed.

address accepting the home as a memorial for the
State.
"Old Folks at Home," a baritone solo by Mr.
Almstedt, followed an address by James Francis
Burke of Pittsburgh on "Stephen C. Foster."
The unveiling of a bronze memorial tablet from
the city of Pittsburgh was accompanied by "Massa's
in the Cold, Cold Ground," a baritone solo by Mr.
Almstedt with the chorus. This song, which was
also written at Federal Hill, was intended as a me-
morial dirge in honor of the poet-composer, after
which "America" was sung by Miss Metz and the
chorus. The audience was asked to join in the last
verse, which was accompanied by a military band
from Camp Henry Knox.
The male chorus, soloists, and accompanists gave
their services as a patriotic contribution.
The first order for two copies of the souvenir
booklet of "The Old Kentucky Home," which was
issued last Wednesday by the Old Kentucky Home
Commission, was received from Robert Pittman
Reid, of Evanston, Wyo.
