Spain Is Buying Pianos.

The American government is buying
mules and blankets in Spain and pay
ing for them with pianos made in the
United States, according to George W.
Pound. manager of the National Piano
Manufacturers association. in calling
attention To one of the striking devel,
opments at the present time in this
country's export trade.
AS is the case with neutralS gen.
orally" Mr.. Pound said. much of
Spain's population has profited largely
by the war, and the demand for pianos
has persisted in spite of the fact that
the prices of all musical instruments
in Spain have doubled and trebled
since the war began"
Mr.. Pound said that the American
manufacturers were thereby offered an
unusual opportunity tn help the gov
eminent pay the war bills as well as to
meet the foreign deIpand for our goods.
In this connection. Mr.. Pound said. pi-
anO manufacturers can only export
their pianos through government IL

ISANC|ENT CUSTOM
No One Knows Who Originated
the "Round Robin"
Long in Use on Shipboard for Deter.
mining Each Sailors Watch-Often
Employed in the Form
of Petition.

That watch kept on board ship at
night, while lying at anchor. is called
the anchor watch. Generally speaking
il consists of one officer and one sea-
man. whose duties are 10 watch out for
the safety of the ship, see that the
anchor light is kept burning brightly.
and take care that the vessel does not
drag her anchor. If there are eight
hours of darkness To be covered and
eight men constitute the crew, these
men are required To watch one hour
each. If there be more or less men
the question arises who is To go on
watch first or last, or. perhaps. who
is to "lay over until the next day.
IT thus becomes necessary To ascer-
tain who is To 90 on duty ut IL Ger
tain hour and each man must know
when his turn comes. Arrangement
for this is made by forming round
robin" or putting il in another way.
by "chalking for Watches" which is ac-
cOmplished in such u way that each
sailor has the time for keeping his
watch determined by lot, one not be-
ing favored more than another. The
thing is decided in this way:
One man draws Il large circle on
the lid of chest. or, if that is not con-
venient. the deck. The circle is sub
divided into as many divisions as there
are men; and each man makes his
mark i'm one of the spaces. This may
10 iraIA frt N or
other sign that will suffice to identify
him.
During the time the sailors are
placing their marks within the division
Of the circle. one of their number is de-
tanned outside on deck and kept in
ignorance of the identity of any au-
thor of any mark. When, all have
made their marks the round robin Is
complete. The man who was on deck
is now called, someone else having
made n mark for him. This man now
proceeds to erase the marks. one by
one. The owners of the marks are
numbered from number one up, in sue
cession. as he grasses them, and their
numbers are chalked up on the sides
of the berthS: those above number ten
lying over until the next night. As the
man who grasses the marks does not
know who made this or that. he can
not show any Partially.
The round robin is sometimes put to
other use when the crew of vessel
at sea wish to present a grievance in
the form Of petition to the captain.
Their complaint is made out in writ
ing, and the signature put in the form
of a round robin. which prevents the
writer of the document from being
singled out and treated. as a ringlead-
or, with undue severity. a famous case
in example of similar use of the round
robin in the army within recent times
was the Roosevelt ROUND Robin" dur.
ing the Spanish war.
Where the custom originated no one
knows.

KEEP FARM RECORDS
TO SHOW ACTIVITIES
Cash Accounts, Properly Assem-

Often Overlooked Projects Produce
Nearly as Much Money as Obvi-
ousIy important Carefully
Avoid Sudden Changes.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of AgricultureD
When Il record is kept of all the
money taken in and spent on the farm,
AT the close of the business year the
cash accounts can be assembled under
headings that will show exactly what
branch of the farm activities produced
the dollars and what each required i'm
the way Of cash expenditure To keep
going. Some farmers are apt to Judge
of the Importance of the various farm
projects by the time it takes to put
them through. To such, complete
cash record for II year, properly as
scmbled, will be an eye-opener. Often
seemingly unimportant things on the
farm, such as the flock of poultry, pro-
duce nearly as much net cash as the
obviously important. The years cash
summary helps the farmer TO get q
better perspective of these things.
In using such records as an aid 10
future plans, hasty conclusions should
not he drawn. nor should snap judg-
montS be taken. The fact that the
hogs or the corn crop brought in the
most net money last year is no reason
for assuming that all the activities of
the farm henceforth should be devoted
Ia the sole purpose of hog or corn
raising. 1t may he that the Keeping
Of COWS was partly responsible for
making the hogs So productive of net
cash, or that the growing of wheat,
clever. ar other crops in rotation with
corn made the latter crop much more
profitable than il would have been if
;,roAn alone. Similar conditions will
be met with on all farms, and there
fore no sudden changes should be
made on the basis of what few ac-
counts may show.
On the other hand, single years
figures will occasionally Indicate that
something is radically wrong; will
show where the net expenses of one
farm enterprise is II great drain on the
not cash returns made by the others.
All phases of such an enterprise
should be carefully studied and un-
