veteran newspaper man, wove them into a series of
riddles, each asking a pert and pertinent question
concerning the piano, and each having an answer
that leads deftly and naturally into an interesting
little discourse upon the instrument that will be
certain to prove attractive to the children. They
arc designed to arouse in them a desire to have in
their own homes this purveyor of all the good times
they read about, and start them upon the course
of household discussion and persuasion that so often
ends in the purchase of a piano.
Here are the riddles: " W H O handles the most
keys, a locksmith or a turnkey?" "WHAT kind of
a picture would you draw to illustrate music?"
" W H E R E do the folks put on the most airs?"
" W H E N is the best time of year for the ragpicker?"
" H O W can you pass notes around in school with-
out fear of getting caught?" "WHY is the best man
at a wedding like the bride's sister-in-law?"
If you are curious to know the answers Kohler &
Campbell, Inc., will be glad to send you a set of
these handsome and brightly colored little booklets
on request. As for the thousands of kiddies who

not a few of their elders, will quickly demonstrate a
demand for them that will more than equal the
supply.
WHERE MONEY IS WORTHLESS.
Piano salesmen in this country need not complain
about it being hard to sell pianos in this country
when they are informed that there is a region in
Europe where money is reported to be valueless.
This is the Volga district of Russia. The condition
of the rural population in that part of Russia is
excellent, owing to the fact that much which was
formerly sold is now consumed, because money is
useless, the peasants being unable to purchase agri-
cultural implements, seeds, clothing, or the various
manufactured articles that they were wont to use
formerly.
In the majority of the villages the
peasants own the land, it having been equally dis-
tributed among the adult inhabitants.
