Err NEW RECORD THIS YEAR.
Not Single Piece of Property Has Been
Offered for Sale Before the Court
House Door by the Sheriff.

new record.

day for 1903, and Sheriff Christie has

these was settled before the day of
sale.
No taxes in three years and not q
sheriff sale in twelve months is rec
ord that no other county has made in
the history of the state.

Patrons in any part of the state can
write to the manager of the central

sale in their section. The central bu-
reau, being in communication with all
sections of the state, is enabled to in
form such parties where there may be
shortage of like articles and place
them i'll communication with parties
desiring the things which they have to

the producers and the consumers in

they then transact their own business
with one another.

She Adopts Protection and Increases
Her Foreign Trade.

Japan has been trying protection and
seems to like It. That country is max
ing great advancement in the ways of
civilization, and naturally wants to
stand among progressive people. To
do so it must develop its own resources,
and this can be done only through
proper encouragement Japan few
years ago discovered that it was buy
ing abroad a large number of articles
which its foremost statesmen and
economists We're satisfied it could pro
duce at home. For instance, in 1898
Japan imported 81 ,474 16S worth of
watches. 1t concluded to try the effect
of higher tariff rates on many products,
believing the result would be to stimu-
late home development. The result has
justified its Judgment. In 1902 it's
imports of watches, for instance, were
but $116,670. 1t had increased the
duty on watches from 5 per cent, the
former rate, to 80 per cent Effect
the Japanese began to manufacture
watches and the importations of those
articles fell off.
But while this has been the case the
general result of the higher tariff has
been to increase not to diminish, ia
pans foreign trade generally. In this
respect, its experience has been strik-
ingly similar to that of the United
States, which under high protection"
has seen it's manufactures attain un-
precedented proportions, surprising
those of any other nation, while its ex-
ports and imports have reached pro-
digious figures. The absurd free trade
contention that protection shuts the
doors of other nations against pro-
tected country has been so often dis
proved of late by the stories from Ger
many and Japan and the remarkable
commercial advance of the United
States that it would seem to be pretty
near time to retire that wornout aSser-
ton.
Japan is increasing both its exports
and its imports, just as the United
States is doing, and the greatest in
crease in each case has been made
since higher protection has been Sc
cured. Here are few figures which
are significant as indicating the drift:
For the first four months of the pres
ent year the imports of Japan were
about $14 100000 in excess of those OF
the same period last year, and the OK
ports were $3,000,000 greater. For the
same four months the imports of the
United States exceeded those of the
like period last year by SAT 100000,
while the exports for the four months
OF 1903 were $54, 100000 more than in
1902. Japan is following the protcc-
ton trail, and it finds in the United

Advertising, reduced to its lowest terms, is
merely asking people for their trade. That's
all there is of it. A business man wants trade
in particular line. If it is a good line,
and if he understands 1t and runs his business
properly, it is only question of asking enough
people and asking them often. In the dull season,
when only comparatively few people are buying
anything, the advertising effort should be in

among thousand people than it is to sell that
much among one hundred people. If there are
