ADDING INSULT TO INJURY
American in Japan Experiences the
Necessity Of Keeping Watch on
His Own Property. M

An American dealer, who was in addi-
tion the actual inventor Of the article
he handled, succeeded in building up a
trade in Japan. After he had adver-
tised his commodity extensively, citi-
zen of Japan registered the trademark
in Toxic. A few days later papers were
served upon the American in suit for
damages for infringement upon trade
mark controlled by a Japanese. says
Harold Bolce, in eff Japan Should VIM"

American. II have infringed no mans
right These are my goods invented
the article, and designed the trade
mark myself and coined the name"
He was finally made to understand
that invention of the article, creation of
the trademark, and ownership of the
goods were minor details. The Japan
csc complainant, who owned no goods.
who had invented nothing, and had de-
signed no trade name or mark, had been
sufficiently alert to register the trade
mark, and was therefore entitled to the
business. q There was nothing for the
inventor to do but to retire from the
field, which he promptly did. leaving his
invention and the, field his advertising
and enterprise had opened to the COM
mercial brigand who had a working
knowledge of Asiatic law.

What the limit will be, and how soon
it will be reached, Miss Carter, OF
course, does not know, and If the sub
ject is giving her any worriment it is
certainly not causing her to lose flesh.
She has an appetite which calls for
three generous meals per day, and the
matter of dieting as means OF reduce
ing her weight has apparently not re-
ceived her serious consideration.
Added to this healthful appetite is q
love for exercise in the open air, and
summer visitors at South Bluehill have
marveled at the vision Of this extrodi-
nary woman indulging in all sorts OF
games with the young folks and bounc-

In order to furnish more definite in
formation about the poultry business
Secretary Wilson recently directed one
of his men to get together all the facts
available regarding the subject. The
results Of this inquiry present some
surprising facts. According to the lat
est available tables, the value Of all
fowls on farms is $S5.794,OOO. About
$l5,0OO,OOO is deducted from this sum
to represent the fowls under the age
of three months, so that the balance
embraces the stock that is kept for
breeding and laying.
The estimated number of chickens
in the country is 250,00000O, produc-
ing for market in one year poultry
worth $136,0O0,O00 and eggs worth
S144 100000, a total value Of about
S28O,0O0,000. This represents an in
come of 40 per cent.
