FISHERIES OF JAPAN.

: In Many Respects They Take First
Rank Over Those of Other Nations.
The fisheries of Japan are less valu-
able than those Of several other coun-
tries, but they take first rank over
those Of all other nations ~ in the
actual number of people making live
hhood thereby; e. In the relative num-
Der Of persons engaged in and depend
ent on the industry; g. In the quaint
r ty Of products taken annually from
the water; ~ In the relative impor-
lance Of fishery products in the domes-
tic economy; ~ In the ingenuity and
skill shown by the people in devising
and using fishing appliances and pre-
pairing the catch for use; g. in the ex-
tent to which all kinds of water prod
ucts are utilized: 70 in the extent to
which the fisheries Of foreign countries
have been studied and the best meth
DDS adapted to home conditions; (S) in
the extent to which agriculture has
been carried: o. In the zeal and intelli-
gence displayed by the government in
promoting the development of the fish
cries and the welfare of the fishing
population.
From the earliest times down to the
present day, fishing has supplied the
staple animal foods and large por-
ton Of the vegetable and mineral
foods consumed in Japan, and none Of
the other great powers is now so de-
pendent on the water for subsistence
So important are water products and
30 namerous are their kinds and the
methods Of preparation, that venture
the assertion, from what have seen
Of domestic lite In Japan, that every
day III every Japanese family some
form Of fishery food Is served-T am
almost ready to say st every meal.
The japanese fishermen as a class
are hardy, skiilfui, energetic, sober,
sdlf-reliant, to which qualities lie super
added spirit Of intense bravery and
patriotism. which makes them inyalu-
able, indeed Indispensable, In the crisis
through which Japan is now passing,
With Ingenuity ana deftness which Il
seems to me, are unsurpassed by any
other people, the Japanese have da.
yised apparatus and developed meth.
ods which centuries ago brought their
fisheries to d very high degree of eff
fectiveness; but not content with this,
they have within our own time super

posed to the air of dirty stall.
A branch Of the fisheries in which
Japan far surpasses all other coun-
tries as regards both extent and in.
genuity Of method Is the seaweed in
dustry. In the United States, notwith-
standing our long coast line and sea-
weed resources, not inferior to Japan's.
the annual crop of marine vegetables
Is worth only $4,000, whereas in Ia
pan these products are worth not less
than $2,000,O0O, and are exceeded in
value by only four animal products
OF the fisheries. Many kinds of algae
are gathered and many uses are made
OF them. The local consumption is
enormous, and large quantities Of pre-
pared seaweeds are exported to China,
Europe and elsewhere.-Hugh M,

ylTThere are q few essential points that
are Important In deciding upon how to
so about 1t right. .lsr~ss .s..,.... ...r.
o. First: Never advertise an article
the people don't want.
Second: Never adv rtise an article
that hasn't the merit to give satiSfac-
ton and to command the friendship
and enthusiasmcof every purchaser. Isl
Third: Find out just what class Of
people will buy your goods. Don't
try to sell agricultural implements to
bank clerks, adding machines to ditch
'diggers or books on theology to race
track devotees.
Fourth: Try to approximate the to-
tai sales possible in your line, and then
adjust your advertising to get the full
benefit, ai@a& Is sAa 4a.yUiaaI Lsu

goods. 10Y A@-'"' Ef 5"" ".-aJ
q Sixth: Carefully prepare your ads
so as to attract and interest the class

Seventh: Carefully arrange your
campaign 30: as to secure the maxi
mum Of publicity and effectiveness,
with the minimum of expense. There's
no use in buying half pages that won't

Ninth: Make your advertising a con

but it doesn't work In selling goods

u The decrease In the visible supply of
farm labor IL worth more than passing
notice now that Eastern States have
added their complaint to the advertise
lnent of Kansas and Louisiana for men
who are willing to work with their
hands. The one consideration not
touched upon Is most necessary, that
Of remuneration. Therein lies the solu,
ton, In part at least of the problem.
When the farmer In Kansas or any
other State can, afford to employ a la
borer throughout the year at wages
THAT will meet the competition Of the
city there will be no reason for him to
complain Of scarcity Of men. The
country affords many advantages even
to the city-bred man, but he cannot af-
ford to i've without some assurance Of
steady employment. While he may
have the necessaries of life he has
been accustomed to something more
and the country must provide them.
Perhaps 1t would be better for the
farmer to keep his son at home rather
than allow him to. seek the city, where
he often finds employment no better
than he had on his fathers form. 1t
has been demonstrated that the. farm
lisa good place for the boy, and equally
good for the man, while the constant
extension Of the comforts and luxurles
to the farm, home greatly increases the
opportunities for advancement over
those Of even a few years ago a thor.

bned with a knowledge of what the
city has to offer the young man of to,

GAME. OF CHANCE OR sKlLL,
Why Poker Was Declared TO Be the
Latter by Missouri Jury. 81

why EVAST was declared TO BE the
Latter by a Missouri Jury. ~
It is not merely In the United States
that politics makes strange bedfeilOvg
and necessftates curious decisions
Even in the Duchy OF 0ldeHbars Il q
has become necessary to decide that
poker is not game of chance. This
decision was requisite to convict Ger
tain editors Of libels. They said that
the Minister OF Justice, Mr.. RuhstFatt,
was gambler or participated in games
Of chance. Mr.. Ruhstratt stated that
he had eschewed roulette, but admit.
ted that he played poker. So he sWors
in effect that poker is not a game Of
chance. The editors were convicted Of
libel, but are not yet satisfied that
poker is purely a game of SKILL 9+ q "a
1t is not at all surprising that this
question should be treated in Europe
as still an open One-res integra, as
the lawyers sometimes say AT all
