MIR. Belue had $1,000 insurance
on his stock Of goods with the
Crooke and $1,000 with the Breck
insurance agencies. SO far as
can be learned this was the only
insurance carried on any OF the
property destroyed. Insurance
men say that the Messrs. Soper
have been urged many times to
take out insurance of their i'm
mense stock of lumber but as the
rate was said to be about 10 per
cent of the value of the property
on account of it being such haz-
ardous risk. they took a chance
and carried the insurance" them
selves.

Lew Baldwin had a close call
while working hard to get out the
fine ladies' dress goods from the
second floor of the Belue store
room. A rear partition came
down in the intense heat and Mr..
Baldwin was almost rendered un-
conscious. A ladder had to be
hastily put up to a window to res
cue him.
This same piece of property was
the scene of a disastrous fire
about 20 years ago, says Mr.
Crooke. At that time there was
a grist mill at the corner of Mail

planning mill on the site of the So
per mill. Al went up in smoke
when the fire broke out. Mr..
Crooke says he seems to recall
having paid out $1,000 or $4,000
insurance at that time.

day and lack of wind is perhaps
all that saved a lot of other pro-
perty in the immediate neighbor-

Secretary Alexander Aware
of "SubtIe" Discrimination
at Kobe.

The American government is in pos
session of reliable reports" of Japanese
procedure at Kobe amounting to dis
elimination against American shipments
to the far east, according to letter
from Secretary Alexander to Chairman
Benson of the Shipping Board. published
in bulletin of the Far East Commercial
Intelligence Service.
Secretary AleXander's letter was in
reply to a communication from Chair
man Benson calling to his attention in
stances of Japanese procedure at Kobe,
in connection with American shipments
to China
Text Of Letter.
II wish to acknowledge with thanks
receipt of your letter of September 10,
referring to instances of japanese pro-
cedure at Kobe in connection with
American shipments to the far east, the
secretary said
This department is we'll aware of
this situation. which. according to re-
Fable reports, has existed for some
years. The nature of the discrimina-
ton is in almost every case SO subtle
notwithstanding it's effectiveness. that
it is almost impossible to take formal
action.
The best solution of the matter
seems to be direct transportation Of
american goods IN American SHIPS
wherever possible"
Chairman Benson's Reply.
In his letter of transmittaI to the
bulletin Chairman Benson said:
"Of course, the suggestion of the
Secretary that American goods be
transported in American ships wherever
possible receives nay hearty Endorsement
and. is the constant aim of the Shipping
Board"
Reports have reached the depart
ment, Secretary Alexander said to-
day, which tend to show that Ameri-
can shipments to Kobe in Japanese
bottoms for transshipment to Chinese
ports have been subjected to delays
and excessive charges for handling
and reshipping. which in some cases
amounted to 200 or 800 per cent more
than the freight originally prepaid.
Japanese procedure at Kobe, for
eign trade experts of the department
explained, has been directed against
goods shipped by other countries. as
well as the United States, in line with
an aggressive policy for the develop
ment of their trade and shipping.

which to solicit trade. Success in
making personal canvass depends
IN large measure on the personality
OF the person making the canvass. He
should be neatly dGssed, should state
his business clearly and concisely
showing the prospective customer whv
direct marketing would be advanta-
geous and, if possible, he should have
samples OF the produce that can be
furnished. AS this method of obtain
ing customers permits the consumer
to see and talk with the producer, a
better understanding is usually effect
ed than if they had never seen each
other.
a man living few miles from Bal
timore, who raised poultry, found it
lmpractlcable to market his poultry
products personally and was not sat
ished with the price he could obtain
locally. He made a personal canvass
of few homes in desirable location
IN Baltimore and obtained four custo-
mers to whom he began sending eggs
by parcel post. Within few weeks
they had recommended the producer
to sufficient number of customers to
purchase all the eggs and poultry the
producer could supply. Customers were
retained by supplying good quality
products and by strict attention to
business relations.
