Japanese Sea Trade.

The forwardness of Japan as a com petitor for sea trade is proved by the estimate made in that country that the earnings of the, Japanese shipping in dustry from foreign sources in 1920 amounted to 20OOOO,O0O yen, or, rough ly, about S100,000,00. The principal items that go to make up this amount are freight charges, charter money and payments for vessels sold.
 On the other hand, the depression that has recently hung like pail oyer shipping in all parts of the world is plainly evidenced by the fact that the Japanese earnings in 1920 were less by 90,000,00O yen than those of 1919 and that the first half of 1920 showed earnings nearly double those for the second half.
 In order to meet future competition Japan has been taking steps to cut the costs of ship production and opera tion. Announcements that Japanese

MYSTIC

The old house at the junction of the roads from Mystic and Quiambaug to the pumping station was destroyed by fire Thursday about noon. The fire was dis covered by Timothy Downey, who is em- ployed on the Rathbun farm, and he was returning from Mystic. He hastened to spread the alarm and several men re- sponded and did what they could to save the house but the fire gained too much headway to be checked with the limited facilities at hand for fighting fire Most Of the furnishings were saved however, and the loss was partly covered by in- surance It is thought that the fire started from defective f1ue. The house was occupied by Horace Dewey, who was not at home at the time. The house was owned by George I. Wilcox of Mys- tic. This house was built by Oliver eighty years ago and was familiarly known as the Gate House" as a toll gate was located there for many years. It was a landmark in this section and will be missed by the older resident hereabouts
