ENJOY FUN OF "SUGARING OFF I" MAPLE AVOODS OF CANADA

l ' fmm iliWi 1HffeJn ifr b H H

Lovers of well-sweetened coffee who suffered curtailment of their usual quota during the recent sugar shortage, are casting about for substitutes against the coming of another sweetless period. A more extensive use of maple sugar is suggested. This suggestion emanates no doubt from sources unacquainted with the limited output of maple sugar, the amount of labor connected with its manufacture and the resultant high cost. Cheap maple sugar or syrup means adulteration. From four to six gallons of sap are required to make one pound of sugar. Three gallons of sap is the average daily yield per tree, or one pound of sugar in two days. The average sugar yield of a maple is

four pounds per year. This requires seven days' work of collecting the sap and many hours of careful cooking before it is ready to be marketed. The result is maple sugar at 27 cents per pound in the shops of the maple districts. The bulk of maple sugar and syrup that finds its way onto our tables today is prepared in prosaic, hygenic factories. The sap is poured into great pans having corrugated bottoms, partitioned off to give a zig-zag course to the sap. These pans are designed with a view to rapid evaporation and economy of fuel. Canada Is the stronghold of the maple sugar industry. It is estimated that 55,000 growers engage in this production and the annual output is placed at two million dol

lars. During the past two months maple woods along the Canadian Pacific Railway in Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia have been filled with sap gatherers. Guests at the Chateau Frontenac in Quebec count it a jolly good treat to visit one of the many maple farms in that section. A thrilling sleighride to Chateau Richer, said to be the best maple farm thereabouts, lands one into the heart of rural Quebec where work is still done in primitive fashion. Here one may watch the syrup boiling in huge kettles over an outdoor fire; sniff the tantalizing aroma; have sips of the delicious brew; munch sugarglasa made by spreading syrup on pans of snow or dipping snowballs into the syrup; and, for a souvenir, carry away cakes of the 'real stuff'.. .

PERSHING ISSUES FIRST COMMUNIQUE

(Br Associated Prss WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, Wed., May 15. The first American official communication issued since the American troops en

tered the fighting line on a permanent basis was Issued tonight. It reports Increased artillery activity northwest of Toul and in Lorraine, as well as the destruction of three German machines by two American aviators. The statement reads: "Six p. m., headquarters American expeditionary forces. Northwest of Toul and in Lorraine, there was a

marked Increase in artillery activity

on both sides. "Today our aviators brought down

three German machines. There is nothing else of importance to report."

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, May 16. Issuance

of official communiques by General Pershing puts into practice the recently announced policy of the war de

partment that all news of the opera

tions of American expeditionary

forces must come , from American

headquarters in France. The daily

communique will supercede a weekly review of military operations by Sec

retary Baker which was discontinued

a fortnight ago.

15,000,000 Francs a Month

from New Tax on Luxuries (By Associated Press.) PARIS, May 15. The new ten per

cent tax on luxuries produced nearly

15,000,000 francs during the first month it was In force.

The ministry of finance expresses

satisfaction over this outcome, as it

was achieved despite the fact that

many persons anticipated payments

for goods in order to avoid the tax,

while many other postponed payments, hoping the tax would be repealed, aa there has been considerable agitation against it. As an additional handicap upon receipts, the month included the Easter holidays, when business was dull.

HANK'S REAL POPULAR IN OLD FRANCE Hank CSowdy, catcher for the Boston Braves during the great world series, and the first National league player to enlist, sends word from France that "the game is all sewed up, and we win." Gowdy's messenger is Private Charles E. Morris, who is among the fifty picked men sent here by General Pershing to boost the Liberty loan. "I saw Hank the day before we left," said Morris. "He was smeared with mud from his soles to his waist, but he was happy, as usual. I don't know where he was going, but he hailed me and said: Tell the fans back home that this is th greatest game in the world. I'm going to knock one clean to Berlin one of these days.' " Morris said that Gowdy is the life of his regiment. "'One of the best 6couts in the service; he's always going out and getting a German," said the returned soldier, and he sings "It's a Long Way to Tipperary" almost as well as any Englishman.

Wabash Baseball Team Defeats Franklin, 10 to 9 FRANKLIN. Ind.. May 16. Wabash college ran true to form here this afternoon, when the Little Giant baseball nine defeated Franklin, 10 to 9, in a game featured by many errors and misplsys; At one stage of the pastime the losers were leading, 9 to 2, but could jiot stand prosperity and allowed Wabash to win out. Pruitt, Coach Thurber's best bet, held the Scarlet in the first rounds, but was jerked in the seventh inning, when five runs crossed the plate. Wabash scored three more runs in the eighth. In the sixth. Kaiser, the boy with the unlucky name, went to the rescue of the Little Giant nine, when he relieved Herker. Stewart hit a home run in the seventh inning. In the last three innings the Scarlet nine played like champs. Harry Geisel of Indianapolis umpired a good game.
