income and as a means Of providing
more sweets, is advocated by Frank

Much more maple sugar can be OBJ
tanned in this state than in past
years. he declares Discussing the
subject he says;
Indiana utilities a small percent
Of the maple trees in the state-for
the production of maple syrup and
maple sugar Comparatively few
sugar camps have been run during
the past ten years. There should
be a revival of the old habit this
coming spring. Cane sugar acreage
cannot be increased. Every possible
means of increasing sugar produce
ton should be used.
There were many new evaporat-
ing cans set up this fall for the pro-
duction of sOrgum and these could
he run next spring for the evapora-
'tion of sugar water where il would
not pay to erect a separate camp.
Buckets often can be purchased
cheaper during winter sales than
when the demand is heavy.
Get ready this winter 10 utilize
every available tree on your farm.
and if there are sugar tree groves on
ground near you, owned by nom
residents. get permission TO tap
them. II is not injurious to the trees
and there should be no objection 10

Sections 2i81 and 2i86 of the
Revised Codes of Idaho, relating
to city elections, were amended
by the last session of the legis-
lature, the amendments changing
the procedure of election consid-
erably. COuncilmen from each

entire body of electors of the city
instead of only the electors of
their various wards as formerly.
THE qualification of the council
men are the same, namely, that
the ward from which they are
they shall be electors residing in
the ward from which they are
chosen but every elector in the
city has a voice in choosing the
councilmen from all wards.
The amendment to Section
2i96 provides that the city treas
urer and city engineer shall be
appointed by the mayor, subject
to the consent of the council, in
stead of being elected as hereto
fore. 1t also provides that the
mayor may appoint a city band
master, a police judge, a chief of
lpolice and overseer of the streets.
The council may provide by or
dinance that the city clerk. who
is elected as formerly, shall be
ex-of1iciO police judge. An emer-
gency clause was incorporated in
the bill, which provided the law
should go into effect Immediately
upon its passage and approval.
It will therefore be in force at
the coming city election.
