ON SUGAR SALE
Food Administration Statistics
Show Vast Supplies That Will
Be Available.
CAN NOW MAKE SHIPMENTS
Ending of War Releases Large Ac-
cumulations-I.Ot 100000 Tons
Above Normal.

Sugar regulations in the opinion
of NJ 0. GriswOld, local food ad-
ministrator. will be lifted before
many weeks have passed. allowing
the purchase of sugar in any
amount
Food administration statistics
show an unprecedented world sup
ply of sugar that will amount TO
1000 900 tons more than the supply
in normal times.
This accumulation was brought
about by the storing of sugar in
countries that could not make ship
ments during the war. India is
said to have a three years accumu-
lation.
Now that the great world con-
1ict is over the vast supplies of SUI
gar will be released for world
trade. At present but three pounds
are allowed per person month IN
this community. but a larger allOt-
ment probably will be put into eff
feet within a short period. After
this takes place it is believed that
the sugar situation will improve
bv leaps and bounds, ending only
when the consumer has purchased
sugar to fill every desire.
Regulation Necessary.
Regulation during war time
was Of the utmost importance
when supplies from other countries
could not be obtained, but now as
vast quantities are available, all
-o,tDtriaS will he able TO obtain
larger amounts than ever.

soon as it became crumbly it would
be poured into earthern dishes or
moulds.
Neighbor boys would drop in occa-
sionally with their dogs, or the neigh
borhood story-teller would visit the
camp and reel off a few hair-raising
Indian stories or tell of the old man
who was murdered in his sugar house
and spin a ghost story or two by way
of variety.
AS long as the crowd was present
these we're all right, but when all
had gone and the boy had been left
alone, the shadows would begin to
take on the forms of skulking In
dians, sneaking murderers and ghost
ly figures. Even the dog would cud-
die up close to him, and he wouldn't
object. You may depend upon it the
kettles were kept full and bubbling.
With only one more barrel to boil he
would turn his eyes towards the fire,
and strive to keep the shadows out
Of sight, and the ghostly figures out
of mind
The boyhood joys of "sugaring off"
will never come again, but with the
first sunny days of spring when the
frogs begin to croak, tile sluggish
blood begins to stir in world-weary
veins like the sap stirring in the dry
old tree trunks, and the mind goes
back to the days of youth when max
ing maple sugar was an annual gala
time.

strange sounds would come from
dark hooks, and ghost stories, long
since forgotten would break in on
his mind in spite of his whistling or
singing.
And how busy he would become
skimming the froth from the kettles
and dipping the boiling water from
one to the other until it reached the
one in which the richer syrup was
being carefully watched to Keep it
from being scorched. Knowing that
bite or two of something good to
eat has a cheering effect, the boy
would get out a good-sized chunk of
home-cured ham and numerous slices
Of bread. Thus would boy and dog
feast until full, but the shadows and
sounds would remain in spite of all.
But ;stirring-off' time must come
sooner or later. This was usually q
daylight job and fell to the women
folks. The accumulated syrup, about
as thick as the maple syrup we buy
in these times, but much too thin to
rank as handmade maple molasses,
would be carefully strained through
linen cloths and placed in the biggest
kettle to avoid scorching, and al
lowed to simmer and bubble as it ap-
preached the sugar state.
With an iron spoon or wooden pad
die samples would be taken from the
kettle every few minutes, cooled and
tasted. First the rich syrup, then
the thin wax then taffy, then sugar.

Just Between Ourselves
Did YOU ever tend sugar camp?

Did you ever tend sugar camp?
This is a delight the younger gem
Grafton of Oregon knows little or
nothing about, but there are many
among us gray-heads who hail orig
inally from back east" who can
readily recall certain pleasures, la
bors and trials peculiar to the sugar
camp alone. Especially do these
spring days of warm sunshine follow
ing sharp frosty nights recall to mem
ory the "sugar-weather" days of long
ago.
Don't you remember? The first
bright morning all hands would be
astir early, and, armed with augurs
and spiles, the work of tapping the
trees would begin. Two spiles to the
tree on the sunny side. And how the
water would squirt out, running in
continuous streams at first, and then
dropping steadily until IN rev
hours the troughs would be filled.
Then came the laborious part The
water had to be gathered in buckets
and carried to the sugar house,
where a tight barrel or two stood
ready to receive it.
But then, it wasn't all work, nor
yet play; but lots of real enjoyment.
AS darkness settled over the camp
and fires began to glow and throw
dancing shadows over the trees and
logs and underbrush, the boy on the
night turn would settle down to tend
the fires and rest, having plenty of
wood chopped and the water all gath
cred. If left alone, as was often the
case, his only companions were his
dog and the weird shadows chasing
each other through the woods and
out beyond the wall of darkness.
And as the quiet became more acute,

TO ART evaporates rapidly and is
dangerous.
4. Don't use gasoline for cleaning
and washing-use kerosene or other
materials to cut grease.
5. Stop all gasoline leakage.
Form habit of shutting off gas at
tank or feed pipe.
6. Adjust brake bands so they do
not drag. See that all bearings run
freely.
I. Don't let the engine run wheA
car is standing. 1t is good for start
er battery to be used frequently.
s. Have carburetors adjusted at
service stations of carburetor or au-
tomobie companies. They will make
ordinary adjustments without
charge.
8. Keep needle valve clean and
adjust carburetor (while engine is
hot to use as lean a mixture as pos
sible.
10. Pre-heat air entering carbu-
rotor and keep radiator covered in
cold weather. This will insure bet
ter evaporation.
IL. See that spark is timed cor
rectly with engine and drive with
spark fully advanced. A late spark
increases gas consumption,
II. Have hot spark. Keep
plugs clean and spark points properly
adjusted.
19. Avoid high speed. The aver
age car is most economical at Is to
20 miles an hour.
IA. Don't, accelerate and stop
quickly-it wastes gas and wears out
tires. Stop engine and coast long
hills.
Is. Cut down aimless and need
less use of car. DO number of err
rands in one trip.
16. Know your mileage per gal
lon. Fill tank full and divide odom-
eter mileage by gallons consumed.

STANDARD TELLS HOW
TO SAVE MORE GAS

The Ashland office Of the Standard
Oil Company has recently received
list of suggestions on methods to
save more gasoline. These sugges-
tions are recommended by the Ma
tional Automobile Chamber of Com
merce. The rules not only save more
gas, but users of motor vehicles will
be benefited personally and individ-
ually through more efficient and
more economical operation of cars.
Here are the rules:
1. Store gasoline in underground
steel tanks.
2. Use measuring pump and hose.
They prevent loss by fire, evapora-
tion and spilling.
3. Don't spill or expose gasoline
