QUEBEC, P. Q.-The sap is run
nlng in the sugar naples. Farmers
throughout eastern Canada are tap
ping their trees. Soon the world will
begin its annual banquet on the crisp
brown sugar and griddle cakes
smothered in maple syrup.
The maple sugar industry in Can
ada is confined to Quebec, Ontario,
Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick.
Quebec produced last year 70 per
cent Of the total output. Its yield
was 100000 pounds valued at
100000
Sugar making is an important
source of farm revenues. Sugar
farms contain from 600 to 1000
trees. some as many as 1000. Six
teen quarts of sap make one pound
of sugar. Maple sugar sold last year
at 20 cents pourd and syrup at
PA a gallon. In view of the world
shortage of sugar, the prices this
year are expected to be higher.
Making sugar from maple sap was
practiced by the Indians long before
the white man came Maple sugar

The greatest trouble that we see.
today is the. great extravaganza and
lack of economy and the waste Of

If you really are in earnest in an
effort to bring down the price OF
clothes and to stop profteering, do
without and wear the old clothes, and
do without a great many things that
you now imagine you can not, and
you will find that the more you do

the more you give the more will be,

We are glad to see that Gov
Cooper was bold enough ia his speech
at the South Carolina dinner in Wash
ington the other evening to say that
he thought it was time to abolish
some of the amendments to the con-
stitution and get back to the consti-
tuition of the fathers. We have been
travelling too fast for many years to-
ward great centralized government
at Washington, and it is getting time
for some one whose voice will be
heard to sound the note of warming,
if our institutions are to stand and
our government to be perpetuated.
We have been saying so for good
while. The sovereignty Of the States
has already been pretty nearly sur
rendered, and it is time for some one
to call halt and some one who can
make himself heard.

Why we could do without sugar.
We did do it once not so many years
ago, certainly within the memory of
some people who are living now. One
of the hardest things to do without
would be salt. We remember once
hearing a lecture by DR.. Steel on the
Confederacy and he said that one of
the most distressing announcements
that was made at the close of the war
of the sixties and during 'reconstruc-
ton, was that the salt is out, and he
told how the dirt in the old smoke
houses was dug up and the salt drip

making fye from ashes in, order to
make soap. And by the way, you

No Raise In Car Fares.


A conference or officials OF the
Southern Public Utilities company
from Charlotte, Winston-Salem, Green
VILE and Anderson was held at the OIL
flca of President 2. V. Taylor in Char
lotte recently. The conference was
for the purpose OF discussing further
possible economics in operation
whereby the company, 1t was an
nounced, hopes to avoid the necessity
for asking for an increase in car fares'
Il has been a matter OF general
knowledge for sometime that the
Southern Public Utilities company
was contemplating an application for
an increase in car fare from seven TO
eight cents to take care Of increased
operating expenses, including an IN
crease effective September l in tho
schedule of wages paid to street car
men.
President Taylor stated that the
company had delayed making applica'
ton in the hope that there would be
such a decline in the cost of material
and supplies as would enable the
company to continue operation at
present fares. While there has not
as vet been any decline in prices OF
street railway supplies the recent de-
cline in prices of commodities in gen.
eral has stimulated this hope, and at
the conference this hope was further
strengthened.
