sap dripped and dropped into the
pail instead of on the ground
Johnnie sat down on a little bank
of snow near the maple tree.
What are you waiting for?" ask
ed Uncle Wiggily, looking back
after starting out of the woods to-
ward his hollow stump bungalow.
I'm waiting for the pail to fill
with sap SO we can boil it into
maple sugar" Johnnie answered,
"Oh, my dear little squirrel
chap" laughed Uncle WISELY. ut
will take two or three days to drip
that pail full, a drop at a time.
Wen come back later"
And when, two days after that,
Uncle Wiggily and Johnnie again
visited the maple tree the pail was
filled with what seemed to be
water. But it tasted slightly sweet
and had a lovely flavor.
Now Wen boil it and boil it,
until it gets real thick, and men,
when it cools, it will be maple
sugar" said Uncle Wigglly. He
and Johnnie built a fire in the
woods and hung the pail of maple
tree sap over the blaze like a gypsy
kettle The sap boiled ana bailed.
81 think it is thick enough now
to make maple wax" said the
bunny.
whats that?" asked Johnnie.
cts maple sugar just before it
becomes hard-it is like molasses
taffy," explained Uncle Wiggily
He dipped some of the hot boil
ing sap out of the pail over the fire
with a big spoon and poured 1t on
clean place in the snow.
when it is cool wen eat it, said
Uncle Wiggily to Johnnie. But Just
then the bad old Skillery Scallery
Alligator, with humps on his tail,
came waddling out of the woods.
"Oh, no! Oh, hum! / smell some
thing good" cried the gator. And
before he could be stopped he be-
began eating the maple wax on the
snow. But he did not eat Tery
much. For it was terribly hot and
it was so sticky that, once he had
maple sugar wax, the gator could
not open his mouth again.
And, oh! You should have heard
MN SuFSIe, SdfBle ana hOW!! he
couldn't speak, because he couldn't
open his mouth, but he iashei his
tail from side to side and ran
away to jump in brook of ice
water.
THAT settles him." said Uncle
Wiggily. Then, when the maple woX
was cool, it wasn't sticky, and the
bunny and Johnnie ate some. and
it was delicious! Then they made
maple sugar candy and that was
better yet, and they gave some 10
all their friends.
So if the whistle on the peanut
wagon doesn't forget to call the
pussy cat to come and help the
puppy dog eat his supper, III tell
YOU next about Uncle Wiggily and
Bobbie Ringtail.

Helen had called in to bid moth

so they had not met But that
afternoon she came in again, this
time to call on Peggy. They liked
each other at once, and Helen as

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
MAPLE SUGAR.

once upon a time as Uncle Wig
gily, the bunny rabbit gentleman
was walking through the woods
with Johnnie Bushytail, the squir-
rel boy. Johnnie suddenly said:
"Why, it's raining!"
And l haven't my umbrella"
cried Uncle Wiggily, holding up his
pink, twinkling nose to see how
hard the drops were falling. But
none came down on his nose, and
none on his ears or tall silk hat.

when we passed that maple tree"
Uncle Wiggily looked back at the
maple tree, under which he and
johnson had just passed. The wind
had broken off one of the larger
branches, and from the broken,
jagged end of this branch some
thing was dripping. like drops Of
rain.
"Oh, the tree is leaking, or cry

NO" said the bunny uncle
THAT is the sap of the tree. 1t

pail we could boil it over a fire"
what good would that do?"
asked Johnnie.
"Why, sap from a maple t!ee,
boiled down, makes maple syrup
and maple sugar" answered Mr..
Longears. Every year, when
spring comes, the sap begins to run
up in the trees. 1t springs up, and
that's why we call the time after

all sap makes maple sugar--oEly

The little squirrel boy was anx-

WALL Street
(By The Associated Press.)

New York, March 7.-During the
first half of todays stock market
session technical considerations
prompted extensive covering by
shorts, but this condition was
sharply reversed when cables from
London indicated rupture in the
indemnity negotiations.
Heavy selling came in the last
hour, cancelling previous gains of

losses of like extent. Liquidation
for both accounts became urgent
on news that the allied forces had
received orders to invade Germany.
Early features of comparative
strength embraced oils, shippings,
steels, equipments, feathers, tobac-
cos and coppers, as well as several
obscure specialties. Rails We're the
only laggards. apart from a moder-
ate demand for coalers. Sales,

Domestic developments over the
weekend ranged from good to bad.
The stronger position of the federal
reserve banks was largely neutra-
lized by January returns of some
more important railway companies,
nearly all of which disclosed heavy
losses in net earnings.
Western and southwestern points
reported further contraction of
business despite. lower commodity
prices. Eastbound railroad traffic
is decidedly under that of last
year.
Call money was in free supply at

Most international bonds held

and industrials eased. Liberty

were moderately better. Total

this.

Play Part in History.
The California islands played part
in the history of the west coast.
Cabrillio, the first European to sail
north of the present Mexican line on
the Pacific coast, discovered them in
1912, died on one of them and was
buried there. Viscaino, another Span
ish explorer, surveyed them in 1902,
gave them their present names and
strengthened SPANS claim on them.
There was no actual occupation Of the
islands until after 1859, when the first
settlement in Alta California was
made at San Diego, on the mainland
near the islands. During the gold rush
of 1849, Catalina was occupied by
United States troops.
"When Mexican independence was
gained, the islands passed with the
mainland from Spanish to Mexican
sovereignty. 1t has been assumed
that, when the United States took title
to California by the treaty Of Quad
aloupe Hidalgo in 1848, the islands
passed with the mainland. They are
not specifically mentioned in the treaty,
and it is probably on this fact that
u Mexican claim would be based"
