This is Urged BY State Forester W.
T. Cox In Statement
st. Paul, Mimi, March 22.-Min-
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch.l
nesota farmers residing in the
hardwood timber belts throughout
the state are urged by w. T. Cox,
state forester, to tap the maple trees
for sap and thereby develop DOR
-mant industry for the state which
would result In thousands of dollars
profit.
Minnesota, with its extensive
stands of maple timber scattered
throughout the entire state, is los
ing thousands Of dollars annually
because the farmers and settlers do
not avail themselves Of the oppor-
blnities~of sugar making.
The state forester condemns the
use Of this valuable tree for fire
wood purposes, and urges that
farmers throughout the state who
have maple timber stands should
tap the trees annually for the sap
and sell the syrup.
Minnesota now produces annually
about 1000 gallons of SYRUP of its
equivalent, but according to Mr.. Cox
this amount is not more than one
per cent Of the supply that could be
obtained from the maple trees
growing in the state.

Mankato dancing master, won the
first round in his fight with the au-
thorities on the charge of arson.
and the alleged burning of a cottage
at Fox Lake. Mr.. Rockvam had
been indicted on two counts citing
arson, but on the contention Of the
attorney for the defense, Judge
Evan Hughes of Mankato, both in
dictments we're dismissed by Judge
e c. Dean. Judge Evan Hughes
held that the indictments were not
properly made out, in that they did
not give the names Of the persons
who were supposed to own the pro-
perry upon which the attempt Of
arson is alleged to have been made,
and did not give the name of the
insurance company, which you'd
have been defrauded if the insur-
ance were collected Upon these
omissions, Judge Hughes made a
motion for dismissal OF the inlet
ments, which was done by Judge E.
c. Dean.
Immediately follow ing the dis
missal Of the indictments by Judge
Dean, County attorney Paul Cooper,
caused the arrest of the defendant
on the charge Of arson, and he was
placed under $1,000 bonds for his

Schultz of this city has invented
what is probably as close to being
perpetual motion" machine as any
yet produced. In recent test the
machine ran without interruption
Tor eight consecutive hours. Al
though the model is small, Mr..
Schultz hitched it onto a nat iron
and the machine raised and lowered
the iron without slackening speed.
The fact that the machine does
not have to be started by hand is
a feature Mr. Schultz claims no one
else has perfected. All you have
got to do is to release catch and
it starts" said Mr.. Schultz. ut VIII
never stop, unless you forcibfy stop
1t. When you let go Of the wheels,
It starts again"
Mr. Schultz says he does not
doubt but what the machine will
keen running till it is worn out,
and that IL he had it patented, he
would bring it up town for public
inspection. The patent ONCE at
Washington has written to Mr..
Schultz asking him to forward the
model, but he is wary OF letting
it go out OF, his possession.
Mr.. Schultz today received word
from Washington that his Schultz
Nom SCOT Stove lid" was patentable
and Immediately completed an ap-
pIication for patent. The lid pre-
vents SCOT from gathering on the
bottoms OF kettles and pans in ad-
dition to giving greater heat in less

Automobile accident insurance

statutes and court reports are far
from replete on enlightenment as

Travis, state superintendent OF in

collision clauses in auto insurance
policies.
I'VE have to get out the old die
tionary and interpret the law as
we see il" said Sam Carroll, in
surance department attorney.
Two Of the most interesting cas-
es that have been carried to the in
surance department for decision
were one in which an enaged bull
attacked car painted bright red,
and another IN which a $4,000 motor
car came off second best in bout
with game cock. In each of these
cases the opinion of the insurance
department was in favor Of the car
owner. It was a collision. Likewise.
