GOOD RUN SUGAR SAP
Weather Conditions Point to
a Splendid Crop of Maple
Syrup in North Woods.

Oldtime maple syrup makers
claim that conditions now are very
| favorable for a splendid output of
syrup and sugar from the many
camps now in operation in the
| hardwood belt. Those who have
their maple groves tapped claim
the past few days have been sap
days" and if the present weather
conditions hold will produce an
enormous amount of maple syrup
and sugar.
For the past couple springs con-
ditions for the harvesting of
good crop were such that very
little Of the sweetness was manu-
factured-nights and days were
not propitious for good sugar
making and as a result but few
gallons were manufactured. Con-
ditions now show the way for a
big run of sap.
To the fellow who has never
delved into the making of maple
syrup and sugar, we can say he
has lost the one best bet of a
spring vacation. Ordinarily the
man who makes syrup does so in
a haphazard manner and this
evolves a mighty big bunch of
grief before the season finishes.
Most of the makers of syrup fol-
low the old-time method of hand
tapping of trees, hanging of pals
and the carrying of all the sap a
long distance to the watts where
it is boiled down into syrup and
sugar.
Let tenderfoot start carrying
and before night he is a physical
wreck if he happens to strike an
old fashioned camp. A team, or
possibly one horse hitched to a
sled containing a barrel, is the
method used to transport the sap
from the trees in the grove to the
sap pans. With a pail of sap in
each hand the guy must wade
0A1A ONSl1 hllCS-uCCp S11OW, OVSI lOSS
and through brush (being careful
not to spill any of the sap), slip
ping into concealed holes and
standing on one ear while at
tempting to save the sap at cost
of bruises and much cuss-words-
all this is what some consider
"haint we got fun"
But, with the later-day method
of pipe lines from the grove to
the tanks, life in regulated
maple sugar camp is one big plea
sure and the reward at the end of
the day is that of being allowed
to sneak out the syrup from the
bolling-down vat, cool it off in ice
cold water and eat until you are
filled to the brim like a butter
milk congested spotted pup. Here
is where you enjoy life with all
it's emoluments.

2S. And it came to pass about
eight days after these sayings, that
he took with him Peter and John
and James, and went up into the
mountain to pray.
20. And as he was praying, the
fashion of his countenance was al
tered, and his raiment became white
and dazzling. -,
30. And behold, there talked with
him two men, who were Moses and
Elijah;
81. And appeared in glory, ana
spake Of his decease which he was
about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
30. Now Peter and they that were
with him were heavy with sleep; but
when they were fully awake, thcy
saw his glory, and the two 'men
that stood with him.
80. And it came to pass, as they
were parting from him, Peter said
unto Jesus, Master, it is good for
us 20 be here: and let us make
three tabernacles; one for thee, and
one for Moses, and one for Elijah !:
not knoging what he said.
"a. And while he said these things,
there came a cloud. and overshad-
owed them: aud they feared as they
entered into the cloud.
80. And a voice came out of the
cloud, saying, This is my Son, my
chosen: here We him.
36. And when the voice came,
Jesus was found alone. And they
held their peace, and told no man
in those days any of the things which
they had seen.

Much Talked OF

what did you think of Rain? Per-
haps no other question. except when will
it rain has been so much discussed in
Birmingham this week.
DIR. Trevor Mordecai. pastor of the
First Presbyterian church, will answer
the question Sunday night in a sermon
provoked by the appearance of the play
here.
The minister saw presented the pow
erful story of the missionary in the
South Seas who attempted to convert
a harlot after the strictest fashion but
failed because he could not resist her
charms.
Il do not believe in the pulpit an
swering every attack made upon il"
says DIR. Mordecai, "but this is one
time 1 think the rule should be broken.
Rain is too likely to leave wrong i'm
pressions to be passed over lightly"
His morning sermon will be another

of Revelation. The series of discourses
