PRODUCERS PREPARE FOR
THE SUGAR MAKING SEASON
Trees Are To Be Tapped Soon;
Camp Owners Are Now Busy

Farmers in the Grantsville, Bittin-
ger and Ryan's Glade sections of the
county are beginning to busy them
selves in scalding keelers and getting
ready for this seasons run of maple
sugar water. 1t will require about a
week for the preparations necessary in
making the camp ready for actual ac-
tivities. When sugar makers begin to
''tap" their trees it is a sign that the
spring is close at hand.
More than 125 farmers of the coun-
ty engage in this occupation each year
at about this time, which provides a
good source of revenue for them at a
season when other farm work is at a
minimum and cash is scarce with
some of them. 1t also makes much
hard work and long hours for the pro-
ducers. 1t is estimated that the indus
try in the county amounts to around
$4,000 annually and that this figure
has been maintained for half cen
fury or even more.
Some of the larger trees yield pos
sibly as much as S. in revenue each
year. 1t has been definitely established
by forestry authorities that some of
these trees are at least three hundred
years old.
Wholesale buyers of maple sugar
and maple syrup have been in the
Grantsville and other sections of the
county for several weeks contracting
producers. Last year the price on ma
pie syrup in large drums was II, Ii
and 10 cents per pound for first, second
and third grades, respectively. The
price this year appears to be one cent
higher.
Much of the syrup made in Garrett
county is shipped to Vermont and re-
sold under the Vermont label. A large
amount is also shipped to New York
and some of it is purchased by tabacco
companies. Quantities Of it are also
retailed in this area by individuals and
by the Garrett County Maple Products
Association. Members of the latter as
ISOLATION are attempting to create a
demand for the products as a Garrett
County product.
John M. Horchler, who resides near
Grantsville, and is the owner of q
large maple tree grove, is usually the
first to start sugar making and he
stated that he tapped his trees last
Friday and Saturday and that he had
a good run" Monday. Most of the
producers do not tap their trees until
after the middle of February.
Mr.. Horchler has set $500 keelers,
placing from one to three to a tree
and has hauled 120 tons of coal for use
in boiling the syrup. The season usu,
ally lasts six weeks and may run be-
yond Easter this year, as Easter falls
earlier than usual.
Variation in temperature between
day and night is mainly responsible
for the flow of sugar water. Light
SHOWS and slight freezes prolong the
season and are conducive to sweet

THE FOE WITHIN

When our birthright is on barter And our sovereignty is mocked, And the guardians of our statehood AS the outrage sit unshocked; When liberty is challenged,
 And our homes are threatened, too By traitors and conspirators
 What shall our manhood do? Shall we longer bear derision
 And intrigue matched over-sea, And to brazen foes of freedom
 Cringe, and meekly bend the knee? Shall we bow in mute obedience And as slaves lift pleading eyes, Or shall freedoms dauntlesS courage In defiance surging rise? Shall the termites go unchallenged? Shall the truth be balled and chainedP Shall our flresldes be unhallowed And the stars and stripes profaned7 Must America be fettered?
 Must our freedom be struck dead7 Must our venerable Constitution
 Hang tn shame its once proud head7 Or shall tho blood Of our foFefatherS Drive the ingrateS from our doors, And fan tho fires Of independence Tili they blaze along our shores, While our hearthsones and our aliark With the cry of Freedom" ring, And tho arms strong to defend then, To ouf starry emblem cling.

all sorts. Her troubles begin when these things approach the English coast.
 OIL MUST
 COME BY SEA
 Germany has been destroying England's docks, her landing fa- cilities. Since great modern ships need modern warYes and loading machinery, this is a severe loss. It tends to slow up shipping and pro- duce congestion.
 What economic blows Germany has inflicted in Britain by her at- tacks upon British shipping near home, no one knows. Germany, for instance, does not have to dis tribute her sea war over Britain's whole commerce.
 British oil supplies must come by sea, and by concentration on these Hitler might paralyze Britain's resistance in the air. Britain has large oil supplies, par- ticularly of high test gasoline for air uses. But there are no fig- ures on how much of this has been destroyed by German air attacks. Of course England's economic system has suffered already ter- rife blow. It has been literally jared out of gear. Her foreign trade, so essential to her life, has been cruelty wiped out in places and disrupted in others. Her Mediterranean trade is gone. Her eastern trade is shattered.
 NAZI PROBLEM
 A MILITARY ONE
 The war cost is staggering. Bri- tain began the last war with small debit. At its end that debit was $32, 900 ,000,000 She had to begin this one under that load. What ad- ditions have been made to it are still uncertain. The war this year will cost around $14,00O, ,000, 900, and half of that will be met with borrowed money.
 British taxes are crushing. The possibilities of milking the rich are exhausted. The small man is now being ground to the earth. England faces this grave situation courageously. But the economic effects when the war is over will

We hear that all of Nate Evart's great snap turtles have escaped and are now at large. One of those turtles could bite off a leg with one snap, one could derail an automobile or upset truck. These turtles move swiftly and, according to Put Smith. they're hungry since they left Mates. We always told Nate that he should have sold those monsters to Ringing Brothers circus as playmates for that goril- la. Nate said he wanted to keep them until after election because if MT. Willkie should win, the turtle market would go higher.

We've wondered why some movie magnate or gentleman-farme hasn't hired Jack just for the square hay loads he builds. Golf fey could run for Congress and win, just because he's a better haylOader than any man in the district.

omic experts, the test of their tore- casts has not yet been made. There was not the slightest doubt about the great superiority in economic resources of the allied powers. As war approached, that superiority was so great that many economic experts predicted Ger many could not stand year of &C., tive warfare.
 The Russian pact in August. just before the war started, made & change in this opinion neces- sary. The Germans said that pact broke England's blockade. But, as a matter of fact, the Polish campaign lasted but a few weeks and the French drive only a month.
 Germany has not had as yet to go through 8 year of active war; ! fare with its voracious consump- tion of materials. Of the year of war, nine months have been a period of idleneSs and preparation for the German armies.
 TROUBLES BEGIN WHEN
 SHIPS NEAR COAST
 Now the war-with France beaten out of it-has taken on wholly un- expected character. At first ob- servers asked: Can England Starve Germany" But now we see Eng land being subjected to blockade and war upon her economic re- sources. It is now an economic wal but very different in each camp. England has enormous economic resources. Germany's are severe ly limited in important fields England's empire and her great merchant fleet provide her with all she needs. She can get pos session of these essential goods Her problem is to get them into England after she has them. Germany cannot get possession of an unlimited supply of goods But almost all that she can get she I can bring into Germany. Ger many,s warfare on English ships has resulted in the destruction of two million to11s-the Germans say far more. But England says she has more than replaced these losses by new construction, leases and seizure.
 i That is true. She has plenty of ships. She has navy that can protect them right up to the Eng

ALIENS LISTED AS
 BONAFIDE VOTERS
Registration Officials Dis- cover Unusual Condition
 in New Haven

Among the discoveries which have resulted from the program of reg istration of aliens is the disclosure that several aliens have been voting for many years in New Haven, on par with citizens of this country. The authorities are convinced that in the great majority of cases, at any rate, there. has been no wilful attempt to violate the law, but that their voting has been merely the re- suit of ignorance of their actual status, legally.
 The New Haven Register, which made the disclosures, charges that the selectmen, who make all the vot- CTS in the city, are at least as much to blame for this state of affairs as are the aliens themselves Most of the aliens now on the voting lists seem to have been put there some 20 or 30 years ago, when the making of voters was more Slipshod than it | is today. The names of aliens are of course, being taken from the vot- ing lists as quickly as they are dis covered. More than a dozen have been discovered already, and it's seems likely that there are a great many more.
 No further action against any of 1 the aliens who have been voting is contemplated unless there is ,defi- mite indication that it was done in conscious violation of the law, au- thoritieS said.
 As far as is known, no such condi- tion exists in Waterbury. At least. there have been no such reports here as yet.
