MORE MAPLE SUGAR NEEDED

Wisconsin Farmers in Position to Cometo Help of Country t<j Relieve

Shortage of Beet and CaneProducts.

Madison, Feb. 5.—An effort will bemade to increase the production of ma-ple sugar in Wisconsin to relieve theshortage of beet and cane sugar. Thisis the opinion of W. F Callender, fieldagent for the United States depart-ment of agriculture, who has his officehere. There are many maple grovesin Wisconsin which will he tajifted ifthe season is right, according to Mr.Callender.

"Maple sugar making has not beena commercial enterprise in Wiscon-sin,” states Mr. Callender. ‘Tt hasbeen a family affair. According to thebest data, Wisconsin produces in ayear 27.200 pounds of maple sugar and124,0000 gallons of sirup. The coun-ties which are to increase the supplyare Clark, Langlade and Marathon.The industry has been increasing iuthese counties in recent years. Ver-non, Shawano, Oconto, Pierce andBrown counties make considerablesugar. There are two or three com-mercial jilants in Wisconsin for themanufacture of maple sugar. One isnear Antigo, where there is a sugarhush of 2,000 trees.”

Because of the scarcity and highprice of beet and cane sugar the farm-ers of New York, Vermont, Ohio andother states are planning to go moreextensively into the making of theseproduets than ever before. Accordingto the census report of 1910 there wereproduced in the United States 1.4,000,-200 pounds of maple sugar at an esti-mated value of 15 to 25 cents a pound.For the same year 4,100,418 gallons ofmaple sirup were made, selling from75 cents to 84 a gollon. In 1850 34,-253.430 pounds of sugar were made.

II GERMAN SPIESARE FOUND GUILTY

Rintelen and Aids Convicted ofPlot to Sink Ships.

CAUSED 54.000.C00 DAMAGE

Kaiser's Agents Sentenced to EighteenMonths in the Penitentiary and

Fined $2,000 Had$500,000 Fund.

New York, Feb. o.—Franz Rintelen.German agent, and ten co-eclefemlants,all Germans, were found guilty by afederal jury of conspiring to destroymunition and food ships of the ententeallies.

Each man convicted was sentencedto IS months in the federal prison atAtlanta, Ga., and to pay a fine of $2,-000. This is ihe maximum penalty.

The defendants were characterizedas “murderers at heart*’ by Uni edStates Assistant District AttorneyJames \V. Osborne. Jr., in summing upfor the government. He asked for averdict of guilty, declaring tlie prose-cution had proved its case.

“These men were willing to strike aneutral in the hack in order to proveloyalty to the fatherland.”

Plan Dastardly Crime.Mr. Osborne added : “Let ns assume

that the German government knewnothing about the plot, hut the fact re-mains that these conspirators plannedthis dastardly crime.”

The attorney attacked the defenseof some of the accused that theythought they were making bombs fora legitimate purpose and assertedthat Rintelen Irani opened a hank ac-count for $508,000 in an internationalhank, indicating existence of a fundfor the alleged conspiracy.

# Caused $4,000,000 Loss.United States Judge Howe, in his

charge to the jury, alluded to thepoint brought up by the defense dur-ing the trial that the Kirk Oswaldwas not within the waters of this fed-eral district at the time the bombs wereplaced on hoard. If the jury foundthis point to he well taken, he said,the verdict should he one of “not guiltyfor want of jurisdiction.

The alleged conspiracy involved alsothe shipment of bombs to {lie Pacificcoast to he placed on vessels sailing

for the Orient. In all 8.” ships valuedat more than $4,000,000 were said tohave been damaged.

Had $500,000 Fund.Riutelen’s exploits as an agent of the

German government in this countrywere of the spectacular sort, in whichcash figured in the most conspicuousfashion. Evidence in his trial of near-ly a year ago, which resulted in hisconviction on May 21 and sentence tothe Atlanta prison for one year, showsthat in May of 1015 he deposited morethan half a million dollars in a bank!n New York. From that date on hewas the chief figure in many plots, thechief purposes of which were to dis-rupt the munitions industries by meansof labor disturbances and otherwise.

He did not get very far on the strikepropositions, however, because of theindignant refusal of Samuel Gompers.president of the American Federationof Labor, to have anything to do withwhat evidently was a i ro-German con-spiracy. Other labor leaders with-

j drew from Rintelen's enterprise as| soon as they perceived its real nature.

Rfintelen’s chief plan was to put hisagents to work in the various con-ventions of labor unions, farmers andpacifists.

Leo Moroz, who has been at CampGrant, Rockford, Illinois, for the pasthree months returned home yesterday.Mr. Mroz received an honorable dis-charge from the U. S. service on ac-

count of heart trouble. He has not

yet decided just what he will do. Hismany friends here were all glad to

have him return home.

ONLY ONEDELIVERY

A DAYThe Grand Rapids Delivery Com-

pany has acceeded to the request ofthe State Food Administrator, MagnusSwenson, who was in our city the pastwr eek, and held a conference with saidcompany.

They decided that until further no-tice there would be only one delivery aday, commencing with Monday, Feb.4, 1918, for the delivery of foods andmerchandise to the people of this city.This will release five men for otherwork and as many teams, and stillserve the purposes of the delivery. Thefacts are, that on account of the greatnumber of men enlisting in the gov-ernment service and the further de-mand for horses,, has brought aboutthese changes for the conservation ofunnecessary expense, which is a splen-did move. The housekeepers of thecountry must plan with, and assist thegovernment officials to save in everyway possible to help w r in the war. Thisaction will necessitate that every housekeeper order everything she wants aday ahead. Small bills were distrib-uted with packages and otherwise withthis general information.

When you stop to think about it,this can be done just as favorably asthe old system if the housekeeperswill only plan accordingly. The gov-ernment appears to be favoring thacash and carry plan with all smallparcels. All the stores of the cityhave decided to remain closed all dayon Mondays instead of half a day, tohelp further the conservation move-ment. The housekeepers must alsobear this in mind, and order everythingon Saturday.
