SAP RUNNING FREELY. Favorite outdoor sport just now is tapping sugar maples. Trees are located in many Waterloo yards and much sap has been gathered this spring. Much of the sweet fluid is being absorbed by children, except in cases where the old-fashioned cook stove is available as a sugar refinery. One ties on the premises occupied by the J. C. Murtagh family has yielded 10 gallons of sap.
