School Notes.

In reply to question as to the standing of the Hinemon Uni versity School in the University of Arkansas, Prof. J. II. Reynolds has this to say, your school is al- ready on our list and we regard it as one of the very best schools that we have. " This shows the high standing we have with other colleges and universities which is worth much to pupils who finish here and then go elsewhere to take their higher college education.

Home of TOOthpicks.

According to an official OF the
Department Of Commerce and Labor
few persons have any idea of the
enormous quantity of wooden tooth
picks annually turned out by factories
In the United States. The number
of these is beyond calculation thous-
ands OF millions each year. Besides
NOSE manufactured In this country
toothplcks in incredible numbers are
imported, principally from Japan. Por-
tugal and Italy, but by far the great
er number used In the United States
are furnished by home factories.
The State OF Maine furnishes most
of them. It is in that State that
white birch, of which the greater
proportion of domestic toothpicks Is
made, is found most in abundance.
The wood in question is preferred
for this purpose because OF It's soft
ness and pllability, which afford Just
the amount Of resistance requisite
for a toothpick. In Maine there are
numerous mills, equipped with costly
and intricate machinery, whose entire
industry It is to supply the United
States with toothplcks. And the In
dustry Is a most profitable one,
Although 1t Is said the State Of
Maine possesses what Is practically
monopoly of toothpick manufacture,
there are other mills notably in Yer
mont, New York and Massachusetts,.
White birch is not the only wood
used, maple and poplar as well being
employed, but as birch has the de-
sirable quality of retaining its forest
odor and sweetness It has the pref
erence over all other woods.
The Telling of trees to be split into
toothpicks forms, Of course, merely
an incidental part Of the regular
work of the Maine foresters. Though
no especial gangs are told off to
select suitable trees, the foreman
will mark tree that seems adapted
for the making of toothplcks, order
II cut down and put aside. The
branches are trimmed off. Then the
bark is skinned and the naked trunk
is run through a machine that sewers
1t into yeneers. "veneers" being the
technical term for thin strips Of
WOOD no til. thicker than piece q
blottlng paper and no wider than
the length. Of a tocthGsck- ,.,.,. ....,,,.
When the trunk has been cut into
these sheets of wood only one other
process remains-to turn out the
toothpiclzs fit for packing and chip
ping to market The veneers are
fed into q second machine supplied
with sharp, rotary knives that whirl
at a high speed, shipping the veneers
into toothpicks at the rate Of hun
dreds Of thousands an hour.
