TABOR AND KURTEN
PLAY BASKETBALL

Tabor, Texas, Nov, "a, 1918.
Prof. Templeton, principal OF kur'
ten school, and Miss Pansy Hall, one
of the assistant teachers, brought
their basket ball boys and girls over
last Saturday, and we enjoyed two IN,
teresting games between them and
Alexander school. The boys played
their game first, the final score being
6 to 3S in favor of Alexander. The
Kurten boys want to play us again,
but want to wait until they have had
some more practice.
AS soon as the boys game was over
the girls played a 10 to IL game IN
Kurten's favor. Alexander girls did
fine work, but several being rather
small, could not reach as high as the
goal throwers they were guarding.
School is progressing nicely, the
children are all interested In their
school work as web as athletics.

Estimates Of Loss from 100000
To 10000 Town Isolated.

Lincoln, n. H, Aug 14.-Fire swept
through the countryside at Wood
stock, today and tonight. practically
destroying the plant of the Woodstock
Lumber Co., with millions of feet of
prepared lumber and burning down a
score buildings, including 10 homes.
Many persons in the dwelling houses
saved their lives only by fording the
Pemigewasset river. So far as could
be learned. at late hour, tonight,
no one was injured seriously
The postofIice was destroyed. but the
mail was saved by the heroism of
Postmaster Arthur Kinsman, who
carried smoking mail sacks over his
shoulders to safety. a box shop
blacksmith shop and stables were
among the other buildings burned.
The flames burned out the telegraph
service. Crippled the telephone wire
blocked roads and bridges-Threaten
ing to burn out the latter-and the
town was almost isolated from the
outside world.
There were no fire fighting faciii-
ties at hand, and lack of communiea
ton hindered securing outside help
more extensive damage, but. late to-
night. the estimates had come down
considerably and varied from $100, 900
to 100000.
The blaze started this afternoon, in the
extensive yards of the lumber company
on the south side of the Pemigewasset
river. Sparks from one company's loco
motives are believed to have caused the
first flame, which had been whipped into
growing fire when it was discovered.
The wind was blowing away from the
center town and the business buildings
were not endangered. The piled lumber
in the yards was ready prey and food
for the flames. however, and the fire
gained great headway. After one or two
shacks in the yards had been licked up
by the blaze the occupants of nearby
houses saw their danger Soon the fire
had eaten its way up to their homes.

the fleeing ones as they moved their

abandoned in the path of the fire in the
rush across the river, over which the
flames later leaped
over a wavering telephone line, word

Gated to Plymouth and to Laeenia, and
pumping engines were dispatched from
each place. With. the assistance of these

was saved. and the 200 men. who had
been marshaled in the efforts to stem the
progress of the fire were able. late to-
night, to control .the flames when had

Much of the property burned was own

Veneer Making.

Veneer is very thin lumber. The
raw material is usually purchased in
logs of random lengths Some are cut
into flitches and in turn sawed into
thin sections called sawed veneer. In
other cases the logs, after being
steamed, are shaved by sharp knives,
This method produces sliced veneer.
Neither of these processes is as extern
sively used as the third, the rotary
eut, although for centain purposes
hey are of Importance. The struc-
ure of the wood. the size of the logs
md the use for which the veneer Is
designed largely determine the pro-
eess employed. Some foreign woods
he conifers, for instance-often pro-
luce the best veneer when sawed,
while for other woods the slicing
method is preferred. Where the pro-
luct is for fine exterior finish and has
. be selected and matched according
10 the figure or grain, saving is the
,aVorite method. Together these pro-
esses were employed to make approx
mately two-thirds of the white oak
product and about one-half of that
rom mahogany and other foreign
woods. but only one-eighth of the out
put from domestic woods. The re-
nainder was manufactured by the ro-
AIRY cut process. This method is SIM
lar in principle to the slicing process.
The log, after being steamed, is re-
voived against q fixed knife the length
If the log, and wide sheets are shaved
off. Though the domestic and cheap
yeneers are generally made by this
nethod, the fact must not be lost
e iy,t tl,o Of a,
veneer. the rotary cut process was
used equally with the other two meth
DDS for cutting ornamental veneer
rom both foreign and domestic woods
Neneers are cut into a number of
.hicknesses. The domestic woods, ro
tary cut. range from five-sixteenths to
,ne- fiftieth of an inch, and the impor-
ted woods from hree-sixteenths to
ne-thirty-fourth. The three-six-
teenths is the most popular size. fol-
lowed by one eighth, one-fourth, one
sixteenth, fixe- -siXteenths and one
twentieth. In the sawed and Sliced
products the thickest veneer is five
sixteenths. The thicknesses most
used were one-twentieth, one-siX-
teenth, five-sixteenths, one-fourth ana
one-thirtieth, in the order named.
Red gum, white oak, yellow pine,
cottonwood. maple, yellow poplar,
birch, tupelo, elm. beech, Eastwood,
red oak, spruce, Douglas fir, hemlock'
walnut, ash, sycamore and chestnut
IRE the principal domestic woods that
are used for veneer. The most impor-
tant imported woods used for veneer
are: Spanish cedar, mahogany, CIR
cassian walnut, japanese oak, rose
wood, padouk, satinwood, jnana costa,
boxwood jenicero. English oak, ebony
and teak.
The veneer industry is fairly widely
distributed, being reported from 80
states. The greatest production is in
the central hardwood region In the
order of their importance. the seven
principal veneer producing states are
Arkansas. Michigan. Wisconsin, Hi
nois, Kentucky, Indians and Missouri.
