PACKING FOR MOVING.

Few people know how to take care of
their many books on moving day. For
these the soap boxes one gets at the
grocer's for a Jew cents each are the
best. II is not wise to pack too many
books in a single box, as books are
heavy and awkward to handle. Wrap
each book separately in newspaper and
lay carefully in the box, being sure that
while the books are firmly packed they
are not so tightly wedged in as to cause
any breaking of the edges. Cover the
books with a layer Of the newspaper,
then a folded cloth, and tie a rope
around them to prevent them slipping
out. The very fine editions should be
carefully wrapped in tissue paper and
packed in a box by themselves.
In sorting out the books for packing.
II will be found advisable to pack the
books Of like sizes in one box, and not
try, as many do. to put them in boxes
hit and miss. When you unpack. too,
it will be easier to put them back on

Corn cob and wooden pipes to the
value of $527.269 were manufactured
in 1913 by pipe factories in Washing
ton, Boonville, Bowling Green, Union
and O~wensville, five fiourisling bust

Commissioner John T. Fitzpatrick of
the bureau Of labor statistics in a bull
letin constituting advance informa-
ton from the 1914 Red Book, entitled
"Missourl's Corn Cob Pipe Industry,
1913"
This unique industry is one peculiar
to Missouri. If there are corn cob
pipe factories in any other states they
are very small affairs compared to
those which exist in Missouri cities
just mentioned. Missouri corn cob
pipes are known and smoked the
world over, not alone by poets seek
ing inspiration, but also by capitalists
planning tremendous financial ven
lures; by architects drafting plans for
huge sky scrapers; by authors trying
to turn out society novels which will
startIe the world, and last, but not
least, by laborers who, after a day OF
hard work, are seeking rest, corlforI
and solace.
The seven corn cob and wooden
pipe factories considered in the Fitz-
patrick bulletin gave employment IN
1913 to 1923 men and youths and 81
girls and women, who drew $153,545 in
wages.
Franklin county is the center Of the
corr cob pipe industry. three factories
being found in Washington and the
other in Union.
Missouri corn cob pipes, called the
Missouri "Meerschaum" pipes, are
smoked on the streets of Sidney, Aus

many; Pekin, China; Sitka, Alaska;
st. Petersburg, Russia; London, Eng
land; Paris, France; Cape Town
South Africa; Stockholm, Sweden, and
other cities and towns more remote.
