Cornell Paper Mill Will Run Agar

The big paper mill, of the Brunei
been shut down for several months,
will start up again Monday. Only
the paper mill proper will be run
and later if everything goes we'll the
paper box factory will be started.
Supt. c. O. Frisbee says that the
mill will manufacture wall board and
paper boxes and it is planned to
start out with the manufacture OF
wall board In fact wall board will
be the chief output of the mill.
Wall beard, it is said will practi-
calIy revolutiOniZe the cost and con,
struction of buildings 1t will take the
place of plaster. No lathing is nee
essary where it is used. Experiments
show that wall board is cheaper,
warmer, more durable and easier to
put on than plaster 1t will be man
ufactured in rolls with an average
width of eight feet and can be cut
in any desired length.
Wall board is made thick enough
to stand knocks and is not liable to
shrink. Weather conditions have no
effect on it. Mr. Frisbee stated that
it has a hard, smooth finish and is
so substantially made that you can
not, kick a whole through it. The
wall board can be tinted any color,
just the same as plaster In the
southern states it has been used
quite extensively and has given first
class satisfaction
While the mill was closed, experts
have been busy installing certain eX-
ira machines for the manufacture of
the new product. The mill has been
grinding pulp every day and already
enough is on hand to last a long
time. The store room for pulp is
filled with an enormous quantity of
it and men are now piling it outside
and it will be used during the sum-
mer. About one-third of the original
gigantic pile of wood has been used.
The company will not receive any
more wood until the coming sum-
