making the total sales OF Honduras
l25.OOO sacks, or 100000 bushels,
This practically cleans up the stock
of rough Honduras rices in the Irst
hands in Arkansas.
When IL is remembered that Ar.
kansas produces the best Honduras
rice in the world and that the other
sections of the United States suffered
severe loss on their crop Of Honduras,
it is evident that the buyers OF this
rice will make a nice profit. while at
the price sold the producer has also
received a good price for his cereal.
The association came into this state
about five years ago and has covered
the entire rice.growing section, hay-
ing a large per cent Of the rice plant
ers as members Of their association.
1t stands for stability Of the rice
market, rather than extreme prices,
though this price will net the farmers
a fair return for their labor and IN

the new trade slogan, Made IN the
U. S. A." will have direct bearing
in shifting the center Of doll manufas-
ture from Europe to America.
The following toys are now made
In this country from American woods:
Toy animals, blocks, cannon and forts,
children's chair, circus sets, dolls, doll
furniture, games, Christmas tree hold
ers, swing Jumpers, childrens pianos.
pastry sets, babies play yards, toy
shooting galleries, hobby horses, pop
guns, toy wagons, toy autos and wheel

material for wooden toys and for
wooden parts Of metal toys. The bass
wood doll, in particular, Is unique and
ingenious. All parts Of it are made
Of wood and are artistically carved
and enameled In color. It is difficult
to tell that It is made of wood when 1t

body are joined with steel bands which
not only give great fexibility and free

Next to Eastwood, sugar maple,
beech, birch and white pine are the
principal woods used for toys al
though elm, oak, chestnut, ash, vel
low poplar and others enter into toy
manufacture. Pennsylvania, which
stands first among the states in toy
manufacture, alone uses the equivalent
Of nearly 6,500,OO0 board feet Of tim
Der for toys, with total value OF
$4,000 each year. The total amount
Of wood used annually In the United
States for toy manufacture is nearly
20 900, 900 feet, and the principal toy
manufacturing states after Pennsyl'
vania are, In order, Wisconsin. Maine,
Michigan, New York, Ohio, Vermont,
Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
Eastwood Is the favorite for such
toys as toy animals, boats, dolls, circus
sets and children's pianos. Blocks and
