Public School Opens.
It has often been said that the
enrollment at the public schools
from year to year is a good ba
rometer as to the increase in the
population of the town. ; With
an increase of 50 over that of
last year at the opening, a total
enrollment of 520 Monday and
so many in the hop fields, it cerT
tainly indicates a rapid growth
in the town.
Notwithstanding the loard
has made numerous changes to
provide for the increase in at
tendance, every room is crowded
to its full capacity, and many
more children will" be added to
the roll &s soon as the busy sea- j
son. is over.
- - Already the demand is made
foran additional teacher for the
high "school and from present
indications more teachers will
be ,necesary in, other depart
ments. - The board has found it
necessarv to reauestall children
to remain away from the school
grounds until o:40 a. m. -
Superintendent Fulkerson is
very much -pleased with the
prosperous condition of the Cor
valiis schools and the earnest
efforts of the citizens to make it
pleasant for everyone.

Albany, Or., Sept. 21, (Spec-J
ial) Albany & : public schools
opened today . with an increased
attendance. As has been the

school from one to two weeks
late. The enrollment today was
625, which is 40 more than the
first day last year. The average
attendance last i-y ear was 830,
and indications are that it will
reach over 900 this year. . The
High School started this morn
ing with an enrollment of 125,
with many more to enter later.
There are almost 50 in the fresh

Wher Clothespin Com From.
: Tucked away in the northeast corner
of Maine is a good sized town where
the people make their living from
clothespins and pail handles. Some of
ob may have wondered, where all the
clothespins come from which are used
by the housewives throughout the coun
try on wash day. This Maine town
makes more clothespins- than any other
place in the world, while the bulk of
the wooden handles which' are strung
on the wire bales by which we carry
pails and other receptacles also come
from Bryant Pond, the' name of the
Yankee community. ' . :
The first process in . the manofacture
of the clothespins or pail handles is to
saw the logs into lengths of about two
a&d one-half feet each. These lengths
are rapidly tspHt . by .soother saw into
thin slabs, which are to turn converted
I toto long square strips by gang saws.

volving drum, which bears them against
still other saws-and tarns them out in
the form of oblong- blocks. .Falling
upon a moving belt, '.the blocks are
whirled' away to a number of lathes.' v
'If the blocks are to become pail han
dles they are bored tn a inost ingenious
fashion .on . lathes rqnning ,at a high
rateof speed. If they are destined for,
clothespins they are simply turned into
the desired shape. ,
' From the lathes "a elt conveys the
clothespins to a slotter," which rapid
ly tuts the slot:' the pins emerge with
two symmetrical legs, and are swiftly
borne by still a third belt to the upper
floor.'
How to Choose Poultry.
It Is most important that poultry
should be fresh, and this condition can
be Judged by the sweet smell and also
by the absence of ' moisture on the
outside skin.- The prim en ess of the
