body in France was getting disguised
with all wars in general and their pri-

policing the road, was leaning on his
implement of war-a shovel-reflect-
ing on all the disadvantages of being
alive, when a happy doughboy wear
ing three service chevrons passed
singing at the top of his lungs.

FARMERS BEAT MARKET;
WOODS GO INTO BLANKETS

Some farmers Of North Carolina,
assisted by a representative Of the
United States department Of agri-
culture, have found that there are
more ways than one TO dispose of
wool. They are having theirs man
ufactured into blankets and expect
to sell the blankets. About fifteen
thousand pounds Of wool produced in
North Carolina has thus been handled
in this manner. The bottom drop
ped out Of the wool market. Three
wool sales which were TO be held Mt
Washington. Greensboro and Ashe-
willie were abandoned, all due 10 the
fact that there was no market for
IL at prices acceptable 20 the farm
crs. After the sales were cancelled
one large manufacturing company,
with big establishments at Winston
Salem and Elkin. was interested In
the proposition of making up the
wool of the individual farmers into
blankets Later a representative WIS
stationed nc Elkin 10 receive the
wool. Each consignment was weigh
ed. graded and a report made from
The lot This saved the manufac,ur.
ing establishment the necessity Of
advancing cash for wool ON an un-
certain market Many of the farm
crs are now arranging TO place their
blankets on the markets. aud u is
estimated that their wool will aver
age them something like fifty 10
fifty-fiyo cents a pound and in some
eases still more. Wool from the state
experiment station netted approx
matcly seventy-threc cents n pound
and that from state test farm ap.
approximately eighty-four cents the
pound.
