VIRGIN WOOL is
STORED, WHILE
SHODDY is USED

The reader will be able to learn
how the profitcers are gouging the
consumers of this county by their
manipulation of wool and wooden man
ufactured goods from other than a
labor paper. The following article
is from The Apparel Criterion, Pa
cific Northwest dry goods and APP
parel trade journal, published in Sc
attic:
Half billion pounds of shoddy
were thrown on the American cloth
ing market in 1919, while a billion
pounds of manufactured, virgin
wool were accommodating in the store
houses. Shoddy is made of wooden
rags, re-spm perhaps as often as
eight times. 1t is usually woven
with a small percentage of virgin
wool to stick the broken fibres to-
gether. OF the 62O,OOO,000 yards of
"all wool" cloth produced by the ma
tons mills, the amount of shoddy
used would have produced 3S0,000,000
yards, if straight shoddy cloth had
been turned out. Mixed with u little
new wool, it entered into the COM
position of a vastly greater yardage.
In the same period, the amount of
new wool used would have produced
240,O0O000 yards of virgin wool
cloth, if it had not been adulterated
with shoddy.
The statistics in the above para
graph We're made public by the Ma
tional Sheep and Wool Bureau of
America, with headquarters in Chi
cago, which is organizing the sheep,
farm and business interests of the
country behind the French apper
Truth in Fabric bill. This bill was
left in the hands of the Interstate
Commerce Committees of both houses
of Congress ut adjournment. 1t is
designed to compel manufacturers to
stamp their cloth with the percen-
tages of virgin wool and of shoddy
it contains. Howard +. Greene, sec
rotary of the bureau, said:
Range of Prices Desirable
Last year, as never before, the
Shoddy interests succeeded in foist-
ing their goods on the public. Only
600 100000 lbs. of wool in its nat
ural state. or 300,0OO,OOO lbs. of
cleaned wool, were converted into
cloth. Most of this amount was
mixed with shoddy to make it stick
together. If the entire 300,000,000
lbs. had been made into pure virgin
wool cloth, it would have provided
only 240,000,000 yards, as against the
3S0,000000 yards of shoddy goods.
1T would have taken 1850, 100000
lbs of virgin wool to have made the

entire 62O,O00,000 yards of all wool
cloth turned out by our mills. But
the entire amount need not have
been made of virgin wool. There
should have been virgin wool cloth
for those who could afford it and
shoddy for thinner purses. That
would have provided for fair compe-
tition between virgin wool cloth and
shoddy and for a fair range of
prices. Instead, through the lack of
stamping, shoddies were sold as all
wool and the public, accepting all
MED the right of choice and the bene-
fit of range of prices.
Virgin Wool Takes Back Seat
To-day, the stores are filled with
shoddy clothing and billion pounds
of virgin wool fill the storehouses.
The shoddy interests have become so
thoroughly intrenched through the
right of their product to masquerade
as new wool under the popular
term, all WOOL that they have been
able to create in their own interest
an artificial over-supply of virgin
wool.
in spite of this billion pounds in
the storehouses, the world produces
third less wool annually than it
needs and the demand for new wool
is as great as ever. The Shoddy
manufacturers have simply thrown
themselves between the public with
its demand for virgin wool and the
sheep men with their supply.
"As a result, the wool-growers are
being forced into insolvency. To
save those of the West from I'M
mediate ruin, the Federal Reserve
Board has authorized the San Fran
cisco Federal Reserve Bank to adj
vance money to help them carry
their unsold clips. However, this aid
affords only temporary relief. The
farmers and sheep men must have
permanent relief from the unfair
competition of the rag-pickers.
THAT billion pounds of unmanu-
featured, virgin wool in the store
houses, kept from the public which
wants and needs it by the legal right
of manufacturers to use unidentified
shoddy in their all wool cloth,
threatens the humiliation of the
sheep and wool industry. 1t is to the
interest of every voter to get be-
hind the French-Capper Truth in
Fabric bill and see that it is en-
acted into law at the next session
of Congress. Between enlightened
public opinion and the Truth in
Fabric law, the wool-growers may
be able to recover some of this
springs losses at next springs
clip"
Shoddy Interests Profit.
While loaning the sheep men
money to withstand the rag-pick-
ers' competition, the United States
government is doing more than any
other single agency to swell the rag
pickers' income. In the supplement
to Commerce Reports" issued April
20, 1920. the Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce, of the Depart
ment of Commerce, reports under the
caption, Army Garments Sal
vaged":
The number of garments received
at Dewsbury Great BRITAIN each
week is about 100000 and the esti-
mated total since the depot was es-
tablished is no less than 10000, 900,
weighing about $4,000 tons.
Those that are too dilapidated for
further wear are classified blended
and sold as wooden rags TO shoddy
and cloth manufacturers to be pulled
into fibre and re-made into cloth,
principally for the civilian trade"

To Buy Land for Wells

OXFORD, O., March 31.-The board
of public affairs of this village will
probably institute condemnation pro-
ceedings against the owners of the
Bonham farm, adjoining the village
waterworks, in order to secure land
upon which to drill additional wells.
For years the water supply has at
times been insufficient, and more wells
are imperative. 1t is understood that
there has been trouble in arranging
a price for the location of the wells,
and in order to save further trouble
the village intends to go into court
and purchase it's own ground.

MANY welded BUT
DIVORCES INCREASE,
SHOW co. RECORDS

Divorces and marriages, more d.
vorces and more marriages.
That is the record of Wayne county
for the past three years.
Statistics gathered from the county
clerks office Wednesday show that for
the first three months of 1918, 81 mar
riage licenses were issued and %
divorce petitions were filed. For the
same three months in 1919, 6S licenses
were issued and 33 divorce suits filed,
and for January, February and March,
1920. AZ divorce petitions have been
filed against 103 marriage licenses
sold.
Each year the number Of divorce
petitions filed seems to be growing
nearer the number of marriage licen-
ses issued, say officials.
Already Most in State.
Wayne county has already earned
the distinction Of rendering more di
vorces than any other county in the
state, and early 1920 figures tend to
show that she will again walk away
with honors at the close of this year.
Officials hesitate about giving rea
sons for the large number of divorce
petitions filed in the court saying that
the only plausible factor in the matter
is that the married couples just
don't agree"
Advocates Trial Marriages.
A trial marriage law has been ad
vocated for some time by prominent
county official, who says that that is
the only way couples can be sure that
they are really soul-mates. This Off
cial says that a couple should be
granted a temporary, or trial, mar
riage license.
At the end of 60 days of living, to
lsether the couple, if confident thai
,they can live successfully as man anG
wife, they should be given a perman
ent marriage license. In case the
couple find that hey have made g
mistake their trial license should be
annulled or revoked.

Dreaded Appendicitis
Frequently Caused by a Consti-
pated Condition Of the
Bowels
Is the Most Direct and Danger
Gus Disease Brought About
BY Constipation

Theories vary as to the actual
matter of Appendicitis diagnoses
leave no room for argument that
Constipation is it's most frequent
cause. The perpendicular section
of the large bowel becomes over
loaded with faecal matter, and
it's weight and pressure finally
become so great that some Of
the refuse is forced into the
little vermiform sac, and the in
flammatory condition thereof
known as Appendicitis results.
Some of the most prominent sur
geons claim that in operating
for Appendicitis in many cases
the large bowel is filled with a
hard, rotten mass. stuck to the
walls like glue, and in some in
stances filled with nests of
worms. The prominent medical
writer, Cant" says: ct is doubt
full if there is another ailment
which is more prevalent, causes
more annoy ance, or is more
troublesome to both physician
and patient, than persistent Con-
stipation."
You can find quick and pcrma-
nent relief from this troublesome
condition through the use of

How To Gain Flesh

A simple but sure way to increase
the weight, it is asserted by several
we'll known physicians. is to take regu-
larry for several months, one or two 8
grain hypo-nuclane tablets after each
meal These little tablets have the
distinguished merit of increasing the
red and white blood corpuscles, aiding
digestion and promoting assimilation
and absorption of the elements in the
food which go to make blood and solid
tissues. They are obtainable in sealed

a forerunner of more serious ills to
follow Faintness, dizziness, sinking

first observed. The digestion becomes
impaired and the appetite poor.
Then comes palpitation of the heart,

Leonard Ear Oil

Ninety Percent of the cases of
Deafness and Head Noises are
Catarrhal, due to Catarrh in the
Eustachian Tubes and Air Pass
ages which connect the ears and
nose. In all such cases these
Tubes become stopped up with
Catarrhal mucus, and the Air
Passages of the Head clogged,
thus preventing the air from en-
teringan d circulating as nature
intended, and the result is Deaf
ness and great variety of
dreadful Head Noises. Catarrh
causes Thickened, Sunken and
Hardened Drums. Also, il the
Natural Drum is perforated or
completely destroyed the cold
air enters through the perfora-
ton and a Catarrhal condition
quickly arises. Therefore, be-
fore there can be any improve
ment in Hearing or Relief from
the Head Noises 1t is absolutely
necessary that the diseased con-
dition in the Eustachian Tubes
