FARMERS BEAT LOW MARKET
MAKE WOOL INTO BLANKETS.

Farmers of North Carolina, assist
ed by representative of the United
States Department of Agriculture
and the State College of Agriculture,
have found that there are more ways
than one to dispose of wool. They
are having their wool manufactured
into blankets and expect to sell the
blankets. About $4,000 pounds of
wool produced in North Carolina has
been handled in this manner.
The bottom dropped out Of the
wool market for North Carolina.
Three wool sales which were to be
held at Washington, Greensboro and
Asheville were abandoned, due to the
fact that there was no market for the
wool at prices acceptable to the far
mers. After the sales were cancelled
large manufacturing company with
establishments at Winston-S.alem and
Elkin, was interested in the PROPOSE
ton to make up the wool of indivld-
ual farmers into blankets. A repre-
sentative was stationed at Elkin to
receive the wool. Each consignment
was weighed, graded, and a report
made up showing just how many
blankets of a certain grade and quail
ity could be made from the lot. This
saved the manufacturing establish
ment the necessity of advancing cash
for wool on an uncertain market.
Many of the farmers are now arrang-
ing to place their blankets on the
markets, and it is estimated that their
wool will average them something
like SO to SIS cents a pound and in
some cases more. Wool from the
State experiment station Melted APP
proximately 70 cents pound and
that from a State test farm approx
mately "a cents pound.

legged confession of August Pasquale,

ing the kidnapping of 13-months-old
Blakely Coughlin, who was stolen
from his parents home at Norristown

to authorities working ON the case.
At the same time Pasquale is alleged
to have confessed to the murder. of
woman in Philadelphia, which local
police believe clears up the mystery
surrounding the killing last June of
Mrs. Rose fisherman, who conducted
rooming house.
PasQuale's latest story, as given
out by the police was that, after
stealing the child, he accidentally
smothered 1t under his coat and
threw the body into the Schuykill riv-
er near there. This was substantial
ed today, the authorities said, by the
finding of piece OF steel rail and a
string at the spot in the river. pointed
out by him. PasQuale said he tied a
piece of rail to the body before cast
ing it into the water. Today the pri-
soner, who has been locked up in the
Montgomery county Jail since his
capture on August 2, led Capt. Ger
hardt, of the state police. and a diver
to the place where he claimed to
have thrown the body. The diver
brought to the surface the rail with
the string attached, as described by
Pasquale.
In PasQuale's alleged confession to
the murder of a woman in this city,
believed to have been Mrs. Rose ASH
errhan, the mystery of whose death
two nights before the Coughlin kid
naping has never been solved, he is
quoted as having said he killed a wo-
man about so years old at rooming
house the latter part of May or the
first Of June.
Fer two weeks. he said. he had a
room at the house and left. He went
back for the purpose of robbery, and
finding the woman had not retired,
he hid himself in closet and waited
for her to go to bed. In opening the
closet door the woman was awakened
and he killed her. He said he had
taken around $780,"
Mrs. Alderman, who conducted a
rooming house at the address given
by PasQuale, was found dead In bed
with her skull fractured on June /.
Capt. Gerhardt also said that Pas
Quale had taken him to the spot
where the prisoner told him he had
endeaTored to burn the baby's cloth
ing. It was about fifty yards up the
river bank from where the diver
found the rail and string. Evidences
Of the fire still were plainly visible.

GOVERNOR SETS
CRITICS RIGHT
POINTS OUT DIFFERENCE in AID.
MINISTRATON OF LAWS IN
NORTH AND SOUTH DA.-
KOTA.

H1ghmore, Oct. 14.-The first po-
litical speech of the campaign was
made here last night by Governor
Peter Norbeck. The governor spent
considerable time in comparison of
the state hail insurance plans of
South Dakota and North Dakota.
Attempts have been made" the
speaker said, ITO discreet the hail in
surance law in South Dakota by COM
pairing it with the hail insurance plan
in North Dakota. The North Da-
kota plan is to levy a tax of SIS on
every quarter section of land in the
state regardless of whether or not it
is used for crop production or graz
ing.
In South Dakota only the land
used for crop production is taxed to
create the hail insurance fund. 1t
would be unfair to tax land west of
the Missouri river used almost exclus
lively for grazing, to help pay tax hail
losses in eastern South Dakota.
There is also this difference Id
the South Dakota and North Dakota
hail insurance plans. South Dakota
pays its hail loss claims promptly;
North Dakota borrows money to pay
the losses and retires the loans when
the taxes are paid. North Dakota
waits for the taxes to come In and
gives the man whose crop was hailed
out only q promissory note. Yet the
Nonpartisan leader accuses the hail
insurance department of this state of
running at loss because It borrowed
money until the taxes were paid.
"The big difference In SgAth Da-
kota and North Dakota, = Governor
Norbeck declared. ''lies in the men
who draft and enforce the laws Of the
two states. In South Dakota hard
headed business men and farmers do
it. North Dakota's laws are being
made by imported socialists. !"
Judging from the comments heard
after the Norbeck meeting, there Is
little question but what Governor
Norbeck' and the entire republican
ticket will receive their usual ma
iorities in Hyde County.
