There was distinct admiration in her

HOW WOOL CLOTH is MADE.

A large part of our wool fibre, for
the making of garments, comes from
sheep, although some wool comes from
the camel, the angora goat, the Llama
and the alpaca. Parts of Australia,
England, Spain, Africa, Germany, South
America, Canada and the United States
are well known sheep-raising localities
which produce much wool.
Sheep are sheared in April or May.
The wool is clipped from the body of
the animal and removed in one piece
which is called the fleece" Sheep
which are we'll cared for and properly
fed, produce the best wool. Merino
wool is the finest variety.
Wool fibre varies from two and one
half to ten and one-half inches in
length. If you examine q wool fibre
under microscope you will find the
outside of the fibre covered with tiny
scales called "serrations." These ser
rations lap over each other very much
like the outside scales on pine cone.
When heat and moisture arc applied to
wool Fl bre, the serrations soften and
if pressure is used they re locked ia
gether. This locking together is known
as the ''felting property" of wool,
and because wool has this property
it is possible to make from it cloth and
yarn of n close, firm texture.
When the fleece, sheared from the
sheep, reaches the manufacturer it is
submitted to a series of warm soapy
baths to rid it of its dirt and excessive
oiliness. If you have ever placed YOU
hand on sleeps back, you will re-
member how oily the wool felt. After
the warm baths, the wool fibre is drieo
in machine called 'hydro-extractor'
and is then beaten into fluffy mass
Now that the wool is clean anc
fluffy, it is moistened with little div,
oil to make it soft and elastic ant
better for spinning. There are TIVE
kinds of yarn made from it-worstec
yarn and wooden yarn. Worsted yarl
is made from wool that has been combet
until all the fibres lie parallel befor
they are twisted into yarn; woolel

THE REPORT TOM CHESTER

affair of the man Smith and Of Joe in
the hospital has been in your hands
from tho first. II is to you We must
look for the report upon their actions,
and the plan for dealing with them.
1t was characteristic of Lillian that
she made no demur, but struck directly
into the heart of the matter that had
called us together, with only an airily
mocking gesture Of acknowledgment in
my fathers direction.
& The only report / have" she said.
"Tis from Or. Petit. He says that Joe
/ is able 10 leave the hospital, and that
people purporting to he his employers
arc waiting to take him away, and Will
take Mrs. Beckett "a nurse, but that he
will delay his consent until we give the
word. That, of course, we do not wish

Down a flight of deep, wide steps
they took her into a cave so large the
Princess had not found with her eyes
the end Of lit when she saw the Prince
bending over a chest.
Running toward him and calling
his name the Princess was soon IN his
arms 'Oh, why did you come here?'
he asked the Princess, and then of
tIe two men who had admitted her
TO the mountain he asked: why did
you let her in?"

Princess nearly tipped over backwards
when she tried to see the face of this
creature.

slaves while my husband is away,
roared the creature. ~ have eyes in
the back OF my head as well as in

AS she spoke the giantess turned
her head and the Princess saw that
she had two faces, one on the back
OF her head. Her hair grew only on
the top and sides and was short and
stubby like the hair on the tail Of q
horse.

giantess. We'll, l want slave, SC

fused to obey my husband and work

The Princess now saw what the
Prince was counting. Heaped on the
floor beside the chest were diamonds
pearls. erneralds, sapphires and othel
precious stones and around the cave
by the wall stood close together more
chests containing treasure.
The Princess did not seem to be /;
bit afraid of the glantess and she smiled
gaily at the Prince as she went with tn,
creature and said, II will be back In ,
minute"
When they reached the far end o
the cave the Princess said sweeuy t
the giantess: at must be great sor

to whirl about, trying with her from

her head
She was SO busy whirhng that sh'
did not notice the Princess running
swiftly down the cave toward the
Prince.
Come" she said, catching the
Prince by one hand and then seeing
the men in velvet she called to then

realizes that the economic burden
being imposed upon the country
is nothing less than staggering.
Unfortunately the most acute
suffering probably does not oc-
cur in the ranks of those who are
responsible for existing condi-
tions, but rather among the hun
breads Of thousands of workers,
not nearly so well paid as the
railroad workers and miners,
who are involuntarily thrown
out Of employment. Without
any attempt OF discuss the merits
of either the miners or railroad
strike, and without any relation
to the suffering and injustice in
flicted upon workers in other
industries who are forced into in
voluntary unemployment, the
broad statement may be made
that when abnormally high
wag s are paid to the workers
in any industry the margin be-
tween a fair wage and the wage
paid is nothing less than a tax
upon the people as whole, a
vast majority of whom are other
wage earners not so well paid,
and the farming classes which
are most poorly paid Of all, prob

A SPLENDID MEANS OF
ADVERTISING SECTION

The proposed idea Of holding
an Eastern Carolina Exposition
is an excellent one and the Eas-
tern Carolina Chamber of Com
merce should lose no time in put
ting the movement over.
Each community in Eastern
North Carolina should contrib
ute it's part toward making the
exposition success through
holding community and County
Fairs and bringing to the East
ern Carolina Exposition each
year the best exhibits Of the
various sections.
Our local Chamber of Com
merce should get behind this
movement and help push it to a
conclusion, for it will be the
most effective means possible Of
advertising Eastern North Caro-
lima to the world for what it
really is and for it's future pos
sibilities.
With respect to this movement
the Greenville Reflector has
the following to say editorially:
The Eastern Carolina Exposi-
tion, a project recently recon-
mended at a meeting of the direc-
tors Of the Eastern Chamber Of
Commerce which was held in
Wilson, is receiving favorable
comment on all sides. If the
project materializes it will be one
of the best advertising mediums
for this section of the state as it
will show to the outside world
what we are doing along educa-
tional and industrial lines. The
Eastern Carolina Chamber of
Commerce is composed of sp1en-
did business men both from the
cities and the rural districts and
is doing more to bring the town
and country together than any
one thing. The members~of the
local chamber are heartily in
favor Of the exposition and arc
giving to it their undivided sup
port.

THE EFFECT or THE STRIKE

One gets new conception Of
the real meaning of big strike
from the statement of the Nation
al Industrial Conference Board
that there are today approx
mate]y 1,250,0OO persons in the
United States out Of employment
as the sdirect result Of strikes.
This represents the loss Of TO-
600, 900 man-hours of work
daily. When one remembers
that the 100000 striking miners
have been out since April I, and
that the railway maintenance
men have been out since July 1.
