FACTS ABOUT WOOL. 1. There Were five hundred mil lion pounds of "shoddy wool" placed on the market in 1919. "Shoddy wool" is made of woolen rags and is sometimes respun as many as eight times. 2. There were one billion pounds of "virgin wool" placed in the ware houses in 1919. 3. The nation's mills produced in 1919 six hundred and twenty mil lion yards of "all wool" cloth. 4. "Shoddy wool" alone would have produced .three hundred and eighty- million yards, While the "vir gin wool" would hav\e produced only two hundred and forty million yards. 5. The spinning of "shoddy wool" and the "virgin wool" together made the six hundred and twenty million yards of so-called "all wool" cloth. 6. The stores- today are filled with so-called "all wool" cloth which means nothing, since through the lack of stamping shoddies are sold as "all wool" by combining with some "virgin wool," and the public is denied the benefit of the range of prices. -7. In spite of the one million pounds of "virgin wool" in the ware houses, - the world produces one third less wool annually than it needs, and the demand for new wool is as great as ever; but the shoddy manufacturers have thrown them selves between the public with its demand for "virgin wool" and the sheep men with their supply. 8.' Consequently, ' the Western farmers have been forced to borrow from 'the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, and the Southern far mers can not sell wool at all. 9. Permanent relief from the un fair competition of the shoddy man ufacture must be had. If some thing is not done to stamp "virgin wool" and "shoddy wool" so that the purchaser may know the goods, the sheep industry is threatened. -0 DISPOSES OF NEWSPAPER Bishopville, October 9.-H. S.
