Farmers Of County Receive Checks For Wool Sold In June $100 More Received For Wool Through Pool Than From Open Markets. (Contributed.) Farmers in Haywood county have recently received checks from the United States Growers Association, of Baltimore, Md.. completing payment on their 1932 wool. This wool was pooled at Waynesville the last week in June. The settlement is made up of an equalization on the advance of one half cent per pound on all wool, 1 cent additional on burry and other low grades, 2 cents on clothing wool, end ,'i.l5 cents on combing wool, The original advance was lk cents on the wool. At that time the Ashe vijle price was 8 cents per pound, and the local market was not buying at any price. The one-half cent equal ization payment made the advance equal to the Asheville market- Nearly all Haywood wool grades as one-fourth and three-eighths blood clothing. There is a little that grades one-fourth and three-eighths combing, and some burry and other low grades. The Haywood wool will almost aver ago the clothing grade, on which an additional payment of 2 cents per pound was made. This would amount to about $100 on the 5,000 pounds of Wool pooled, over what could have been obtained by taking the wool to Asheville. During 1930 and 1931 there was a drop 4 cents to 6 cents per pound on wool after the pools were made On a falling market cooperative selling always shows a lower, price, because the producer holds ownership longer. Consequently little or no second pay ments wer(. received. This year on a slightly rising market the United States Wool Growers have made a very fair showing. Over a period of years the local price of wool to the farmer has been from 8 cents to 10 cents per pound under the Boston market.

I Mere am t no depression ;u H'.iv.vood County! It's a proven fact. Last Saturday about noon a modern Pied Piper rolled into Waynesville in a tine looking Packard, but not for the purpose of getting rid of rats, as the Piper of old. His intention was to rid the people of their money, and with the help and geneinsity of about fi citizens from a crowd of 200 he made good his intentions to the extent of about !M"0 clear profit for about .'1 hours of the fastest and slickest talk heard here since the election, or long before. This modern Piper proved himself to be a fool to begin with, according to the opinions of some, but before he left town that opinion was visa versa. At a few .minutes past, noon Satur day, this young man in his Packard drove into the vacant lot between the Fi.ist NatMiial Hank and the fax: Stand, and thereon the back of his car he stood blowing an old trumpet until he had a fair size crowd then he said lie wa going to "throw a lit" fo1' the lirsl time in four days.

The' local lad with a red handkerchief tied about' Ills' forehead stood there holding the thiee one dollar bills (lur ing the ,-!il;"e performance, hut the ii.rk ;!s iicvi ' performed.

He knew where his bread and nutter was coming . from. At. this point the crowd was crowd ing and jam ing into the lot to hear the slickest-lounged salesman that ever faced a crowd here, tie told his audience ho was the "king of sales men" and would prove it to them. Whereupon, he reached, into his pocket and pulled out a dollar bill and offered it. for sale for fit) cents. It wsis .quick ly bought. He in turn sold the oO cent piece, for 25' cents. The 2." cent piece . was sold for a dime and the dime .sold for a penny. He took his penny and showed the crowd he had made live sales in less than tiVe min utes and hail lost only DS) cents. He then threw the penny -into the crowd. Then he produced some bill folders anil pocket books which he claimed were worth $1.50 but he sold' them for 2o cents. He offered a lew for : ale '.and in each instance he gave the money back to the purchaser with the hill folder, sU'Ung, that he apjireciated their early business, and jn one ins tance he refused to make change and gave the buyer back his iuoney and also the pocketbook. This method of salesmanship look with many in the1 crowd and some took it to be : a freak advertising scheme and were ready to bite at any offering he might make from then oh..:.. And well did the Modern Pied Piper realize that buyers were plentiful in his audience so he turned the tables and began to get back something for, what he had given away. - Ho then offered a small .empty box for one dollar. -He told them they, were -empty' and not worth two Cents, hut ,, Mfr members .of . -his audience' thought they knew more than he about the boxo' and proceeded to buy .'ir of- ' the empty pasteboards while -ope 'man paid a dollar for just t he lid; ; The salesman, asked the buyers if they were satisfied with their purchase: ami every one agreed that he wits, although they, were expecting, a refund .op something later.
