Edward, was concerned, says:
Edmund K. Lyon was for many years
a successful bidder on United States army
contracts for muskrat fur caps and musk
rat fur gloves.
when we succeeded to the business
OF my father. 20 years ago, we continued
to receive from Lyon orders to manufac

father and did so until Lyons defalca-

equipment buckskin gauntlet.

STANDARD samples and first goods made
in accordance Herewith were manufac-
tured by the factory of Daniel Hayes &
Co. of Gloversviile.
Mr.. Lyon entered into negotiations
with our firm for the manufacture for
him OF buckskin gauntlets, stating that he
was a general contractor for such articles,
and asked us the price at which he would
furnish gauntlets according to the United
States standard requirements. We gave
him the price
Whenever he succeeded in securing n
contract at such prices as he would de-
termine he placed orders with Our firm

tracts. We simply sold our goods to
Lyon. We entered into no contract what

various contracts by him.
1--WE have been well aware that the
United States army authorities knew we
were the manufacturers of these gaunt-
lets which we sold to Lyon to be delivered

ton year ends September 1st.
The second report will include all cot
ton ginned up to and including October
18th, 1903, the date of the first report for
1902, enabling an exact comparison in the
two seasons. The third report will cover
the cotton ginned up to and including
November 18th, a period of the utmost
importance to the growers and manu-
facturcrs. The fourth report will repre-
sent the cotton ginned to December 19.
The fifth will be the final report.
1t will be seen that this plan contem-
plates practically a monthly report dur
ing the ginning season of 1903. If it shall
be found that still more frequent reports
are desirable, the census office will be
prepared to make them for the crop of
1904.
The census method of ascertaining the
annual cotton crop can be gradually
extended and developed, with compare
lively little increase of expense, so as to
include statistics of the cotton seed oil
industry, the acreage annually devoted to
cotton, and the mill takings and con-
sumption of cotton, thus making the re-
ports complete showing of the produc-
tion and consumption of domestic cotton.

THE very circumstances which founded
the Independent State of Massachusetts
pointed to municipal ownership. John
Cotton, the first commissioner of Boston,
left in his will 500 pounds sterling to the
town for the erection of granary
ut never occurred to Sam Adams or
John Hancock that the ownership of a
granary which contained 10000 bushels
of grain was a menace to liberty or the
rights Of property or to the rights of
men.
'Ard it seems absurd for the official
or the property owner who lives in a
city which makes $1,000 year on it's in
vestment by the renting of its towels
used by summer bathers to be whining
and shedding tears at the possibility that
the city should own f0O0 900 tons, more or
less of coal.
Here is the United States with $500
600, 900 in the Treasury now waiting to
be spent. The Secretary of the Treas
ury has only to wave his hand and
presto, there will appear in his office
so many kegs of gold which will repre-
sent as many millions of dollars as there
may have been sent for.

it is pathetic that there should be found

not pack away s5OO.GO if it wants to in
