Visitors in town go into raptures over
the beautiful lilies in the ponds at Co.
burn Park. some going so far as to say
they have never seen anything so beau
tiful. The lilies now completely cover
the surface Of the ponds, some being
white and some pink. They have been
blooming since the middle Of June,
though the blossoms are not now so
large as they were earlieA These lilies
were set out several years ago under
the direction Of the park commission
and their blooming season is much
longer than the native pond lilies. The
park at the present time Is we'll worth
a visit by the citizens, the rapid growth
of shrubbery and trees being especially
noticeable.

Scarcity Of skilled labor and short
age of gas, has ieeriously interfered.
and continues to handicap operations
in many plants. Added to this, the
manufacturers have tho added thorn
Of sadly disturbed transportation facll-
tiles. which has interfered with the no
ceipt Of sand and other necessary sup
plies. besides greatly delaying the
shipment Of goods.
The export trade, while not as large
as 1t might be. Is OF sufficient size to
encourage manufacturers, and shows
signs Of considerable increase during
the summer. This, OF course, is wholly
at the mercy Of the transportation
companies.
The demand for plate glass, wire
and obscured glass is growing at a
remarkable rate, and authorities be-
lieve that 1t will be even greater be-
fore the year ends.

In Their Desperation to Get to

(By William Alden Ga,nett. ,

Public office is public trust. and
when the people trust an ofiice-hold-
er 1t shows that he has proved his
worth by his ,endeavor, and in proof
Of their confidence retain him in Of
five. This is the rule, and ] admit
the exceptions. II there is oppose
ton to a faithful public servant 1t Ia
manifested only by those who seek
to displace him from purely selfish
motives. It happens sometimes that
this attempt to displnce q good man
gets very noisy. The fuss little
bunch Of rustlers can make when
they are trying to get to the pie
counter reminds me Of the coyote.
The coyote is a little animal very
numerous on the plains years ago.
and a slick forager. The coyote Is
nocturnal in his habits and his cry
Is weird and lonesome. He Is seldom
visible. but at night leaves to sit on
his trail and howl "coy-oo-tee." He
Is ventriloquist, and IN throw his

coyotes were singing "oh Where Is

present mayor and chief Of police Of

Of It, and I am about the city six days
every week plying my vocation.
have heard many citizens say that
they believed both men had done
their best to serve the people inn
partially.
1t ascertain that the chief Of POI
lice has prevented great deal Of
petty litigation growing out OF
clothes-line scraps and backyard
squabbles. He has "jollied" the
'belligerents and sent them home to
fuss no more. His patrolmen are
kindly, courteous men, not over-of-
ficious or unduly ineddlesome, and
the chief Is the most genial chap on
the force.
What's the matter with Mayor
Gordon? Hasn't he done his fun
duty? The citizens should think
right well of him because he has de-
clined to be dictated to by the cabal
or "steeredv into any course that de-
.viates from the line Of duty. A man
Of fine fibre. he has brought no dis
credit on his city, and. longer ten

BETTER PRICES FOR
WINDOW GLASS SOON
Based on Big Demand and as.
the Market Now Shows No
Signs of Weakening.
-The Glass-

P1TTSBURG, April 1.-The Glass
worker says:
Another advance In window glass
prices at no distant date IL confidently
predicted. m
This belief is based upon the pres
ent demand. which has demonstrated
q sustained power beyond the fondest
expectations Of the majority of those
who INDUCED in optimistic forecasts
a couple OF months ago. Instead Of
dwindling. as It was expected to do
at this time, the demand at present 10
strong in every sense OF the word, and
the outlook for the spring and summer
months presages an increase. ~
Reports show that, for this time Of
the year, the movement of glass from
jobbers stocks has been and continues
to be unusually large. There Is an i'm
mense amount OF building In sight DUR
ing the ensuing year, and the jobbers
are Of the opinion that prices consid-
erably better than those now, ruling.
may be secured before long. Whether
the manufacturers will allow present
quotations to stand remains to be seen,
but in the opinion OF the well informed
the March price list will be followed
by another advance.
A rumor is current which, II based
on fact. may tend to alter for the
worse the present prosperity in the
glass market. This rumor is to the
effect that a majority Of the indeper,-
dent machine window glass plants are
to be operated as full as possible all
summer,in order to take advantage Of
the good business. These manufacture
ers are Of the opinion. 1t is said, that
the present demand justifies such
operation all summer. and that It will
probably absorb all such capacity
production. 80
The approaching close Of the hand
plants fire Is also reviving. the rumor
that many Of the hand plants. or at
least such as then may be in condition,
will extend their season, and make
glass during at least part of the sum
mer. 1t is claimed that as only part
OF these plants would be in physical
condition to continue In operation, a
full quota Of workmen would be in
sured tosall plants thus running.
something which few any of the
hand plants have enjoyed throughout
the fire. g1s
