New York, March 70 (SpeciaD- The business statement of the Metro politian Life Insurance company for 1921 contains interesting matter not generally found in the statement of financial corporation. It relates to the human side of great business. The company's assets are more than S1, 115.000,000 and it's policies outstand- ing are more than 25.500,000. Many people, hold more than one policy and the best estimate of the company is that this number of policies insures, in round numbers. 19,000,000 indivi- duals. AS over 20,000,000 of the pol icies are the so-called Industrial, on which premiums are collected weekly by agents who call at the policy holders home, tthis gives to com pany with the financial stFenght of the Metropolitan an opportunity for health and welfare work. The state ment published shows how the com pany has accepted this opportunity.

F. J. LINNELL & CO.'S LETTER

New Orleans, March 2O-(Special.) Final returns to the census bureau as to the quantity of cotton ginned from the growth of 1921 were smaller than generally expected, 7,977,0O0 bales, counting round as half bales against 13,27l .000 for 1920. which, on the basis of 500 pounds gross weight per bale, provided only 7,953.000 bales, whereas the governments estimate last De- cember was for production of s. 340 900 bales.
 In other words, the government overestimated last years yield by 3S7,000 bales. Nevertheless. the mar ket ruled rather disappointing, not withstanding climatic conditions in the interior over Sunday to have re- mained generally unfavorable; too cold in the southwest, too wet east of the Mississippi river. where moderate to heavy rains occurred again. There is nearly 100000 bales less in the country than the trade has been figuring on, as the recent basis of calculation has been the December crop estimate of the government which final returns show was too high by.3S7, 900 bales.
 Meanwhile the weather inland re- mains unfavorable. another week of cold. wet weather having delayed fur ther crop preparations In the central and eastern portions of the, belt, which delay is against the making of a large crop because of the presence of the weevil.--H. and B. Beer.
 HUBBARD'S LETTER
 New York, March 20.--(Special.) ) The market opened steady. with a slight advance over Saturdays close. Buying by Liverpool and Wall street caused a continued upturn. Most of the buying was on the reported rains over the eastern belt. which would delay preparation still further Later in the day. the market eased on some profit taking for long interests at the point buying orders were lack ing. consequently the market eased under 1Sc for May. Sentiment here is still mixed but the general news is of such character to prevent, selling to any great extent yet there is cer- tain amount of confidence lacking to instill good buying. Our opinion, is that prices will work higher.-Hub- bard Bros. X Co.

sive ticket. Another ticket called the
Taxpayers was headed by H. E. Phelps
for mayor, j. A. Alley, Elmer Chap
man and Bert Ellis for trustees. Al
though the names of these latter can
didates did not appear printed on the
official ballot, it being necessary for
their friends to write in their names,
these Taxpayers candidates were all
elected by large majorities. The chief
issue was the tax burden, but personal
Dissatisfaction and neighborhood per-
sonalities played an important part,
as they do in nearly all small town
elections.
At Carbondale two tickets were in
the field, both of them by petition,
neither set Of candidates being given
a place on the official ballot, and
thus the matter Of voting was rather
tedious process.
At Carbondale the Progressive tick
ct, with G. E. Smoke for mayor, W.
d. Moore, P. x. Barthell and II. ".
Robson for trusetees, was victorious
over the Citizens who designated as
their candidates W. J. Pings for may
or and Chas. M. Rhyme, W. A. Witchey
and H. W. Robson for trustees, Mr..
Robson being designated on both
, tickets. There was no real issue, be-
yond a desire on the part of the voters
to have some choice in the matter Of
selection, and good feeling prevailed
throughout the campaign.
,, At New Castle the men put up q
ticket, and the ladies Of the commune
ty, not to be outdone by the sterne1
sex, nominated ticket composed en-.
tirely Of ladies, with Mrs. J. W. Rite,
as their candidate for mayor. As q
result Of Tuesdays contest Mrs. Rite,
was elected mayor, and Mrs. Pearson
present town treasurer and a candi
date on both tickets, was reelected
Otherwise the naughty men took all
the offices.
