POPULARITY OF wRIGHT,s BOOK

No story writer in the history of
American literature has ever been paid
popular tribute to compare with that
given to Harold Bell Wright. "The
Eyes of the World" has had a sale of
over one million copies. Publishers es-
innate five readers of book to each
sale. This means that about five mil
lion people have read this great story;
that is to say, an equivalent of one
twentieth of the population of the Unit
ed States.
The figures for the eight books of
Harold Bell Wright would be still
more staggering. These include "The
Shepherd of the Hills "Tbe Calling OF
Dan Matthew'S, 1.-THE Winning of
Barbara Worth, "That Printer of
Udell's", "Their Yesterdays, etc. The
total sales of these books have passed
the eight-million mark.

Washington, July S.-This has been
West Virginia's week at the bat in
The pitching and catch
ing have been performed by that per-
petually grinding committee known
as the Ways and Means Committee
of the House of Representatives
while the West Virginia batters have
been led by Congressman Edward
Cooper-himself a coal producer
seeking to protect The smaller coal
operations from the effect of a taxa
ton scheme hat would fall more hea-
Willy upon the smal.er operators than
uopn the large producers, and by
Congressman George Bowers, a fruit
grower, paving the way for considera-

long years and his apple trees for

placing of higher taxes on the coal
industry, but he contended that some
sort of equality should be establish
ed among all the industries before the
tax was laid and that certain credits
should be allowed the coal producers
for the purpose of buying needed
equipment; Z otherwise, he said, the
production of coal would suffer a de-
Zine. with possible coal famine as
a result. There is no question but
that Mr. Dawson made marked i'm
preston upon the committee with his
sta, ement. In fact, his testimony was
highly complimented by Congressman
j, Hampton Moore, of Penn sylvania,
and others. The Washington Times

full committee, staged some star Wit
nesses in the course of the hearing.
Cooper's star was none other than j.
w, Dawson, of Charleston, who
brought his long, practical experience
in the coal business into play at an
exceedingly opportune moment and in
manner that caused the gentlemen
OF the Ways and Means to sit up and
notice Dawson and his bushy beard
several times over
What Colonel Dawson told the
committee was substantially this:
that the coal industry of the country
under the present system of taxa
tom, is paying really more than its
share of taxes by reason of the fact
that the money re,inyested in keep
ing up the plant and equipment of
coal mines is treated by the Federal
Trade Commission as profits; in fact,
the Trade Commission, in it's recent
review of money being made by coal
companies, had included such invest
ments
He further argued shat it is unjust
to the coal business to compel it to
sell its product at a fixed price while
also compelling it to buy its equip
ment in the open market at prices
which in many instances had advanc-
ed over two hundred per cent. Col
Dawson did not argue against the
