the same period in 1918. The hari
coal output to the same date this
year was 10,90o.o0o tons. or 90 per
cent, less than the output for the
same period last year. Yet the pro-
ducers assure the people that there
is coal enough in the bowels Of the
earth and miners enough to get it to
the surface. The trouble they say,
Is that the people are not buying.

phatic endorsement of "The. Master

tinued Mrs. Bryson, II was so weak
