In connection with the finding of the
body of John Paul Jones some writer's
have pictured him as spending his clos
ing days in poverty and exile, forgotten
and neglected by the land he served.
This is a long way from the truth OF
history. AS matter OF fact John Paul
Jones died a wealthy man. He hal
property in stocks, bonds. bank ac
counts and other forms which could be
readily realized on 10 the amount of
100000, and there was due from the
United States 100000, which was paid
his heirs. Also he had given away
large sums. Considering the difference
of value of money in 1892 and now, We
see that Jones was wealthy man.
Even at the present value of money he
would scarcely be considered a candi-
date for the poorhouse. All of which
facts will not have the slightest effec-
upon those historians who insist upon
picturing our first grea. sea fighter as
dying in "abject poverty"

The Twelve Most Popular Novels

The New York GloDe has just con-
ers on the question Of What are the
II most popular books published in the
last two years." No fewec than 55,oS4
persons sent in their votes. a Response
large enough to imply hat the verdict
is represt ntative of tn" l:oNel reading
people of the metropolis. The Globe is
not paper which has large circula-
tion outside of New York. hut it circu-
lates there among the best people of tn"
city. and what the best class of Nea
YOlkers is reading it is safe to say is
being pretty generally read throughout
the country. AS a result Of the contest
the following books are selected in
order named as the most popular
among those published in the past two
years.

fact that there were found to be 10

votes was the first choice of 3143 per-
sons out of the 55,5S4 who voted. The
book next in order received "6S5, and so
on down to the twelfth, which received
1917. Other books receiving over 1000
votes were princess Passes" "The
Garden of Allah," and THE Orchid"
while 25 others received over 100 votes
each fer first place. Such a list sug-
gests that the present novel reading
taste is catholic and does not much
care what is the theme providing tn !.
treatment is acceptable. Nor does the
nationality matter. Three of the win
ners, Including the two leaders. are
by British authors while the ether min :
are by Americans. The fickleness Of
the public taste is suggested by the
fact that Kipling's latest book is 69th
upon the list, while Mr.. Howells, Amer

readers, but invariably no two sales

Many a man can find very inter-
estlng object lesson in the unproductive
acres. on his farm. Nearly every man
will find that he has more or less acres
which produce little or nothing year
after year and that the burden of crop
production on his farm is confined to
only part Of his land. These unprofit-
able acres may be marsh and should be
tile drained, or they may be brush
acres, when the brush should be re-
moved and chance given for the
grass to grow and make pasture, or
they may be hillsides too steep for cul-
tivation and should be set to growing
trees.
