w man substitutes for its old lists
of "best selling books" new lists of books
Din greatest demand" The new lists are
compiled from reports Of public libraries
throughout the United States, and Frank
Parker ~StOckbridge, who directed war
work so successfully for the American
Library Association, has taken unusual
precautions to insure reports honestly re-
fecting the most demanded fiction and
nOn-fiction works.
1t is not any longer a secret that the old
lists of 'best sellers were subject to
manipulation, Of which the Bookmdn at
that time was entirely innocent and
against which it could not always guard.
But librarians of public libraries have no
pecuniary interest in making a particular
book appear more popular than another.
Their reports, made directly to Mr.. Stock
bridge, are accessible to no one else; only
Mr.. ~Stockbridge will know the Librarians
reporting, and the roll of them will be
changed from time to time. There are
1900 public libraries. more or less, in the
United States and he is in touch with them
all.
The first list of books most in demand
In November is, for fiction:
l. The Amazing Interlude.
2. The Rough Road.
3. A Daughter Of the Land.
4. Joan and Peter.
5. GreGtheart.
6. Dere Mdble.
For other books:
J.. A Minstrel IN France.
2. Ny Four Years in Germany.
8. Out to Vim.
4. The Kaiser As I KneW Him.
5. Private Peat.
6. OUer the Top.
We suspect the char eter of the list Of
non-fiction books may show a decided
alteration when this months report ap-
pears in the February BOOkmdn. Mean
while it is interesting to aequaint our read
ers with the fact that at this moment the
best selling fiction in the United States
is a novel not named above. 1t is The

Third and last call for the January

books of American sailing vessels which he

JarG Head. He quotes them to show "the
direct simplicity and vigor of an absolutely
pure prose, and the integrity these men
laid as a foundation for what should have

phenomenal success is the sort of thing
that makes history in "the trade"
The Four Horsemen has triumphed over
all sorts of handicaps. The first was its
title, the second its authorship, for
though Ibanez is the greatest Spanish
novelist and one of the greatest of living
novelist, the general public in America
knew him not. The third handicap was
the awkward price-$1.9 O-and the fourth
was the Enthusiastically Latin han
ding Of some phases of the story; we
say Latin, and the late Mr.. COmstOck
would have said much more. The sheer
length of the book Is a handicap-and per-
haps there are other things that didn't
augur well for it; certainly the delay in
its publication was not advantageous to it.
Yet there it is, selling in the 10000 class,
a book for which the most hopeful spe-
cialist could not have predicted a sale of
over 10000 copies. Look well, o book
seller, and ponder the marvel thereof.
There are only two possible explana-
tions. The first is, of course, the sheer
merit Of the book itself, its epic quality.
The second is advertising. The publishers
had faith in The -Four Horsemen. Their re-
ward will be a moderate sized fortune.
Both these explanations are needed to ac-
count for the wonder of it; together they
hardly suffice.

Lewisohn it is necessary to assume a pos

Kaiser Principles

While we sit in our homes on these
gasless, influenza Sundays, we are
thinking of the worlds conditions.
We of us that are church members,
who are working for the church and
its high ideals, have within us deep
feeling of thankfulness that we are
connected with an organization that
has kept Christ's teachings alive be-
fore the world. The allied govern
ments have thought these teachings
important enough to fight for. When
the principles of the kaiser and his
allies, including the liquor traffic, are
destroyed, think of the freedom the
missionaries viii. have in all lands to
advance Christianity, which will
change the world from its kaiser prin-
ciples to that of Christ's principles.
This will mean. a decided advance
ment along all lines that are for the
be1terment of Humanity in every way.
We believe, according to the Bible
teaching, that a nom Christian has the
same attitude toward God that the
kaiser holds toward us, namely: en-
joying all the advantages of the best
civilization which came as result OF
organized Christian teaching, doing as
little as he can to help. In other
words, he is taking all he can get
without giving anything in return.

boen killed in battle, according TO

Rev. Irish was pastor OF the First nj"
n church in Baraboo for number
of years and the granddaughter was
a guest here for summer. Whlle
here she was member of the Metho-
dist Sunday-school and at that time
Mr.. Wright often came to Barapoo.
The following is an extract from
a recent letter of Lieutenant Wright:
1T is inspiring to be here in place
where the history of mankind is De-
ing changed. There is much hardship
and sacrifice all right-no denying
that-for it is no joke, after all, to be
far from home, to never see tire, 10
use candles for ones only light, to
plod thru mud and rain day after day
and never know what the next day
holds in store for you.
But the knowledge of what the
mission is puts glory all things.
Fifty years from now these~few dark
years of war will have proved to be,
in reality, the brightest years OF
human history. The few years that
seem now years when the world IS
being made free"
