Aunt Janet Needs Help 
And Offers a Prize for the Best Answers 
American Agriculturist, February 9, 1924 
A new oil lamp that gives an amaz¬ 
ingly brilliant, soft, white light, even 
better than gas or electricity, has been 
tested by the U. S. Government and 35 
leading universities and found to be su¬ 
perior to 10 ordinary oil lamps. It burns 
without odor, smoke Or noise—no pump¬ 
ing up, is simple, clean, safe. Burns 94% 
air and 6% common kerosene (coal oil). 
The inventor, R. M. Johnson, 642 N. 
Broad St., Philadelphia, is offering to send 
a lamp on 10 days’ FREE trial, or even to 
give one FREE to the first user in each 
locality who will help him introduce it. 
Write him to-day for full particulars. 
Also ask him to explain how you can get 
the agency, and without experience or 
money make $250 to $500 per month. 
A braham Lincoln said that his 
whole life was moulded by the 
books he read as a boy. The man or 
woman, the boy or girl, who likes to read, 
is never at a loss for something to do and 
knows how to use the “hidden treasure 
that lies in books.” 
To those who, like Lincoln himself, 
work hard and know scanty hours for 
relaxation, a few great books, rather than 
a changing variety, usually represent the 
favorite reading matter. Faithful friends, 
read over and over again, their worn 
bindings bear testimony to the hard 
usage they have known. 
We hear a great deal these days about 
the hysterical fiction which is said to be 
all a part of the “modern trend”—what¬ 
ever that may be. Many who seem 
qualified to know testify that our boys 
and girls are going to the dogs. They 
point to the titles of the “best sellers” 
as proof of what the modern generation is 
reading—and thinking. 
It might come as somewhat of a shock 
to some of these doleful prognosticators to 
read the recent statistics from booksellers 
all over the country, who report that their 
best seller, over fiction and everything 
else, has for some months been Papini’s 
“Life of Christ.” Books of biography, 
popular science and history are often 
far outselling the frothy novels so widely 
advertised. Libraries, where people may 
borrow a book and return it at little or no 
expense, have many calls for light fiction. 
But apparently when people buy books, 
to own the rest of their lives, they want 
something more solid and worth while. 
What Can She Do With $5 ? 
All this has been suggested to me by a 
letter from a young girl in New York 
State, asking for my advice. “Someone 
has given me $5,” she writes, “and I’m 
to use it on books. What would you 
advise, Aunt Janet? Shall I put it all in 
one fine book, or shall I buy several 
different ones—some classics in cheap 
bindings perhaps? And I do want a 
good, thrilling, up-to-date love story. 
Is there one that will last—that I’ll 
want to read a year from now or even in 
five years? Please tell me how to spend 
that $5! I am starting a library, for I was 
given a pretty bookcase for my room for 
Christmas, and this is the biggest con¬ 
tribution yet to my very own collection! ” 
Aunt Janet wants her to have them all 
—the handsome book, nicely bound, the 
classics and the love story too! Indeed 
there are plenty of new' love stories worth 
reading. We envy the people who once 
waited breathlessly for each installment 
of the stories by a new writer named 
Charles Dickens, but there are some 
mighty fine modern novels now waiting 
their turn to become classics. Aunt Janet 
would never advise any girl to drop the 
love stories entirely from the list. 
Please Advise Aunt Janet! 
But it’s quite a problem to spend that 
$5 and after thinking it over some time, 
I decided I’d like some advice too. That 
gave me another idea and I sought out 
the head of the American Agriculturist 
Book Department, with the result that 
in return for the best advice you send 
me, I can offer a little gift. 
To the writer of the best letter advising 
us how to spend $5 lor books, I will 
send with my compliments a copy of 
ROLLING ACRES, a delightful story of 
modern farm life, and A VIRGINIA 
SCOUT, a book which combines sound 
historical fact with a charming romance 
of early Colonial Days. To the writers 
of the two next best letters, I will send 
one of these books. If any letters tie for 
first place, both will get the same award 
and this holds true with the second awards 
too. No letter should be more than 250 
words in length. Mention w r hich book 
you prefer if you win second place. 
Address your letters to Aunt Janet, c/o 
The American Agriculturist. 
Hoping to hear all about your favorites 
—I wonder how many will choose the 
same ones I like?—Always yours,
