AMANDA T. JONES.

One of the few Kansas women to have a place in "Who's Who'' was the late Amanda T. Jones of Junction City. She was one of the most prolific poets of Kansas.

Her "Atlantic'' is a story of the rebellion; "Utah and Other Poems;'' "A Prairie Idyl;'' "Flowers and a Weed;'' and "Rubaiyat of Solomon Valley'' are volumes of verse. Her prose: "Children's Stories,'' "Fairy Arrows'' and "The White Blackbird;'' "A Psychic Autobiography,'' published in 1908; "Man and Priest,'' a story of psychic detection; "Mother of Pioneers,'' and a novel ready for publication, "A Daughter of Wall St.''

Miss Jones originated a working women's home and patented many inventions, mostly household necessities.
