ONE TRACK MIND We hear th statement made now and then that such and such a man has a “one-track mind." Whether such a characterization is intended as i criticism or compliment, the tact re--1 mains that the power of concentraI tion is a valuable possession. Nothing worth while was ever accomplishd without concentrated effort. This rule applies with special force in the administration of one's personal affairs. Those who scatter their efforts and give their time to all sorts of activities and enterprises are not apt to gain satisfactory results. Observation in any community will show that those who are succeeding best in life are to a great extent men of single purpose. A study of the careers of the successful men of this or of any other country will bear testimony to the same truth. This does not mean that there is any virtue in selfishness or in a narrow’ attitude toward life. Successful men keep themselves in a recepttive mood to changing conditons in order that they may not get out of step with the marching feet of progress. But it is Jack of thrift -a sheer waste of time, effort, opportunity and money - not to have one outstanding purpose or plan in life and bend every effort accordingly. It is always better to do one thing well than to do many things poorly. It requires will-power and strength of character to stick to a given purpose. It is the weakling - the potential failure - w’ho follows ever the line of least resistance, enthusing over one project today and casting it aside for another one tomorrow. Os all the elements that constitute thrift, concentration is one of the most useful and necessary. TELEPHONE VISITING The other day when we tried unj successfully for an hour to get in on the country telephone line, we be» 1 gan to reflect that once upon a time “neighborliness” included conversations across back-yard fences and little jaunts from house to house in I the course of (which the wives of the nation exchanged the latest news i concerning mutual friends or ac- j quaintances. In these days one frequently can find a person who re- j inembers giving rise to queries as to why such neighborly visits have pass- ! ed. The answer is the telephone. A large telephone company recently completed a series of observations, the results of which are basis for the I conclusion that the old-fa>nionen { ihack-yard talkfests now are carried | on over the phone. Equipping its i central stations with devices which measured the length of each call ' made, without “listening in” on the conversations, one company found that there is a wide variation between the length of telephone conversations between oflices and those between homes. The tests showed that in all large centers of population the average call lasted only a fraction more than two minutes. The average residence call was approximately four minutes, i । Comparatively few business conversations, it was found, are longer tnan ; five minutes but conversations from I | residence telephones extending over an hour are not at all rare. — Other Half ' The grocer said—l’ve got just one j peck of the ! . : peas, madam, nl- ' ready shelled. Customer—[Tl take half a peek. ( The grocer divided the peck of peas. Customer—ls that half? Grocer—Yes. Customer —I’ll take the other half.— Tit-Bits, London, THE IDEAL young man. according to the ads, is one who uses Paris garters. Life Buoy soap, Listerine. Pepsodent and OLD GOLDS.

America 1 s Great Debt to Pioneer Mothers Pioneer mothers played a great part in American annals. Following the ones they loved they made homes spring up in the wilderness. From helping to build the cabin, raising the little crops, weaving the clothes, down ‘ the long range of eeastdess ’. til which I frontier life holds, they were co-work- : ers with the men who gave America 1 4.8 states instead of 13, Leah A. Kaz- | mark writes, in the National Republic, Around the wide-mouthed tireplaces at night in the isolated cabins these j mothers of American yesterdays laid the founuation stones of Twentiethcentury progress?. Here they taught lessons before the coming of the schoolmaster; here they taught religion from the precious family Bible long before the steeples of white churches dotted the landscape. All the seeds of civilization they planted on each new frontier, as the men planted the wheat in the new ly turned soil, drained the swamps and felled the forests. Toiler, mother, teacher, preacher-—all these In one was a typical pioneer woman who furthered the cause of America. Incorrect Belief as to Growth of Trees A marked oak twee began growing on April 17, and grew regularly until May 23. Then it began n rest period of 32 days. On June 24 it started to grow again and continued until July 13. At the beginning of the season It grew for 3B days, then rested for 32 •lays, and thereafter grew’ again for 20 days. During the first growtli period It grew ten Inches, an average of about one-thin! of an Inch a day. This proves that the belief that trees grow from early spring, when the leaves begin to come out. until the first frost, when they start to show’ their autumn color, is not correct, i For Instance, In the latitude of southj ern Pennsylvania the native forest trees make 90 per cent of their height । growth in 40 days < f spring and early ; summer. Trees are fighting for their । lives all the time. Women Geographers The Soc iety of Woman Geographers j is a society organized in 1925 by a , group who felt that there should be । some medium of contact between 1 women distinguish'd in geographical ' work and Its allied sciences—ethnology, anlirology. botany, natural j history, sociology, folklore, arts and crafts, etc. For active membership In this society only those women lire eligible who have done distinctive work whereby they have added to the i world's store of knowledge concerning the countries in which they have traveled. Corresponding members are those who fulfill the requirements for i active membership, but who reside : outside the United States of America and Canada. The associate niefliber- ’ ship admits widely traveled women i who are interested in furthering all , forms of geographical exploration and research. - Distinctive Brigade The name “Orphan Brigade” was given to a body of troop.® because they I had to leave thsir own state to join । the Confederacy. "Different accounts have been given as to how the command acquired the designation of I Orphan brigade. Its attitude towards its native state —expatriated by rear«n of Identification wth a cause which Kentucky had not formally approved; its complete Isolation from its people; its having been time and again deprived of its commander by transfer to other service, or death in battle—these, all and singular, may have suggested th® name which soon I fixed itself in the popular mind, and ! has come to Im* the real one by which | l it will be known In history.” Stone With a Legend i There is only stone to be found I in all Lithuania, where even the paving cobbles forth« town streets have I to be imported from abroad. This j solitary stones a reMc of the Ice age, । lies in a foreet, and being unique has | a name of it* own, “Puntukas.” The country people say that the I devil picked up the stone —one can j still see the marks of his claws—to : destroy Anykecfai church. lie hurled j it. says the WiHbkigton Star, at the church, but mtowxl, and only broke off the tops of tii* two steeples. And I two truncated steeples—the only ones ! in all Lithuania—uro there to this day I to prove it. KIEST MILLING CO. Phone 22. ILnox, Indiana Gold Medal Flour bbl $8.40.
