IRASBURG RED CROSS.
The " headquarters for this branch

This was made" necessary on account
of the schools using the hall until the
schoolhouse has been renovated. The
meetings are held on Wednesday af
ter the noon hour. The surgical
dressing class continues to be held at
the home of John Carpenter.
.The Red Cross greatly appreciates
the generosity of Mr. Doe and the
Chandler company m the gift of lum
ber for tables, and slab wood and of
Mr. Aiken and others who are going
to draw the wood and move the be
longings of- the Red Cross to the
church vestry. What a lot of kind
sympathetic people there are in Iras
burg and elsewhere, who are so ready
to give money or time or even them
selves for the church or nation. And
yet there are everywhere those slack
ers who show a streak - of vellow in
their natures. We must live with
them but . it isn't easy.
Three more boxes are to be shipped
to Boston this week, two jof hospital
supplies and one of dressings.
What a pile, of work the good wom
en of Irasburg have turned out in the I
four months since we organized. An
invitation is extended to every loyal
woman to do sewing or knitting for
us. See the energetic Mrs. dough
if you want to work. It is surprising
she hasn't seen you before this.

When you figure miles per gallon,
there is no gasoline as cheap and
efficient as SOCONY. Because
SO CONY is not only pure and
powerful, hut uniform.
Every gallon is like every other
gallon, no matter where you huy it
quick starting and chock full of
energy. The SOCONY seal means
that the gasoline it marks is the
best that extensive sources of sup
ply and highly scientific refining
can produce.
SOCONY is so different from the
inert mixtures that are often sold
as gasoline that it pays to he par
ticular what goes into your tank.

EFFECT OF MIND-WANDERING
Day-Dreaming With a Purpose Is All
Right but Much Time Is Lost In
Kind That Serves No Purpose.
Ilave you ever stopped to think how
much time is lost in mind-wandering?
How many times during the day do j
you let your uiuumns wuuuu
main task at hand? And once a per
son's thoughts start wandering, how
they skip from. one link of recollec
tions to another until a chain of
wasted moments is forged!
Mind-wandering seems to be a gen
eral characteristic of the human race,
but those who have succeeded In con
quering the characteristic and concen
trating upon the task at hand have
been the men who have moved ahead
tn the business and professional world.
Day-dreaming is all right when the
dreams are busy with plans for pro
moting business methods or with ideas
for practical inventions and when
other work is not being neglected.
The inventor of the steam engine,
watching the steam in a kettle lifting
the top of the pot and day-dreaming
about what that power might be made
to accomplish was not wafting lii
time, but was advancing the human
race.
Useful day-driming is all right, but
mind-wandering should be relegated to
the scrap heap. Arkansas Democrat.
