Farm ers No Longer Isolated.

While our cities have been tangled

ton. Very rapidly this is being done
away with. The grouping Of homes
throughout the country is made by
rural telephone circuits. In some Of the
States these circuits have already null
tiplied into the tens Of thousands. 1t
is social revolution which we have
not yet begun to take full estimate
Of in our social economics.
Farm isolation is thing Of the past.
Neighbors scattered about, miles from
each other, now chat pleasantly and
exchange news by telephone. These
circuits, connected with a long-dis-

is posted by the Board of Trade, by
which tally he sells his crop intelli-

bands from other cities supplied the
orchestral music, and that was made
up entirely of Fosters songs.
The monument is the work of Giu
