Farmers No LONGER Lonely,

Conditions have changed in rela.
tion to the farmer. No longer is he
segregated from his fellows. His is
not now condition of irremediable
loneliness or isolation. With the
advent of the interurban trolley car,
the telephone and the rural mail de-
livery the entire condition of his ex.
lstence has changed. Today the
farmer has his daily newspaper, his
added facilities for correspondence
and his telephone that brings him
within speaking distance of hiy
neighbors and the great outside
world. The nature of the farmer has
changed with the changed conditions
that surround him. He has become
a business man who is in constant
touch with his markets and is well
versed In the varying circumstances
OF trade in the commodities that he
produces. The old days of loneliness
are gone forever. The man with the
hoe has triumphed at last. He has
come into his own. - Kansas City

TURN THE SHEETS.

Sheets often get badly worn in the
centre before they show any signs of
wear at the sides. Careful housekeep-
ers often turn" such sheets when
they are made of double width goods,
simply tear them down the centre,
hem the edges with a narrow handker-
chief hem and sew the outer selvages
together A carefully turned sheet
lasts more than twice as long as
