his market and the time to sell.
He can telephone his orders to
town for supplies and receive
them by parcel or freight at his
door, instead of hauling long
distances over bad roads. By
arrangement the farmer can have
the metropolitan dailies to read
at his breakfast table. He can
visit a hundred miles from home
and return the same day with
greater ease than to drive to the
average town, then wait the
pleasure of the steam train, and
get back the same day-"if he
can" He can turn his farm in
to a pasture except a few acres
and make a good return produc-
ing milk, garden truck and small
fruits, which the electric cars
will each day take to a ready
market. The progressive farmer
can in a short time keep in close
touch with the great world around
him and enjoy the broadening in
luences which always accompany
more frequent intercourse with
the people at large.
This is always the result of
cheap, convenient and rapid
transportation. Healthful home
life of the country can be main
tanned and the children will be
more reconciled to living on the
farm, instead Of flocking to large
ceuters of population.
There is more meaning in the
above statements than can be
expressed in mere words. Dis
tant cities are uniting into one
commercial community and the
dividing line between city and
country is fast fading away. The
quick, convenient and cheap
transportation is working a rap

modes of life and thought, in the
customs and achievements of the
whole people.
