young folks want to give a party the
telephone will quickly bring in every
one In the neighborhood A stray
horse is soon located and brought back
home. In weather too bad for the mail
carrier to get through important let
tiers can be received over the tele-
phone.
One other step is necessary to enable
the farmer to make the greatest use of
the rural free delivery and the tele-
phone. It is the parcels post Local
merchants have objected to parcels
post on the ground that it would favor
the mail order houses at their expense
This can be overcome by giving a low
er rate to packages that go over a rural
route only. A parcels post of this kind
has been recommended by the post
master general. He figures that it
would prove profitable for the govern
ment. turning the postal deficit into I.
surplus. With a cheap parcels post in
operation on the free rural delivery
routes the connection of the farmer
with the town win be complete. He
can order parcels from town and have
them delivered at his door a few hours
later. Things which he cannot get in
his local town he can procure from a
mail order house in two or three days.
The farmers are united in demanding
this convenience, and it is bound to
come before long.
The fiual step in the emancipation
of the farmer was taken when the troll
ley line and the automobile came into
general use. The trolley has meant
better schooling for his children. 1t
has brought theaters, lectures and bet
ter churches within reach Of the farm
er's family. Best of all, the competi-
ton with the cities has brought about
much needed awakening of the coun-
try schools and the country churches.
The trolley is a great convenience in
taking produce to market. Most of
the cars will stop at any farmhouse
or crossroads to pick up a can of
cream, a crate of chickens or a pas
senger. Trolley lines are a great fac
tor in fastening the back to the
land movement. The farmer who
lives near a trolley line has no desire
TO go to town because he has all the
conveniences of both town and coun-
try.
Wherever a trolley line puncturcs a
city the crowded population spreads out
into the country. At first the city peo-
pie move into the country only to have
q pleaSanter place to live while still
carrying on their business in the city
Once in the country few of them ever
regret the change. Most of them say
that they would not go back to the
city to live under any consideration.
What the trolley lines are doing for
the more thickly settled districts. good
roads, automobiles and driving horses
are doing for those communities which
are not yet densely enough populated
to support a trolley line. The good
roads movement started with the ad- |

THE TELEPHONE HAS BANIsBED FARM
LONELINESS.
a week of the markets was doing well.
AS a result he usually managed TO
strike all the slumps in the market
when he had stock or grain to sell.
With a market paper delivered at his
gate each morning he could follow
prices Of farm produce closely and
take advantage of rising market
This one factor alone has paid the cost
of the rural free delivery many times
over.
The market reports were not the
only part of the paper that benefited
the farmer. He no longer got his news
a week old, but had it served up al
most as hot as if he had lived in town.
This daily contact with the things that
were happening in the world bright
ened him up. rubbed off the dust and
gave him a new interest in life.
The shiftless farmer who went to
town two or three times a week on the
pretenSe of getting the mail" only to
waste half a day or SO each time and
maybe come home ''boozed up" in the
bargain, was deprived of his excuse
and fell into the habit of spending his
extra time fixing up about the place.
The farmer who had been enterpris-
ing before became more enterprising
and had more time to put his ideas
into practice.
Along with the r. F. d. came better
roads, and when the farmer did go to
town he could make the trip in much
less time than he did before His dali
ly papers and magazines made him as
well informed as any of the business
men Of the town. The days Of the
"hayseed" were numbered.
Along with the r. f d. came a
great increase in the circulation of
the agricultural papers. The old type
of papers edited by men who had seen
little of farming except from Il car
window came to an end about this
time, and their places were taken by
papers edited by men who had grown
up on the soil and who had never got
very far away from it. These pa
pers taught the farmers the value of
better methods. They taught what
these methods were and how they
could be applied. Above all, they in
spired the farmers to do the best they
knew how, TO respect their calling and
to put it on Il business basis.
Along with the r. +. d. came the
telephone. Some of the first lines were
little more than cheap instruments
to Il barbed wire fence, but
they served the purpose. Then follow

ed lines put up on willow poles and
finally modern lines as substantially
built and as efficient as money could
buy. An automatic device to prevent
any one listening except the parties
talking is in use in some localities.
Most communities prefer the party
line, however, because of its social
features. Often after supper on a
stormy winter evening some one will
put in a general call and furnish some
instrumental music for the benefit Of
every one on the line. Then some one
else Will sing a song, some one Will
run of a few musical records on a
monograph, and an otherwise lonely
evening will be passed pleasantly.
Immediately after dinner is generally
conceded to be the women folks
hour at the phone. They will stand
and visit, often a dozen of them at a
time, until the proverbial loneliness OF
farm life is entirely forgotten.
The principal use of the telephone is
for business. The modern farmer re-
lies upon his telephone as much as
does the business man. Most of the
telephone lines are connected with the
central switchboard in town. so that
toll call will get any one in the coun-
ty or in the state. Market and wealth
er reports are sent out over the rural
lines at certain hours each day. If the
market is especially good the farmer
can call up the local buyer and con-
tract his hogs at once, or if he prefers
he can call up the railway freight Of
fee and arrange to have a stock car
most communities the practice OF
changing work" at, thrashing time is
still followed. This used to necessitate
a days work notifying the neighbors,
and then frequently it all had SS be
done over again on account of break
down to the machine or bad weather.
Now the notifying is all done in few
moments by phone.
On many occasions a prompt tele-
phone call has brought the nearest
doctor to the bedside of a sick child
who would not have lived until trip
could be made to town for the doctor.
This is one of the reasons that a tele-
phone is seldom taken out after it has
once been put in. In hundred minor
ways the telephone has become neces-
sary to the farm folk. Often after the |
farmer has left for town his wife will |
think of something she wants him to |
get All she has to do is TO call up the |
store where he does his trading and |
cave message for him. When the !

vent of the r. F. D. While country
roads in many places are far from be-
ing ideal as yet, still the length of
time when they are not fairly passable
has been reduced to a minimum. Most
of the main roads are well graded. and
nearly every farmer has road drag
with which to keep the road along his
farm smooth. Graveled roads are be
coming common. and macadamized
and oiled roads are being extended
into the country.
All these modern improvements have
added much to the profits of farming.
They have added more to its pleasures
They have given to the farmer the ad-
vantages of the city without taking
away any of the advantages of the
farm. They have made the farm the
ideal place to live.
