The Four "R" g.

The telephone, which after all, is
only thirty-six years old and has un-
dergone its remarkable development
in that comparatively short space of
time, has probably become a greater
boon to the farmer than to anyone
else. Before the advent of the tele-
phonS, the great drawbacks to coun-
try fife had been it's isolation, its
meager opportunities for social inter-
course, and still fewer facilities for
protection Of home and property.
Worse still, trading and selling could
only be done by disadvantage owing
to the lack of up-to-the-m minute
knowledge of market conditions.
Today, it is the American farmer
who holds the center of the CONNER
cial ltage, and it is probably not too
muca ITO say that the wonderful lit
tie Instruments for instantaneous
communication have done more than
any thing else to revolutionibe COM
mercial life.
Why should not the farmer have
all the conveniences of his city cous-
ms?
The annual report of the Depart
ments Of Agriculture indicates that
a sum Of money, so large that the
average mind will not readily grasp
its meaning, is in the control of the
FARMERS .QfSour country. That, if
Iy'>thinl else, proves that the modern
go " mas expanded into CONNER
eiafist-a man of the twentieth CEN
tury! He accomplishes more than the
old-time farmer did, although he does
not actually work harder nor longer.
He merely does his work in better,
and, although he may not realize it,
more scientific way. He makes use
of the four "R" 's-Reading, 'Riting,
'Rithmetic and Rural telephones.
The rural telephone movement has
gone forward by leaps and bounds.
The Western Electric Company the
largest manufacturer of telephone ap-
paratus in the world, reports that
during the last three years it has fur
nished over quarter of a million
telephones for farmers use.
Truly this is the age of progress
