In a survey made as recently as 1888, it was estimated that 40 per cent of the farm homes were with out radios. The l930 census showed mat only 34 percent of all farmers had telephones and the boys at agriculture think the percentage has changed little since then.

Fowler of Calipatria.
Mr.. Chamberlen, in his address,
Long Marches, Hard Bivouscs,"
pointed out that to maintain lib
erty, Americans must throw off
the pessimism of defeatism, with
the idea that America is now old and
that opportunities are g1le; must
maintain the fundamental principle
that men with substance have a
right to keep their substance and
men without substance have the
right to gain it: that the nation
must regain the knowledge and
belief that its future greatness de-
pends on the past, on acceptance
of the common principles of moral,
spiritual values and character at
tainment.'
Discussion of amendments on the
November ballot, reports by county
presidents, and round table discus
sions by district chairmen were fea-
tured, Mrs. Harder leading the dis
cussion on the Ameican home as
national influence. Mrs. Harder
was also elected to the district
nominating committee for the con-
vention to be held in Riverside
