THIJ > OP c< on at ruraYIelepi Following is the first I'ri/.e Kssa (instonia High School, <??st Conducted liy tIk* Pledm graph < In recent years much has been saiil and written about how to make the country a more attractive place for young people. Older people have been alarmed at the tendency of young men to leave the farm and go to town. Man is a social being and as long as life on the farm is one of Isolation we may expect the rural districts to lose the most energetic and promising young men. This ought not to be for there is no grander and nobler occupation than that of farming. There are three improvements that will do much toward checking this tendency to leave the farm. They are good roads, rural free delivery and telephones. Of the three the telephone is of the greatest help. When the roads are too bad for the residents of these districts to mingle with each other they may converse over the telephone. || It is my purpose to show that the telephone is the greatest agent possible for the removing of the handicaps of the farmer. Last year many men had been read ing in the paper about the big change being made in the milk handling laws. One night at a meeting n man got up and asked bow many knew that these new laws had been put through, and not a single one knew it. 1 The man who was telling the news had gone to a small store that day after some goods and while he was there the storekeeper had received the news over the telephone. Now if it had not been for this man thes* people would never have known that those laws had been put through. Not many people have time to ride nine or tea miles to town every day for news. The thing for these people to do is put a telephone in every-1 one of their homes. Many men who live in the country haul their fruit, potatoes and many oilier kinds of vegetables to a town far away in hope of getting a better price for tb? m. only to find the market low while the price they obtain would just about pay for the raising and hauling of their produce. Now if these men had a telephone in their homes they could easily call the markets and find the price before hauling them all the way to town. I know a man who operated saw mill fourteen miles from a railroad or town. A small piece of niachinerv was broken and lie immediately proceeded to the telephone to order the new part, but found that someone had cut down a tree and It had fallen across the wire and put it out of, service. This necessitated his hitch-j Inir up and delving ?iv miles to the nearest telephone. When he did this' he sot his message through alright and the new part was forwarded by parrel post. Had it not been for the telephone he would have been compelled to drive the whole distance, fourteen miles, what a loss of time! This is one of the many instances I might relate In which the !n mnnprtlnn with fh.P n ir eel post, is a time saver This also ; shows clearly the necessity for safe, guarding poles and Svires for tele-' phone communication. H.cau* of someone's carelessness this man had , to drive six miles fo a telephom when otherwise he could have telephoned j Immediately. The weather forecaster It our; neighboring town of ( larlotte g.-ts ! each day numerous reports by telegraph of weather conditions r 11 overj the country, trom which he complies Ji the forecast of probable condition* to i be expected >n this vicinity. If a storm ; io raging on the gulf coast and Is; . headed In this direction it la often a great Advantage to the farmerss to know ahead of time in order to properly secure field products by g?t VAN LOONS cco^ntA /- ? >p- / "THfcV P6UL Co** IT.

It is also often valuable to the farmer to know ahead of time of any anticipated frost or drops In temperature. Weatheir reports can be secured each day by telephone, free for the asking. A man in the rural district drives ten or twelve miles just to And out the price of cotton where if he had a telephone he would not have anything to do but call the cotton market in the town or city. There is no use of a man trying to get a right price for his produce unless he knows just when and where to sell it. Last year many bushels of fall apples rotted because the owners did not know that a certain market in the town had succeeded in getting ten empty cars, and that the man at the market could only hold these cars for one day. As the market man could J not get word to most of the people| in time to bring their apples, they wore lost. Whal the people lost on, the apples would liavo paid for a dozen telephones for each one of, them and it they do not get together ' and lind a way of keeping in touch J with each other the same thing may i happen this year. Suppose a girl in the country is going to have a party. Mow is she to invite Iter friends without writing invitations or going and inviting them to come? The money the girl spends for invitations she could pay for a telephone for a month and she just has one evenings pleasure where she could have a month's pleasure for the same amount of money invested in n telephone. Suppose a man living in the conntry becomes desperately ill at a late hour of the night. Some one has to ride seven or eight miles after the physician. Before the physician can teach the home of the man he is dead. This man has lost his life hv not getting a physician in time. Not long ago a young robust man just in the hloom of life was cutting wood. He accidently cut his foot and severed a blood vessel. Before his brother. who was with him, could get a physician the boy had died from the loss of blood. Many other lives have been lost In the same way. Now if there had been a telephone in the homes of these people it would have saved the lives of these two men. A man in tho country had to go to a lodge meeting in the city one night, leaving his wife and child at home. About twelve o'clock his wife discovered that a robber was in the house. When she found the robber he had all pf Jewelery and silver. But what could she do? Nothing because there was no neighbor near or a telephone In the house. Now in this case Is not a telephone useful? Of course It is. Many people in the country would rather p?y ten ! dollars a month for a telephone than lose all their valuables in one night. A lady in the country is going to have a dinner. If she had no telephone she must drive around to her} nelebbors putting in her time lnvlt- | lug them, then she must make one or two trips to town to get some ar-| hole for the dinner in all, spending j about two days gettmg ready ti login the preparation of the dinner! j With telephone in the house she might do all this in fifteen minutes. Is a woman j time and shngth worth so little that she can nflonl to jp<. nd eignt tr t ot hours i.oing a work that the telephone would enable Iter to do In f\lteen minutes'People drive t? n m les to town to find out. the price of cotton. While they are coming to town they could pick several hundred pounds of cotton. They have now lost a whole days work, while, if they had a telephone they would not have lost more THE LANCASTER NEW! ~\ s? U2co^\ f 5AV LOOK ) V^He.

' | Thus you see that the telephone enables the farmer to keep in touch 1 with the markets; that it banishes loneliness by providing a convenient means for social connection: that it,' serves as a protection of life and health in that a physician may be t' summoned quickly; that 't secures t > the farmer the protection of the law for an officer can be called quickly: that It Is a time saver and a medium of general information.
