A LAND OF INSTANT COMMUNICATION The telephone can be credited with revolutionizing life on the farm. It has brought the city anel coun try together; it has obliterated dis tance; it has developed neighborli- ness among farmers, and it has been of inestimable value to the farmer in facilitating his business ane! saving his time. It is difficult to comprehend how the farmer can very well do without the telephone, but then, for that matter, it would be pretty hard for any of u.s to dispense with it. The whole structure of modern business is built around the telephone and its quick method of communication. DEMAND PEACE BOND FroTD Thursday s Daily This morning complaint was made by John A.
