Zuernmsaeia Beicon persuade the people to invest their money and years of struggle to educate the people as to the use of this new device were necessary. Now every farming community has the use of the telephone enabling its people to discuss their own affairs - as well as the affairs of their neighbors, of course - and to obtain information regarding the condition of the day's market. In the olden days families had to travel over difficult and sometimes impassable roads to visit with a friend or to acquire needed information. Doctors, firemen, or policemen can be called so quickly that many lives are now saved that might otherwise be lost. In case of emergency or medical need the telephone operator is obliged to give proper instructions to the doctor. In case of fire the operator must give proper instructions to the fire station in a large community, or in small communities she must cf each fireman separately. If civil authority is needed in emergency, th police station may be called in large communities, whereas in the small community, the chief must be notified wherever he may be. Although the telephone is still being improved today, it brings pleasure to those who are confined to their homesg it aids in securing information for business purposes as well as for pleasure, and it serves us all quickly in case of emergency. Mary Belle Blackwell THE PLIGHT OF THE FARMER Farming started in this country when the colonies were founded. It was the occupation of the majority of the colonists. At the time of the Revolutionary War the colonists were ninety per cent farmers. In the northern and middle colonies farms were small while in the southern col- ofliies there were large plantations. However, the farmer had trouble from t e start. During the 1780's the wealthy were getting richer on the spoils of the war while the farmer who had fought the war could not even afford the necessities of life. Lawyers became rich from fees gathered from foreclos- ing mortgages by forced sales of the farmers' property. A veteran of the Revolutionary War, Captain Daniel Shay organized fifteen hundred farmers in Massachusetts, who closed the courts at Northampton and Worcester and defied the right of the sheriffs and constables to seize property for debt. This rebellion did not accomplish anything because it was put down by the state militia. The farmers suffered from Hamilton's bank because they were too poor to have it help them, yet they had to help pay for it. Then after the war of 1812 the farmers were faced with a new problem. The nation started to develop industries. The majority of these industries sprang up in the northeast. The middle and southern states still held to farming. Little was done to aid the farmer, and those things that were tried rarely did any good. In 1867 the farmer was getting 32.85 for one bushel of wheat, in 1877 he was getting less than a dollar for the same amount of wheat. At this time one bushel of corn was worth fifteen cents.
