Symbols
of Protection
Ancient Egyptians carved
over their doorways and upon
their temple walls the symbol
of supernatural protection ; a
winged disk. It typified the
light and. power of the sun,
brought down from on high
by the wings of a bird.
Mediaeval Europe, in a
more practical manner, sought
protection behind the solid
masonry of castle walls
In America we have ap
proached the ideal of the
Egyptians. Franklin drew
electricity . from the clouds
and Bell harnessed it to the
telephone.
Today the telephone is a
means of protection more
potent than the sun disk
fetish and more practical than
castle walls
?
ti
The Bell System has
carried the telephone wires
everywhere throughout the
land, so that all the people
are bound together for the
safety and freedom of each.
This telephone protection,
with electric speed, reaches
the most isolated homes.
Such ease of communication
makes us a homogeneous
people and thus fosters and
protects our national ideals
and political rights.

When writing to advertisers say; "I saw your advertisement In
The Progressive Farmer."
Here is a postal-card we have just
received:
"Dear Sirs: Did you send me
The Progressive Farmer last
week? Have not received it
yet. If you did send it, please
. let me know by return jnail if
you did send it -last week. I
would like to have it so I can
read it on Sunday. I know some
around here who said they got
their paper last week. Please
answer by return mail."
Now we should like very much to
help this friend and we could send
him an extra copy of last week's pa
per right away and also look up his
name on our list and see where the
trouble is but he didn't give us the
postofflce address and we couldn't
make it out from the post-mark.
Every boy ought to be taught never
to start a letter without writing his
postoffice and the date the first
thing.
We have no doubt but that we are
blamed thousands of times by sub
scribers and our advertisers are also
blamed thousands of times, when the
trouble is that Mr. Farmer has neg
lected to write his postoffice address
or to write hi3 own name plainly.
It is a singular fact that many a man
who writes a very plain hand
throughout the letter will then sign
his name in a way and with such
twirls and flourishes as to make it
undecipherable.
