SCIENCE it seems has reduced rain to
understandable commodity, at least
Frank Melbourne, the Australian rain
maker is open to propositions. Since
MS experimenting began northwestern
Kansas has received more rain than
had fallen before during the fall in that
part of the State. Whether or not the
mysterious machine has brought the
rains the people have every confidence
IN him. Last week a mass meeting of
citizens was held, and Melbourne was
asked to submit proposition for wat
ering the forty counties in western
Kansas. His proposition was to water
them at ten cents for each cultivated
acre. There were this year 2OOOOOo
acres under cultivation in the counties
which it is proposed to water next
spring. TO raise this amount the
County Commissioners will have tn
