RESOLVED: That while submitting
humbly to the will of Him who
rules the destines of all mankind, we

Meade counfy.e Rainmaker.

'.The thing which is particularly
interesting Meade county people just
now is the work which is being &C.
complished in that county by a rain
MAKER" said w. w. Cockins Jr., of
Meade, Kansas. who was at the
Hotel Baltimore yesterday. T
won't say that he makes it rain, but
after he makes his demonstrations it
nearly always rains. Furthermore,
the fact remains that since he has
been at work, Meade county has had
more rain than it has had for years
before. A letter received here today
tells of four and a half inches of rain
there, which is doing pretty well for
the 'ssemiarid" regions of Western
Kansas.
The methods used by Matthews
are apparently the superlative degree
of all that have ever been used be-
fore. He will not describe them in
detail, but talks good deal about
electric currents and atmospheric
waves.
Largely as a result of this Spring"
rains, whether by grace of the rain
maker or of Providence, Western
Kansas is having quite boom this
spring. The people who are coming
in now realize that it is not the same
sort of country that they find in
Iowa or Illinois, but that if proper
methods are used, good results will
follow THE Kansas City Journal.
We wonder who wrote Billy about
our four and one half inch rain. We
remember one rain in July 1897
which measured ~ inches and fell
in about S hours. Meade county is
the paradise of the Southwest and il
you don't believe US come out and
see for yourself.
