Rain-maker Failed to Make Good.

In its "l7-Years-Ago Column"
the MOkane Missourian last week
contained this item, which is par
ticularly interesting in this year
Of little rain:
Geo. q. Matthews, the rain
maker who contracted with Mex
leo, Mo, people to bring rain,
worked until he became dizzy
headed, but no rain came. He re-
ceiyed 500 for the experiment
and lost $500 by the failure-be-
sides shaking the confidence of a
ronfding public. When the
rain-maker" failed, the good
people of the city began praying
for rain, and the next day good
shower fell"
DR.. r. w. Bourne tells the Mes
sage that he remembers Rain
maker Matthews very distinctly.
DR.. Bourne says he was astounded
at the Mexico public for being
taken in" by Matthews.
Matthews made his little ex-
pertinent on the northeast corner
Of the Public Square. He was to
bring rain by some kind of an eX-
plosion. When his explosion
went off it made about as much
smoke as a puff from a cigar
But it was big enough puff to
annihilate Matthews, for he has
gone the way of all the other false
prophets Of the world.

Good Roads by Convict Labor.

The following letter, which ap-
peared in the st. Louis Republic
a few days ago, brings up an idea
the Message has advocated for
some time. They are building
good roads not only in Georgia
hut also in the progressive new
State of Oklahoma by the same
means. Read the letter:
Apropos the good roads"
movement in this and other states,
permit me to call attention to the
manner in which the State of
Georgia is in part at least solving
the problem of road labor, by us
ing prison convicts by agreement
with the different counties of that
state.
The forty-siSth General Assem-
bly, of this state passed a law of
which | had the honor to be the
author, providing for the gradual
abolition of the present contract
system of hiring the convicts to
private corporations for a small
sum per day for each convict.
Among other provisions this law
provides that the warden and in
SpectOrs of the Penitentiary may
in their discretion enter into con-
tracts for the employment of not
to exceed three hundred convicts
of the State Penitentiary upon the
public roads and highways of the
state, at such times and places and
upon such terms as said warden
and inspectors may deem proper.
Under this provision the County
Courts Of the various counties de-
string to use convict labor on the
public roads in their respective
counties could contract with the
authorities for a given number of
convicts for any period of time
agreed upon and use the labor in
making roads. If the system
proved successful this law could
be amended, so that all the able
bodied cOnvicts in the Peni.
: tentiary could be thus used in
constructing good roads thruout
the state.

Letter Found Below.
Columbia, Mo-, Sept. /, 1911.

Columbia, Mo-, Sept. /, 1911.
At a meeting of the State
Board Of Horticulture held in
Jefferson City this week Governor
Hadley offered a strong resolution
which was adopted, calling upon
farmers and others who have ap-
pies to sell this year to notify the
secretary or members of the board
at once and every effort would be
made to find them a buyer. The
man with a small crop is often at
a great disadvantage because he
cannot attract IA large buyer.
while if it were known that there
were several small crops in a
neighbOrhoOd reasonably near a
shipping point, it would be sure
to suit some man to go there and
purchase all and thus be able to
load one or more ears. The large
grower is much better able to take
care of himself in disposing of his
crop to good advantage.
Every reader of this letter is
urged to send to me or to Sec. W
l.. Howard at Columbia, at once
the following information: Num-
Der of acres of each variety of ap.
pie, distance apart trees are SET
and when planted. Also give
some idea of number of bushels
you will have this year. If we can
get several buyers interested in
your crop you will be apt to gel
the highest market price for youi
fruit.
Send in the information asked
for now whether you have any
fruit or not as we will then know
you have an orchard and can hell
you next year. Every season We
get letters from buyers from al
over the country inquiring wher,
orchards of apples, peaches
Strawberries, etc, may be found
| am trying to help the people il

stitute my district: Audrain
