She KnelO Recipe For

Oklahoma City. Okla. Aug. 81
Chester Westfau. assistant secretary
Of the Oklahoma state council Of de-
fence, passed up a perfectly good
chance TO become a public benefactor
by securing a good soaking rain for
the state All on account Of a small
fee Of $4,000 for the rain maker.
An Oklahoma City woman walked
into the office Of the council OF de-
fence and announced to Mr.. West
fall that she possessed the secret Of
making rain. She demanded a fee of
$1,000 for the job. Mr.. Westfau en-
deavored TO get her TO part with the
secret, but she refused.
