RAINMAKER HATFIELD
THE TALK OF ITALY.

Rainmaker Hatfield is the talk
of Italy. They had five
months drought over there. Ital-
ian government sent an S. 0. S.
for Hatfield, reputed to have
made the heavens open and pour
down heavy rains in various
parts of our country and Canada.
Hatfield set up his rigging
near Naples. Presto Comes
young cloudburst.
1t used to be-maybe, still is
a military saying that the thun-
der of cannon precipitates heavy
rains.
Albert Stiger, the Austrian,
probably had this in mind back
in 1896 when he invented the
small cannon that is used to
stave off and break up hail
storms.
Prof. D. w. Herring, writing in
the Scientific Monthly, says he
has investigated all kinds of
artificial weather control" and
that he is convinced Stiger's
method really works.
The cannon theoretically
breaks up the clouds.
Rainmaker Hatfelds' method
is kept secret. He was offered
and won $4,000 an inch for max

however, and warns farmers

THE VALUE OF MUSIC.

The increase in the interest in
music of the general public di-
reefs attention to the various
forces which are responsible for
this aroused public interest. They
are many, some dating from the
war, others from new inventions
in musical Instruments, making
music more widely accessible;
some arising from wholesome,
restless tendencies seeking an
outlet. Whatever the origin, the
fact itself is a cause for rejoic-
ing, for music has moved out
from the wings and has taken its
position on the centre stage. 1t
is now in The limelight.
1t is really on trial With its
greatest prominence have come
greater responsibilities. We
know what music has done for
that limited class known as the
unsteady cultured. But what is
it to do for the people as a
whole? What will be its influence
on the nation?
These are questions which we
believe concern every music
lover, and place on each and ev-
cry musical force a responsibility
for aiding in shaping the infu-
ence of music so that it will be
most generally beneficial.
The purpose of this editorial
(and it has a purpose) is not to
discuss the general musical situa-
ton, but to call attention to
forces for musical advancement
and culture in Americas. The
force we have in mind is the
Americas Music Study club,
which is leading the way in a
campaign for a valuable contri-
button to the educational adj
vantages of Americas and this
vicinity.
For some tine we have closely
followed the work and activities
of this organization of women
and have noticed the excellent
work they are undertaking. They
have been restricted to a large
extent for lack of cooperation,
thereby limiting their influence
and preventing them from ac-
complishing a larger work.
The members of the Music
Study club have been and are in
creasingiy'used by practically ev-
cry organization in Americas.
They have brought pleasure, hap
piness and uplift to hundreds and
that is the test by which we are
to judge them. The purpose of
this is to make suggestion with
the thought that those to whom
it appeals viii act upon it and
cooperate with them in making
the undertaking a financial sue
cess that it may be maintained
each season as one of our civic
institutions and thus help them
to still further extend their in
huence and awaken an interest
in and love for music which lies
dormant in every human heart.
To raise musical appreciation in
general is educational work of
the finest type.
