She Says Good Man
Is Mighty Hard to Find
Much Married Louisiana Woman De-
cIares Poor Opinion of Men.

"A good man nowadays Is mighty
hard to find" is a complaint equally as
applicable to a small Louisiana lumber
community as it is to Broadway.
Take the word of Mrs George Luigi
for it.
And if you doubt Mrs. Luigi's right
to pose as authority on the subject,
then you haven't heard OF her matrl-
monial record.
Mrs. Luigi knows whereof she
speaks. She has had so many hus-
bands she has to stop and think few
minutes before she can tell you just
how many times she has been mar
ried and the names OF her various
teammates.
The myriad matrimonial affairs OF
Mrs. Luigi were brought to the lime
light by DR.. Oscar Bowling state
health officer when he was on an au-
tomobile tour of LaSalle parish. She
lives on a 120-acre farm near Urania
and owns that farm and the 11-room
house on it.
She likewise owns in her individual
name little bank balance substantial
1y in excess of the $4,000 mark, and
thereby according to Mrs. Luigi herr
self. hangs the story OF at least several
OF her voyages on the sea OF matri-
mony.

whirlpools at the age of n Mrs. Luigi
has tackled marriage eight times and
the experience has not improved her
opinion OF men, she says, with a grip

"RAINMAKER" is OUT
THOUSAND DOLLARS
HATFIELD LOSES WHEN Ma
TURE BEATS HIM. WATER
DROPS TOO SOON.

"Rainmaker" Charles M. Hatfield, OF
Glendale, Cal, lost $4,000 the other
dav al San Bernardino, Cal, because
it rained. Usually when It rams Hat
field makes his money, 81 900 tor eV-
cry inch OF rainfall, but the case was
different at San Bernardino III
The reservoir at San Bernardlno
was low after long drought. Ranch
ers in the country surrounding the
CITY were short OF water for their
stock. Grazing lands were dried up,
and the country would go to the
dogs" if it didn't rain.
Heard of Hatfield.
About this time the feats Of 'Railf-
maker" Hatfield began to be talked
about in San Bernardino and vicinity:
The ranchers took up a collection and
pooled $4,000. They wired Hatfield
and asked him his price for producing
rain and revivifying the parched
zone thousand dollars for each inch
OF rainfall up to five inches" Hatfield
wired. 3,
Come on" the ranchers wired
back.
The method OF procedure OF Hat
field is like this: He erscts high
tower OF lumber and on top OF this
tower he mixes batch OF chemicals,
which are burned The fumes float IN
the sky, the moisture in the atmos-
phere condenses and rain falls. That
is how Hatfield explains it. The var1-
Gus chemicals are kept secret by
him.
Hatfield arrived in San Bernardino
and erected his tower He was about
to send the rain-making chemicals IN
to the atmosphere when 1t ralned IN
generous quantities. Now it was OBJ
vious that Hatfield had not made 1t
rain, so the city fathers Cancelled their
contract with him and Hatfield pack
ed up and went away without a cent.
Five Hundred Successes.
The "rainmaker" says that he has
been successful in breaking about 500
droughts. Once he overdid the job.
The Moreno Dam, which supplies the
city of San Diego, Cal, with water,
was about dry when the city council
wired for Hatfield and he came.
He did the job so well that 10 inch
es of rain fell and flooded the reservoir
and the country, washing away roads,
houses, barns, cattle, the damage
running into millions of dollars. In
stead OF paying Hatfield the city sued
him and the case is still pending in
the courts.
Recently Hatfield went to Italy,
where he is said to have broken
drought OF long standing in southern
Italy.
There are those who say, however,
that Hatfield is the bunk" They say
he guarantees rain in from two to
three weeks, and when it does rain in
that time it is due entirely to natural
causes.

Wednesday filed a new schedule of
rates to become effective August
first. The new schedule will place
all customers on a meter service for
water.
BY the new schedule. the mini
mum quarter year charge, allowing
the use OF 1000 gallons of water, will
be $4.50 or minimum yearly
charge of SIS. Tho meter rates in
excess of 1000 gallons will be- based
on 20 cents per 1000 gallons for the
next 5000 gallons, 60 cents per 1000
gallons for the next 10000 gallons,
60 cents per 1000 gallons for the next
10000 gallons and 20 cents per 1000
gallons for all in excess of 10000 GAL
Ions
The company under the new sched-
ule will charge $50 per annum for
private hydrants and s135 per an
mum for public hydrants. Under the
present schedule the faucet rate for
domestic purposes is $40 per year,
but of course under the new SEIZED
ule. this rate will be substituted for
