The Lakeview Examiner say that there is some talk of getting Charles
Hatfield, the rainmaker, up there in order to have him punch up old
Jupiter Pluvius and have him get on to his job of giving mother earth
bath. His services would be mighty acceptable down this way, also. A
great deal of fun is being poked at the rainmaker. At any rate, he
pulled down eight thousand dollars for making it rain in the lower
country.
A good rain here now would do an immense amount of good just now for the
ground is getting very dry, and unless rain comes soon, the crops here
will be every short.
