First Baptist Church Ontario Man Who Has Machine for Bringing Water From Sky Says Market Is Cornered. BRANTFORD, Aug. 3 UP). Theres a mouse in the rain barrel, darkly intimated Frank Clark, local rain maker, today. Some one, probably a rival, has been stealing the rain clouds.

Rainmaker Clark, sole proprietor and inventor extraordinary of a much be-wired and mysterious machine for producing rain, conceded the difficulty of getting rain out of a clear sky, so to speak, and the necessity of at least one or two good rain clouds to work on. Rain fell yesterday in Brantford. Clark chalked up an assist for his machine, but drought-plagued farmers found no consolation In the brief downfall. At least a steady three-day rainfall is needed to relieve parched lands and dried cisterns resulting from the dry spell of nearly two months. Clark has his suspicions.

Probably, he believes, a Jealous competitor is cornering rain clouds so his machine cant produce.

CHAUTAUQUA, N. Aug. 3 UP). The Press of this country is lending Itself too largely to forces that tend to make war" in the opinion of Bishop Adna W. Leonard of the Pittsburgh, district of the Methodist church.

Superficial reasons for war are no longer regarded ap seriously as they once were," Bishop Leonard said in an address on The Next Step in Preventing Another War. This may indicate growth of greater brotherhood throughout the world. It is not necessary lo have another war. It not only is possible to avoid war. but possible to make war impossible.

The bishop gave five he believes will prevent war. "The United States owes it to her- most need is the prayer of fervent desire for growth in grace, expressed irx patience, meekness, love, and good deeds The habitual struggle to be always good is unceasing prayer. Its motives are made manifest in the blessings they bring, blessings which, even if not acknowledged in audible words, attest our worthiness to be partakers of Love.

(Rutland Herald.) The Bennington Banner is perhaps a little late in scolding its readers in adjacent towns for not giving due heed to tlvsir town jyepresentative problem, with the primaries only a few weeks away; but so are we all in Vermont. Its the rare exception when the town or city gives early and urgent heed to the important matter of selecting candidates for the house of representatives. This is partly due to our easygoing and procrastinating habits and partly to the fact that -the choice of representative candidates in the primary is by no means final, ever! in towns overwhelmingly Republican. After a lively battle in the primary, say for the Republican nomination, it does not follow that the defeated candidate will philosophically accept the situation and support his successful opponent; on the contrary, he is very apt to run as an independent and may be elected at the polls. Some towns regard the primary as so unimportant that they do not even bother to choose a candiadte for representative at the primary election but wait until somebody files for the office, usually at the last moment.

Even in default of that method, "stickers can still be used or a certain name written into the space reserved and the town duly and truly represented. None of us would consider that a good way to deal with a business contingency. It would be provided for in due course and considerable gray matter expended on choosing, says a representative in some adjacent territory; but the business of choosing a town representative, being everybodys business, usually goes more or leqs by default in many of the smaller towns. That such a system produces a house membership of good average ability and that such a come-by-chance assembly really gets its work done and adjourn, is one of the seven wonders of Vermont.
