WILLIAMS. Secty. County Commissioner R. E. Nealon Is shy a new hat for his spring cam- j palgn, and Arthur Perry Is wearing one all because the heavens gave forth rain last night. Kealon got rain, Perry got a hat, and the judges say It was a square deal. But Nealon would like to know Just what power the Smudge Pot editor exerts over the great god. Jupiter Pluvlus. C. W. (Wig) Ashpole witnessed the transaction. It happened this way. "We got to ,have rain," the Table Rock farmer Informed Arthur Perry. "No rain, no potatoes." , "If I had a new hat It would rain In 36 .hours," Perry declared, scanning his frayed chapeau. "It never falls." An argument ensued, during which Porry maintained his stand "no hat, no rain." Nealon took a good look at his own recent purchase, then slipped It on Perry's head, taking the later's head piece In exchange. "If It rntns In 36 hours the hat Is yours," Nealon dcclarod In depart ing. And before he reached Bybee bridge the heavy shower spilled Its blessings upon him. His problem today is how long will It take the alfalfa to grow enough bales of .hay to finance a new hat can It be ( before election? Perry, who Is also an authority on the hay crop, says "no."
