Tuesday afternoon omnious clouds
indicated that something was doing
in the weather department. So about
dark a 'gentle rain set in from the
east and continued slowly for several
hours—off and on. It was not what
you would call "a general soaker"
but good a rain, between one-third
in one-half inch falling. At Here-
ford the government record shows
0.36 inches. The rain was general
over the country and the Panhandle
H. H. Hawkins bad a report from
his ranch west that a good rain fell;
Wm. Linville, who has 1,500 acres
in wheat, smiled when asked about
the rain on his ranch. C. S. Businga
feels good over the rain he got on
his 4 sec. ranch 38 miles northwest.
Reports from Black indicated a bet-
ter rain there. Castro county is all
smiles with equally as good a rain.
While the wheat had not suffered
for moisture, the rain puts an as-
suredness in the wheat raisers face
and makes everybody feel good. An
unusual thing so old-timers tell, that
March has not been a "windy"
month. The last days of February
brought a few blowy days, but so far
March has been ideal as to weather,
wind and rain.
The rain will put sod breakers to

Hereford Boasts of Poetic Muses
and Rain Prophets Right
in ler Midst.
Laying claims to many things of
merit, Hereford now comes forward
and takes the honors in two more
lines -poets and prophets. Not pro-
phets that fortell dire calameties but
weather prophets of the right sort.
At the head of the class stands
A. W. Gregg, a newcomer to the
Panhandle, but one who has enticed
the poetic muses from their hiding
and has also had a vision of a big
wheat crop. For the benefit of our
foreign readers, a likeness of Mr.
Gregg is given. A poem written by

Millinery Opening.
When it comes to a display of

no second place among the cities of
the Plains. And those who were

the ladies. The rain the evening

There were the military Napole-

The parlors were all decorated
with palms and flowers, but the dis-
