In Denver

Rain, torrential, fell throughout the state of Colorado. Not long before, Denver business men had bowed their heads in prayer for two minutes (TIME, May 11).

Commented Arthur Brisbane, Hearst-Editor :

"They [farmers] cannot understand why Providence should answer the prayers of business men that only deal in crops after ignoring the prayers and heavy losses of the farmers that RAISE the crops. However, the ways of Providence are beyond human understanding, and farmers ought to know it."
