called arid districts of the world.
These delegates actually own and op.

millions of acres, and the problems
they have met to consider are vital to
sixty-three per cent of the American
continent and to more than fifty per
cent of the entire earths surface.
The congress is a unique organiza-

ture and the development of better
farming methods in the sub-humid or
so.called dry" districts of the world.

no lands to sell. Its work is utterly

originated in the mind of Mrs. John
T. Burns of Colorado Springs. whose
husband is secretary-treasurer OF the
Dry Farming Congress and who has
worked with him in directing the des-
TIMES of the mems organization for
the last five years. Mrs. Burns saw
that much is being done for the men
folk on the farm; nothing for the wom'
en-, whose needs are infinite because
Of the confinement Of their lives.
The women's program includes
frank discussions of proper equipment
for the farm home, laws of physical
life in relation to the family, the cash
value !of rest, labor saving devices,
the economic value Of the farm wom-
an, the country church and the
country school; together with demon
STATIONS in cooking, home hygiene.
emergency nursing, and the care Of
infants and young children. Men and
women of international reputation
are on the program. which has been
prepared by Mrs. Burns, secretary Of
the new organization, assisted by a
working committee Of prominent Colo
RADIO women. A special section will
be devoted to the women writer's on
farm newspapers, whose influence is
the greatest single factor in the life
of the American farm-woman.

cupies two buildings and is divided
into two sections, the machinery dis

result that exhibits are made from

man was a brother of F. Fowler, OF

who has many friends here:
The announcement of the death OF
Judge David Fowler will be received
with regret by the many friends by
whom he was greatly beloved. In
deed, he was a man of most lova5le
nature-GheerSul, genial and affee-
tionate, and a sincere Christian gem
tleman. He was member OF the
court of appeals of Maryland from
1889 to 1905, when he resigned to-
ward the end of his term. In 1889
he succeeded Judge SYellott as asso-
ciate judge OF the third circuit, and
seven years later succeeded him as
CHIEF Judge and member OF the ap-
pellate court. He was on the bench
% years and served his people with
ub!ltty and the highese honor. For
16 years he was a member OF the
court Of appeals, and in those years
he did his full share OF the work,
and the Maryland reports give evil

ASH WEDNESDAY
And Opening of Lent Will Be
the First Day of
March.

March 1. will be Ash Wednesday
and the opening of Lent. This day is
observed in all the Catholic churches
by blessing ashes and placing them
on the forehead of the faithful, there
by reminding them OF Lent, and the
time for penance.
The ashes distributed on this day
are porcured through burning Of
palm leaves, that are blessed the pre-
vious year. While placing ashes on
the forehead of the faithful the priest
states: Remember thou art dust and
to dust thou shalt return"
1t is an old custom in the church
and is practced in all parts of the
world where Catholic churches are
found. THIS has been done since the
time OF Adam and Eve, when they
were driven out of Paradise by com
uniting sin, they also being reminded
that they were dust and to dust they
shall return, thereby telling them to
do penance for their sins.

things, hesFas man of uIblemished

When Judge Fowler went to the
court Of appeals the other members
CT that court were Richard Henry

Irving. John II. Robinson, Oliver
Miller, James Mcsherry and Freder-
lex Stone. Judge Fowler was the
last survivor of that period and now
he has gone over to the great ma
jority. Every one Of them was a
strong and able man, and perhaps
never was the appellate bench
stronger than at that time. The
senior member OF the court in point
of service at the present time is
Judge John P. BriscOe, of the Sew
enth circuit, who has served since
1850, term OF 81 years.
