WEALTHY FRIENDS OF FREDER.
ICK o. BEACH COMING TO
HIS RESCUE
Western Press

AIKEN, S. c., April 13.-The case
of the state of South Carolina against
Frederick o. Beach, on the charge of
having assaulted his wife with intent
to kill, today assumed most grave
Importance. Undoubtedly it viii be
, a most serious legal combat. On both
sides society is endeavoring to clear
one of its members of the Aiken
ring to maintain its own fair repu-
tion.
Waiting on the plaza of the exclu-
sive Aiken club, Joseph Hartman,
tHa New York multimillionaire and a
friend for years of the Beaches, said: :
This affair is savoring pretty
closely of blackmail, and that is some
thing which we winter visitors of
Aiken, and we friends of Fred Beach,
will not stand for.
'The word of Mr.. Beach hold in
the highest possible standing, regard
less of the declarations brought into
the case by no one knows who and
warrant issued for Mr.. Beach's ar
rest, and all sorts of scandalous re-
ports. No effort will be spared to
prove him innocent and disprove the
imputations which have been made
upon all of us"
A little while after this State So
licitor Hunter said:
Il have just sent communication
to Governor Blease of this state, ask
ing that he allow me to draw upon
what is known as the governors con-
tingency fund for money enough to
enable me to prosecute this case thor
oughly and to combat the array of
legal talent that the Beaches are lin
ing up against us. In some places
rich society people may be able to
hush up such affairs as this, but
do not propose to allow them to carry
such things along their own way here
in Aiken"

COLORADO'S AWAKENING
TO LOST OPPORTUNITY

Of the 1850 delegates present at the
convention, Canada furnished 105,
Kansas n, Nebraska AZ, North Da-
kota 26, Oklahoma 20, Illinois, Michi-
gan 6, New Jersey 8, and from to
20 delegates came from practically
every state in the American Union.
Colorado's quota, including the farm
ers from El Paso county, in which
the convention was held, numbered
476. The Colorado board Of control,
in its efforts to educate the farmers
Of eastern Colorado into the necessity
Of studying methods and attending
the congress and exposition, was sup
ported liberally and actively by the
Rock Island railway, which carried
special trains with dry-farming lee
turers through its own territory, pre-
vious to the congress, by the Burling-
ton, Rio Grande, Colorado Southern,
Missouri Pacific and by the other rail-
roads of the states financially, but it
was not until after the congress had
become history and it's offices closed
in Colorado that the enthusiasm Of
the business men in behalf Of an edo.
cational propaganda began to warm,
and it was not until it was actually
known that the farmers were starving
that the business men Of Denver
awoke to the necessity of doing some
thing of a practical nature.
The lesson Of 1911 in eastern Colo
RADIO should long be remembered, and
yet ! doubt If, five years hence, the
warnings now given will even be re-
called to mind.
History repeats itself. Years ago
crowds Of settlers were allowed to
come into eastern Colorado unpre-
pared TO cope with the problems as
they found them. They had neither
the special implements, the under
stonding Of the systems necessary for
soil treatment and crop selection nor
the foreknowledge which would pro-
tect them from failure.
Ever since its organization the dry
farming congress has maintained and
must always maintain that it is only
the farmer who will conserve his mois-
ture in years Of normal rainfall or
snow accumulation, and who will fol-
low In detail the dry farming meth
DDS as they are advocated by the lead
ers in the movement, who can ex-
pect TO meet anything but failure and

the drought seasons began in eastern
Colorado, the misplaced enthusiasm Of
the men who were boosting eastern
Colorado as an agricultural section de-
veloped the very spirit which brought
forth the fruit of today-failurs. The
men who knew then advanced the the
ory that must ever be advanced that
the farmer must protect himself by
taking care of his moisture. A man
might use all of the methods imagina-
Bile, such as -plowing, soil mulch,
seed selection and crop selection, and
still fail, unless he gets moisture into
his ground. Dry farming does not,
and never has and never c2n mean
farming without moisture; It means
farming on the minimum amount Of
natural rainfall, under system of
soil and moisture conservation.

HIS LAST PLAY THEN HE SLEPT

LEADVILLE, Colo, March 27.-
Henry Jett sat up in his bed and for
iive minutes drew a few plaintivc
notes from the tiny instrument. Two
hours later his short life went ebbing
out on the wings Of the scattered
strains that floated from the toy.
Harold Henry Jett, the 3-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Jett, of
1l3 Harrison avenue, had been ill for
the past five weeks. Bronchitis
brought on complication Of other
diseases and yesterday afternoon the
end came.
The incident OF the toy violin re-
calls poignantly TO the parents the
boys passionate love of violin music.
When he was taken to the moving
picture show he always insisted on
sitting near the orchestra where he
could watch the violinist play his in
strument. Nothing would 90 but thai
the baby should have two lead pencils
which he played were his violin and
bow. He would sit on the seat proud
ly and keep pace with every motion
OF the musician In the orchestra pit.
Yesterday afternoon after long
siege on the sick bed the Jett baby's
condition became critical. Late in the
forenoon he sat upright and called
weakly for the violin which Santa
Claus, who knows what little boys
like best, brought him last Christmas.
The toy was brought. The little
fellow clutched the bow and the vio-
lin eagerly in his tiny fingers. Then
| he began to see-saw the bow across
the strings.
The father and mother stood near
| the bed and watched their baby sway
ing back and forth and saving the
bow up and down over the strings. He
was wrapt in the music" he was
making.
The plaintive notes from the toy
went out over the room. 1t was sweet
or music to the parents ear than any
they will ever hear. Then the squeek-
ey little strains ceased. The boy threw
the violin and the bow down on the
bed and sank back exhausted, but sat
isied with the effort. His heart was
full Of what he thought was the finest
music. 1t was one of the bright spots
that the little fellow had had in his
five weeks of suffering.
The note which filed the room dur
ing those ten minutes will be heard
by the parents long after the little
boy has been laid to rest. The toy
which he used SO soon before his death
will be treasured lovingly by them
and they will often see the picture
of the baby sitting up in his night
clothes playing" to his hearts con-
tent.
After resting quietly for two hours,
little Harold again raised himself up
from his pillow and, waving his small
hand, cried, 81 want to go by-bye, I
want to go bybye."
He sank back on the pillow and in
few minutes the parents realized the
sad significance of the little boys
words.
He had gone.-The Herald Demo-
crat (Leadville).
