The Late George T. Beckman.

To the Editor of The Republican.
have been requested to write a
few lines on the life of the late George
7. Beckman.
l knew George for about As years,
and being neighbors with a common
cause which we exercised from youth
up until middle age, hence we were
friends in our youthful days which
continued through early manhood and
terminated with his death in middle
age. Having lived by him for SO
years, we never had the least difficult
ty to ma that friendship. He was
always ready to extend the helping
hand either in bushes or in social
way, which trait he unknowingly prac-
ticed until he was called hence. The
last fifteen years or more of his life
we were separated, he inheriting his
fathers home and continued farming,
while | was otherwise engaged.
In October, 1926, at his earnest re-
quest, visited him. l found him an
i'll man, but having hopes of a future
life. | next visited him in November,
1926, and seeing his serious condition
| remained with him until the end.
will say, so far as human mind can
judge, George passed away a saved
man. He requested US to pray with
him and asked that we continue to
pray for him. heard him pray,
Lord, have mercy upon me-" His
mind was active until the last breath.
His great concern was for MAMA"
as he called Mrs. Beckman. Time and
again he said he was ready to 60.
When the pain became very acute the
last thing he said was, II know the
Lord has power to receive me-" Thus
our good friend left US, but not with
out hope of meeting again if we live
as we should.
There is vacancy in the hmoe that
nothing but the Holy Comforter can
fill. May the mother and children
cling to that thought and eventually
meet George in heaven. PHI.

HOW WONDER.

wonder what | was before | came
to be
What now l am;
know that time has always been
and always is to be:
So, Sam,
l wonder what l was, whittier upward
going
Or back to be lamb.
If l have lived before, l do not know it
d, AS | know it now;
/ feel brand new, just beginning, su-
perfine,
So that is how
want to keep myself, keep on living,
AS | am doing now.
I'm full of health, of life and love,
A joy in their progression;
don't believe in hell, life's extinction,
Or in retrogression;
If l thought l was going back to what
When still unborn,
My heart would sigh to see oblivion
nigh,
And life hope forlorn.
If we believe that at the grave
All life that's conscious ends,
May it not be that in our thinking,
doing,
Is what life depends on what one
sows;
So shall go on thinking, hoping,
And trust Him to tell. who only
knows.
Birth and death are mysteries
mat make US pause and doubt,
1et better for US, perhaps,
That life's secrets will not out:
We see that life and mind from ele-
mental matter
Lifts and grows,
But how full of life and mind is Crude
matter,
God only knows.
All natures parts cooperate. coordi-
nate,
And tremendously entwine,
SO It's no accident that gives us life
And makes the sun to shine:
For man alone the seasons eternallv
come and go,
The budding spring and summer
heat
Lies sustenance to grow;
After autumn'S harvest, winter
comes to purify
With ice and snow.
Thus all things are made for mans
Immediate and eternal good,
AND | would not change the cosmic
plan,
Providing that I could.
Behold the stars their courses run
-, AND ever on schedule time;
This spectacle is to me
Most wondrous and sublime.

Ana proving one great design,
so back Of it all designer is.
Omnlsclent and benign.
All created things are means
That serve far-off unseen end,
But to eXaIt sef-conscious life
Does all creation tend.
We see but the outer parts
VI Efe's great passing show,
It's inner works we wonder at,
But never fully know.
Mother earth's been kind to me.
Right here, | want my soul to be
Where | can live and love,
On something solid stay;
Let life grow me new bodies
AS my old ones pass away.
The more I learn, the more I keen on
seeking
AND the more | wonder
Where | was, what | was.
And if my end means going back

COLD SNAP FEARED
Canadian Grain Belt Anxious as Frosts Are Forecasts-Unscaso able Weather Affects Market.

Chicago, Aug. (P) - The extent of the cold snap and accompany ing frost over sections of the Can adian grain belt today was being watched with anxiety as reports of more frost were received.
 The effect of the unreasonable weather on the grain situation was reflected on the markets where grain prices scared, especially or wheat. which was worse hurt by the cold. Prices advanced approXi- mately five cents a bushel. Other grains went up in sympathy more than because of crop injury.
 One point in North Dakota re- ported killing frost and other frosts were forecast in northern Minnesota and eastern North Da- kota, as we'll as in Manitoba and Saskatchewan tonight.
 No frost was reported in the corn belt, but the forecast was for cooler weather.
 Grain crops in Alberta were not affected.

PRINCE DOES ALL THE
 GREETING IN ONE TOWN
Wales Gets on Train and Shakes Hands of Citizens Who Fail
 To Recognize Him

schreiber, Ont, Aug. g Pp-There is one spot in the wide dominion of Canada where the Prince of Wales may pass unknown.
 The royal train which is bearing him to the British throne west ward, with Prince George. Stanley Baldwin, premier of Great Britain and the members of their party, stopped for five minutes yesterday at White River. Flags flew over head and a crowd had gathered at the station, for the royal party had been expected.
 The Prince of Wales and Premier Baldwin hurried down the platform, shaking hands and extending words of greeting. There were answering smiles in some cases and puzzled looks in others. And there was not cheer. The people did not reeog- nize in the Prince of Wales and Mr Baldwin the ones for whom they had been waiting.
 So the prince and his party steam ed on their way, unrecognized by the general public of White River It was the oldest incident of the royal tour

 Information MT. Coolidge has re- ceived since he came here indicates the Boulder dam bill will go through next session in some form or another.
 Tension surrounding the summer White House following bombings in New York has somewhat diminished but the extra guard will not be re- faxed until after tomorrow when Sacco and Vanzetti are scheduled to pay the death penalty.
 Telegrams have been pouring in pleading with Mir. Coolidge to in tervene but the message from Sacco- Vanzetti defense committee has not yet been received at legislative of- fees. When received it will be re- ferred to the justice department in ordinary routine.
 The defense committee has asked that Mir. Coolidge delay the schedul- ed execution until justice depart ment files can be inspected to as- certain if deportation investigations had not been conducted against Sacco and Vanzetti. Defense desires to show that this fear of deportation resulted in what is legally termed consciousness of guilt"-an import ant point in their trial.
 It is pointed out here that Mir. Coolidge has no authority in the matter and could act only if a rec ommendation for stay was made by the justice department.

PHILIPPINES MAY to TO NEW DEPT.
Favor Change in Control to
 Secretary Of Interior

Rapid City S. D.. Aug. 9-Irriga- tion and reclamation problems and proposal to change administration of the Philippine Islands from the war to interior department were brought to President Coolidge's attention to- day with coming of Secretary of h. terior Work for a series of confer cnces.
 Work will be the secor1 cabinet member here for discussion of gov ernmental policies with the chief executive, Secretary of Navy Wilbur having arrived yesterday to talk about the new naval building pro- gram to protect this nations secur- ity on the seas.
 The Philippine administration matter has been brought to the fore by the death of General Leonard Wood, administrator of islands and necessity for selection of a success sor. Wood long has been an advo- cate of military administration hay ing been in the army since the time he belonged to Roosevelt's Rough Riders. MT. Coolidge and Work, however have indicated that they would like to see department ere ated in the interior department to handle island possessions.
 Such recommendation was made by Carmi Thompson of Ohio, who investigated Philippine situation for Mir. Coolidge recently Thompson is regarded as one of the most likely candidates for Woods post. Other likely candidates named include Henry L. Stimson, New York. and former Senator Rice w. Means. Speculation also has centered around possibility of William Y. Hodges, Colerado; former Senator Lenroot republican, Wisconsin,; and former Senator Wadsworth, republican, New York. It isl felt. however that chances of their appointment Is re- mote chiefly because Mir. Coolidges advisors here think it likely none would accept. Appointment is not expected to be made for a month yet.
 Work interrupted his tour of western irrigation and reclamation projects to come to confer with MT. Coolidge. It is expected that the interior department head may sug- gest some new legislation in the next congress to aid development of these rrojecas, He recently gave out statement favoring develop ment of Boulder Canyon dam pro lect and has spent much time at

Rancher Declares
Valley Well Off

Conditions in Imperial Valley on
the whole are much better than in
the Middle West, according to Dan
lei Brandstattcr, Wcstmorland ranch
or, who has recently returned from
an extensive trip to that part Of the
country.
Crop conditions in the Middle
West are not as promising as they
might he, Brandstatter states, and
money is also inclined TO be tight.
Many bank foreclosures have been
made and obtaining loans on crops
has been difficult.
We may have some sctbacks
here, = Rrandstatter said, "but we
are fortunate in not having as manv
natural disadvantages to contend
with rs the ranchers in other. SOC
tions. Too much or too little rain,
storms, cold weather when it should
be hot and hot when it should be
cold, are all experienced by the
Middle West farmer. And to these
natural problems many others can be
added.

conviction that we have very little

Showing Progress

Imperial county's work in the
eradication of camel thorne, one Of
the noxious Y eeds which is being
combatted il the state s southern
counties, was inspected on Sunday
by horticultu raj commissioners rep
resenting O.difornia's eight south

1t was reported at the Indio
meeting, which was attended by b.
A. IIarrigan, horticultural commits
sioner of this county, that Riverside
county has appropriated $4,000 to
be used in combating this week.
To date, no money has been APP
propriated by Imperial county, but
camel thorne eradication was found
by the visitors to be progressing
well. Ranchers having land infested
wit hthis pest and the horticultural
department are cooperating togeth
er for its control. Cultivation and
flooding are the methods being sue
cessfully used in this county, and
the weed is under control at the
present time, Harrigan explained.
The Importance of planting pure
seed is also shown in this connec-
ton, as all fields in which Turkes-
tan alfalfa seed was planted in
1914-19l6 are found to contain cam
