ment of 1000 words, sets forth in

Senior Davila announced tonight
that he would see President Harding
and Secretary Weeks, tho latter as
the immediate superior of Governor
Reily-at the earliest opportunity.
Declaring that Governor Reilly had
come to the island with deep-root-
ed prejudices." the cablegram assert
ed that his actions since then had in
dicated he lacked "judiciousness and
discretion" necessary for the position
he now holds. On the "pretext that
the president of the Senate and mem
bers of the majority party were ene-
mics of the United States" it con-
tinued, "he embarked on policy of
personally addicted to him"
Among specific charges against
Governor Reilly enumerated in the
message to Senior Davila were the
following:
He publicly declared himself leader
ofsthe insular republican party and a
friend of the socialist party.
He removed judiciary officers with

ETHEL CLAYTON IN
"BEYONDv AT GALAX

Just to see Ethel Clayton al! d
Charles Meredith playing in opposite
roles Is enough to make the spectator
enjoy Beyond" at the Galax now.
There ars times when one sees
couples playing opposites who do not
seem to match in the least. Just the
contrary is true of these two stars,
and seldom has the reviewer seen two
actors suit quite so perfectly or do
such fine work together.
Beyond" is a serious drama of a
rather spiritual nature and embody
ing very sweet idea of sacrifice
and two attractive romances. The
spiritual side is little stressed.
though the mother spirit pushing the
daughter on to make a sacrifice for
her brother is the means of bringing
on the tensely dramatic situation
that is found in the latter part of the
story( Ethel Clayton is cast as a
sensitive and spiritual girl wife who
almost sacrifices everything for a
promise to her dying mother. Charles
Meredith is the husband much in love
with his pretty wife.
The locale of this production Is
England, and beautiful and massive
English architecture is seen in the
homes of the characters.

II. o. Beane OF Canaan Tells of His
Crops. Active In Agricultural
Organizations

Outstanding features in agricultur-
al pursuits at the farm OF II. u. beane.
three quarters of q mile from Canaan
village are bean raising and Hunga-
rian crops. There are 80 acres in the
place, a part OF which is in growing
wood and lumber with some ten acres
of growing pine. General farming Is
not extensive at the Beane farm but
beans constitute one OF the banner
crops on the place. He markets this
product at the Farmers Union and
has been successful in obtaining dol
lar more per bushel than others Offer
ing the same commodity for sale. He
has raised as many as 20 bushels in
year. In a recent interview with Mr..
Beane the agricultural editor asked
him his method and his reply was,
IL raise beans the easiest way l can
The beans are planted with planter
and cultivated before they come up.
and in doing so the trench in which
they are planted is filed. He then
keeps the cultivator going but never
takes hoe onto the piece as he pulls
by hand the weeds that grow between
the hills which the cultivator cannot
reach. He uses common grade fertil-
izer. Another specially of Mr.. Beane's
Is his Hungarian. From his yield from
five acres he kept Ave cows from the
time they came from the pasture until
April, feeding twice a day. He sows no
grain but uses the Hungarian for seed
ing purposes entirely. He finds that
il drys in as good condition as any
other hay crop, only that 1t requires
longer making process. After 1t Is
cut he let's it stay out sometimes a
week before housing 1t but cocks it
up rather than let it stay in the swath
for any great length OF time. Two tons
of Hungarian to an acre is a good ay-
erage. Mr. Beane keeps five grade
Jersey cows, small flock of hens and
pair of work horses. There is a
small orchard on the place but fruit
Is not grown to any extent.
Mr.. Beane moved from Wellington
I'd his present farm nine years ago.
He believes he has made as many
improvements In the tillage land as
any farmer in the county during that
time. That he has been industrious Is
indicated by the extensive improve
ments which he has made on the
buildings which are now freshly
painted, while the fences have all been
built new BY Mr.. Beane. Fifteen acres
which were entirely covered with
stones have been picked and moved
into substantial walls. and now there
Is scarcely stone to, be seen ON the
whole area. Winters Mr.. Beane cuts
more or less wood and lumber. He
gives special attention to dairying.
Beside attending to the manifold
duties which occupy the time Of an
energetic agriculturist, Mr.. Beane
buys and sells farms, having handled
three in the last three years. He is
thoroughly interested in farmers or
