To the Editor of the BEACON:

To the Editor of the BEACON:
AS a citizen Of the county and
a lifelong Democrat, / would
like to avail myself of the privi-
lege extended in your editorial
of last week to say something
through your columns to the
Democratic voters of st. Mary's
regarding the candidacy of Mr..
George c. beverley for State
Senator.
The party is fortunate in hav-
-----.s-~~.k~s~8Asvsssts-C command
for him the most careful con.
sideration. In farming, the foun.
dation of the county's industrial
structure and the source of its
prosperity and welfare, he has
been conspicuously successful.
His career as farmer is charac-
teristic of the mana happy
faculty of blending theory and
practice, taking the best of the
scientific suggestions and apply
ing them in a common-sense.
practical manner.
Mr.. beverley is, however, bet
ter known as a lumber dealer.
In this field he has been an
agency for the utilization and de-
velopment of one of our most i'm
portant natural resources. Thro-
ugh his extensive operations, en-
ployment has been furnished to
hundreds of men and some hum
dreds of thousands of dollars have
flowed into the county from out
side sources. His payroll for
several years has been probably
the largest in st. Mary's and his
disbursements for this purpose
and in the purchase of wood and
timber have been so widely dis
triDuted that nearly every section
of the county has shared its |
benefits.
AS vice-president of the Me-
Gainesville Bank of the Eastern
Shore Trust Company; treasurer
Of the Washington, Brandywine |
and Point Lookout Railroad Com |
pany; director of the recently
formed Southern Maryland Co
Operative Creamery Companv
and a member of the MARYLAND |
Tobacco Growers Association
and other organizations, he has
shown his deep interest in every
phase of commercial and com
munity life.
Couple with the foregoing his
valuable experience gained in two
terms in the House of Delegates.
ne looms as the logical can
dldate to represent st. Mary's in
the next Senate.

FARMERS ASK FOR BEER
SO as To Help Them Market Their
Grain Crop.

Washington, July 1S.-Urging that
2.75 per cent, beer is not intoxicating
and insisting that the failure to per-
nit the manufacture of such beer
means loss of at least $30,000000
yearly to the farmers. growing bar
ley in Minnesota alone, representa-
tives of the farmers of that state APP
peared before the Senate and House
joint committee considering the needs
of agriculture. They declared that
the farmers wanted prohibition modi-
fed to permit the sale of 2.75 per cent
bee;.
r. H. Jones, speaking for the Min
nesota grain dealers, quoted figures
to show the loss in barley production
in Minnesota. He related cOnversa-
tons he had had with farmers, who
he said, all expressed themselves as
against the prohibition law He said
that sentiment among the farmers ap
peared so widespread that the Mime
sofa committee had decided to sound
sentiment in the other grain-raising
states. To that end petitions will be
circulated among the farmers In
Minnesota, the two Dakotas, Iowa and
Wisconsin, asking them to request
legalization for 2.75 per cent. beer,
He read a draft Of the petition now
being circulated which among other
things, quoted physicians as saying
that 275 per cent beer was not intoX-
icating. Another argument advanced
in the petition was that 275 per cent
beer would prevent bootlegging and
improve the health OF the boys who
were now using bad whiskey and sub
stitutes.
Are the brewers behind this
move?" he was asked
"Not at all" he replied. ut had its
inception in the idea that good beer
OF 2.75 per cent. would not be harmful
and that the manufacture OF such
beer would revive the barley-growing
industry"
II think, added Mr.. Jones, that
YOU should demonstrate that beer hay
ing 2.75 per cent, alcohol is not intox-
icating by having demonstration
squad under the direction OF this
committee and the board of food and
drugs OF the department of agricul'
ture."
