upon his plantation near Marlboro,
Md. There are also In the house
six Chippendale chairs and a Shera-
ton sideboard which were used by DR..
BeaneS In his Maryland home.
A stirring and dramatic story, little
known. has to do with this great
uncle, whom Miss Mary describes as
"a skilled physician and a man of
wide influence in his community, but
headstrong autocrat." 1t used to
be said of him that nobody can
put up fence or even set up post
anywhere near Marlboro without hav-
ing to talk with DR.. Beanes." He
was intensely loyal and patriotic to
the American cause during the early
days when independence was not yet
assured. The British and all their
ways were anathema to him and he
vehemently abused them, In season
and out, to any one who would listen.
His rash utterances proved his un-
doing. One afternoon a group of
British sailors, without warning, in
vaded his home and took him to Bal
timore where he was put aboard a
British man-of-War. CONSERVATION
reigned In the wake>of his imprison-
ment. Distressed relatives, friends
and nelghborS went to Washington
and to Georgetown. Finally, Francis
Scott Key, friend and family con-
nection, was prevailed upon to inter-
oede with the British authorities for
DR.. Beanes' release. After many

called The Red Devil Of the Chesa-
peake," lying off Fort McHenry, where
DR.. Beanes was held a prisoner of
war. Mr.. Key scarcely had presented
his credentials and made his plea for
Dr. Beanes' release when he was told
py the ships captain that it would
be necessary to detain him for the
night, since the British were about
to lombard Fort McHenry. It was
after the uncertainty of that night
that Key wrote Americas now i'm
mortal anthem, THE Star Spangled
Banner" The afternoon of that day
DR.. Beanes was given over into the
safe keeping of Mr. Key and the two
men were put ashore at Baltimore.
Quaint Cross Stitching.
Standing upon DR.. Beanes walnut

stitched by her grandmother, Mary
Middleton. 1t was the painstaking
work OF little Mary Middleton while
she was a student at the Southern

been compiled from the records of
the family Bible. In painstaking

No Monument Needed.
Miss Mary cherishes the story Of
how a group of Georgetown friends
once went to old DR.. Tyler who lived
at N (Gay) and Thirtieth (Washing-

a monument should be erected to her
aunt, Mrs. Magruder. DR.. Tyler dis
missed the suggestion with the re-

needs no monument. Her good deeds
and acts of kindness live after her
as one in the memories Of the people
of this town." There are still those

Potter added, such plan might do
more harm than goood to the con-
struction industry.
High interest rates have been the
''bugaboo" of the real estate business
for years, Potter declared, and the
time has come when capital must be
willing to accept a lower rate of
return for its use. He explained that
this cannot be done abruptly but the
trend throughout the country Is in
that direction. and added that before

EDITORIAL PAGE
and
FEATURES
HERE ARE TWO BETS

General Pelham D. Glassford, trained
by the army, has not forgotten the old
army game and has deftly passed the
buck to the board of supervisors of In
perial county, in the squabble that has
centered around him, particularly in the
past week or 10 days.
The general, in departing from Imper-
. ial Valley, sent to the supervisors re-
port containing numerous recommends
tions concerning improvement in labor
conditions here, urged the ousting of at
, least one county official, charged others
! with being in conspiracy with the grow
ers to manipulate the laborers and urged
a grand jury investigation, conducted
with the aid of deputy from the at
torney generals office into acts of vio-
lence which have occurred here in the
past few months.
Being without any authority to order
the supervisors to take the actions he
recommends, it remains discretionary
with the supervisors whether they will
act on the recommendations, condemn
them, or "file" them. Whatever action
is taken will reflect the boards opinion
of the general S recommendations and in
cidentally its opinion of the general him
self. This being so we would place bet
on the "file" disposition of his recon-
mendationS.
The supervisors, in the final analysis,
represent the people of Imperial county.
If the people wish to carry out the rec
mendations of the general they will
make known their wishes to the super
visors. If they prefer to forget them
they will be forgotten. readily and ef-
fectively.
Again, if bets are in order, we will risk
dime that the people will not demand
any action on the recommendations.
The best joke of the year is our own
headline of June 16, peace agreement
ends strike of longshoremen.
District collections indicate that there
is still dime or two in the old stock
