MISS BERTHA maxwell
WINS MEDAL CONTEST

The following essay was written by
Miss Bertha Maxwell of Stanton and
won the medal offered by the French
Baby Committee of Haywood county
for the best essay on Joan Of Arc.
There were quite number of contest
ants. Miss Maxwell is to be congratu-
lated on her victory.
Joan of Arc.
Among the heroines whose noble
deeds adorn the pages of history, per-
haps the name of Joan of Are gives
the brightest halo; she being one with
a vision and to that vision proving
true. She was born in France in the
little village of Domremy on January
6, 14l2. Being the third child of an
obscure peasant family and having
but spare opportunity at an educa-
ton, she, while assisting her mother
with the sewing and spinning learned
much of the most sacred and essential
things of life, namely true religion.
She proved her religion by her kind
and loving ways, and was considered
by everyone the best girl in the village.
When the poor fugitives reached the
hamlet, she kindly assisted in receiv-
ing them by often giving her bed to
them and herself sleeping in the hay
loft. Her kindred, too, were once fore
ed to flee from their home to return
and find their town sacked, home de-
vastated and the church burned See
ing all of this, Joan really knew what
war meant.
One summer day, when about thir-
teen years of age, Joan was in the gar
den near the old church with her ia
Their when she fancied she had a vision
and was startled by dazzling light
and heard voice saying, BE a good
child, Joan, and go often to church.
She was greatly frightened and again
she saw the light and heard the voice
This time it seemed in the figure of an
old counsellor, who said to her, "Joan
go to the aid of the king of France
and thou wilt restore him to his king.
DOM" She was very much frightened
at this vision and answered trembling.
ly, my Lord, | am but a poor girl,
cannot ride the war-horse or lead the
men-at-arms. But the voice urged
her on, telling her that certain saint:
would accompany her. The sadness:
which engulfed her seemed but a pre-
monition of what the future had il
store for her and indeed the shadow
of her funeral pyre seemed already
cast before her path.
Joan had often heard an ancient
prophecy that a woman should destroy
the kingdom and a maid of Lorraine
should save it and she believed thai
she had had this call. Another vision
came to her. This time she saw
number of saints robed in white, sur

ot the army, and the opposing forces
withdrew and the bastille was carried
This was Joan's first victory and in
thanksgiving she declared that she
would take communion on the morrow
and spend the day in prayer.
During the several days that the
battle continued Joan was struck by
an arrow between the neck and shout

to be poured on the wound. No fur
Their progress was made that day but
the battle was renewed the next day,
but only for short time, as the Eng
nsh leaders, Suffolk and Talbot, gave
up in despair, therefore Joan's army
was victorious.
The next day being Sunday, May s,
She had an altar erected on a plain,
Just in sight Of the town, at which
mass was celebrated and the people
returned thanks to God in the pres
ence of the enemy. This deliverence
of Orleans had a wonderful effect on
the people-veryone believed it was
the agency Of supernatural powers.
Some attributed it to the devil but
the majority to God. 1t began to be
generally believed that Charles VII
had right on his side.
Joan left Orleans on the 18th Of
May and hurried to the court Of Tours
TO ask the king for an army to pre-
coed to Rheims. To be led to Rheims
and crowned would have meant decis-
i've victory for Charles VII and his
young competitor, Henry vi, and his
army were very much opposed but af-
ter battling for about two months
Joan came out victorious and led
Charles to Rheims, where he was
crowned on July II, 1929 She had
now fulfilled her mission and wished
to return to her home, but Charles in
sisted on her remaining with the army
thinking that success would remain
with her.
In the following spring the Burgun-
dians took Joan prisoner and sold her
to the English, who put her in prison.

ters and claims for such arrears
should be addressed to the Auditor of
the War Department, Claims Division,
Washington. Such claim should give
the relationship to the deceased and
the Auditors Department will there
upon mail the proper form blank to
be completely filled out.
In like manner, there is no neces-
sity for employing a lawyer to obtain
the insurance on government War
Risk Insurance Policy taken out by
a deceased soldier. Claims for such
insurance should give the name of the
deceased, his rank, and the organiza-
ton to which he belonged such as
army, navy, marine corps, etc. State
ment should be made as to when and
where the deceased died. Upon re-
ceipt of this information the Bureau
of War Risk Insurance will send to
the beneficiary proper papers for fill
ing the claim.
There is no objection to any claim
ant employing the services of a law
yer in connection with these matters.
1t is entirely a matter of personal
business, but the federal department
is clear in its statement that there is
no need for such employment.

of Joseph c. Reiser, a policeman who
was shot while attempting to arrest a

TOOTH BRUSHES

New York, March 25-The people

American manufacturers of the
brushes can hope to find a profitable
market for their product abroad, ac-
cording to William Cordes of Flor
ence, Mass, who was a witness here
today at an inquiry into the brush
industry by the United States tariff
commission. Mr.. Cordes said he re-
Gently sought to open a trade in Eur
ope for tooth brushes, but was told
that only about 10 per cent of the

turing enterprises have Jared under
the stress of war and their prospects
after the war.

WILDE GREAT Event
Many t)l&Time Residents OI
City Send Word They Are
Coming Saturday

The Homecoming for the old timers
and for natives of Oregon to be cele-
brated in Salem next Saturday is as
snming large proportions and from the
number of those interested, and the
invitations sent cut the day viii be
ene when the old timers from all parts
of the state viii meet to talk over the
days of so. years ago or more. At the
meeting held last evening, Justice
George H. Burnett was elected chair
man in charge of the arrangements for
the day.
The program includes special reeep-
ton committees to meet the visitors
and a dinner in Wilson park, besides
automobile rides about the city. For
mer Governor T. 7. Geer has accepted
the invitation to speak and other old
timers will be called on for short talks.
Mrs. G. w. Belt of Spokane, has writ
ten that she will attend and sing sew
eral of the songs most loved by the
Oregon pioneers. Mrs. Halle Parrish
Durdan will also sing, and Miss Bea-
triee Shelton will furnish instrumental
music.
Word has been received by the com
mittee from former SalemiteS from all
parts of the Pacific northwest that
they will be here, many being expected
from as far away as Spokane and Sc
attic.
Large Crowd is Expected
Efforts will be made to arrange for
a special train from Portland so that
the visitors may arrive here in body.
Members of the committee declare
that, every returning Salemite will be
accorded hearty reception upon his
arrival here, and the members hope to
make the welcome rousing one to
all of the "home-comers."
Because of the many hundreds OF
former residents of this city scattered
about the Pacific northwest, it was
deemed impractieable to send out per-
sonal invitations, and the committee
is depending largely upon the press te
notify former residents of the city OF
the good time in store for them next
Saturday, and urge upon them that the
notice through the press may be con
sidered as personal invitation to
come.
