Gallery of Art under the auspices Of the Society
of Washington Artists Miss Muhlhofer was
awarded the Popular Prize of 500 for one of

ORLEANS HON0RING
JOAN pARC MEMORY
Ancient City in France Has
Honored Saviour Every
Year Since 1895

Orleans, France, May 7.-tR-This
ancient city, scene of Joan of Arcs
first military success and from which
she took her title of Maid, of Or
leans" Thursday did signal honor to
the memory of its saviour, as it has
done every year since 1435.
The descendants of those citizens
she rescued from the besieging British
had their houses adorned with the
national tricolor and the standard of
the city, embroidered with the fleurs
de lis that Joan carried on her ban
ners. The house where Joan is sup
posed to have lived during the siege
of 1929 was opened to visitors.
Orleans was determined to make its
celebration of particular distinction.
Solemn high mass, with the attend
ance of Archbishop Courcoux, was
sung in the cathedral, n of the most
beautiful in all France. Services were
held in st. Joan's own commemorative
church; built only SO years ago.
Friday, the actual anniversary Of the
deliverance of Orleans in 1929, will see
a procession in which all elements OF
the community's life will be repre-
sented and a torchlight parade in the
evening.

Leafy Spurge Weed
May Prove Big Pest

Leafy spurge, a serious new weed
appearing in small patches near Far
go, Darlington, Willow City, Ray.
Wahpeton, Hazeltcn, Thompson, Rug
by, Hannaford, Portland and Mona,
ranks with quack grass, perennial sow
thistle and the field bindweed as n
of the most difficult to eradicate. AL
though appearing in limited areas In
North Dakota at the present time,
leafy spurge may present a serious
problem to farmers of the state if al
lowed to gain Roadway, points out DR..
Herbert G. Hanson, head of botanical
work at the Agricultural college.
This weed, a perennial that repro
ducers both by seeds and creeping
roots, has proven troublesome IL
meadows, pastures, cultivated fields
and in grain fields from Maine to
Colorado. In New York state it gives
the most trouble on the light and
well-drained soils, but grows well also
on the heavy clay soils.
It is much more efficient and eco
nomical to prevent the spread of
leafy spurge into new areas than to
eradicate it from the places where it
has gotten a start, states DR.. Hanson.
In order to prevent its spread, seed
should not be planted that contains
any seed Of this weed. No hay, grain
or straw should be transferred from
q field containing this weed to a farm
free from the pest.

against tobacco over-production with
the notice that financial ruin faces
many growers.
Growers of hurley and flue-cured

Letter Has Caused
Discussion in Spain

Madrid, May 7.-R)-Archbishop
Pedro Segura's pastoral letter urging
Catholics to participate in the coming
elections for a constituent parliament
aroused considerable discussion
Thursday in religious and political
quarters. +.
The archbishop, SPANS highest
ecclestical authority, said in his let
ter from Toledo Wednesday that
Catholics should elect deputies "who
will defend and guarantee the rights
of the church" which he described as
being in a VERY grave" position under
the republican government.
Catholic observers interpreted his
message as a defense of the church's
rights rather than an affront to the
regime as seen by some officials.
