lation in the land will not be toll

Weeds Irk Farmers
At meeting of local No. 25s of

day evening, part of the session

weed control. Several members
complained OF the inroads being
made on farms from the spread of
Canadian thistles and a motion
was passed that the county agents
office be contacted in an effort to
have program for the elimination
of all noXious weeds. A suggestion
will be made to the agent that he
appoint a committee from various
organiza tons to make study of
the matter so that action may be
taken when weeds begin TO grow
in the spring.
Announcement was made by
President Carl Forslund that the

M The Local Theateys
STATE

Based upon the prison scandal which amazed New York city and localities several years ago in the Warner Bros. picture "Blackwells s Island" opening today at Warner Bros. State theater for three-day showing.
 It concerns the cleanup of New York's city jail back in 1884 when Welfare Island, formerly known as Blackwell's Island, housed all the short-term prisoners sentenced from the great metropolis. The raid oc- cured in February of that year. when a considerable supply of nar- cotics was uncovered together with hypodermic needles, blackened spoons and gouges with which in mates without syringes gashed themselves in order to administer narcotics.
 It was found that 68 prisoners, virtually ruled the "pen" selling choice vegetables and meats to 500 of the inmates who were able to pay for them.
 The film gains additional interest from the fact that 1t presents John Garfield, who came to public at tention in his debut as screen &C., tor in -Four Daughters" and more recently as tn" star of"They Made Me a Criminal.
 This time the young newcomer is the central character of the story and naturally the star of the pic- ture. His part is altogether different from the character he played in his first picture and is seen as dy- mamie young newspaper reporter who sets out to bring to justice a gang leader and his henchmen who have murdered a policeman and to expose and correct the fantastic conditions at the city jail on Black wells Island.
 In order to achieve his objective it is necessary for him to get him. self sentenced to the prison where he is subjected to a series of perse- cutions which, it is planned by the gang leader, will end with his death.
 Managing to escape he lays his evidence before the proper authori- ties and the sensational raid is the result.
 In addition to the star the cast includes Rosemary Lane, Stanley Field, Victor Jory and Dick Pur- cell among others.
 On the same show is picture that will have you laughing from start to finish "Never Say Die" with Bob Hope and Martha Rave in the co-starring leads.
 Don't forget to see the great epic Union Pacific" starring Joel Mo- Crea and Barbara Stanwyck conn., ing to the State on Fiday. Make a date right now to attend the opening performances.

FARMERS HONOR
 PATRON SAINT

San Ysidro, N. M., May 16-(UP) -Feasting and dancing by the Span ish-American settlers in this tiny Mesilla valley village ended shortly before dawn today, and participants went home convinced that this years crops would be better than ever.
 Each spring scores of farmers bring their families. here to pay homage to their patron saint, San Ysidro, and to ask that he bring them bountiful harvests of alfalfa, corn and cotton. A poor crop year seldom is experienced in the fertile Rio Grande country. Natives say that is because San Ysidro is looking after them.
 The fiesta began with early mass yesterday. It continued with the customary carrying of a wooden statue of San Ysidro through the fields. Four men were selected to carry the statue, the remainder trailing behind. singing songs and chanting ritualistic verses.

them for their insurance, charged that Kelley's office had permitted 15 suspects to escape and had call- ed the G-Men to rectify the mis- takes.
 The exact place of the federal agents in the case remained some what in doubt. Hoover said in Washington that all facilities of the FBI were at the disposal of Phila- delphia authorities but as yet he had received no formal request for them.
 Dies of Natural Causes
 Assistant District Attorney Vim cent P. McDevitt, announced that an autopsy on the body of Gaenao Peno, 35, of Salem, N. J., disclosed that he died of natural causes in Philadelphia General hospital last Monday. Detectives had been search ing for Peno while he lay on his death bed, to question him regard ing the death of his first wife, Jen- nie, thought to have been among the victims of the merchants of death. Authorities believed Peno had been given arsenic to seal his lips.
 The G-Men were expected to aid in the search for six fugitives, des- cribed as key figures in the murder syndicate. One of the fugitives is Mrs. Rose Carina, the alleged pro- fessional widow with the "kiss of death" who gave her favors to in- surable bachelors and widowers. She is known to have been in New Jer. sey since warrant for her arrest on murder charges was issued here

fire mushroomed from the wooden platform along the wooden ceiling, southerly to the old Auditorium, where a large furniture storehouse is located.
 Fire Chief Assisted
 Chief Cavanaugh was assisted by Deputy Chief Martin J. Campion, while Capt. Joseph J. Kelley, drill master, and Acting Deputy Chief Steven J. Bloomfield, both of whom were off duty, quickly reported to assist the officers in charge.
 Police Superintendent William j.. Roach, Deputy Supt. Daniel J. Car son, and Captain Fred Hickey, night superintendent directed police ham, ding the crowds which gathered on South Main, Grand, and Canal streets.
 Fire Marshal Den Lahey and Lieut. Eugene A. Legge, of his staff, investigated. The cause of the blaze which apparently started on the wooden loading platform has not been determined, but it is believed that rubbish sometimes piled there may have started the fire.
 The blaze from the top was fought by firemen who climbed up the 85- foot ladder of the new aerial truck from South Main street.
 Private Walter Whitaker, head quarters station ladderman injured his thumb while attmepting to open a drain in the cellar of the Milano store, and was treated by the de- partment surgeon, Dr. Edward Fitz- patrick.

France Wants Russia


 France also emphasized the key position of the Soviets in the anti aggression lineup when Premier Edouard Dalladier and Foreign Minister Georges Bonnet worked on 8 compromise plan which they may offer to Moscow and London. The Paris government has put pressure on London to reach an agreement with Moscow and a strong section of the British House of com mons also is seeking to influence the Chamberlain cabinet to speed up negotiations. The general be- lief in diplomatic circles was that an agreement eventually would be reached. A survey of developments in the smaller capitals disclosed a broad-scale contest for commercial superiority.
 Economic Battle On Germany and Great Britain are taking the lead in the economic ne- gotiations which extend to almost every small nation in Europe. The Nazi drive is designed to increase and consolidate their sphere of eco- homie influence and the British ef- forts are designed to offset the de- pendence of the small nations on Germany to prevent them from be- ing forced entirely into the Berlin orbit.
 Loans, trade agreements and com- mercial concessions are the weapons used and Rumania, where Britain has been granted almost the same economic privileges as Germany, is the main geld of contest at the moment.
 Adolf Hitler and Italian Foreign Minister Count Galeazzo Ciano are scheduled to make important declar- ations probably emphasizing the unity of their armed forces-when the new Italian-German military alliance is concluded at a formal demonstration in Berlin next week. Hitler has been on tour of the new Qualifications along Germany'S Rhineland frontier while Italian Premier Benito Mussolini, making 8 similar tour on the Italian French border, was understood to plan sta- tioning of a big aerial combat force g miles from the French frontier.
 Poland Is Jubilant
 In Warsaw, the Poles claimed a signal triumph in a statement by a Ukrainian leader, Vladimir Cele- wicz, head of the parliamentary minority, supporting the govern ments attitud2 toward Germany. The Ukranians had been agitating for independence but, according to Celewicz, the fate, of Czechoslovagia in the Nazi Sphere has convinced them that they would rather live with the Poles than become a Ger man prctectorate which means enslavement."
 Spain prepared for a big military display on Friday when General Francisco Franco stages his "vic- tory parade" at Madrid, after which he has promised that German and Italian troops will leave Spain
