AT LEAST TWO OF
LEGISLATORS ARE
+. "FROM THE FARM"

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. S.-Two of
the new members Of the assembly are
genuine "on-the-soil" farmers who
are taking their first steps in politics.
These are Senators F. H. Kendall Of
Norwich. who defeated Senator Ham
ilton, Democrat and Lacquer, by a
margin of SO votes. and Senator H. H.
Senator John ". Paulson Of Trail
county, one Of the noblest Romans of
all the old stalwart crew.
Senator Kendall has farmed or
ranched for twelve years in the vi
cinity of Norwich, whittier he came
when that section Of the state was
new, from southern Minnesota. Sena-
tor Hamilton has filed with the legis-
lature a demand for a recount of the
votes cast in the recent election, and
pending a decision on this matter
Senator Kendall will not bring to
Bismarck his wife and two children.
They expect to join him, however, as
soon as the contest is determined.
c~anvassing board are verified. Sena-
tor Kendall is an out-and-out farmer
who never before has sought public
office. He is young, but conservative,
and would appear to have the max
ings of a good legislator.
Senator McNatr;5 as his names indi-
Gates, is of Scotch ancestry. Members
of his family settled all over the
middle west in the early days. For
many years Senator McNair has
farmed in the vicinity Of Portland,
where he has made good. Although
he has long been prominent in neigh
borhood councils, he never sought
public office until last spring. when
he ran for the Republican nomination
for senator from the Eighth district,
with the endorsement of the league,
and he nosed out Senator John F.
Paulson, who was seeking reelection.
Senator McNair comes to the assembly
as a thorough-going Lacquer, but he
possesses broad views as to the duty
of a statesman to his constituents. and
a good record is predicted for him.

son today told Senator Hitchcock, ad
ministration leader in the senate, that
he would be entirely satisfied with
any reservations supporters of the
treaty might feel justified in accept
ing, provided they did not nullify the
League of Nations covenant, and
were designed for the purpose of in

The president, Senator Hitchcock
said, expressed "his very strong ap-
proval" of what had Leen done to
date, and agreed that no compromise
should be offered unless a deadlock
was reached OH the resolution of rati-

the pragram as first, to endeavor to
defeat the reservations reported by
the foreign relation committee; if
that failed, to vote down resolution
Of ratification containing them; then

Senator Hitchcock was summoned
to the white house by president to

EUGENE ORR,
PAROLED, OFF
TOSTART OVER

A happy man left Sumter county
this morning-not because Sumter
county was displeasing, but because
he was going home.
The man was Eugene Orr, young
convict trusty, who has been in
charge of the county's commissary
for the last year and half, and
whose parole, signed several weeks
ago by Governor Dorsey, cutting his
three year term for confessed en-
bezzlement in half, became effective
today.
Orr, who has enjoyed the favor
of a large circle of Sumter county's
best people, who knew his story and
regarded him as largely victim of
circumstances whose place was not
in prison, started early this morning
for his old home in Atlanta, from
which place he was sentenced to pris-
on. Last evening his sister and her
husband came to Americus by auto,
and the three started early, leaving
prison and unhappiness behind. They
expected to reach Atlanta by noon
or shortly thereafter.
Last evening Orr, attired in nat
ty suit and happy at his near-free-
dom, made the rounds of his friends
and benefactors here, telling them
goodbye and assuring them of his
deep thanks for their aid to him.
Orr said he was ready to begin all
over. He was light-hearted and
hopeful of the future, and it is said
he has position waiting for him in
Atlanta, where he is still trusted by
those who know him, despite the
prison stigma Under the terms OF
his parole he must remain in the
state until the expiration of his sen.
tence, 18 months hence.
Orr's place at the county stockage
has been taken by Bernard Meow
an, until recently cashier of the Ma
con electric company, who has begun
serving a FIVE year sentence for EN-

Subs criptions Started.
The stock books were opened near
the close of the meeting yesterday,
and those present began calling out
the amounts they desired to subscribe.
Practically every man making a sub
scription stated that the subscription
was only beginner, that he would
double or treble it later. "It is our
desire that every man in the county
and in the adjoining counties be given
an opportunity to come in on this
proposition" John Sheffield said. ''The
more men who own stock the more
hogs we shall have to kill in our
plant" W. I. Calhoun said as he put
down his subscription for several
thousand dollars. AS the subscrip-
tions rolled in John Sheffield called
out to the chairman to double his
subscription, and others present
said that they were ready to double
after the county had been given an
opportunity.
Today Chairman Hixon has been

At the time of going to press The

stock already taken, for committees
were all out and were not to report
until their territory had been COM
