Kendrick Lifted Self) From Saddle to High Place In Politics Sheridan, Wyo., Nov. 4.—(P)—A flood of messages Saturday brought the nation’s condolences as Wyoming mourned the death of its senior United States Senater, John B. Ken- arick. The 76-year-old dean of the sen- ate, a Democrat, frequently described as “lifting himself by his bootstraps” to a place as one of the leading fig- ures of Wyoming, died late Friday. Physicians said ‘his death probably was due to cerebral hemorrhage. Kendricks political career started} in 1910 when he was elected to the state senate.

Bronzed by the sun and wind of the orairies, even after years of service at Washington, Senator Kendrick was a; man of the West. He was six feet, tall and of a powerful, muscular frame and body.

Principal features of the Achieve- ment Day program were the home economics contests in the afternoon, the annual banquet staged by the Bismarck Rotary club, at which 326 plates of “turkey and trimmin’s” were served, and the entertainment pro- jgram at the auditorium, at which clubs offered musical presentations and skits.

Other officers named included Lee Sund- quist of Wilton, vice president; Miss Audrey Pederson of Driscoll, secre- tary; and Miss Bernice Bliss of Mc- *Xenzie, treasurer. Speaking at the banquet, Miss Pau- line Reynolds of the extension divi- sion of the state agricultural college, who judged the home economics ex- hibits, called attention to “the fine display” shown by the Wing Clothing club. It was the outstanding exhibit of the show, she said. The best individual exhibit, she said, was shown by Miss Aldythe Mc- Cullough of the Thrifty-Nifty club at Still.

D., was to be carried to President Roosevelt Saturday afternoon by a} group of prominent Democrats of the state. The president agreed to meet the delegation at the White House. Among those who will visit him are | Fred W. McLean, chairman of the ;Democratic state committee and chairman of the home loan bank of North Dakota; Miss Nellie Daugher- ty, Democratic national committee- | | director of the Missouri River Diver- sion association, and Gus Lamb, |president of the North Dakota Tax-! payers’ association. i} The committee is part of the dele-; gation of North Dakotans who have ‘@ppeared twice this week before the Mississippi valley committee of the public works administration to press the plea of the Dakotas for the proj- ect. Present Arguments Friday A plea for the project was made before the Mississippi valley commit- tee of the public works administra- tion Friday by a delegation of mid- dle westerners. The committee was presented for ; Works money for the construction of ja dam near Garrison, N. D. | A vast storage tank there would jback up the waters of the Missouri | {river for 150 miles and provide a res- ervoir for Devils Lake and steady flow for the Sheyenne and James ers. Frank W. Murphy, regional direc- tor of public works for the fourth dis- writ, traced the evolution of the two wheat growing states from a period 50 years ago, when water was abundant in lakes and rivers, to their present State of aridity and grasshopper | plagues. | “Yo project before the public works | department is so packed with ro- mance and tragedy,” he said. “The cam will have to be buillt, a way will have to be found.” Six States Support It Murphy said the project had the unanimous support of the six states in his district — Minnesota, North and South Dakota, Iowa, Wyoming and) Nebraska. i The Missouri river, Murphy said, had caused much damage through the years and no provision had been made to hold back the flood waters. At the same time the ground water was slow- ly receding, droughts were annual oc- currences and the Missouri’s abun- dant flow was being wasted. Senator Nye, (Rep.. N. D.), explain- ed that the era was not naturally arid bu’ is highly productive and fertile.

These birds, he seid, now migrate. “Without diversion of water, there will be no farm homes,” he declared, in favor of the project. SARRAUT FACES FIGHT Paris, Nov, 4—(?)—The new gov- ernment of Premier Albert Sarraut,! safely over its first hurdle with a panies, and there is nothing left for him.” Here’s How Parity Would Affect Price Washington, Nov. 4—(7)—If the Roosevelt administration adopted the price-fixing program of five midwest governors, these prices ‘would be paid farmers for six com- modities compared with their aver- age farm price as of October 18: Commodity Parity Oct, 18 Beef cattle, per cwt. $6.70 Hogs, per cwt....... 8.50 Wheat, per bushel .. 1.03 Corn, per bushel 0.75 Butterfat, per Ib. 0.30 Milk, per ewt. .. 2.08 Would Cost Too Much Asked what the result would be, Langer said, “it will mean continued distress in farm regions. Governor Olson of Minnesota, who acted as spokesman for the state ex- ecutives, said “the president rejected the plan for the same reasons which the department of agriculture gave yesterday—principally because he be- eves a large sum of money would be required, which is not available for buying products at fixed prices to support the market.” Olson said he believed this objec- tion was invalid, that no government. purchases would be necessary and that surplusses _ inste: could be “backed up on the farms. In his opinion, Olson said, rejection of the plan will mean that “there will be a great deal of disturbance in the mid-west farming sections unless Prices for this year’s crop are sub- stantially raised soon.” The White House statement said the governors declared themselves able to put over in their states “a pro- gram which amounts substantially to ithe licensing of every plowed field and marketing by a ticket punch sys- tem of all grain and livestock.” It then went on to question whether the governors’ proposal would be ac- ceptable to farmers in other states. “The effect of adoption of the gov- ernors’ plan, even if successful in the mid-west,” the statement said, “might be that the very states the governors are trying to help might be left hold- ing the bag while other states ex- banded production.” The administration made a defense of its present farm program, ex- plaining its plan is based onthe pay- Ment pt Benet to those farmers who volunt ly cooperate in adjusting Production to t' e market.
