GAME CODE AMENDED.
Senator Johnson succeeded in
amending the game code to exclude
from section fifteen the counties ly-
ing east of the mountains. This sec-
tion provides that it shall be unlaw-
ful for any person to have with him,
either loose or in leash, any dog in
the wooded sections of the counties
during the time in each year when
it is unlawful to hunt deer in such
county, without having first obtained
and being in force a written permit
so to do, issued by the unanimdus
action or vote of the game commis-
sioners of such county.
It was argued by JohnSon, Swof-
ford, Myers and Hall, that the
amendment as originally drafted,
precluded the possibility of a man
ever taking a dog into the woods,
even for company's sake, during the
deer season, and that this would also
prevent any hunter from hunting
birds with dogs (luring the same
season. Bishop declared that the sec-
tion was necessary for the protection
of deer on the West Side, and Palmer
explained that the section was writ-
ten by Representative Mark Reed of
Mason County• Hall believed that
"with the right kind of dog it should
be lawful" to hunt deer anywhere."
Myers explained that he had agreed
to the insertion of the section as
written a the meeting of the state
game wardens, held last December
but that he was personally in agree-
ment with Senator Johnson in rela-
tion to the amendment. "In drawing
up a code like this there had to be
some compromise," said Myers, "and
this was one of them."
FARM WAGES DOUBLE
IN PAST TEN YEARS
Washington, Feb. 26.--Wages of
hired men on farms have more than
doubled in the last ten years, tripled
in the last twenty years and were
more than four times higher last
year than they were in 1879. These
changes are shown by statistics of
the department of agriculture.
Wages paid by the month, without
board, averaged $64.95 for the coun-
tT as a whole last year, ten years
ago they averaged $27.50 and in ]879
they were $10.43.
Day labor at harvest tlme last
year averaged $4.36 without board
and at other than harvest time, $3.59.
Ten years ago harvest time labor was
paid $1.82 and at other than harvest
time $1.38. In 1894 harvest time day
labor was paid $1.13 and nonhaTest
time labor 81 cents a day.
California and Nevada faners
paid their labor the highest prices
for labor without board, the average
in those states last year having been
Swl:: a month. The lowest average
in Missisippi, where $41 was
paid. The average for the country
as a whole was $64.95, the North-
ern Atlantic States averaged $75.54,
the South Atlantic $50.56, the North-
east Central States $70.09, the North-
of weeks• west Central States $79.79, the

IDENTS ONLY ONE ELECTED
ON BIRTHDAY
Warren G. Harding, who takes
office today as the twenty-ninth presi-
dent of the United States, is the first
president to be elected to that high
office on his birthday. He was 55
years old November 2, 1920. He is
the first U. S. senator elected to the
presidency.
President Harding is the seventh
president contributed to the country
by Ohio. Only Virginia, with a total
of eight presidents born within her
borders, outranks Ohio in this regard.
No president has been born west of
Ohio. No president has resided west
of Illinois.
President Harding is the seventh
president of Scotch.Irish paternal an-
cestry. Fifteen of our presidents,
over the period of 133 years, have
been of English descent, three of
Scotch, one of Welsh and two of
Dutch.
The average a;e of our presidents
at inauguratmn s 54 years, approx-
imately, while the approximate aver-
age at death has been 66 years•
President Harding exemplifies the
rapid rise possible in American life
better than any of his predecessors•
He was not included in the 1914-15
"Who's Who."
Like many of his predecessors also,
his parents were not wealthy and he
has risen to the highest office within
the gift of the American people
through frugality, industry and thrift,
of which he is a warm exponent, as
evidenced by his recent approval of
the government's Thrift and Savings
work, represented in the sales of
Thrift, Treasury and War Savlngs
Stamps and Treasury Savings Cer
tificates.
