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 W .....

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. • ,, ,,,  .... i "I KAMILCHE • :o €.
