WARREN G. HARDING.
Warren G. Harding has always
been a resident of Ohio, which state
he has represented as United States
senator since 1914. In private busi
ness life he is publisher of the
Marion (Ohioi Star.
He was born on a farm, near the
village of Blooming Grove, Morrow
county. Ohio. November 2, 1S65.
the eldest of eight children. His
father, George T. Harding, was a
country doctor whose forebears
came from Scotland. Before going
to Ohio, the Hardings were resi
dents of Pennsylvania, where some
of them were massacred by Indians.
Others fought in the revolutionary
war. The mother of Warren. Mrs.
Phoebe Dickerson, was descended
from an old-time Holland Dutch
family, the Van Kirks.
In his youth Warren Harding
lived the life of a farmer boy. at
tending the village school until 14
years of age, when he entered Ohio
Central college of Iberia, from which
he was graduated. As editor of the
college paper he first displayed a
talent for journalism. He was
obliged to stop college now and then
to earn the money with which to
pursue his college course. At one
time he cut com. at another paint
ed barns, and at still another drove
a team and helped to grade the
roadbed of a new railway. At 17
he taught a district school and
played a horn in the village brass
band.
At odd times he worked in the
village printing office, in time be
coming an expert typesetter, and
later a linotype operator. He is a
practical pressman and a job print
er. and as a “make-up man" is said
to have few equals. The luck piece
he has carried as a senator is the
old printer’s rule he used when he
was sticking type.
In 1884. Dr. Harding moved his
family to Marion. A short time
afterward the father purchased for
Warren Harding The Star, then a
small paper.
On the paper Warren Harding
performed every function from devil
to managing editor. In all the years
the senator has owned it there has
never been a strike or a threatened
one.
Senator Harding is closely identi
fied with many other large business
enterprises in Marion and other
parts of the state. He is director
of a bank and several large manu
facturing plants and is a trustee of
the Trinity Baptist church.
Mr. Harding has twice represent
ed the 13th senatorial district of
Ohio in the state legislature and
served one term as lieutenant-gov
ernor. At the 1914 election Harding
was elected United States senator
by a majority of more than 100,000,
running 73,000 ahead of the next
highest on the ticket. In the sen
ate he is a member of the commit
tee on foreign relations. Senator
Harding married Miss Florence
Kling in 1891.
WAGES OF FARM LABORERS.
Scarcity of farm labor and the
■ increase of wages for farm laborers
I are two problems that are causing
the average American farmer many
gray hairs and much general uneasi
ness these days, writes the editor of
Ford's Dearborn Independent.
Five years ago—in 1914—the av
erage wage for a farm hand, with
,board thrown in, was 21.05 a month;
; without board the price was $29.88.
Last year—1919—the price jumped
to 839.82 with board and 856.29
, without.
In 1914 temporary hands could
. be hired at harvest time for 81.55
a day with board, and 81-91 with-j
out; in 1919 it went up to 83.15
with board and 83.S3 without.
Five years ago day labor on ;he
farm at other than harvest time ,
could be obtained at 81.13 with;
board and 81.45 without. During
the past 12 months the cost of such j
help increased to 83.45 with board j
and 83.12 without.
The above figures were compiled !
by the United States department of 1
agriculture. They do not represent j
any particular locality, but are the :
result of a wage average of farms
throughout the entire country.
Some farmers make the declara- ,
tion that unless wages are reduced !
and the scarcity of hired hands is j
relieved, they will be obliged to
curtail production to a point neces
sary for the needs of their own l
families.
Other farmers say they will keep j
up production, but will be obliged
to charge enough more for their
products to cover the greatly in
creased cost of raising their crops, i
In either event it is a foregone
conclusion that the consumers of
food will be obliged to dig a little
deeper for the requisite cash to pay '
for what goes on their dining tables.
Possibly some of the city dwellers
may decide to do the obvious thing '
and hike out to the farming sec-1
tions and do a little producing on j
their own hook.
That was a great man who said;
“Civilization begins and ends with
the plow.” '•
A Juneau syndicate, with Gustave
Seiffert and L. P. Shackleford trus- j
tees, has been formed to develop the ;
Red Top group of claims on Bear;
creek, in the Portland Canal dis
trict.

VIENNA PUBLIC PUTS
BAN ON SOME MOVIES
\ IENNA—The Vienna public has
been stirred to indignation by the
nature of some of the moving pic
tures shown here and has under
taken its own censorship, since the
r.flicial censorship is political only.
In one instance a crowd tore down
the posters and caused the destruc
tion of a reel, while in several cases
they demanded the suppression of
the picture on threat of smashing
the theater.
