The Age OF Presidents.
(Kansas City Starr

President Wilson is the oldest ex-
ecutive Of the United States for the
last so years He is so years old, a
span Of years that no President has
crossed since the inauguration Of
Buchanan in 1857.
Incidentally, the President is one OF
the six oldest executives ever in the
White House. Previous to 1851 the
men chosen to hold the reins of eoy-
eminent generally reached a late
period in life before their election,
John Adams was 81 when inaugural
ed in 1907; Jackson also was 81 when
first inaugurated in 1929. William
Henry Harrison was the oldest man
ever chosen fro the presidency, being
6S at the time of his inauguration
in 1884, Taylor was 81 and Buch-
anan IS, respectively when they were
inaugurated.
Aside from these. all presidents
have been younger than Woodrow
Wilson when entering the White
House. This has been practically
noticeable In the last fifty years. when
ali have bean comparatively young.
Theodore Roosevelt was the youngest

PRICE OF MILK RAISED AGAIN.
Food Situation Also Becomes Graves
Through Freight Strike.

New York. March 9.-The food sit
uation today showed two new factors,
both tending to raise prices. The
Dairymen's league, which virtually
controls the sources Of milk supply
for this city and vicinity within a RAJ
dius Of several hundred miles, an
nounced a schedule for the six months
beginning April 1 which average one
and one-fifths, cent quart more
than the corresponding months of last
year. Further freight congestion was
threatened by strike of freight han
oilers of the. New York Central rail-
road.
There is talk of resisting the in
crease in milk prices on the grounds
that the ,Dairymen's league is an IL.
: ---,-ination and violates anti
trust laws.
The railroad is arranging to put
to work under police
protection to take the place of stri-
ers.

Under the Direction of Jack Howard We
natChee Young People Made
Favorable Impression

A large audience greeted the enter
tainment presented at the Scenic
theatre Tuesday night by the young
people Of Wenatchee, under the direc-
ton of Jack Howard, newspaper man
who has deserted his calling to join the
ranks of show promoters. 1t will be
recalled that he was instrumental re-
Gently in bringing Josef Hoffman to
Wenatchee, and got away with it
financially.
The entertainment Monday night
consisted OF singing. dancing and a
sketch of show within a show, which
made opportunities to get off some
good acknowledgements stuff by Miss
Helen Mcdonald and Mr.. Howard.
The dance act by Miss Marguerite
Hayden and Prof. Martin Jones, might
be called the poetry of motion, rather
than dancing, and was artistically exc
cuted, with nothing that either male
or female prudes might cavil at. Miss
Lora Thornhill was also down on the
bill for fancy dance which she exc
cuted with her usual felicity. The
Wenatchee aggregation furnished the
Leavenworth people with very pleas
ant evenings entertainment. The
more so because it was different,
