The above ordinations Vere
made today in reference TO Warren
q. Harding, Republican nominee
for the Presidency, and by none
other than his own private secre-
tary.
He was not referring, be II said,
10 the choice made by the delegates
at the Chicago convention, but was
referring to the Senator's ability
as a golf player.
senator Harding Is an enthusiss-
tic golf player, and one Of the FIRST
things he did on his arrival in
Washington from Chicago, after
the convention, was 10 hasten to the
golf links to see IL he could better
his usual 95. which is considered
a poor score BY even the Senator
himself.
RIVAL OF WILSON.
However, he has a rival on the
links as well as in politics, In
President Wilson, who 10 also a golf
enthusiast, but has not played
since his illness. They both use
the same golf links Of the Wash
ington Golf and Country Club. on
the Virginia side OF the Potomac
river at Jewell
According TO members OF the club,
and the caddies who have watched
both of them play, one of the worst
golf matches imaginable would be
one between the President and
Senator Harding.
A general discussion as TO the out
come of a golf match between these
two, and the golfing abilities OF
both was held yesterday afternoon
between caddies OF tho club, and a
free-for-all fight was narrowly
averted

Deed, boss, All thinks Senator
Hahdin' plays better'n Pres'den
Wilson" declared George Washing
ton Ferguson. a diminutive choco-
late-coiored lad OF twelve. HE done
made a 90 only las week. and that's
better'n Pres'den Wilson evan
made" he stated emphatically.
This remark brought forth a Wig
orous protest from Milton Warner,
also twelve years old, and white.
Milton is Nirginian and comes
from a long line of ancestors who
belonged to the brand of Democ-
racy for which the South is noted.
There is no question but what they
were all good Democrats, and little
Mills hot Southern temper got the
best OF him on hearing a coIored
youth boost the Republican nomi-
nee.
"G'wan, niger, you're crazy" he
yelled, waving his arms toward the
links. Senator Hardin never saw
a 90 since he has been playing golf,
and il he cant President any bet
tern he can golf, I feel sorry for
him"
Jaw, he won't be President emmy
how" Clipped in another young
Virginian, aged about thirteen. My
seats outen him at the 'lections."
However, the fact remains that
both President Wilson and Senator
Harding are ardent golf fans, and
regardless of how punk" their
scores may be, they get a lot OF
real pleasure and wholesome exer-
else out OF the game.
In addition to golf. Senator Hard
ing, according to his own sdmis-
sion, is very fond of the W. x. game
OF poker. However, unless he shows
much more ability in playing this
game than he does in golf, there
may be another reason, other than
high prices and profiteerlng, which
has kept him from buying a new
suit OF clothes since the war began.

SHARP REDUCTION
IN GRAIN SOWING.

Wisconsin farmers sowed $4,000 ac-
res less of fall grains than they did a
year ago, states the university crop re-
port for December Total acreage
sown this fall was 521, 900, compared
to SIT 900 sown a year ago. Dryness
III the early fall made it difficult to
pillow and fit the soil for planting in
many districts. Dryness also made
fall planting uncertain and risky. Be-
cause of ample rainfall and mild
weather late in the fall, however, all
grains made an excellent growth and
entered the winter in fine condition.
Area planted to winter wheat is es-
timated at $4,000 acres, compared to
$4,000 planted in 1919. 435,000 acres
were planted to rye, compared to 49,
900 in 1919.
Wages paid farm hands in 1920 aver
aged much higher than in previous
years. The monthly average was $62.-
so with board and $3.50 without COM
pared to $4S.70 and 500 in 1919; $43.50
and 5000 in 1918, and $3.50 and $40
il 1915. Day rate for harvest hands
was $40 with board and $500 without
last summer.
Sugar beet production in the state
jumped to 20 400 tons last year from
$500 tons in 1919.
