Factory Employs
More Than Farm

That more people normally
earn their living in factories than
on farms is indicated by a con-
sumner study just completed by
Investors Syndicate of Mime
apoliS. Where there are 10000
600 farm workers, there are IA
100000 engaged in factory or
similar mechanical jobs.
Another fact revealed is the
size of the group classed as pro-
fessional, such as doctors, lawyers
and dentists. These number
nearly 3,50O,OO0, as compared
with about 100000 in trans
portation and 100000 in

NEW YORK, January 29.-The
eighth volume of the Dictionary Of

estimates the late President Warren G.
Harding as man SWamped by the
difficulties of Office. The eValuation
made by Allan Nevins, historian and
journalist, is issued with the authority
of the American Council of Learned
Societies.
In every respect he fitted the small
town environment, writes Mr.. NevinS.
He was easy going and frank in ad-
mitting his lack of unusual abilities or
intellectual tastes.
in the first year after his
death his name was so Clouded that
few could honor or defend it. Yet it
must be recognized that a heavy re-
sponsibility for his record falls upon the
party and Nation which elected a man
of moderate abilities, weak judgment of
character, excessive amiability and to-
tel lack of vigilance to so eXacting an
Office
In minor station he was a~useful
and likable man. and it was his cruel
misfortune that he was lifted to post

Poor Sport Pays High

THE Biological Survey means business in its
] campaign to protect the wild fowl of the
Nation. Every effort has been made to appeal
to the craftsmanship of hunters and to the
reason of those who take wild birds. but still
there remain those who will kill game birds out
of season. When an offender is caught, be is
severely punished, witness the case of a
hunter in Illinois. who was arrested after hav-
ing shot wild duck during the closed season.
The guilty man admitted his crime and was
sentenced to fine of $500 and in addition
was sent to Jail for six months The penalty
was severe. but with the present threats to the
existence Of wild fowl it is essential that every
one who hunts live up to the laws.

Raise Wild Foqcl

THE move to raise wild fowl in captivity to
] be released later has shown great advances
in recent years. For instance in 1880. the last
for which the Biological Survey has records,
$3.50 birds were raisedkin captivity of which
number $3.50 were mallard ducks. There
has been for some years an effort made to prop
agate the English pheasant in this country
and for this purpose eggs are furnished pri-
vate individuals for Matching and raising the
birds to the adult stage in places where they
may be protected until they reach maturity.
