There was buzz in the crowd among
the feminine voices nquiring one of the
other. and the rest of the speech. which
was on politics and apples, was delivered
to the male population of North Yakima

cover the identity of the Ohio sweetheart
that the President said he wouldn't tell.
And before the presidential train pulled
out the secret was out

ladies' convention held at the railroad
station that Elizabeth Evans lived in Gin

she is now Mrs Betty Hodges and is the
owner of orchard in this valley. Mrs.

this morning and the two spent ten min

Mr.. Taft has heard SO much about APP

but the chuckle had not died from his

and laughed.
Continuing, the President paid a high

Presidents father would have called a
