Home From Michigan.

Atty. c. S. Boice, wife and son ar
rived home Saturday from their trip
to Ann Arbor, Mich, which ley
made by automobile, having Ford-ed
400 miles. They were gone for
three weeks, and camped out ten
nights while on the trip. Mr.. Boice
says they encountered only a few
drops of rain On the entire trip,
which helped some. They visited
their daughter, Mrs. A. j. Brown at
Ann Arbor. On the return trip they
came by Toledo, Ohio, AID report a
most delightful trip. Some years ago
Mr.. and Mrs. Boice and two daugh-
tiers rode bicycles across the country
from Ann Arbor to DEBORAH, dis
lance of about 700 miles, and we be-
lieve they hold the record for long
distance bicycle riders in this section.
We imagine the popular attorney and
his good wife found Fording it was a
great deal more pleasant than
peddling their way through.

Our Potato Challenged.

A couple of weeks ago we made
mention of a 10 ounce Early Ohio
potato that we dug out of the writ
er's grader. and challenged all com
petition. We didn't have any one
take it up until yesterday, when Dr..
Urban informed us that he dug an
Early Ohio of the same weight out
Of his garden on the West Side. Well,
it took the doctor two weeks to catch
up TO us, and as we stated at the time
our potatoe was still growing. Ii we
had left it in the ground it perhaps
would have weighed a pound and a
half at this writing
o. N. Quandahl dug a freak pota-
toe out of his yard yesterday, an
Early Ohio, by the way, that weigh
ed a pound AID a half But we think
o. n. grated several potatoes to-
gether, anyway it looks that way. He
called at this Office during the noon
hour 10 compare it with our heavy
weight, but found the door locked
and couldn't get in. o. n. said he
had TO take his potatoe to one of the
citys large scales to have it weighed
correctly.
