John Carruthers of Shiawassee
township, who has a farm of 700
acres, is harvesting what is believed
to be the largest acreage of potatoes
in the county. He has 100 acres in

last spring.
Mr.. Carruthers dug his early po-
tatoes some time ago and harvested
what is said to be record yield
for this county. Off ten acres he
dug slightly over 3300, bushels Of
potatoes, or an average of better
than 800 bushels an acre.
His late potatoes will not yield
as heavily as this, but he expects
to receive for the entire crop of
both early and late potatoes, in the

WOMAN'S CLUB STARTS
THE YEARS WORK

The Woman's club started the club
wear October II with very inter-
esting meeting. The roll call re.
sponse was "My first day at school,
and many come in costume to rep
resent those youthful days.
Mrs. Wilson, the new president,
presided and her opening remarks
gave the members much to consider.
She would like to see the club mem
bership extended that more might
enjoy the splendid papers that are
read before the club. Then with a
larger membership, more talent
would be added and more financial
support for many things, especially
for that dream of all the members OF
the Woman's club-a club house OF
their own. The profits Of the Edgar
Guest evening were later voted into
the house fund. After reading the
constitution and bylaws as required,
Mrs. Wilson finished by repeating the
club collect-a bit of club literature
that never grows old and is always
inspiring.
When the regular program and
business were finished, school was
called to order by Mrs. Wilson, as
teacher, and she made great effort
to keep order and carry out pro-
gram of youthful speaking and sing
ing. Gum, apples, and other things
contraband in school were much in
evidence. Recess was made social

members not in custom were called

WASHINGTON LETTER.
WHAT FRANKIE
ROOSEVELT SAID

ANSOSE ohAD
Washington, Oct. 12.-(Special
correspondence i'm several of his
speeches in the Eastern states Frank
lin ID. Roosevelt, Democratic nomi-
nee for Vice President, has declared
that he was misquoted in the report
of his speech at Butte, Montana, in
which he said that President Wilson
had put one over on Lloyd George"
and that the United States would
have twelve votes in the league of
nations assembly. Whether or not
Mr.. Roosevelt made this statement
has, therefore, become a subject of
general interest to the country.
An examination Of the files of
Montana newspapers indicates that
an advance copy of Mr.. Roosevelt's
speech was furnished to the press.
Both of the Anaconda Standard and
the Butte Miner contain identical
reports of that portion of Mr.. Roose-
velt's speech in which he said
"As a matter of fact, l have al
ways felt that President Wilson
slipped one over on Lloyd George
when he was in Paris, because while
England and her colonies are appar-
emily getting six votes to our one,
the United States has a lot more
than six votes which will stick with
us through thick and thin in any con-
troversy."
In other respects these two papers
agreed word for word.
The Butte Daily Post indicates
that there was variation from the
exact language of the speech as it
was given out in advance. According
to the Daily Post, when Mr. Roose-
welt declared that President Wilson
had slipped one over on Lloyd
George someone in the audience
shouted out "How? How?", to which
Mr.. Roosevelt replied:
"Well, l would say that the United
States has at least twelve votes ir
the assembly of the league to Eng
lands SIX"
"How?" persisted the inquisitivt
man in front.
Well, l had something to do will
the running of a couple of little re
publics," said Mr.. Roosevelt. "Un
til last week had two Of those vote
in my pocket. Now. Secretary Dan
iels has them. One Of them wa
Haiti's. I know for ! wrote Haiti
constitution myself, and if do sa,
it, think it was pretty hard littl
J constitution ."e - .srtsf,e
II Mr.. Roosevelt them resumed tn
delivery of his speech practically i
accordance with the advance copy a
! published in the Anaconda Standar
and the Butte Miner, except that h
| interpolated the statement that ri
the final analysis the United State
will have far more than six vote
which will stick with us throug
thick and thin. There must be abou
dozen of them and they will be wit
us. We can outvote England in tn
assembly any day in the week. A
a matter of fact, the assembly
only a debating society,""
Mr.. Charles R. Leonard and otf
ers who were present and heard tn
speech vouch for the accuracy Of tn
report made by the Butte Daily Pos
Presumably the other papers had tn
speech set up in type before its de
livery and made no note of the inter
ruption which the Butte Post rt
ported.
