MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFOKD, OREGON. MONDAY. DECEMBER 9. 1933. PAGE THREE ROGERS ONCE PUT ONE OVER ON GAG MAN AS SPEAKER Society and Clubs Arthur "Bugs" Baer, em of Ameri ca's foremost funny men. ran second to Will Rogers In one rueful meeting. He tell the story himself; "I was talking at the ' Advertising club In New York In a room which was divided from another room by folding doors, which are not famous for their sound-proof properties. Every time I worked a gag up to the point where I pulled the snapper. It would be crabbed by a loud laugh from the other room. "About the fifth time It happened my audience started to expect It and their heads were twisted around like crows In a cornfield. When It hap pened the tenth time I saw It was no use of my talking and suggested that we throw open the folding doors and listen to the fellow In the next room. We did that very thing and both luncheon crowds had a good time with Will Rogers. He was the bird In the other room." Handicapped children will be the principal beneficiaries of the Will Rogers memorial fund. By handicap ped children the memorlnl commlaslon means those suffering from blindness or other physical disabilities: those who have been victims of Illness who can be brought back to partial or complete activity through expert medical attention; those without par ents or whose parents lack the money to give them the proper shelter, schooling and home care.

The stout-hearted officers have been in close pursuit for nearly two years now. The United States marines could have done no more. Yet at last account, the pigs were still far ahead. , The last account was given In a local up-state newspaper Interview with Dan Olllette. a Thayer Corners farmer in the town of Burke. Frank lin county. He marketed the pigs. Mr. Gillette is a Vermont type of farmer who keeps his books on the barn door. In pencil. Thus he knows that, in October. 1933. he sold a 135 pound pig to a friend; again, in May. 1934, a 150-pound pig to the same friend. He says that, along about May. he also took five little pigs to market in Malone. There the packer said they weighed 538 pounds dress ed, and that there was no tax on them as long as he raised them. The revenue officer first came to see Mr. Gillette In August. 1934. Since then Mr. Gillette has been having more trouble with his taxes than J. P. Morgan and Mellon together. The first revenue officer figured It all up and decided no tax was due. But two months later, October, 1934, came another. He figured and figured, advising Mr. Gillette It "will be plenty." When he finished, he said the tax and fine amounted to $44. Including the seven pigs. These figures, the officer sent to Syracuse. Mr. Gillette soon received a letter demanding the tax and fine. Ho appealed to the packer, but the packer had no record. Mr. Gillette concluded that the revenue officer must have Imagined the pigs to be 200 pounds apiece, whereas they were "Just little fellers." Therefore, he re tired Into his shell. A second letter some weeks later hiked the amount to $47, which only goes to show how fast pigs can grow. The letter was followed by another revenuer with "some kind of a war rant." That conference, developed much harsh language, but no pigs or money. Twice again last spring came revenuers, both going over Mr. Gillette's double-door bookkeeping system on the barn. They Just "took down the figures and went away." The second one came back In the middle of May, with an announce ment that the pigs had shrunk. What Mr. Gillette really owed was $24.50. He advised Mt Gillette to submit those figures and Mr. Gillette did, but he has not yet received an an swer. "Along about September," however, Mr. Gillette got a threatenlsg demand that he settle. And last month came another. If you think Mr. Gillette Is fright ened, you do not know Mr. Gillette. This Is his off-season. He has heard about the good meals served In the Franklin county Jail. He knows friends who will bring him cigarettes.

HOOD RIVER, Ore., Dec. 9 "Drink an apple a day," Is the slogan of Oregon's new apple brandy distill ery located here, w.iose product went on the market through Oregon liquor control stores throughout the state just this week. The brandy, known as "Old Delicious" brand, Is distilled from apple Juice and according to E. F. Moody, general manager of Hood River Distillers. Inc.. the plant will require annually the production of 10,000 acres of orchard or approxi mately 468,750 boxes of the typo of apple used to run the plant over a five months period. It la claimed that this new Oregon apple brandy Is of unusually high aunltty and because of the soundness and fine flavor of tho apples used will rate higher In flavor than any apple brandy made In the United Sites. An analysis of the three lead ing brands of apple brandy sold In Oregon Liquor control stores along with the product of the Hood River distillery, shows that Hood River "Old Delicious Apple Brandy contains 130 esters or flavor degrees as compared with 109 for the highest grade. It also shows a much higher degree of ab solute purity. 1 The plant of Hood River Distillers. Inc., Is one of the most modern In the entire country. Consequently, he Is taking a strong position. He says: "They have rode me enough. If they think they can make an honest farmer give them more'n 50 cents on a dollar for what little he made on seven small pigs, they've got another think comin'." The Iandon bandwagon seems to be crowding up before It even gets started. Latest Joiner is supposed to be Ogden Mills, former treasury sec retary to Mr. Hoover. Ho was gener ally recognized here as the smartest man In the Hoover administration. Friends say his loyalty to Mr. Hoover continues, but that he thinks Hoover has no chance to win, and has so informed the former president. Senator Norrls has confided to a Democratic congressional friend that he will support President Roosevelt next year. That is no-news, but Nor rls also Indicated he would support the Democratic president even against his Independent colleague. Senator Borah, who sits at the desk adjoin ing that of Norrls in the senate. At the same time, Norrls regards Borah as a real potential threat to Mr. Roosevelt's re-election. Those who are supposed to know George Peek's mind say the latest departing new dealer will go actively Republican next year If the Republi cans will adopt a satisfactory farm plank. He may try to write It. His view Is that AAA works at cross pur poses, cuts production and lets farm products In from foreign countries, Circuit Judge H. D.
