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

or other physical disabilities: those

experience of Malone, N. Y.. revenue
officers In running down seven small
pigs. 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,
