CHARLEY CHAPLIN'S
 $67O, 900 SALARY
 IS IN REAL COIN

New York, May 1s-Why Charlie Chaplin gets $67O.O00 year became obvious to Justice Hotch kiss of the supreme court yesterday when attor- the Essanay film combination shed cross-Hghts on the. serious business of being funny es.s.s
 We paid Chaplin S7o,ooO for the work he did in the year ending in December" William M. Seabury, ,atror- ney for the Vitagraph-Lubin-SeI Essanay, Inc, explained to the court. t'FIe wanted to make $1oo,oOO more, and said he could get it from the Mu- tuaI. We thereupon offered to give him $1O,OO0 extra for each of ten pie lures he was to do for us. and he ac- -cepted the offer.''
 Charlie Chaplin's BurIesque on Carmen was one of these ten addi- tional films, Seabury said, adding that Chaplin now apparently was trying to prevent his clients from realizing on the $10,00O investment, and (this is why Chaplin gets the $670,00O) from realizing on some s5oo.ooo profit
 .'Is that salary in real or in stage money 9" asked the Justice.
 Real money, while it lasts" said Seabury Truth is, Charlie Chaplin is swimming in money and his salary at present makes the salary of the President of the United States look like that of a piker."'

EXPERTS SUGGEST WAYS
 OF RETIREMENT
Deplore Intermingling Un- sentenced Boys With Men
 Prisoners at Local Jail.

Intermingling of boys awaiting trial with prisoners at the Fairfield county jail is deplored by the National Com naittee on Prisons of which Thomas Mott Osborne, is honorary president.
 In a communication signed by H. H. Hart, chairman of the jail com mittee, Fairfield county is urged to build a "rnisdemeanant farm" under state control, and to use the Fairfield county jail for prisoners awaiting trial. The communication follows:
 'AThe Fairfield county jail was re- gently visited by a representative of the jail committee of the National committee on prisons.
 '"The visitors were impressed by the sanitary conditions of the jaik and by the separate and proper care given women inmates.
 "It was found that boys awaiting trial are allowed to n1ing1e with older and hardened prisoners. This is not conducive to the welfare of the younger inmates. It was also found that while inmates are under contract labor, that there is not sufficient work for the men. While the contract sys- tenn is better than complete idleness, the national committee has found that labor for the state is more de- sirab1e, both for the prisoners and TOT Lne people at s1dTSSs SSpSC1dIAy where this work is upon the public roads.
 ''As New Haven, Hartford and other counties are contemplating tke erection of new and more modern jaiIs, the national comnaittee on prisons desires to suggest that Fair field county cooperate with them in building rnisdemeanant farm under state control, and use the Fairfield county jail for the confinement of those awaiting trial.
 ''It has been found that with proper nanage cement, such 8 farm can be self-supporting, and if the farm is conducted jointly with other coun- ties, and is under state control the expense is greatly reduced.
 Trusting that the county commits sioners will give this matter their serious consideration. I am
 Yours very truly.

BARRED OUT OF
 FAIRFIELD HALL,
 PARENTS OBJECT.
Much Clamor When Many Fail to See Their Children
 Perform on Stage.
Especial to The Farmer.)

Fairfield May 13-The nearest ap- proach to riot Fairfield has had in a long time occurred last night when 500 mothers, fathers. brothers, sisters, uncles and aunts, were locked out of Sherman hall, where the pupils of Sherman school were giving an enter tainment.
 Scores of mothers had spent hours of the afternoon getting their chill dren ready for the big event, got sup per early, rushed through a course at the dressing table, and then hitched up the family buggy or started to field center. They came from as far away as Greenfield Hill and Greens Farms.
 Those who didn't get there early found the doors locked, and the sides of the hall bulging with people. Clamor without, by those who were foiIed in their fond anticipation of seeing their children perform, amount ed to turmoil. An mitigation meeting g was held while the relatives waited several hours to escort their children home. Superintendent of Schools Will liam Smith was roasted but he. ex- plained he couldn't do anything as the fire laws wouldn't permit standing in the aiSles. More tickets had been sold than was advisable.
 The entertainment itself was excel lent. The children sang and danced splendid and the tableaux they pre- scented were artistic. The costumes were elaborate and showed that much care had been taken in preparing for the event. The children were dressed asj characters of history.
 Because so many were disappointed, another entertainment will be given Monday evening. The Parent Teach ers' association was in charge of the entertainment.

SIDER QUESTION.
PR: sent LEVY IS INADEQUATE
Matter of Building Fund For The
Schools and Of the Maintenance Of
Additional Roads of County to be
Considered.

Judge j. T. Mcknight, of the coun.
ty court, has appointed the tax levy
committee of the court. This commit
tee will meet between now and April
40 for the purpose Of agreeing upon
the levy to be recommended to the
court. 1t is not improbable that some
changes will be made in the levy as
1t now stands.
1t Is conceded that the present levy
is inadequate for the schools of the
county, building fund being an sbso-
lutte necessity. 1t is also true that
with the acquisition Of additional turn
pixies more funds are going to be
necessary for road maintenance.
The committee to consider and re-
port the levy is representative of all
the sections of the county and is COM
posed of the following: Justices R.
G. Mullins, of the First district; Jus.
tice ]. A. Grove of the Third dis
trict; Justice l. H. McKibbon, of the

county aht will do anything that | ask
them to do, but am referring to those

suade to exhibit the stock. 1t Ia
not to my benefit that want them to
show their stock, it is for their own
personal benefit that | want them to
come to town on this day and bring
their horses, jacks, mules, ponies and

except personal pride that have in
the county's resources, and beyond
all shadow of a doubt, we have the
most resourceful county in the south.
"Now l want to ask for the hearty
support of every farmer in the county
upon this occasion. Bring in the
stock and l win have aides to lok
after you and put you in line properly"
DR.. Woodbridge stated thathe would
