Out of the millions of words that have ale ready been written about him 1t is possible for those who knew him only as a phantom on the motion, picture screen, to make some estimate of him as a man.

How and where it happened that he began to develop his gift for humorous comment on cur- rent doings as a part of his stage routine do not know. He was engaged to appear in a musical show with Blanche Ring called "The Wall Street Girl" and it was during a per- formance of that piece that first listened to his batter. We met after the, show and when Madden congratulated him on the hit he had made he answered in. differently, "Yeah, gettin' on git- tin on. Looks like the show'll be a hit if that song you two bozos wrote don't kill it." For the record 1t should be known that the piece was a success, that 1t marked the beginning of Rog- ers' real prominence, and that our song was deleted frcm the program.

FARMERS, HOUSEWIVES,
BEWARE!

Directly affecting every Garrett
county farmer and housekeeper in
Garrett county, and, indeed, in every
other county Of the nation, we quote
from the $4,000 word bill passed re-
Gently by Congress giving AAA con-
troll of potatoes, for the passage of
which bill Congressman Lewis, the
Representative from this District
voted.
'All potatoes harvested after
December 1, 1885, and sold in the
United States, shall be packed in
closed and marked containers to
which shall be attached tax
stamps or tax exemption
stamps"
This provision applies to the "first
SALE" that is, the original sale made
by farmer. To put it concretely, the
farmer must handle potatoes some
what as a cigar manufacturer handles
cigars, packing them in such con-
tanners as the government may pre-
scribe, and afixing a government
stamp to each container.
But here is the paragraph which
ought to give new insight as to the
extent to which the New Dealers pro-
pose to go, in controlling the pursuits
and actions of their citizenry. Read
ANY person who knowingly
sells or offers for sale, or know
ingly offers to buy Or buys, pOta-
tees, to the packages of which
are not affixed stamps, shall upon
conviction thereof be fined not
more than $1,000 Any person
convicted of a second offense
may, in addition to such fine, be
imprisoned for not more than
one year."
1t Immediately will be observed that
not only will it be a crime to sell or
offer for sale, potatoes not packed or
stamped according to law; it will be a
crime to buy or to offer to buy po-
tatoes not so packed or stamped.
When the Volstead Act was being
prepared, there were those who wanted
to make it a criminal act to buy boot
leg liquor. Others counseled against
such move, holding that the people
would rebel against a provision Of the
kind.
1t has taken the New Deal, with all
its boasting about personal liberty, to
put through a law subjecting to a
heavy fine and Imprisonment any citi-
zen who might buy a peck of pota-
toes that were not raised with the
consent of the AAA.

THE AAA POTATO PROBLEM

Another Governor is discussing a
situation that may make the admins
tration down Washington way wish
that he would be quiet. Governor John
son, of Colorado, recently said: "The
potato growers of Canada are ship
ping potatoes into Maine. Maine is
the largest potato growing region in
the United States. The farmers of the
San Luis Valley and the Greeley dis
trict of Colorado are depending upon
the price set for potatoes by the mar
ket in Maine. American consumers are
paying a processing tax to reduce the
production of potatoes in this coun-
try, while the Canadian farmers are
flooding the American market"

wept: "I'm sorry; l take it all back"
The judge imposed a peculiar SEN
tence: 81 command you to perform two
tasks: First, take this bag of feathers
to the top of yonder hill and empty it,
and report to me tomorrow
That's etsy," she said to herself.
The next day she reported: "Your
Honor, the task has been performed"
"Good," said the judge. "Now take
the bag and put all the feathers back
in it."
But, your honor, that is impossible.
The wind has scattered the feathers to

eyes," said the judge. "The task is
impossible. And equally impossible is
it for you to fulfill your promise to take
back all the mean and malicious words
that you have spoken. Like evil seeds,
they have been scattered to the four
corners of the earth to bring forth in
Vulnerable harvests Of tragedy and
sorrow."

BY A WATERBURY FIREMAN

Incident to the coming concert and ball by the Waterbury Fire Dept. as of Feb. 2, 1886, at the State armory, it is interesting to note that Chief Lynch of the department, has just received an old time dance pro- gram from Mrs. Wallace B. Rowe of New Milford of the Phoenix Fire company of Waterbury held at Hotchkiss hall in this city on Thursday evening, Jan. IT, 1867.
 One may get an idea of what the old time affairs of the Water bury volunteers were by reading this program, which announces that the music would be supplied by the famous and celebrated Germania band of Boston. That was the cus- tom of olden days in Waterbury when the firemen gave their dances. How many are living who can still remember the affairs given in the old city hall, with Reeves band of Boston providing the music for the grand march and square dances, and 8 local orchestra, Hallam's or Faulman's, providing the string music for the round dances. And in the days we speak of, the cus- tomary thing was for you to register your name with some volunteer company, and they would arrange for the carriage, one of the old time hacks, to call at your home, and convey you to the hall. That was the custom in the nineties and
