IMPORTED MERCHANDISE
COLLECTIONS INCREASE
Indiana Total for Year Nearly Six
Times Previous IL Months.

LINES IItNlOuS IL
Collections on merchandise i'm
ported to Indiana from foreign
countries and cleared through the
Indiana district of the United States
Bureau OF Customs during the fiscal
year ending June 80, totaled $685. 900.
Reports on the fiscal year collections
Of tariff have been compiled at the
office of Wray E. Fleming, collector
for the district.
The amount collected during the
last fiscal year was almost six times
that received during the previous
fiscal year when the total collec-
tons amounted to only sllS,634. The
increase was the result of greater
activity in all classes of merchandise
imported plus the addition of i'm
ports not admitted until the last
year.
Total operating costs of the In
diana district last year, including all
salaries and Sundry expenses for
the indianapolis office and those at
Lawrenceburg and Evansville were
sle.739. This reduced the cost of
collecting each dollar last year to
3 cents as compared TO II cents for
the previous year.

THE Drunkard" dates back to
1874 and the Fields version is
played in the same clustering and
overacted way which made it a
moral classic for our grand
parents.
This tear jerking, laugh-pro-
ducing "melodramer" taught a
great lesson in the old days. 1t
showed early theater-goers the
terrible, terrible evils of strong
drink and what may happen when
papa is away from home on
spree.
Fields is no amateur juggler and
some of his stunts in this movie
can be done only by an expert,
but his showmanship cloaks all Of
his juggling with a comedy favor.
TODAY we howl at "The Drum
L. kard"-as a play. In 1874, it
was taken seriously with the audi
ence kissing the villain and crying
and applauding the heroine who
would not leave the good old
straight and narrow.
Here is .oldfashiOned melo-
drama done in the spirit in which
it was created years and years
ago. You may wonder, as have,
how such a thing ever could have
been taken seriously.
The Old-Fashioned Way" is
grand theater for every boy, girl,
man and woman in the world. It's
the cleaneSt fun in the world.
If you are serious about wanting
clean movies then this one de-
serves your support.
