POLI'S

Starting to-day for days Polls is to present a new episode in the lives of "Mr and Mrs Thin Man" William Powell and Myrna Loy and this one is titled "Evelyn Prem tice." The happenings in the lives of this the most popular married couple of the screen make a truly great picture and one that com pares favorably and better than any of the others that they have made.

 In the same picture playing the part of the other woman Is a To- cal girl who while she has had a lot of speaking stage experience is making her first talking picture and she surely does good job, re- ferring now to Rosalind Russell daughter of Mrs James Russell of Willow street who is cast in this story and by the sterling charac- terizations she gave the part, has been rendered long term contract by M. G. M. and will be seen short ly in "The Night Is Young" with Ramon Novarro and Evelyn Lave and then will return at a later date in the fast company of Joan Crawford, Clark Gable and Robert Montgomery in "Forsaking Al others, is there any more assur- ance needed that this little local girl will soon be one of the bright est stars on the Hollywood horiz- zon. Others in the cast are Una Market and Edward Brophy and little Cora Sue Collins.
 Selected short subjects will also be a part of the program and they are the best that are obtainable in- cluding among them a comedy Popey in another of his ever pop ular cartoons, a song reel and the Metrotonews with Edwin c. Hill as the commentator.

CHAPTER XIII

"I may not be a radical" pro- claimed Pa Jones, "but l don't think I'm an old mossback or a Tory either.
 When the government talked about developing great water pow CT resources and electric empires, was all for that, especially be- cause 1t makes work, and we need work.
 But when 1t comes to the gov ernment putting electric flatirons and eggbeaters on the market at cut rates, that's too many for me If 1 was, selling electrical appli- ances instead of groceries, I'd be plenty sore."
 That does seem like forcing the market little, doesn't it?" admit ted John Jr. "Of course the gov ernment wants to get people down there in the Tennessee Valley who never have used electricity before to start using it now.
 Probably some of them, after they've bought this government equipment at low prices and got ten used to using it, will buy other electrical equipment, too. The dealers may not lose out in the long run.
 "I guess the government is really trying, even aside from the special projects it's backing, to make the country use more electricity. That will help bring rates down for everybody else"
 HOOVER VETOED PLAN
 Strange overturn, surely, from four short years ago, when Presi- dent Hoover vetoed the Norris bill for government operation of Mus- cle Shoals. Hoover saw no req son why the government should not pour tens of millions down that rat-hole in wartime, but not a cent for running it in peacetime to try to get some of the millions back! To-day, the government is run ming it, and .enlarging it into a string of dams and the Tennessee Valley regional development. Tn the southwest, at Boulder Dam, rises another such project (begun by Hoover, by the Way),

ing houses for the gardener and caretaker, building a field house and refectory at the ball field and a clubhouse and refectory for the bowling green. The suggestions were referred to a committee for consideration.
 It was said that it might be pos- sible to get funds for materials from the w. E. Fulton endowment for the park. Other recommenda- tions by MT Harrison included the remodelling of the Chase Park house and the building of new house for the animals at Hamilton park. Plans have already been drawn up for the improvement by EZRA architects, MT Harrison said.
 Work has been suspended for the winter months by contractors in charge of the municipal golf course construction. It is estimated that 60 per cent of the work has been completed. Mutual Aid and EZRA workmen have planted 169 trees in Lakewood park and con- structed a garden and pond.

EAST END NEWS

The sidewalks of the east end are coming in for their share of the New Deal. The street depart ment, which recently completed construction work on East Main street, decided to trim the street in regular style, and now the side walks from Cherry street up to the intersection of Wolcott and East Main streets have been cov- cred with asphalt.
 Residents of the district are amazed at the sudden change which has come over motorists who are strictly adhereing to the city speed limits since Supt. Joseph Mclean demanded that the speeding be checked on East Main street. Speed limit signs will probably be posted along that route very shortly to inform out-of-town motorists of the speed limits.

IMPORT DUTIES
CAIN FOR LAST
THIRD OF YEAR
Indiana Customs Collector
Reports 80 Per Cent
Increase.

Records compiled by Wray z.
Fleming, collector Of customs for
the Indiana district show a re-
markable increase for the last four
months Of 1888 over the same
months Of the previous year.
Valuation of $3.50 1893 was placed
on imported merchandise received
in Indiana during the last third CT
the year. The increase shown in
these figures was more than 30 per
cent over the value Of goods re-
ceived the last four months Of 1882
when the appraised value of goods
received was S193 1898
During the last four months Of
1888, duty amounting to S49,561 30
was collected, an increase of IS per
cent over the amount collected IN
the same mmths of 1882.
The figures show that the amount
OF duty collected in December, 1888,
fell short several hundred dollars of
the amount received in December,
1882 The value of the merchandise
imported into Indiana during last
month, however, was more than
double the value imported in De-
cember, 1882
The decrease in collections was
due to certain of the merchandise
received having been free Of duty.
Mr. Fleming believes that the great
increase in valuation is a strong re-
Election of improved business con-
ditions in the state.
Indications are that the high
record for collections in the Indiana
customs district, which was reached
in 1929, when duty of more than

Why the Sudden
Change to Liquid
LaxatiVes?

Doctors have always recognized the
value of the laxative whose dose can
be measured, and whose action can
be thus regulated to suit individual
need
The public. too, is fast returning
to the use of liquid laxatives. People
have learned that a properly pre-
pared liquid laxative brings a perfect
movement without any discomfort
at the time. or after.
The dose OF a liquid laxative can
be varied to suit the needs of the
individual. The action can thus be
regulated. 1t forms no habit: you
need not take a double dose" a day
or two later. Nor will a mild liquid
laxative irritate the kidneys.
The Wrong cdthdrtic may often do
more harm than good.
DIR. Caldwell's Syrup pepsin is a
prescription. and is perfectly safe.
Its laxative action is based on SIENNA
