...take U. S. Wets two minutes to look up Mr. Drury's political record, to brand him a professional Prohibitor. As a United Farmer, he formed an Ontario Government in 1919. In 1923 his Dry Government was overwhelmingly defeated by the Wet Conservatives. In last year's Ontario election the Conservatives gained 92 out of the 112 local parliament seats...
Because it employs a distinctive brand of free-and-easy journalism, Variety frequently gets into trouble, is often sued. This happened again fortnight ago, this time after a French lawsuit. The paper was fined 1,000 francs ($39.22), ordered to give 150,000 francs ($5,882.35) to Actor Pierre Meyer. The court had found that Variety had reported that the only reason Actor Meyer was appearing in the Palace Music Hall Revue in Paris was because his wife had financed the show. In addition, slow-spoken, big-nosed Editor Sime Silverman was sentenced to 30 days' imprisonment...

...National Collegiate records were broken, one was tied, and a brand new mark was established at the opening of the new Harvard swimming pool last night. Ray Ruddy of Columbia and Ted Moles of Princeton were the record-breakers, while August Harms, of Fordham, swimming easily in the 150-yard medley, a new event for the meet, hung up a mark for future mermen to shoot at. Al Schwarts, Northwestern captain and star, twice tied the existing record of 24 seconds flat in the 50-yard dash...
...Lorillard Co. Old Golds are said to be paying for themselves now, and Lorillard is concentrating on this brand and the 5? Rocky Ford cigar (When It's Got the Stuff a Nickel's Enough). While the trend toward a few popular brands has helped Old Golds, it has hurt Lorillard's onetime large business in Turkish cigarets (Helmar, Deities, Mogul, Murad). Officials estimate that 1930 earnings will be more than the $1,336,656 of last year, which would be the first increase in five years...
