OKLAHOMA is GOING IN
FOR STATE THEATRICALS
United Press.

OnlteO freSS-
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Aug. s.
oklahoma is setting the pace for
some of her older and supposedly
more experienced sister states. She
is not only becoming a patron of art
and husbandry as will be shown by
the beautiful building she will set
down on the fair grounds at San
Francisco, but she will use the pro-
ceeds Of her own artistic endeavor
to help pay for the building
The whole story came out today
when Mabel Ferris and Winifred Gray
Oracle told their friends that they
have come here to stage big open
air production of Miss Ferris page
ant-drama, "The Bridge of the Gods
at Oklahoma City for the benefit of
the fund which is being raised to sup
plement the states appropriation for
a building at the Panama-Pacific ex-
position at San Francisco in 1915.
With the idea that it is fitting that
two progressive, energetic women
should lead such project in the pro-
gressive west, Oklahomans through
out the state are enthusiastically CIV
ing their support to the plan.
Miss Ferris, who wrote the book
for the pageant from the novel of
the same name, by F. H. Balch, came
here earlier in the summer. Miss
Oracle, whose ten years on the dra-
matte stage have well fitted her for
her task, arrived 6nly few days
ago.
Oklahoma entered upon her career
as theatrical producer quite by ac-
cident, according to what Miss Ferris
tells her friends here and elsewhere
She was stopping in Oklahoma City
for a few days with friends and hap
pened to meet Commissioner Russell
of the Oklahoma fair commission
She was telling him of her success
in staging her pageant-drama in As
oria, Ore, on the occasion Of that

LAW AND ORDER FORCES
Delegates Go On Record as Favoring Law and

and Upho|dng Of The State Flag
Special to The Herald.

'ptSihl 10 Inc Herald
DENVER, Aug. 5.--The 400 dele
gates to the state assembly went on
record for law and order, the support
of the state constitution, the uphold
ing of the state flag, together with
the demand that those who violated
the laws be punished.
The delegates felt that they repre-.
sented practically a united Republi-
can party in Colorado. In the nun.
Der were found hundreds of thoss
who fought for Republican success
two years ago and hundreds OF 9th
ers who in 1912 were laboring in the
Progressive banner but have since
been convinced of the error of their
way.
Charles BaIireich presided as chair
man. He made a rousing address on
The ideals of the Republican party,
laying stress on the fact that tho
grand old party has always maintain
ed that through the upholdings of law
and order, justice prevails. he Dem
ocratic party of the state was de-
nounced for the stand it took in cor
vention last week, by its refusal to
endorse the principles of justice.
The meeting was among the most
enthusiastic in the history of the
party in the state. Clique rule was
conspicuous by its absence. All dele
gates recognized that with judici.
Gus selection of candidates, Republi.
can success is assured.
The assembly designated the fol-
lowing candidates:

WOMAN Is OBJECT OF

COLORADO CITY, Colo, Aug. s.
Because, it is alleged, she spends too
much time doing fancy work." Mrs.
May zimmerman, commissioner of
records and police magistrate Of Colo
RADIO City, has been made the victim
Of recall petition--the first woman
officeholder in the history of the
country to call the recall. Stimuli
taneously, recall petitions have been
circulated against Mayor j. d. Faulk-
ner and Commissioner Of Public
Highways Charles b. Myles. Here
are some of the things charged
against Mrs. zimmerman in the pc
tition circulated against her:
"She keeps books for fraternal
order and does the work on city
time"
"She voted for the purchose of a
dilapidated, secondhand automobile,
which was needless luxury"

to vent her spite on political enem-
ies."
"she voted for an expenditure OF
$4,000 for a culvert which could have
been built for several hundred dol
lars"
"She jeopardized the interests OF
the city by not attending strictly to
her duties as police magistrate"
Mrs. zimmerman says she welcomes
any investigation of her official con-
duct. She denies with vehemence,
however, that her fancy work has in
terfered with the conduct of her of
flee. THAT charge is merely brought
by opponents Of woman suffrage be-
cause the charge looks good in print" I"

RECALLS DAYS WHEN
BUTTER SOLD 500 POUND

United Press.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Aug. g.
One of the few men who recall the
days when five pounds of butter sold
in Colorado Springs for $500 is a vis-
itor in the Pixies Peak region. John
r. May, of Blackwell, Okla, tells tie
story.
"The incident which caused such
price to be laid on butter was the
laying of the cornerstone of Colorado
college," he said. AT that time the
college was far north of the settled
portion of the town. The cornerstone
laying had been talked of for weeks
and many persons sent various ar
ticles to be placed beneath the stone.
The ceremony was in progress when
a note and package were received
from a woman living several miles
away, on ranch. She said she had
nothing else to give, so she sent five
pounds of butter to be placed under
the cornerstone. This of course was
impracticable and it was decided to
sell the butter to the highest bidder.
There was spirited bidding and final
" the package was finally run up to
$3.50. The purchaser paid over the
money, handed the butter over TO the
auctioneer and asked him to resell il.
This was done and the butter was
bought and paid for several times un-
til $500 had been realized"

PUEBLO SOCIABILITY
RUN TO WESTCLIFTE
United Press

United Press
PUEBLO, Colo, Aug. 5.-An auto
sociability run to, Westcliffe is Be-
ing conducted by the Commerce club
today. The idea was suggested by
the people of Westcliffe themselves
who wrote asking that the Pueblo
folks lay out good road, promising
to give substantial aid to its i'm
provement.
The shortest auto route to West
cIiffe is through Beulah and across
the range but this road is only COM
pleted to Beulah. 1t was believed
most of the autoists today would take
the route to Westcliffe through Flor
ence and the Hardscrabble district, al
though others will undoubtedly 20
through Canon City and Cotopaxi.
Westcliffe people say the lack Of
good roads prevents them from msk-
ing auto trips here.

Minnesota Wells Generally Safe.

& 51
'That there is little disease from
well water in Minnesota is now well
established" says DR.. II. w. Hill, of
the Minnesota Public Health Associa-
ton. "Well water has always been
looked on with suspicion, but un-
necessarily so in this state. The rea-
scr is that most Of the wells of Min
nesota are sunk in clay or in sand,
and infectious material deposited on
the surface does not pass through
clay or sand in such condition as to
poison the water. Clay is largely
impervious to the germs of disease,
and sand will filter most of them out.
Thus wells sunk in these soils are
practically safe. In limestone soils,
the crevices between the limestone
layers sometimes form direct open
channels along which infectious ma
terial from outdoor closets or cess
pools may travel directly, Just as It
might through pipe. Such soils
art not common in Minnesota and IN
lection from a well polluted through
/ tho soil is rare. This does not make
infection impossible, however, and oc.
OCCASIONALLY wells become tainted By
/ direct overflow along the surface OF
through forgotten underground
pipes.
