Oil Boom Towns
Bonded Too Soon

that might have been and on which
nigh tax rates were levied after heavy
bond issues had been voted, are fire.
4ueN, III Oklahoma history.
DevaIl and Pershine. both small oil
towns IN Oklahoma. were given as
example by Randvll Cobb. assistant
attorney general in charge Of the
state bond department..
Six years ago. oil was brought to
the surface in the vicinity Of the
little village of rcrshing. Visualiz-
ing large city in the future, the am
bilious citizens voted Il Sl40,OOO bond
issue for the purpose Of building a
water works system.
Oil production dwindled and the
city's population decreased. The town
is now indebted for nearly half its
valuation. Most Of the bonds, which
were sold, are being held by munich
pal sinking funds.
The story Of Pcrshng was repeated
at Devall. When oil was found, il
'boom' occurred and citizens voted
larg" amounts ~" Munic pal improve
ments. Then the population decreased
and taxes bounded to excessive rates.
\ number Of Devall citizens moved
their homes outside the city limits to
avoid paying the levy.

Waddell, Animal Hlsbandry Special

with this work for the past two years
and says that sheep men generally

FAIR CIRCUS RIDER LOVED BY
; MEN IN SIMON THE JESTER"
Fear Cornered Complication is Re-
spOnsible For Many Big
Situations

One of the most unique situations
in modern photoplay presentation IL
brought to light in "Simon the Jes-
ter" Frances Marion's current pro-
duction, which manager Robbins Of
the Pythian Theatre will offer his
patrons this week. It may be termed
a @four cornered triangle" Three
men love the same woman, circus
rider. One, an Indifferent wooer
another her husband from whom she
is separated, and the third a mutual
friend who attempts to break up a
new romance but himself falls for
her beauty.
George Melford who directed the
picture was careful in the selection
of featured players and he made It
understood that during the filming
of the story, all players were to be
absolutely natural.
Lillian Rich and Eugene O'Brien
head the cast. Edmund Burns is the
lover whom O'Brien would seek to
separate from Miss Rich. Henry
Walthal is the jealous husband. Aside
from the domestic angles in the pro-
duction, the scenes Of which are laid
IN London and in the Orient, there is
a circus sequence which recalls old
days to the father and mother and
brings delight to the children for
they will see the clowns, wild ami
mails, performing dogs, horses and
a complete side show Of human curl
Osities.
