The Initial well of the Col- mar or Plymouth pool, about 3 miles northeast of Plymouth, was completed April 30, and bad an initial dally pro- duction of 75 barrels of llghtgravlty oil from a sand encountered at a depth of 417 fate The attractive combina- tion of fair yield, shallow depth, and low coat of drilling resulted to a rapid development of the pool, which proved to he of small anal extent and com- parable la many way* with the Carlyle •nd Sandoval pools. Geologically the Colmar oil field Ilea near the crest of g tew, well defined anticline or arch af- fecting Paleozoic strata, the uppcrmoat of which exposed on the crest of the fold comprise limestone bods assigned to the St. Louis and Osage groups of the Mlsslsslpplan series. The produc- tive formation of the pool is described by the Illinois State Geological Survey In Bulletin 23 as a sandy limestone that la doubtfully identified with the lower part of the Devonian or the up- 5r part of the Silurian system, and • oil, which la unaccompanied by ga», to reported to be green In color, to have a gravity of about 37° Baume, end to contain only a small percentage of sulphur. The finding of oil In this locality la of especial interest, because Of previous recommendations, in a re- port on the geology of the Colchester and Macomb quadrangles, prepared in 1813 by a geologist of the United States Geological Survey to: coopera- tion with the Illinois State Geological Survey. In St. Mary's township, Hancock county, a few miles west of the Col- mar pool, one oil well with an initial dally production of 45 barrells was completed In September. Ten Ytara' Output. .

SANE FOURTH LEAVES FEW DEATHS IN WAKE Funerals Are Fewer, Since Sensible Independence Day Was Started. ^ (Continued from Page 1.) of July tetanus is easy to prevent, but extremely difficult to cure. No blank cartridge wound li too trivial to re- ceive careful medical attention. How- ever slight the injury may appear, summon a physician and at once adopt energetic measures." The Toy Pistol. One of the most dangerous of the accessories for celebration Is the toy pistol. In the state of Illinois, under a law which became effective two years ago. It is a misdemeanor, pun- ishable by fine of 935 for anyone to trade, sell or give away any toy pistol so made or constructed that it can be u»dd to shoot blank cartridges. The Flying Fire Brand. One of the most glaring hazards that was brought out by the celebration of Independence day last year was that of the fire balloon. Many fires in WU- mstte and hundreds over the state, were caused by the hot air balloon. Many times these balloons alight be- fore the hot, resinous torch has gone out. and In such cases a Are is Inevita- ble. Personal responsibility Is hard to trace la these fires, because a bal- loon may he sent up to one place and start a fire miles away. It does not appear that anything can be done to eliminate Area from hot air haHoons until such time as their use Is prohibited by the legislature of this state. THE YELLOW JACKET BY COBUBN PLAYEKS Present Flay in Northwest- ern Gym Wednesday, July 7. With the new organisation of summer schools of Northwestern uni- versity, there is registration of students, this season, a fact which we noted a few days ago The new attitude, however, manifests itself particularly in the t ance of the Coburn Players fit Festival hall, to the Northwestern gymnasium. Wednesday evening, July 7, at 8 o'clock. The management of the sum- mer schools has secured these watt known players j>rimarlly for the bene- fit of the summer students, having in mind, at the same time, the interest that the north shore wm he sure to feel in the players sad In the play which they are to present That very interesting vehicle Is "The Yellow Jacket." the work of J. H. Benrlmo and George C. Hazelton, Jr. when It appeared at the Pine Arte In Chicago, will undoubtedly want to see It again, and those who did not ceo it to its short stay there, win miss One of the most delightful evenings of their lives, if they do not attend at this timer -_.â- â- > A Chinese Love Story. "The Yellow Jacket" is an ancient Chinese love - story, written about Chinese people, In a Chinese style, and is acted in a Chinese manner. In other words. It Is thoroughly Chinese. It Is the story of a young man and bis search to discover who his ances- tors were. As one critic said," 'Ances- tors' in a Chinese play are equivalent to fame sod fortune in a drama of the western world." The play Is the work of men who have made a study of the subject. Mr. Benrlmo lived in China for many years, and' was very well acquainted with Chinese customs. He msde a study of Chinese theaters and has prepared this play just aas one would see it in China. The play was originally presented at the Fulton theater. New York, and remained there for five months, with a capacity bouse all the time. Critics have said that "The Yellow Jacket" performance by the Coburn players is the most unique, most orig- inal, meat interesting play produced in America for years. The Chinese stage, with Us lack of scenery, its gor- geous costumes, and the very unique make-ups, surely adds to the interest of ihe production. The play has been presented In many college towns, and is always received with great en- thusiasm. One college president said, "It represents to my mind the perfect fusion of good writing and good acting, so Indispensable to the stage, and yet so rarely found upon It" Appeals to the imagination. Mr. Charles Coburn and bis company of thirty to forty players have a novel style of presentation that makes the story appeal to the imagination of all within sight and sound. Mr. Coburn has had much experience end knows what the public wants and needs. It Is surely a rare treat for the people of the north shore to have the oppor- tunity of hearing this company.

Mr. Young's advan- tage to being 77 was that he was al- lowed seventeen strokes to the quali- fying round, a stroke for every year above sixty. He finds no disadvantage la being that old, for he playa good golf, and lots of It. That's the reason he doesn't ride in a wheel chair. Rollin W.

Mr. and Mrs. J. to Small, with a score of 193â€"23â€"79. want tow net prise, the second best score was made by Mr. and Mrs. Mis mas Street, with In selecting a country home for the summer special attention should be given to the question of a pure water supply. Farms, which are generally remote from towns, cities, or other areas of congested population, seem to be almost Ideally situated for obtain- ing pure and wholesome water. In reality, however, polluted water Is ex- ceedingly common on farms, and ty- phoid-fever rates are usually greater in country districts than in cities, Typhoid fever Is transmitted largely In drink or 'food taken Into the stom- ach and is especially likely to be com- municated by polluted waters obtained from shallow wells near spots where the discharges of typhoid patients have been deposited and subsequently carried into the wells, and It is doubt- less principally this fact that makes the disease so common in farming regions. The sources of the water used on the farm are numerous â€" lakes, streams, springs, wells of various kinds, and cisternsâ€"all being exten- sively used, although the water from lakes and streams Is generally used only for stock. Each of these sources under some conditions may yield en- tirely safe and satisfactory supplies, while under-other conditions certain of them may be a constant menace to health Of the various sources of water sup- ply the ground water is the most satis- factory for farm use, because it Is least liable to pollution, and streams and ponds are the most unsatisfactory, because of the ease and frequency with which they are contaminated. Fortun- ately, however, they are very seldom used- for drinking and domestic pur- poses, being utilized mainly for stock, on which the effect of slight general pollution Is not serious, though some severe epidemic of disease among cattle have been traced to polluted streams. The underground supplies, whether from wells or springs, al- though safe to many localities, are far from being universally so, the safety depending mainly on their location ami on the nature of their protection. Many of the failures to protect ade- quately the water supplies used for drinking arise from a lack of knowl- edge of the manner la which waters circulate through the ground and of the ways to whleh they may become polluted. Information on these sub- jects should be of value, aad It Is with the object of supplying this Informa- t ion that the United States Geological Survey has published Water Supply Paper .255. on "Underground Waters for Farm Use." a copy of which may be obtained free on application to the Director of the Geological Survey.
