EVER TO JOHN r. WHAYNE

HERE IN THE FUTURE.

him Houses are scarce here in spite
of all the building that has been done
in the past two years. Mr.. and Mrs.
Whayne moved away from here six
years ago and they stayed about as
long as they can stay away from

Mr.. Whayne said "hoist a flag and you
can determine in which direction the
wind is blowing, just so with city,
watch which way the people are 60
ing and you can select the livest town
in the state. ArdmOre is now the liv-
est city in Oklahoma and it has Just
begun. Everybody is talking Ardmore
and for the next three or four years
there will be a building campaign
here that will make it a modern city,
that will make it a new city and that
will make it the busiest city in the
state"
Mr.. Whayne owns a large acreage
of oil lands about Healdton in "a, in
"a, and in 2,3 in the Fox district. Be-
sides these holdings he owns in fee
1850 acres near the Robinson well in
Muskogee county. He has made his
home for several years on the 1880
acre farm, nearly all of which is in
cultivation Besides these lands he has
320 acres in the Francis district in
Pontotoc county. He will leave here
next Monday for New Jersey to or
ganize a company of eastern capital
lists to develop his oil lands. He has
come to contribute his full part toward
the growth which he sees for this
city.

Wilson Endured Ridicule

Washington, ID. c., March 8.
revelations on Will
sons position in the interna-
tional situation came today
when it was learned that he had
told congressional leaders that
it was months after Bryan's re-
signation before the United
States government was earnest
in its position on submarine
warfare. He is understood to
have mentioned that to show
his belief that action by con-
gress would further weaken
the position of the United
States abroad. He wanted to
keep out of war, he said, and
had endured jeers and ridicule
for two years because of his eff
forts to maintain peace.

 ADVICE
 The following is clipped from an exchange:
 Our own chats with. movie stricken girls:
 Miss Leota Hampton. the vivacious fillum star, in her chat No. 411H to movie stricken maidens says: The over use of the lip-stick and the eye brow pencil is one of the most con- vincing evils to those ambitious for success. The beginner is apt to be overly liberal in the use of these cos metics and too much care as to the curtailing of peek-a-boo waists should not be overlooked. And then again, rundown heels are passe, and bus ties take up too much footage Those who would become successful movie artiStS-for it is an art-must punch the time clock promptly and purchase supply of eight-by-ten glossy finish photographs. Heaving breasts, and clinched fists are going out of fash ion in exemplifying the finer shades of emotion. but the slow, hesitating entrance remains good and has been known to save what would prove an otherwise slow piece of work"

A NEW COMMISSION

These representatives of the entire manufacturing industries of the United States are persuaded that it will be ex- pedient and may in the course of a new year become necessary to creat an in- dustrial relations commission which would have such authority over labor and capital as the federal reserve board has over the national banks and the in terstate commerce commission over the railroads. commission of that kind would, it Is thought, ultimately greatly reduce the friction between labor and capital.
 Not from any member of this associa- ton was heard any objection to the proposition that business should not only submit to necessary regula tion but that IT. is for the best interest of business that wise regulations be enacted.
 There was warm approval of the sen timent expressed by James Emery when he said that "business men can no longer afford to remain indifferent to the men, acing mass of unfriendly and of un- sound legislation. They must instead perfect organization for defensive and constructive action and the minds that have organized American business must stir it's dormant forces to a new sense of duty and responsibility.
 The 1916 meeting of the representa- tives of the manufacturing industries of the United States is regarded by the mem bers as the most important one ever held
