ize the size of this wonderful insti-
tuition and what it will mean to Ok

Of this magnitude located within

homa must expand industrially if
she is to maintain her high posi-
ton in the forward march of states.
Her natural resources are wonder
full, but she must now turn her at
tention to manufacturing. Look,
what it would mean to this wonder
full state today, if we had factories
like the eastern states, at every
cross road, that could participate in
the filling of war orders. 1t would
simply bring millions Of dollars to

AUDITORIUM.
Banner Double Feature Bill Today Jack Pickford and Louise Huff in FreckIes-Doris Kenyon in The Great White Trail.

The two charming young stars, Louise Huff and Jack Pickford, will be seen at the Auditorium today Friday and Saturday in Marian Fairfax's pho todramatization of Gene Stratton Por- ter's celebrated novel, Freckles. The story is exactly suited to these clever young people who as co-stars recently scored such a success in Great Ex- pectations and Seventeen. "The pret- hest girl in filmdom' is coming to the auditorium theatre when The Great White Trail, the new super-feature by The Whartons, is shown here next Thursday, Friday and Saturday. That person is Doris Kenyon, who plays the star part of Prudence Ware in the story of Alaska, and what is more, she was not so named by the press depart ment. In fact, the name never occur red until the reviews of The Great White Trail appeared in the various papers. Then it was that she was named by the common consent of the reviewers 'the prettiest girl in film dom"-and the name has remained
 The Great White Trail tells a story of love in the wild, rushing days of the struggle to reach Klondike. Prac- t:cally all the scenes are laid in Alaska.

CANTERBURY GREEN
Woods Yield Hoops and OK Bows as We'll as Fuel--Lineoln Exercises Parker Lathrop in French Hospital c. E. Social Planned. @

Canterbury woods are of untold ser vice in these stringent times. They solve the fuel problem almost com pletely, so far as local people are con- cerned,. and they help to solve it for other people as well. Besides this, they furnish the ma terial for the hoop shop. Hoops as small as four inches in diameter and as large as 34 inches are ordered by the thousand, to be used on masts. etc., and by process that is interesting and wonderful they are produced from logs of oak and ash. These hoops may go to either the Atlantic or Pacific seaboard. From logs of hickory are fashioned OK bows. which are called for down in Cuba.
 Why the Green Was Named.
 As one looks at Canterbury Green at the present time he may well feel that it was not so named in winter. Sum- mer would be the time to name it that when the church lawn in green with grass and the trees are green with leaves. Then, show appropriate the term! But as if that were not suffi- cient, there is another reason for call it so in the name of the man who sold the land to the town; this man was Robert Green.
