OKLAHOMA'S CHANCE
FOR NEW INDUSTRIES
{ BY Iohn w. Wilkinson.

The great congestion of freight in
the territory north and east of the
Ohio and Mississippi rivers is still
one of the most difficult problems
which our country has on its hands
today. AS a partial measure of re-
lief it has been suggested that all
new industrial enterprises should be
located outside of this area.
There is possibly no better field
for the location OF new Industries
than the great Southwest. Okla
homa, Texas, Arkansas and Louis
lana have vast amounts of raw ma
terial that can be very proitably
converted into valuable manufac-
tured products. OF the states men
toned, Oklahoma is especially for
tunate in having at its command 50
many rich mineral resources. Its
big supply of coal, oil and natural
gas insures a cheap and ineXhauSt-
ible supply of fuel for all the indus
trial plants that may be established
in the state. Its main coal field lies
in the eastern part of the state and
covers an area OF $1,000 square miles.
Within this there are seventy-nine
billion tons of coal and there are
other large coal fields in western
Arkansas, close by.
Oklahoma also has good railroad
and shipping facilities and labor
conditions are, perhaps, as favor
able here as in any state west OF
the Mississippi river. The demands
made upon many of the big indus
trial plants OF the east is taxing
their capacity, and it is evident to
every one that new and additional
plants will have to be established
to relieve the situation. The pres
ent congestion OF freight in the
northeastern states is serious and
the federal war board does not ia
vor the establishment OF any new
manufacturing plants within that
section.
Realizing the opportunity afford
ed Oklahoma in this exigency, the
secretaries of the commercial clubs,
the industrial agents OF the various
railroads in the state, and some OF
its biggest business men are per-
fecting an organization to promote
and encourage the establishment OF
new industries in the state, Tomor-
row, the secretary OF each CONNER
cial club in the state has been asked
to meet with the Oklahoma City
Chamber of Commerce and to bring
with him as a special delegate the
biggest and most influential bust
ness men in his county. At this
meeting data will be compiled in rel
erence to all the available raw ma
terialS in the state that can be util-
lied for industrial purposes, and an
industrial survey OF the 'tate will
be made. At this meeting it is also

Bringing Up Father Abroad"

They're screaming their heads OFT
all along the route OF The latest
George McManus cartoon musical
comedy, Bringing Up Father
Abroad according to the newspa-
per and other reports. The produc-
ton comes to the Palace theater
on Monday, March l8. Bringing
Up Father Abroad" is said to be i
laugh from curtain to curtain, save
when the comeliest OF all comely
chorus girls are singing or dancing
or the other specialists OF the or
ganization are entertaining with
their individual and combined ge-
MUS.
Everybody in the world has
laughed at some time at the gro
teSque cartoons OF the father series
OF McManus, but none of the series
in newspaper or stage maniiests is
said to have even remotely ap-
preached the roaring possibilities
OF the latest fun exposition.
Like the other pieces Of the Sc
ries, it is "Jiggs' Mahoney, the re-
tired Irish contractor, rich and pleas
ure loving, who keeps the fun pot
boiling. This time he and Mrs.
Jiggs decide to take trip to their
old home town in Ireland, and it is
there that the fun evolves. For one
thing, they're met by pair of
clever swindlers aboard the ship
who takes them over, and for an
other they buy a castle that the
trimmers have no more right to sell
than the Statue OF Liberty in New
York harbor.
They fall for the castle stuff, and
when they get to Ireland, their trou-
bles begin, and the mirth OF the au-
dience PAGES wildly, and makes but
tons hard to keep in place.
A company even more brilliant
than the hilarious organization
that made the Father" series re-
nowned throughout the country is
accredited to the Interpretation OF
bringing Up Father Abroad. -
with this emphasis, that most Of its
members are those identified with
former successes OF the McManus
Father" list, including Walter Yer
non and his partner, Louise Earle,
the former playing his familiar role
of "Jiggs," the Father" and Miss
Earle in this production appearing
as the Mother. Another great IA
vorite in the company is the side
splitting Perry Walling, who in this
piece appears as bogus Don
which in the text of the musicality
is a metaphor for swindler. Louise
Wolff, Jack Bell and Madeline Gray
are others OF the big company, the
chorus of which is said to be the
smartest, youngest and liveliest OF
all the auxiliary feminine bevies OF
this season on tour.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1918-03-13

hoped that arrangements can be
made to have ten OF the biggest and
most influential men in the state
chosen to act as leaders in this de-
velopment work. In short time it
is hoped that through a similar plan
OF action and the appointment of
similar committee in Arkansas,
Texas, and Louisiana 80 or 40 men
OF large affairs may work together
for the industrial development OF
the southwest and accomplish re-
suits more substantial and more Ger
tain than any that have been pos
sible heretofore by the work OF in
diyiduals or by these states when
acting independently.
An excellent program has been
prepared for the meeting, and there
is no doubt that it will result in
much good for all concerned. Every
commercial club in the state should
arrange to have its secretary and
one OF its biggest business men at
tend this meeting.

EXEMPTION BOARD WORK.

The local exemption board already
has under consideration the drawing
OF men in response to the last call
for troops, but the members OF the
board believe that the quota for
Carter County will be small il, in
deed, any shall be taken from this
county. In the call, which is for
$4,000 men, March %, Oklahoma is
to furnish only 59S, and in consid-
Grafton of the fact that this county
receives full credit for every man
sent to any arm of the service, and
as so many have been volunteering
and going to the coast artillery, and
some to other divisions, this county
may have already filled its quota.

Lost Liberty Bond.

Judge ]. L. Gait lost a $50 Lib
erty bond and is very anxious to
recover it. He said he would far
rather have lost that sum in money.
He said there is feeling that goes
along with the possession of these
bonds that replacing them with
money will not satisfy. He believes
he laid it down in his office, but is
not positive as to this.
