El Reno's big aviation meet,
scheduled for May the 13th and 14th
has flunked. The alleged bird men
have flown, not in the deep cerulean
above El Reno, but flew de-coop.
They had a packing plant sort of a
proposition up their sleeve, and Presi-
dent Cope of the Commercial Club,
who is something of a high flying
bird himself, proved to be too old a
fowel, to be caught by chaff. And
as soon as the amateure aviating
fakirs discovered this fact, they call-
ed the thing off. We understand,
however, that John Koogle has con-
sented to do a little high flying him-
self on the days set apart for the
meet providing President Cope will
furnish him with a couple of toy
balloons. They say that it is an ill
wind that blows nobody good. And
whilst a few people may be disap-
pointed, it will really save El Reno
thousands of dollars.
It is the intention and desire of
the publishers of the Peoples Press
to have it reach every home within
the corporate limits of El Reno, and
we want you to register a kick if you
fail to receive it.

WEDDED LAST NH.IIT.
Mr. Claude Pitts and Miss Kathryn
Day were the principals in a pretty
home wedding at the home of the
bride's mother, Mrs. Zoe Day, 120
South Admire, last evening.
The ceremony was performed by
the Rev. Mr. Maddox of the Baptist
church, and was witnessed by only
the immediate relatives of the popu-
lar young people who thought they
were stealing a march on their
friends. They were very much mis-
taken however, and their trip to
southern cities was delayed a matter
of about twelve hours by admiring
friends who did not like such a pre-
cipitate departure, details of which
are printed in another column.
The bride is one of the most popu-
lar young ladies in El Reno, the
groom is a rising young business man,
and both are loved by all who know
them.
The Press extends congratulations.
