"There never was a time," said
business man dhls morning, "when
prospects were as bright for 'big sub-
stantial growth for El Reno as right
now. The money flurry la. few
mora hs ago. and the fact of tihe pres-
idential eled ion coming on. had a
l>-g 'tendency to hold money from
circulation, stop new improvements
and investments, and to cause too
nruch nervousness a'bout the future
business. The large commercial in-
d.iillutions as well as smaller enter-
prises and individual affairs, mil
were effected by the conditions, caus-
ing tihe hold-back. Usually business
is qu et before president al elections
and this year it was doubly so, be-
cause of the fear of 'bank change^;
that might be made Inhrougli con-
gress and iihe president's influence.
"Now there can ;be no -fiurther ex-
cuse for fear of «any dangerous chan-
ges. and the money that 'has l>een in
ihlding, or laying idle, amounting to
millions of dollars, will seek aven-
ues O.D trade and investment. Thiis
section will not only start general
condiUons off with a rush of busi-
ness, l>ut will have a tendency to
make things boom to make up ifor
lost i.ime during the past several
months of conservative waiting per-
iod. Now is -the time for El Reno

the National Society for the Promo-
tion of Industrial Education, which
will hold its seas-ions iiu this city dur-
llng the remainder of this wee-k.
The society was organized at a
meeting held In Cooj>er lTnion, New
York, in November, 1906, and the

states, and, as they increase in size,
will become 'branch societies.
