of their enterprises been due in measures
to the work of the Omaha Commercial club. OF
twenty conventions which have met in Omaha within
twelve months all but two had the largest attendance
in their history.
That the work of the Publicity bureau in attract
ing the attention of the country the city of Omaha
in general way Well in specific ways, followed
up by the cooperation of the Commercial club in
securing locations and making satisfactory business
connections then the traffic bureau of the club seeing
to it that the enterprise If it require shipping
facilities gets the best possible with good rates as
any competitor in other ces-will help make II pos
sible for Omaha to have 100000 population no
reasonable business doubts. If he does he must
repudate the experience of the best cities in America
cities which have shown the same steady progress
and growth is shown in Omaha.
The publicity bureau OF the Commercial club has

which made When representatives of the city
go after convention big gathering they make
strong claims and when the gathering is landed is
up to Omaha to make good This 1t fails to
do as has been demonstrated many occasions. One
of the greatest advertisements Omaha has is the
boosting done by visitors TO the city They come ex-
pecting to real city, but they agreeably

and by exploiting its enterprises shows the
country that Omaha is an attractive and desirable
place in which to make home; conservative but
certain place invest money because OF its healthy
energy and enterprise
First thirg and then another comes along, and
they all happen out there in Omaha" There were
the shows the poultry show the automobile and
electrical shows pure food show and the hardware
show News of all these enterprises reaches the
now. Then comes a promenade of events-the Ne
braska retailers coal dealers from nine states the
saengerfest attracting singers from all the
try; the advertising of nation, the most famous
aviators in the world and national tennis tourna-
ment These are crowned by the enchanting festival
of Ak-SaT-Ben.
They have everything out there in Omaha" is an
idea which the eastern man cannot get away from If
he wanted to do --.
Attracted by the accounts of these enterprises and
conventions, many OF them notable in character and
nationwide in their interest Omaha soon hears from
them when the goes out
Thousands coming to the city each year to attend
conventions and meetings going back to their
homes tell their business associates and friends
that Omaha delivers the goods"
Before starting the work of handling conventions
in Omaha in systematic the committee RESPONSE
BILE for the organization of the Publicity bureau made
quiet investigation. Twenty-sx out of thirtyhve OF
the leading cities OF America wrote that after long
perence the business of those cities had to

their favorable impression and induce them to come
to the city making this effort All thisprovided they
have been favorably impressed while in the city on

The experience of the Commercial club of Omaha
been broad enough to know that this is true The
testimony of twenty-six of the cities in the United
mendous amount of money each year in advertising
and promotion work 1t is their candid opinion that
well entertained convention is city's best adver-
tsement"
Plainly, the department of the Commercial club
handling the publicity and promotion work for the city
OF Omaha is doing systematically what the business
men of Omaha have long been doing in a hap-hazard
way. Omahas hospitality a convention city is
known from one side of the country the other but
as 900 conventions meet in the United States each
year cities have regard it good business to
centraze their efforts the conventions which
may best entertained and for them the max
imum of attendance.
Nor is the work of the Publicity bureau confined
to the securing and taking care of conventions that
is only one of the many ways in which the bureau
seeks to advertise Omaha and increase prosperity.
One of the first things the bureau did to take
advantage the National Corn exposition unique
enterprise and convert 1t into great advertisement
for the city of Omaha the like of which has not been
equaed since the Transmssissippi and international
exposition. More than Ii 900 newspaper clippings on
file in the bureau tells the story in small way.

Then followed series OF events in which the
bureau has played important part In the advance
ment of Nebraskas interests well the interests
of the city of Omaha.
When 1t became known last spring that the seed
corn in the state of Nebraska poor and plant
meant to reduce the production of in Nebraska
many millions of bushels, it the Publicity bureau
which started the statewide campaign to get farmers
interested in testing their seed The campaign
unique and letters from farmers bankers. grain
campaign was effective The growing crop few
months after the campaign started proved that
the movement timely and has doubtless made Ne
braska countless thousands of dollars.
Taking by the government is difficult
task. Faithful work the part of those taking the
census in Omaha could obtain no such results were
obtained by the cooperation of the Publicity bureau.
Omaha has grown in the last ten years-every bust
in the city wants to know how much. No
exaggerated accounts have been wanted, padding
would be tolerated BY the cooperation of the Com
mercial clubs Publicity bureau the census enumera-
tors enabled to get the actual people in Omaha
and when the figures come out it may be stated with
out disregarding the best efforts the part of the
census enumerators-the Publicity bureau is respon-
sble for finding many thousand people by a careful
system Of checking.

BANK LAW THREATENED.
Oklahoma Legislature Likely to Amend
Measure at Special Meetinu

Guthrie. Okla. Jan. fit Is stated
that special session OF the Oklahoma
legislature will be called to meet Jan.
s. and that the solons will revamp the
bank guaranty law.
That the bank guaranty measure la
in dire straits. Is admitted even by those
who favor tho measure. and 1t Is be-
lieved that Governor Haskell, who Is
a stanch supporter of the idea. has been
led TO believe that the law must be
amended or 1t win soon be discarded.
Two things threaten the law. They
are the adverse decisions in federal
courts In Kansas and Nebraska which
make compulsory guarantee laws slie-
gal. and the lack OF funds now In the
hands Of the state banking board. The
bulk of the guarantee fund fs now
tied up In the assets of the failed Co
lumhia Bank & Trust Company. Of
Oklahoma. and a court decision holds
that 100000 claims must be settled
from these assets before tho money can
be put at the disposal of the state bank
ing board.
The decisions in Kansas and Ne
braska make It practically certain that.
should another state bank fail and q
call be made for another emergency as
sessment on the other banks, the mat
ter would at once 20 to the federal
courts and the assessment would be de-
fcated. That would mean the end OF
the guaranty system in oklahoma; ct
least, In its present form. and would
so dlscredit the idea. 1t Is said. that
| the defeat of any form of guaranty
law would be pretty sure to follow.
| Bankers favorable to the law have
| consulted with the governor and the
state banking board. 1t is said, and
only prompt action. 1t was decided. can
save the law. Just what form the
amendments will take Is not yet deter
mined. but 1t Will be so framed tgag
