McNufhl Srr- ') Greater Interest In Queen Selection Selec-tion JSxpected If you are one of the fair vounn- maidens residing in thin community, this particular paragraph la aoln to be mighty Interesting. How would you like to preside over the Poultry Day fete and be paid the homage due her Royal Highness, the Poultry Poul-try Queen, ride on a specially, designed de-signed float here during the parade, and how wpuld you like to reign as the queen at- the Utah County fair this fall at Provo, and again, how would you like fe have a nice free trip to California T Too good to be true? No, siree. Some of the above named honors will be conferred upon up-on one of American Fork beautes, and if she is the correct type, all these honors may oome to her Now, let's all of us get busy and think Just who will we have this year to grace the poultry day celebration cele-bration as queen. We know that American Fork boasts any amount of lovely girls, but the task of selecting se-lecting the loveUest will fall upon the cltlsena of this community. Other years the Poultry Day queen's reign was over with at the end of the day's celebration. This year there is a different arrangement, arrange-ment, and one which will causa ho little flurry of excitement among the fair sex. A handsome float wilt be prepared by the Utah County Fair committee, upon which each queen of each celebration of the county from now until fair time, will ride. As we understand it, the float will first be used In Pleasant Grove for Strawberry Day, next in American Fork, later in Lehl And other cltiee of the county. In the fall, all of the queens will be brought together and competent Judges will select the one who wiU be Miss Utah County, and the other young queens will be her attendants. a ciever aecoratlve scheme is being worked out In which the attendants will designate the community they represent A handsome prise Is belnsr offer ed by the Poultry Committee to the young lady chosen as queen in American Fork, and to the second choice will go tha honor of being CM American Fork, who also will bo rewarded. We can all, la our mind's eye review the crowds that viewed the parades of previous years; the throngs who cased in admiration at the queen and their attendants. It is understood that the trip to California will be given six aueena elected for similar occasions during the summer, who will be suitably chaperoned on their trip to the sun ny state. With these Inducements there Is no doubt that interest over the elec tion of a queen this year will run at a high pitch. The coupon, found In this issue, la the only oouoon bv which a girl may be nominated for the honor of Poultry queen. The nomination by this coupon gives tha nominee her first 1.000 rotes. Ballot boxes will be placed in each of the three drug stores. In which these coupons may be placed. In our next Issue will be printed tha full list of nominees, and votes will be available avail-able for purchase in the business houses. Remember, , your choice may be the' poultry queen, the county aueen and one of six' who will enjoy a Mcee trip to California.
