Festivities Will Eclipse Former Functions Ijjj Fashion Show Time Will Depict Greatness of Ogden in Com- ! mercial and Industrial Splendor Every Minute Will Be j Filled With Educational Gaieties Frpm Thursday to Saturday at Midnight. j The Ogden Fashion Show began as a mere day of festivity Ijl and pleasure for Ogden residents, the object being also to show, I in a way, the gaieties, and splendor of business windows, and j the brisk advancement of business men. It was a great suc- i! cess, but was destined to grow to much greater proportions fj and become one of the great fall functions in which shall be i depicted the commercial and industrial advancement from one a year's end to another. It is no longer a mere fashion show, I but a real life-size annual harvest festival, full of the spirit of j the reaping season and the culmination of the year's great ef- forts. It has grown to take the place of the annual fair which for time immemorial has been the great end-of-the-harvest- 1 1 season function in all countries. From a single day of jubliation the fashion show and fall tj festival has taken on proportions that make it necessary to 1$) continue the festivities for a period of three days, and it: is '$ more than likely that the affair will continue to grow until it f will be necessary to take up a week or more to complete thepro- J I , For the purpose of completing every A 1 detail for Ogdea's Fifth Annual Harv- J est Festival and Fashion show the t general committees will meet this if - evening at the Weber club and will 51 ' receive reports from the different J, chairmen regarding the progress' for the three-day event, which starts Thursday morning. The expectation is that the committees commit-tees will report that the work is progressing pro-gressing so rapidly that nothing will be left undone when the time of each ovent arrives. In order that this prog-ros prog-ros might be made several committees took advantage of Labor-day and held meetings while the- second dress rehearsal re-hearsal for the "Third Continental Congress" was held yesterday at the Alhambra theater.

The three chief events of the open- grams that will be required to satisfy the people. The features of the function this year are far in advance of those of last season and it is safe to say that the people of northern Utah will witness a jubilee time never before experienced in this section of country. Not a minute of the three days and nights will .there be a cessation of pleasure-giving events and when the time is over it will be said that Ogden's true greatness in business and industrial pursuits, and in her great manufacturing manufactur-ing ventures were truly depicted in the parades, decorated business busi-ness blocks and streets, and in every program presented to the public. It will be a time long to be remembered by not only Ogden residents but the visitors who come to mingle in the festivities. It will be the Fifth time of the event, covering a period of five 3'ears, and a comparison between the first one given and that of this year will show the great strides that have been made in that period of time. Every committee from the one having general supervision supervis-ion of the affair down to the one of least importance worked earnestly and advantageously to make thefestivalasuccess,and the efforts have been rewarded. Every detail has been worked out and it is certain that not a single part of the programs of the various departments will be slighted. From the rising of the sun Thursday morning until the little hours Sunday morning morn-ing begin to dawn the programs will be carried out with the precision of clockwork. Ing day will be the patriotic parade, In which 3,200 to 3,500 people are expected ex-pected to participate; the unveiling of the queen, whose name has not yet been announced, and the representation represent-ation of "The Third Continental Congress," Con-gress," In which a number of prominent promi-nent business and professional men will take part. Dr. Relnhold Kanzler Is chairman of the patriotic parade committee, one of the chief events of the opening day, and he predicts that fully 3,500 people wll be in line for the march through the business district dis-trict of tho city. The fact that 700 employes of the Southern Pacific railroad rail-road shops and offices havo decided to Join in the parade, that a dozen fraternal fra-ternal orders have isued calls for their members to assemble for this part of the program, that women's organiza-U6ns organiza-U6ns are taking an Interest in tho display of patriotic feeling, that factory fac-tory employes are arranging to Join in the parade all indicate that this prediction is correct or that the number num-ber will be even larger. Governor Spry has been invited to lead tho parade, pa-rade, along with Mayor Heywood and the city commissioners. This wil lbe the one parade In which automobiles will not participate. The belief is expressed that the barbecue, Saturday noon, will be the greatest of its kind ever planned in the lntermountain country. Two largo steers and two lambs have been secured se-cured and will be barbecued in special spe-cial roasters that have been built, gas being used for the cooking. In the same ovens will be roasted the 3,500 pounds of potatoes, while a gigantic gi-gantic tank, six feet In height and ; six feet in diameter, the corn will be . prepared, 400 dozen ears. Besides tho committee will serve 125 pounds nf vnH Pr wn loaves of bread, two barrels of pickles, three crates of lettuce, let-tuce, salt and pepper. To prepare this feat will require a force of ten men with thirty-two men to do the serving. The presentation of "The Third Continental Congress" promises to be one of the most Interesting features of the festival. This drama will bo given at the Alhambra theater under tho direction of the festival association. associ-ation. Special stage settings and costumes cos-tumes have been secured and those who have seen the dress rehearsals declare that the prominent men taking tak-ing part In tills event present a perfect per-fect representation of the original scene when the Declaration of Independence In-dependence was signed.
